    What ground blind do you like and why?

    I bought a 5 hub blind a few years ago. Set up wasn't too bad, but break down is a complete pain in the ass. Yeah, I've watched the video over, and over and over again. It now lives in its box under my bunk at camp.

    Bring sharpener for fixed blade or ditch it for a Havalon?

    I carry 2 fixed blades in my pack on all hunts. I have yet to need the second blade to finish processing any animal, but it's reassuring to know its there. As far as the extra weight, I can take the second blade out or put it back in the pack and never notice the difference. Even if I did...

    Coaxial vs rock chucker

    Been using a Rock Chucker to make precision ammo since '75. I might go to a coax when it wears out 😉....if I don't first.

    Corner Crossing: Public Wins!

    Survey pins should be made clearly visible at all corners. Corner fence posts should be made approximately 30" apart (pick a number), to allow for access for all, including wheelchairs. This should be the LO's financial responsibility, considering the decades of free exclusive use they've had...

    Am I the only one who hates RF pouches on Bino Harnesses?

    I'm not a fan of add on or side pouches. I keep my RF in the front pocket of an AGC Kodiak Cub MAXX, on a coiled elasticized tether. It serves me well.

    Hawk any angle tree seat

    I have 4 of them and love them. Great adjustability, quiet swivel seat, thick comfy seat cushion....I'd buy more but I don't see sales on CamoFire anymore. I set them up at various locations and leave them all season. They're pretty heavy and bulky, but I suppose they'll fit in a big enough...

    Flying with rifle and ammo

    Generally, (read that again), domestic flights require ammo to be in original packaging or plastic boxes made for ammo storage, and locked in either the hard firearm case or a locked container inside another checked bag. Generally, (read that again), international flights require the same...

    Cold Weather Mittens Combo

    I've given up on mitts and choppers. For the last 5 years I've been using a Hunters Safety System handmuff with a couple of chem paks and its been working out very well for real cold situations. I keep a pair of Kryptek Vellus gloves tucked into the middle of the warm muff to give me another option.

    Do you hunt solo or as a group?

    Depends Back east, since dad and gramps are gone, I'm pretty much solo. I stay at camp with 5-6 buddies. But, while I cherish the comradery and traditions of deer camp, I stay pretty well away from them while out on the hill. For hunts out west I'm always solo. My buddies either don't have the...

    Which spotting scope should I buy from this list (lowest prices found listed)

    Agreed But I wouldn't buy from anyone who ships from Asia. You might be setting yourself up for a grey market warranty (basically useless).

    Big spotter question.

    I have a 554, an 884 and I just purchased a 66s body to share the eyepiece with the 884. All 3 have spectacular image, contrast and color. I carry the 554 ALWAYS because of its size and weight. The only knock on this scope is its small FOV, which is not an issue for me, since I only pull it from...

    Big spotter question.

    Kowa I'm a big fan of Kowa's top tier optics. Two of my buddies are Swaro guys. Whenever we're out scouting and glassing, they usually ask if we can switch up spotters for awhile. Funny, I've never asked the same question. Just an anecdotal observation, no science involved. Swaro has the name...

    Spotting scope wrap

    I really like what i see in the Outdoor Visions covers. Unfortunately, they dont make a cover yet for the TSN-66s. I ended up ordering some Camo Form for now. I'll slap that on, and hope that Outdoor Vision adds a cover to their lineup soon, for the 66s.
