    Ground hunting pressured whitetails

    Listened to a podcast recently where the solution was to practice releasing the arrow about as soon as you anchor, like with traditional archery. The key to this, according to the guy preaching this, was to focus on the pin and put it on your target as you pull. So you’re already there by the...

    **got One** Help me choose a rifle.

    Not at all. Patriot is very much a budget rifle; its worst weakness is the plastic magazine design (but last I checked, even the Tikka T3x uses a plastic mag). But it flat out shoots and will get the job done, leaving money to spend on other items. I realize I didn’t spell out the A-Bolt was...

    Attention Whitetail Hunters: Giveaway!

    The solution is to have a separate e-mail address/account just for giveaways. That way all the junk doesn’t clutter the one you use for important things. You just check it for “You Won!” in the subject line and sale flyers.

    FJ Cruiser thoughts?

    Not at all comfortable in the back seat. Like they were trying to take the “discomfort” title from the Hummer.

    Sounds like hunters there have to be like cakes (or, to quote Skrek, onions)—layers!

    Nice profile pic. Are wood ducks y’all’s primary duck species? Seems here in E Tennessee it’s either that or gadwall on good days. Though late season we get spooked mallards, too.

    One Place and One Species… What and Where Are You Hunting?

    I cannot definitively answer the question, yet. I’m still building experiences. Maybe in a couple years I can say. But from what I have experienced: Appalachian Whitetails

    Colorado ML question

    Don’t know about the rule, but the drudgery of carrying 2 rifles would seem to put you to a sufficient disadvantage, that the advantage of a quicker follow-up shot doesn’t violate “the spirit of the law” governing a primitive season. Curious about this also—were I to bet, I’d say they’ve...

    2023 Kentucky archery elk tag

    “How dare you mention the state!!!!” Just kidding 🤣 Let us know how it goes, and good luck! I admit I get a kick out seeing Eastward bound elk hunters! Maybe I’ll draw a TN elk tag at some point in the next 30 years.
