    Eastern black bears

    @AssawomanGunsmith how'd it go for you? Acorns everywhere, figure could have had it go either way.

    Pennsylvania Elk Tags

    Between that and the access you'd almost be foolish to *not* do it guided, have fun

    Eastern black bears

    Good luck! Given the way they set the rules up, I'm firmly in the camp of "any bear is a trophy" for that hunt.

    Eastern black bears

    Really depends on what you're looking to do. I hunted that tag a few years back and focused on Washington and Frederick counties just trying to avoid folks. When I talked to the biologist he encouraged me to focus on hickories for the most part, with poke a close second. I hunted the whole...

    Best home security cameras without subscription, Experts recommendations to Choose

    We've used Eufy and they've been solid. My only complaint about security cams is that they don't actually deter junkies any more because cameras are everywhere, which means that you get the notification when they're trying to break in and you're three hours away and there's nothing you can...

    Hairy Beasts and Smell Korns

    Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Shoulder mounts, half mounts and full mounts all take up significantly more space and I've seen plenty that don't do the animal any justice. Part of what I love about the euro mount is that it isn't trying to look like what the animal looked like in life. It...

    Public Lands Bills in Congress

    https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/congress-passes-explore-act/ I couldn't find a thread on this anywhere yet, but one of the bullets makes it look like it'll be easier for the FT crew to do their filming. I know they've done an absolute bang-up job following the rules, even to the point...

    Would you eat a CWD-positive animal?

    That NIH release is some of the best news I've seen about CWD in a long time. As much of a fuss gets raised about every fake news story regarding "zombie deer", I'm disappointed this didn't get more coverage when it came out more than six months ago. As to the discussion, to this date my wife...

    Bury Me In The Mackenzie Mountains

    Really amazing storytelling. Thank you. One of the Sheep Societies had a similar hunt they were raffling off that closed this week. I did the math on everything it didn't include and quickly realized the "free" hunt would still likely top 20k. I need to do a better job of putting money aside so...

    Bear calls: Electronic or hand-held?

    I've used a rabbit in distress call but without much effect (at least as I could make out)

    CVA ramrod guide clips and loading tips

    I only run the ramrod. I haven't had an issue yet but I run pretty standard projectiles.

    How to start

    Any recommendation on which is a more useful learning experience as far as applying the knowledge to a 1st rifle between an archery tag or a 2nd/3rd rifle?

    How to start

    So I have some stupid questions (insert "there are no stupid questions, only stupid people"). How do you start figuring out where you're going to apply? I have 5 elk points in CO and there's a chance my family circumstances might let me actually go on my first elk hunt either this year or next...

    Are you doing your sewing by hand or do you have a machine?

    Can we just put HuntTalk forums behind a login?

    I'm in the same boat, not that it really matters. Odds are low I'd ever get to take advantage of that information anyway...
