    New guy here from Alabama

    Yessir, I love hunting/hiking around Dugger Mtn. I have seen an abundance of turkey, coyote, and deer sign, but have not sealed the deal on anything yet. Weather has been brutal.

    $200 binos for my daughter

    I looked through some Hawke bino's at this past summers expo. I was pretty impressed. I own Vortex Viper HD 10x42's and thought all the Hawkes I looked through were solid, competitive options. If you (and your daughter) are not opposed to something used, you can generally get serious discounts...

    New guy here from Alabama

    Funny you mention the tallest mountain in AL. I like to spend my time on the second highest mountain in AL just down the road a little way. Welcome to the community! Maybe I'll see you at Choccolocco this season.

    Two party system: a necessary evil?

    Here is my opinion as a married man with children who loves to spend time in the woods. You can decide if it is worth anything. I had a similar issue. Our white-tail rut is around the week of Christmas / New Years. Due to several unique factors, we wind up going to 7 - 10 Christmas's every...

    Trophy Ridge V-Max Rest - Allen Key Size

    Does anyone know what size allen key is needed for the trophy ridge v-max rest adjustment? The larger key needed is a 5/32 which unlocks the adjustment, but I cannot figure out what size for the smaller one. I asked trophy ridge but they just told me what size for the locking bolt and did not...

    Anyone else have a buddy bail at the last minute? (CO Archery Elk 2024)

    It has been said by others, but I just start everything as a solo trip so no problems can arise from someone changing the plans on me. That goes for the location, the species, the timing, the gear, the food, etc. Once I get everything mapped out, I may look at the trip and think "so and so would...

    Changing Sights on a Bow

    Tried walk back tuning and it fixed everything. Point of impact is identical now between the BH and FP. Wish I had asked sooner! I still have to go buy a new target, arrows, and some broadheads but I can live with that now that I know it’s the last time I’ll buy them for a while. I appreciate...

    Changing Sights on a Bow

    Is that something a pro shop would assist with?

    Changing Sights on a Bow

    Has anyone ever tried swapping back and forth between two sights on the same bow? One being sighted in for broadheads and the other sighted in for field points? I have just recently switched my sight over to BH since hunting season starts in 2 weeks but would like to still have a way to shoot...

    Bear/White-Tail Bullet Selection

    Adding an update for anyone who may have future questions like I did. I took another trip to the range and decide to start with the Barnes 168 TTSX this hunting season. It is just noticeably and consistently more accurate than everything else I tried. My rifle just really seems to like this...

    Bear/White-Tail Bullet Selection

    Based on all the feedback it seems like the correct answer is to just pick whichever makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside and run it which definitely makes me feel better hearing that none of these are "wrong" options.. I have a box of each left over right now. I will probably just start with one...

    Bear/White-Tail Bullet Selection

    Any preference or pro's/con's for either of the 3?

    Bear/White-Tail Bullet Selection

    Partitions and Accubond are definitely a recurring theme on Rokslide. Any benefit to a Accubond over a Partition? and have you seen any difference between Federals Partition loading vs the Nosler Partition loading?

    Bear/White-Tail Bullet Selection

    I was listening to the Vortex Nation podcast where they had some guys from Barnes on. They gave a general summary saying that the TSX is good for 0-300 yards. TTSX lets you stretch out to about 500 yards. LRX extends past that. Of course all that depends on the caliber itself as well. I was...

    Bear/White-Tail Bullet Selection

    Definitely planning on a good bit of practice but you're definitely right. Cost just pile up when you start traveling out-of-state for these hunts!

    Bear/White-Tail Bullet Selection

    Gotcha. The main issues I read about with the ELD-X, and the main thing that has made me have caution in using it is I have seen reports about very little penetration and the very short ranges (50 yards and under) which would be a strong possibility for some of my hunts. Do you foresee any...

    Bear/White-Tail Bullet Selection

    Hoping some folks with more experience can chime in and help me make a final selection. I have been reviewing different ammunition types to decide what was the best fit for me and the situations I will be hunting over the next year. I will be taking 3 black bear hunts where shots realistically...

    Vasectomy

    Had mine done about 2 months ago so I'll just describe the start to finish. Called to schedule then met with a doctor who basically just asked: - Do you have kids? How many? Do you want more? Does your spouse want more? Are you sure? Is she sure? You can reverse it but it will cost some $$$...
