Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down
I had one and it was one of those rifles that I sold almost as quick as I bought it. Traded it in for a Seekins. -
Backcountry communication
Very interested to see how this satellite texting feature will turn out, I'm stuck between getting a zoleo or upgrading my phone. I need to upgrade my phone anyways but I'm not sure I want to rely solely on my phone for an emergency situation. I also find it hard to pay for the inreach vs zoleo.- WVmike

Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down
We are in the process of deciding on what stock to use. I initially thought of an HS precision but he said he wants something with a detachable magazine which they have but the bottom metal by itself is almost $300 not including the stock. I'm stuck between a McMillan Game Warden 2.0/Game Scout... -
Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down
I messaged p_ham for suggestions and to gather some info. Seems like he does some great work. I will keep him in mind for sure. -
Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down
Letting him pick his own was kind of where we were initially. He is only 10 so he was kind of wanting to pick things that looked cool and I had to nudge him in a direction that would make sense whether it was the quality of rifle, barrel, trigger etc. We had sorted through multiple brands from... -
New Bow or Not?
I bought a Mathews Z7 from my buddy a handful of years ago as he bought the newest bow they released and it suits me just fine. I also have been raised on rifle hunting during the majority of my life and don't have near as much experience with archery as I do rifle but dropping on $1,000+ on a... -
Nice rifle for a teenager to pass down
After doing some research and going through my gun cabinet, I think I'm going to go down the road of switching out some components on my Remington 700 ADL .308 for something suited for my son. I've shot multiple deer with it but after buying a Seekins 7mm Rem Mag, I have been primarily using it... -
Spotting Scope Recommendations
I'm learning it can be expensive, that's why I can only afford to go every other year instead of every year. -
Quick Release Rifle Bearer
I use the Kifaru universal also and it works well. No issues with bino harness but I don't have a whole backpack on my chest either lol- WVmike

Spotting Scope Recommendations
Instead of the spotter, I'm going to upgrade my binos and pick up a night stalker tripod. I'm between the leupold BX-2 Alpine 10x50 or bigger or something from Maven. No experience with Maven so we will see. Definitely need something for elk hunting, probably could get away with what I have now... -
Seek outside guardian
Have a Seek Outside Cimmaron and a lite outdoors cylinder stove which works great but I’m looking to get another tent in the 2 person variety. I came across the the guardian 2 and I’m stuck between it and the Viam Bridger which are the basically the same except the Viam comes with a nest and is...- WVmike

Heat source options for tent camping.
Used a lite outdoors 18 inch titanium stove last year with the tipi tent in second season rifle in Colorado last year and it was the difference between being absolutely miserable to being tolerable when sleeping. Every few hours we would have to add wood which was a pain but it's not like the...- WVmike

Everyone’s Saying the Same Thing After Scientists 'Resurrect' the Dire Wolf
This would be good for any ungulates. Probably not as flashy or not enough monetary gains as resurrecting a species. The world we live in is crazy.- WVmike

A bigger wolf that will have even more affect on wildlife populations. The next time I go elk hunting in colorado, I'll be site seeing and counting the number of elk, deer carcasses along the way.- WVmike
