I have this tent in a 3P I believe. It has served me well. Myself and huntn bud have spent a week in it at a time, even in a snowstorm, but neither are big guys. 2 grown daughters and I slept in it 2 nights and stayed warm due to tight fit! Lightweight and just big enough.
Good shooting Little Lady! And good parenting Dad and all of you other parents that are taking your kids out. I took mine a lot when they were young like that and I'm very blessed to still have one that still does it at age 30. She says our rifle mule deer hunt is her favorite week of the...
I've been a GM guy my whole life, but we have 3 duramax 3/4 tons (2016-2019) in the family and 2/3 have had repetitive and expensive issues with the DEF systems. If you get or have one my non-professional opinion is keep the DEF tank over half full all the time. Several problems with the DEF...
10-20' off the ground makes very little difference in scent control. They will still smell you if they get downwind at all. When one doe gets down wind she will tell the entire section that you are there by stomping and blowing like crazy. Definetly dont try to go in there in the dark for your...
Undisturbed WT deer will have a pattern, bed to food in the evening, food to bed in AM. But, during the rut, like now, all bets are off. Big bucks are getting killed mid day. Generally the thicker less disturbed ground becomes their bedding area, but they can and do bed anywhere, even 20 yards...
Good luck tomorrow Tony and kids! Try to put the blinders on and just do your thing in your little world. If it's totally unsafe, then just explain to the kids why they cant go, better to live to see other hunts. Best wishes gang!!
I admire her patience and determination. Thats tough, I wudda sent one by now I'm sure. My buddy always says, in a real slow way,... the only way to get good at killn deer,....is to kill a lot of emm...
Old guy struggling loading pics - hahaha - anyway, ya we removed the seats, barely got two cots on the floor and rolled the tarp over top of us. the seats on the sides helped give us some height and breathing room. I used two 5 pound bags of lead shot to tie to the sides of the tarp to keep it...
This was a new adventure for us. The deer didn’t cooperate but the camp worked out pretty well. Just had to hunt from the truck on day 1 &2 when the wind was 30-40 mph.
I second the suggestion of Acetazolimide. I get it before any trips over 10k. You start a couple days before, and continue a couple days after you get down. It helped me a lot! it does make you have to and want to drink more water, and it also makes a soda or beer takes terrible. (carbonated...
