    Buy a new 44 Magnum (Which would you buy?)

    I voted either S&W or Ruger. Probably would go with one of the 629 models as they're all lighter than the Ruger. Another option might be the S&W Model 69 but you lose a round.

    Nope smokers not allowed

    At least once a year here. When I worked in the field earlier in my career it was as many as 6 times a year.

    Banquet guns

    I attend multiple banquets each year and I recently joined the committee for our local NWTF chapter so I'm getting to see all this as we start planning for our banquet this year. A lot of it is catering to the crowd you get at your event. I like higher end guns, but having to sell chances at...

    Kuiu

    Yeah.... if Kuiu was that cheap everyone would be using it. That's a scam.

    7mm WSM Ammo

    5 boxes of Federal 7mm WSM ammo; bought this as I was planning to have a rifle rebarreled but then ended up just going PRC. $225 shipped. I have Venmo but would prefer old school payment methods.

    Pennsylvania Red Tag Program

    And I'm sure Game Commission hands that many out with the thought that a fraction of them will get used. Just checking a couple zones in the state, antlerless harvest averages around 30%. I would say hunters in that area are much more hesitant or probably refuse to shoot does, so that factors...

    Pennsylvania Red Tag Program

    Seems like a lot of tags for an area of PA not known to have a lot of deer. By far, that hunting zone has the lowest allocation of antlerless tags each year.

    Living with "Failure"

    Good writeup and thanks for sharing. Only thing I would say is that in the future I'd still buy the OTC bull tag even if you end up eating it, only because if the opportunity presents itself you'll be kicking yourself for NOT buying one. Ask me how I know on that! As a resident it's relatively...

    How do you interpret this?

    NY has CO beat, EVERY gun left in a vehicle unattended needs to be in a locked fire and tamper proof hard case.

    3/4 ton 4x4 recommendations

    This. What does the sticker on your drivers door of your current Ford say? Sounds like a 3/4 ton would be overkill for what you need, especially to get the diesel.

    How does one get involved with a hunting club/cabin?

    I’d guess most of those hunting clubs are friends and/or family and you’d need to know someone already in the club to get an invite. I have a friend in Montoursville whose father in law belongs to a club and thats how he got an invite. Check out the PA Game Commission mapping website, they mark...

    Eastern black bears

    Swampy areas or thick cover. Are there any farms nearby? They could be hitting cornfields or other crops.

    Cold Hunt, Need Help With My Layers

    I realize everyone is different with comfort in the cold but I think you’re going to be overdressed with all those layers. I hunt the same area in PA and over the border in NY and I’ve never needed that much insulation to stay warm multiple hours on stand, especially if I move every couple...
