    Broke out the recurve

    What's everyone's preferred broadheads? I have been using the original wensel woodsman 3 blade but I'm not getting them as sharp as I want them to be. I am thinking about either the zwickey eskimo 2 blade or the magnus stingers with the bleeders, next.

    Bye Bye Hoyt

    What are your 2026 Outdoor Plans

    Looking more and more so like I won't be putting in for Wyoming elk this year. Still building points. Drew a region genenral tag last year on Wyoming deer, so I'm back to zero points. Still thinking about putting in for another region tag that has some chance in the random draw at zero...

    Retire early to hunt more?

    I really enjoyed the first half of this thread reading stories of those who have been able to retire early to hunt, fish, and enjoy the outdoors more. I have been a long time reader and have just today decided to become a contributing member of this forum. The idea of retiring early to enjoy...
