    OnX Connected Hunting Optics a step too far

    This! This is exactly what I do after the shot. Drop a waypoint where I took the shot, drop a pin where the animal was standing and turn on the waypoint radius with the distance from my rangefinder. This technique provides great confidence to locate the start of the blood trail. Much better...

    Which western states have been disproportionately good to you in drawing tags?

    My shout-out goes to Wyoming. I have been fortunate enough to draw some tags in Wyoming that have provided some outstanding hunting adventures for elk and antelope. Thank you, Wyoming, for providing great opportunities for this NR hunter!

    Best whitetail state

Last November I killed a bull elk solo, diy, public land at the age of 64. Not planning to...

    X-Country Trailer tips

    Thank you for a great list. I have these items rolling around in my mind but now I see the value of a written checklist. I carry a tool bag that allows me to handle just about anything that happens but I need to up my game with wiring, connectors, crimping etc.
