    Anyone else getting antsy?

    I think I'm 0/13 on draw apps. At this point I'm getting antsy for some cooler weather. This summers Oklahoma heat has been quite oppressive. Still have a few hunts planned though.

    Sofrin/Peax headlamps

    Last year I spent around $80 on a Fenix. Pretty much failed me on my Colorado elk hunt. Returned the Fenix to Scheels and bought a sofrin off Amazon. Don't remember the model number. Worked for a while but it also failed. It won't charge at all. So not sure what is next. Maybe it's coincidence I...

    Boot delima

    Just an update on boot journey. Monday I went to Scheels near by. Scheels now carry Schnees. I tried the timberline boot on but it seems to be very similar to the Crispis I already have. By that I mean just a bit of walking around and tinkering with the toe of the boots I find same results. Toe...

    Things we take for granted

    That reminds me of when I was a teenager in the 90's. Brother and I would come home and say "what's to eat, I'm starving". Dad would let us know "you might be hungry but your not starving". My dad was stationed in Ethiopia while his brother was serving in Vietnam. Starvation was real in Africa...

    Boot delima

    That's the problem, I don't feel I should have to do a lot of modifications if I'm spending over $400 on boots. I didn't trim the insoles for my boots, I just let the toes fold up to add some cushion. I don't think I should need to do that on expensive boots. Yes I can relate to having wrecked...

    Boot delima

    I do hunt the mountains for elk so I like the durability of the stiff boots. My feet and ankles seem more vulnerable in hikers.

    Boot delima

    I live in Oklahoma so I don't get to go to several different stores to try on different boots. Scheels is the closest store that has good boots. Scheels carries Crispi, Kenetrek, Hoffman, Zamberlain. Last year I bought a pair of Crispi West River insulated boots. I am just not fully satisfied...

    Desert Bighorn Ram hunt,,

    Desert rams are cool and all but no way in the world I would trade any and all hunts the rest of my life to hunt one. Not even a world record. I just enjoy hunting to much.

    Desert Bighorn Ram hunt,,

    How in the world did you kill that ram without $1k worth of "technical gear" clothing like kuiu or sitka? Just kidding, awesome ram.
