2023 spring turkey!
I got permission to Turkey hunt the farm behind my house this year. I wasn’t planning to hunt the PA opening morning (lazy), but spotted some birds working the fields in the light rain and steady breeze. I decided to grab my slate and the 12ga and see if I could sneak into the hedgerow that...- Mainer207

Gas mileage 3/4 ton gas burners
Work truck is a 2023 Chevy 6.6 with the single cab and 8’ bed…getting around 13 mpg but I’ve only had it a month so we’ll see. My other truck is a 2021 tundra getting 13 mpg. Love the 3/4 ton for pulling trailers…doesn’t get pushed around as much when braking and cornering.- Mainer207

Broadhead selection for the wife
Ironwill S100 is my suggestion. Easy tuning and in my experience they do great if you hit bone. That’s a pretty light arrow setup in my opinion, so I think a premium broadhead that can help penetration is a must. -
Mystery Ranch Pack - Awesome and AWESOME Customer Service!
A mouse ended up in my pack and chewed its way out. the zipper was shot but they repaired it for $60 and had it back to me in a month. Awesome customer service I just started to get the squeak now. It’s annoying but not a deal breaker.- Mainer207

Deer - lets see em
Arrowed my first archery buck. Public land in PA. Heavy quartering away shot at 33 yards…double lung and only a 40 yard track job. Couldn’t be happier! -
first archery kill jumped the string
I had a chance at my first ever archery buck last year. He came running right to 10 yards facing me and locked onto me in the tree when I drew back. After a minute at full draw he turned and went behind a tree. I let down and he stepped out on the other side of the tree at about 18 yards. I drew... -
Schnees customer service
I’ve done dozens of small creek crossings to nearly the top of mine and never had wet feet. I wouldn’t say I’m particularly good about maintenance (oiled them once) and they’ve still held the waterproofing for three years.- Mainer207

Dogs are Hunting Partners - Let's see 'em
This is Rusty. Our two year old English lab. She’s had some ACL issues in her young life, but she’s my side kick on the job site and on the couch.- Mainer207

Hunting near a bedding area? Ground Blind or Saddle?
I would stay out of there until the morning of. Go in early and setup either the saddle or a hang on and hunt. Idea being that you’ll catch them before they get to the bed. If it’s going to be a spot you want to hunt repeatedly for the season I’d probably lean toward the hang on and leave it up... -
Truck bed camp.
Haven’t seen many spiders but I did have some mice in there at one point.- Mainer207

Truck bed camp.
Nice system. I just redid mine to accommodate work and play. I even included the yeti sticker so that I could be part of the club- Mainer207

Save Points or Go For It
Appreciate this a lot. With the potential 90/10 I’m thinking it’d be wise to start to focus on getting these Wyoming hunts in. I’d definitely like to do antelope next year and maybe use the time out there to scout some potential deer spots for the following year. As for elk, I’d love to do an... -
Saddle hunting??? Talk me into it.
I’m trying one this year. Thethrd phantom with the XL platform. A lot of my hunts are 2-4 miles from the truck, so carrying even my lightest millennium hang-on can be a pain. I think if you can get in a tree with some limbs to lean on occasionally it will be very comfortable. I mostly stand... -
I need tires, what's the recommendation?
I like my KO2s on my tundra. Theyre good on the highway and solid off-road. Haven’t gotten into anything crazy but they perform well in snow storms, on service roads, and have held up to riding over shale. Like any tire, they have their limitations (Ice)- Mainer207
