Title says it all…I’ve been looking for hot weather hunting pants for my son and no luck so far. He’s 11, about 5’ even, slim build. I’ve tried KUIU, Sitka, and First Lite. Any suggestions?
I am looking for a (relatively) inexpensive framed backpack for my son. If we tag out an elk this fall he won’t be packing out 100# loads, probably more like 30# so I don’t need a load shelf. I was thinking something non hunting branded (i.e., not Exo, KIUI, Kifaru, etc). He has been training...
Just wanted to see if anyone had suggestions for boots for an 11 year old for western hunting for elk this fall. He’s nowhere near done growing so an expensive paif of boots would not be my first choice, and since he’s young he’s pretty tolerant of footwear choices as long as they aren’t...
Okay so I have not had alpha glass before...I'm currently using a pair of 10x42 Athlon Cronus which are, in my view, excellent especially considering the price. Every chance I get at a store I look at the binos and in impromptu bino viewing this past year the NL Pure (10x42) has seemed...
Looking at ordering some gear for the first time from Blackovis, they have the Shipping Protection option, with the size of my order it's over $80, does anyone ever select and pay for that option?
Okay so I'm a noob hunter, going to get tags for next year to hunt elk. I am going with my 2 sons, one is 26 the other 11. I will be getting one tag for myself, one for my 11 yo and my 26 y.o. son for himself. From what I am hearing, since Idaho has become capped on tags, that it is very...
So I have my first deer, it's been gutted, skinned and quartered, it is being dry aged in my refrigerator on racks for about 7 days now. I plan to freeze a lot of it (ate the tenderloin, liver and heart already), my question is before freezing to you remove the dry "rind" on it, or leave it on...
So I'm a beginning hunter, I chose to use bow and I'm gearing up for both local and out-of-state hunts...local will be deer, remote will be elk, hog, pronghorn.
So I know a lot of people love the RF Binos as it eliminates having to carry 2 devices and saving that weight. As well as the...
I just started training with a weighted pack (40#) by hiking trails and around the block. I get a muscle fatigue at the top of the thigh under the iliac crest - using the clock directions, if you picture it it’s the muscle that is at the 1:30 position for my right leg and the 10:30 for the...
Okay newbie here, I have a question about tuning. I've read all about paper tuning and walk back tuning. Done both. Also of course did some tuning with sights. My question is if you're shooting is off left or right at a distance, say 20 or 30 yards, why do you tune with the rest and not the...
Wanted to introduce myself, don't know if that's protocol around here...so hopefully I'm not breaking any rules.
I'm new to archery although I shot a bit in college, after college life got in the way and it dropped by the wayside. Lifelong outdoorsperson, been fishing/hiking since I was a kid...
