    Best RF Binos. Swaro, Lecia, Vectors, Revics?

    It seems for people who have used both, the main benefits of the Geovid R over the Revic are marginally better optical quality and lower cost. With the current deal on the Revic units bringing them much closer to the Geovid cost I wonder if I would really appreciate the difference in optical...

    Best RF Binos. Swaro, Lecia, Vectors, Revics?

    I'm looking to replace my bino + rangefinder setup with RF binos. I primarily hunt eastern appalachian public and small farms in semi rural areas but I am planning some future western hunts as well. I have never looked through top end glass and I don't intend to spend long hours glassing for...

    Hauling meat with a bike: Trailer vs Racks & Panniers

    I've had a month of hunting since I created this thread and here is what I've done/learned: I added a rear rack (old man mountain divide) with a couple folding wire baskets attached to the sides and mounted ATV gun holder grips to the handlebars. Riding with a ~25lb pack on your back sucks...

    Hauling meat with a bike: Trailer vs Racks & Panniers

    I never considered two wheel trailers for exactly that reason, I feel they will easily tip over on the uneven roads and trails I will be using. A single wheel trailer may track better and shouldn't be as prone to tipping over but having never used one I'm not sure how much the attachment arm...

    Hauling meat with a bike: Trailer vs Racks & Panniers

    Did you haul any animals with the trailer before deciding to use racks/panniers? When you have the panniers loaded, how is getting on/off the bike? Prone to tipping over? Should I be looking for a sturdy kick stand to add along with racks/panniers if I choose to go that route?

    Hauling meat with a bike: Trailer vs Racks & Panniers

    What kind of speeds are you reaching pulling the baby stroller while loaded? How well does it handle steep declines with your attachment method? Have you used it on any rocky/bumpy roads/trails?

    Hauling meat with a bike: Trailer vs Racks & Panniers

    I have a Trek Roscoe 29” that I want to use to haul deer up to maybe 5-6 miles on single track trails, old logging roads and gated admin roads. I am considering Old Man Mountain Divide racks on the front and rear or a BOB Ibex trailer. Typically, I bring my pack (Mystery Ranch Pop up) with a...

    Tikka t3x lite stainless barrel threading

    Have you shot the CAT JL much? It has been getting great reviews so I'm curious how it compares to other top end 30 cal suppressors.

    My gear/pack layout from base layers to binos

    Are the ventile cotton jackets durable enough for pushing drives through thorn filled clear cuts, rhododendron and all other manner of nasty thickness? A top that can protect my upper body from all the cuts and scrapes, breathes well enough to prevent excessive sweating and can block wind/rain...

    DRT Terminal Shock Load Data

    Muzzleloader was a 20 yard shot quartering hard away with impact velocity around 2100fps. Deer ran 30 yards before I heard it go down. The 45 caliber bullet combined with the shot angle tore the hide open about 4 inches where the bullet entered, heart was destroyed and lungs were heavily...

    To brake or not to brake... that is the question.

    It makes sense that there is variability in protection based upon using best practices vs typical use. The question is how to apply that to your personal use. It seems that "typical use" is pretty haphazard and frankly lazy. Plugs only partially inserted, muffs worn loosely with...

    To brake or not to brake... that is the question.

    I wear foam plugs with ear muffs quite often, both for target practice and while running a chainsaw. When shooting I wear safety glasses cocked so they don't go between my head and the muffs. I do notice enhanced sound deadening but I don't know that my subjective experience allows me to...

    To brake or not to brake... that is the question.

    I was really hoping to hear some others chime in on this. Any idea why this study shows higher db reduction for both foam plugs and plugs + muff? Is it realistic to expect 50db-ish protection if one carefully inserts 30db+ plugs and wears 20db+ muffs with a solid seal completely around the ear?

    Deep Freezer Organization tips/tricks

    I sometimes buy 50lb boxes of meat from a wholesale butcher and I re-use the heavy duty boxes in my chest freezer.

    Taking a non-Hunter along - Yes or No

    It would depend on how well I knew the person and what their expectations were. I have access to some private DMAP properties that are loaded with deer and have easy access with high odds of success.
