    Help a Newb with some tips and tactics for kids please

    It sounds like you are off to a great start, and are putting in the effort to set them up for success which is a major win for them to have someone like you in their lives! Whitetail can be a little tricky to pattern early, as mentioned above. If they are set on a buck, it may be helpful for...

    Your favorite hunting knife?

    I received the Benchmade Hidden canyon with my RMEF membership a year or two ago. I thought it was pretty neat and tried it in the field and loved it. I carry that and a little sharpener and it very quickly replaced my outdoor edge, I don't think I'll ever go back after experiencing a really...

    Arrow and sight help

    I wouldn't get overly concerned about the sight. There are plenty of great hunters out there running much older and lower grade gear than you and they are killers. I would, however take it to another shop who you don't have any personal relationship with and have it adjusted to fit and tuned...

    Good eats Waikiki

    Not really steak, but if you want a little more relaxed atmosphere, Paia Fish Market is quite good, IMO.

    Best Puffy?

    I was set on a hunting puffer but ended up with a Marmot after trying different jackets on. It's crazy warm, light, and gives great range of motion. I love it. Similar to others, it often goes under a light outer shell, especially when still hunting thick timber.

    How do I make my goat taste better?

    Something I haven't seen mentioned is velveting the meat. Sprinkle a little baking soda on, wait 30 minutes or so and pat it off a bit. Season and cook. Restaurants use this trick to tenderize tough meat. I use it on pretty much all my game meat and it has been a game changer, especially in...

    How can I like the taste of venison

    Read The Home Production of Quality Meats and Sausages by Stanley Marianski. It's a truly educational book that will give you legitimate information you can trust. I read it, tried the advice, and suddenly people were telling me I need to start a butcher shop. The best part? The recipes in there...

    West hunting shooting distances

    I practice out to 60 but don't plan to shoot more than 40 unless it's a follow up. Having the confidence to shoot another 20-30 yards if it runs and stops after a hit is comforting.

    Considering a move with family need suggestions

    I know it's getting some hate, but Minnesota can really be an outdoors paradise. I grew up there in a rural town and we fished, hunted and explored our rear ends off (plus the people were extremely friendly). The health care there has been excellent for my family that still lives there, and i...

    your good (or not so good) customer service interactions of late

    Bought some Barnes ttsx and the ballistic tips were way off center and the edge on one side was crushed a bit. I emailed them asking if I should be concerned. They said they have tested them and they were still accurate but offered to send me another box anyway, even though i hadnt asked! Was...

    Best Boots for Western Hunting?

    You nailed it, imo. I thought for sure I wanted some Crispis after all the hype. Tried em on, completely wrong for my foot shape. Put on some Lowas in the same price range, fit like a glove.

    If you were just starting out what pack would you buy?

    Whatever you do, don't cheap out. I tried that and was in tremendous pain when hauling meat. (Shot a muley 7 miles in and could barely walk when I got out, from the pain of a bad pack) I bought an exo and it had made a crazy amount of difference in my hunting experience. I have a bad low back...

    Would you stay in an air bnb with a non-vented propane heater?

    Kinda mixed feelings on this one... I used to feel good about bringing my little battery CO monitor with when hunting out of a trailer. It started going off in the night (propane heater was running) and my buddy and my brother didn't even Crack an eyelid or wake up when I opened the door to let...

    What did you do in the reloading room today?

    I've been dinking around with some 308. Recently picked up a sig cross for my wife, and it's been a real treat developing a hunting load for it.

    Supressors

    I've got the 30 cal cgs hyperion K, I run it on my 300 win mag and I love it. I just took it out coyote hunting on my ar and it was more than sufficient for my needs when suppressing my shots. Id start with the big, and see how badly you think you need the smaller one.

    Knife sharpener

    +1 this. I have had the hardest time keeping my blades sharp, until this. This thing makes me feel like a knife wizard.
