    Electronic hearing protection brands

    Stay away from the ShotHunt hearing protectors. If you forget to take the batteries out they get stuck in the unit and the cost to have the battery removed is $250 per side. Basically, you are buying a new unit. The batteries will swell enough to get stuck in less than a week. I know this from...

    What lightweight tent do you use and why do you like it?

    TarpTent StratoSpire 1. It has seen all kinds of weather and been cozy. The nest will sleep two in a pinch if they are good friends. Fine for two without the nest. Room for your gear in the vestibules. I am happy with it.

    CO 2nd Season Goat Gear

    I have used a Tarptent Stratospire 1 tent-pole tent for two seasons of early fall high-altitude hunting in Northern Colorado and have no complains about using a trekking pole tent in principle even after being snowed on twice, rained on, blown on, etc. I am not familiar with your tent, so your...

    Duck gun

    Any particular reason you are tied to a semi-auto? I moved from a Benelli SBE 3-1/2" to a Browning BPS 3" and found that I was hitting and killing a higher percent of my birds.A pump is not better or worse than a semi-auto, but everything being equal, a pump is more reliable and less costly.

    Colorado Unit 02 Muzzleloader Deer

    My son and I drew Colorado Unit 02 muzzleloader deer tags. The unit is supposed to have good bucks if you can find them, and I have been told to scout, scout, scout. Besides that, anyone willing to share some advise on general areas to start in. Since it has been so dry in that area, I was...

    Help me judge this Billy

    One advantage to him is I am hunting solo and he was in a location where I can safely get to him and get him out myself. I did see a goat in the area that may be daddy, but getting to him and getting him out would at best be "challenging."

    Help me judge this Billy

    I am new to goat hunting and found this Billy a couple of weeks ago. I have looked at a lot of goat pictures and am guessing him at seven to eight inches. What say you guys?
