    How things have changed, looking at new bows

    There were two bow shops 30 minutes away. Looks like Peoria is the closest now but didn’t think they sold Mathews when I was on Presley’s site. Thanks for your info. I’m between those or even v3x. I don’t have to have the newest model just looking to upgrade.

    Who regularly hunts deer with a shotgun?

    Dead on. If you can shoot slugs or a 3 1/2 mag out of a Moss 500 you can shoot anything! I was a kid at the time and still remember my shoulder being sore. I also shoot the 220. I’ve preferred the the performance of the Accubond over sst but shoots both well. Really like the accu trigger when...

    Annual elk rifle thread

    Right as the “pandemic” started I got a great deal on a Christensen Ridgeline in 300 short mag before a Montana trip. Accurate with 180g Noslers. If anyone shoots any other load thru a Ridgline let me know.

    High elevation appetite

    I drink a lot of water and I’ll pack an extra plastic water bottle in my pack I use for mixing supplements since I won’t eat much. For me I try to go out a couple days early and on day 3 I think you can really feel that your body has adjusted

    Multiple Species Goose Spreads

    Depending on time of year but late season I think your big white snow decoys attract birds. We’ve always set our Canada decoys where we wanted them to finish. Canada usually land with the Canada decoys or outside edge of the snows it seems. When it comes to duck we would put a few decoys out but...
