    What do yall think of the new Garmin Sight Ethical?

    I missed the other thread Oh so sorry for speaking out of turn. However I was wanting to debate ethics and tech in hunting more than anything. Its a good conversation to me and others so if it bores you move on. You wllm1313 bring up a great point increasing the harvest of archers can...

    Apparently every unit everywhere sucks

    Here aerial surveys are out due to trees and money. On my place I do camera surveys they work well enough but deer roam a good bit. Ill see if I can share some collar data from a study we are working on with whitetails and traveling patters. Dont hold your breath tho. All the data we can get...

    Wyoming Unit 38 Type 9 plus Cutthroat Trout

    I called the biologist there as I was looking at that unit. You better have some points or a back up plan. like a 2% draw odd but she said it is a great unit and its actually harder to draw T9 than rifle. Good luck though.

    Apparently every unit everywhere sucks

    Yea I work back east in whitetail country. Totally different game here, most people here do not hunt public land, because there is very little. To be honest I can count on both hands haw many days I have hunted public land here. I hunted somewhat public land in Cali, but it was a Military...

    Apparently every unit everywhere sucks

    I had to sleep on this because its so upsetting. I am actually a state biologist, just not out west. One thing that just drives us crazy, disappoints us, and makes our job so hard when managing public land (which I do), is when people are not being honest with reporting. You as a hunter will...

    What do yall think of the new Garmin Sight Ethical?

    Stirring the pot a bit. What are thoughts on the new garmin sight with range finder? Def maximizes lethality IMO. Lets not consider price because its outrageous as far as my tiny budget is concerned. But if it was the cost of a good archery sight and range finder say 400 bucks would you buy...

    String Recommendation?

    Also these damn Vapor trials are impossible to clock my peep. I finally gave up and put on one with the rubber tube which I hate hate hate.

    String Recommendation?

    Cant tell you what works but I know my Mathews Z7X dropped speed significantly with a vapor trail string and it will be the last one I will ever buy. I cant remember exact numbers but for sure it was shooting 310 rigged up and with new Vapors it went down to 270 ish. I want to say 268 but its...

    Apparently every unit everywhere sucks

    I really appreciate the positivist glad I am not alone in getting frustrated in reading nothing but bad about all units, but like many have said lots of ppl play down their spots and that makes perfect sense.

    Apparently every unit everywhere sucks

    Lot of posativity realy helps. Was not looking for a pitty spot, and prob would not believe ya anyway. I was suspecting some over hyping of negatives to keep ppl away. I got a plan i believe and gonna disregard any forum coment regarding a unit being shitty. Gonna base my units on draw odds...

    Apparently every unit everywhere sucks

    Getting frustrated. Been researching Wyoming and Colorado mostly Wyoming lately trying to find a place to apply but as j dig every place end with it sucking and being a pumpkin patch. I'm okay with hunters but I do want to see critters. I don't know. Maybe be best to give up on my first elk...

    Southern white tail hunter goes West. But...have to make compromises on gear.Help

    I am gonna play with the hammock before dedicating more than 25$ to it. If nothing else it's something light to pack around in case a nap is needed. I'm starting to think two vestibules may be the way to go. I'm really liking the mystery ranch terraplane 82L but it's 400$. Duno may still go...
