    Base camp tent

    For as often as I will be using it no. I don’t want to spend 1,200-1,500 on a tent I use once or twice a year.

    Base camp tent

    Looking into getting a base camp/hot tent for at least 4 people so looking at something with a range of 6-8 people. I have a seek outside cimmaron but would like to have a base camp/wall tent type of tent to set up for a central location when I take the kids with more so they have a little more...

    What a clown

    Couldn't agree more.

    New pack recommendations

    Thanks for all of the input. I'm still researching and debating on which one to buy. I will probably end up getting one in the next few months so that way I can use it all fall and this hunting season to see how it does before going out west next fall.

    Bowhunting whitetails from the ground

    The first whitetail I harvested with my bow was from the ground. A doe came from west to east following a trail then decided to cut down the hill some and came into a small draw and I was along the trail about 15 yards from the top of the hill. As soon as she came into view at around 25 yards, I...

    Will white tail bucks come to a rattle in early December

    In my experience in the east, that late in season doesn't usually go well with rattling. They're usually in the harder to find places and trying to recover from chasing the does. In WV we usually only have a couple of 3-4 day doe seasons after the initial two week buck season for gun and archery...

    What a clown

    I'm not much on following people's social stuff because I don't have the time honestly or care what they are doing but the hunting influencer thing for the majority of the crowd is not worth wasting the ten minutes of time it takes to watch a video for something fake or staged. I enjoy watching...

    What a clown

    What an idiot. I don't like coyotes as much as the next guy but probably not the thing to do especially to record it for the world to see. Too bad the coyote didn't end up biting him while he was doing what he was doing.

    college baseball

    WVU sports are what get some people through the week after working 70 hour work weeks. Not to mention you can see a person with a WV shirt in another country or another state and become best friends on site or the opposite effect if they are wearing something with Marshall on it. I was in my...

    college baseball

    West Virgina always gets the cold shoulder in every sport and every aspect for that matter. We can finally get some recognition somewhere. Those games were great games and that closing pitcher for Kentucky was pretty good.

    college baseball

    I completely agree with this. I'm a big baseball fan, whether it's MLB or college but the college games are some of the most intense, passion filled games you will ever see. Guys pitching 130 pitches one day and coming in and throwing another inning the next, is nothing but heart and love for...

    Hunting trips and hunting partners

    Preach sir. I've told her the same thing you mentioned in the first comment. I have experience from camping, hiking, hunting and being in the Marine Corps so I've certainly been sent to more dangerous places. Summer is coming so she will have time off from being a teacher so we can do some more...

    Hunting trips and hunting partners

    That is a very good way of describing and I couldn't agree more. Opens the eyes of both parties.

    Hunting trips and hunting partners

    I don’t think I would either because you just go out there and you’re striving to stay there and just stay without any particular idea of how long. You would have to set little mini goals, jobs to occupy time. I would miss my kids and wife too much and being in the military has taught me to...

    Hunting trips and hunting partners

    I’ve got some work to do on the wife. Maybe it will be one those don’t ask for permission just ask for forgiveness lol. I don’t know her deal is with it.

    Hunting trips and hunting partners

    It is frustrating to say the least. I would love to go elk hunting every year but can’t find someone to go every year. My oldest will be hitting the teenage years here in the next year or two so he may be it while I have him at home still.

    Hunting trips and hunting partners

    My hunting partner at the time was one of those where we would bounce ideas off each other and if it turned out my idea worked and his didn’t he would get annoyed at least on this trip it did. He was also short on patience when we would find a spot then say I don’t think we’re going to be...

    Hunting trips and hunting partners

    I bought a zoleo last year and I have one of the iphones with the sat texting. At the time on my first trip we did not have a satellite communicator, hence another reason for me personally to no longer hunt with the individual I went hunting with. He was wanting to go camp by a big lake that was...

    Hunting trips and hunting partners

    I enjoy going solo when I go hunting locally, I've never done it out of state but the bigger issue is the wife doesn't want me going by myself. That is my issue. Understandable to an extent. She gets worried when I go on our land because she worries about something happening to me. Maybe I just...

    Hunting trips and hunting partners

    Wanted to ask other hunt talkers how often they plan out of state hunting trips and how many go by themselves/with a partner/as a group. I live in WV and have been trying to plan on going elk hunting in the west every two years. Went in 2024 and came home with the tag still in my pocket, but...
