    Who’s building arrows yet?

    So I decided to try the new Nexxus infinity arrows in a 300 spine, after I could not get my hands on the Axis 4mm that I really wanted. To say I am disappointed would be putting it mildly. The nocks have been loosing their shape rapidly and the tolerances on the half-out inserts must be pretty...

    Grim Reaper Broadheads

    Not to throw a wrench in the works here but what about "hybrids?" I was skeptical of them ,but last year I took a quartering away shot on a black bear with an ultraviolet from Afflictor, passed clear through and left a blood trail that looked like someone took red marking paint between the point...

    How accurate is OnX?

    Responding to OP. I would say that the mapping is highly accurate, but that is going to depend on where you live. I live in Alaska, relatively few property lines to keep in mind. However, have used onX in NE,MT,MI, CO, and WY as well and have yet to be led astray as far as using the overlays on...

    Soups/stews

    Love me some salmon chowder. I'll be making kind of a seafood pho over Christmas making seafood stock from prawn and crab shells excited to see how that comes out. Also, I bet if you subbed the bacon for prosciutto it could be a game changer for the chowder.

    Nebraska OTC Archery Antelope

    Hey All. Been a while since the hunt in NE. Been chasing moose and blacktail in AK since I got back and flat out forgot to post about our antelope trip. To make it short, we didn't harvest a speed goat. However, we did get within 100 yards of a nice buck and I'm calling that a success for the...

    Nebraska OTC Archery Antelope

    Thanks for the info, I appreciate it! It sounds similar to the barren ground caribou archery hunting I have done, where you see way more animals than you can go after. I don't usually get discouraged by the blown stalk or ones that just come up short. I just like having the interactions and...

    Nebraska OTC Archery Antelope

    Hey All First post. So, I bought a pickup in MI this winter because I had family there to look at it prior, however I live in AK. Pre-COVID plan was to drive through Canada to Fairbanks to pick up the GF and take her to the north slope for a caribou hunt, this would have been her first real...
