Eastern SD-Sharptail?
How far west into South Dakota does a guy need to go before finding decent sharpie area? I live in SW MN, so I can get to Chamberlain in about 4 hours, which seems to be a good area. In addition to that, how does hunting get in the late season? Is it worth planning a trip in November/December...- cwitherow

Theron out...who is next?
With Theron being out of business, which binoculars are going to take the new favorite spot in this price point? The Questas got such high praise on this forum, I'm kicking myself for not upgrading when I had the chance. -
Green cattails camo
Currently have waterfowl layers in Realtree Max-5. With it being so warm, the cattails are still very green and I feel like I still stick out even when I tuck myself in them. Does anyone use an alternative pattern when the environment is still so green? Hunting in marsh, standing in water about...- cwitherow

Mojo placement in spread
Minnesota recently allowed the use of motorized decoys. When you put out your spread of decoys, where do you put your spinner decoy? A few points of clarification: I hunt sloughs with cattails. Water is typically waist deep. I try to set up crossing shots if I can. I have a dozen mallard...- cwitherow

Fly fishing-flashy lure?
The state park down the road from me confirmed they will be stocking the river with brown trout again this year. He said most people will use traditional tackle with a small spinner for the first 7-10 days until the fish figure it out. He emphasized the "flash" that the fish are attracted to...- cwitherow

Does anyone have any tips for tournament fishing, specifically walleye? I've done a few walleye leagues but never a tournament. Kicker...It is far enough I don't think I'll be able to pre-fish :oops:- cwitherow

Mackinac Island
Me and my fiancé finally chose a honeymoon destination after our wedding this summer. We will be driving up and spending a few nights on Mackinac Island. Any recommendations on food and/or activities? We (I) also want to go on a fishing charter, so any recommendations for that are also appreciated.- cwitherow

Coffee at home
I have recently gotten into brewing my own coffee. I started experimenting with a french press, but have lately been using an aeropress. I currently still use store bought, and am trying different things to see what flavors and roasts I like. Anyone else gone down this rabbit hole before?- cwitherow

Ice fishing newbie
As the title suggests, I am a complete ice fishing newbie. I spend a lot of time on the water in the summer and early fall, but I have never gone ice fishing. I was recently given an old hand auger, which was the "big ticket" item that prevented me from going. He said if I wasn't planning on...- cwitherow

Online course
Can anyone recommend an online wilderness first aid course? Other online courses you’ve found useful would also be helpful. While an in-person class would be ideal, I’d like to do some online work as sort of a primer.- cwitherow

Big Agnes zipper question
I like the idea of the Big Agnes Anvil Horn 15 with the pad sleeve. I currently have a Kelty Cosmic 20 and the warmth is good, but I constantly will fall off the pad. I noticed they offer a right and left zipper. Is that if you are looking down at the bag or if you are laying in it? Any insight...- cwitherow

4th Quarter
Having only 2 and a half days to hunt, there is always pressure to get it done. My deer camp has a family history here dating back to the 50's. Sitting around the table listening to stories of the "old days" when deer were scarce, and they were lucky to get one for the group. Hearing these... -
Leupold question
I currently have a VX-Freedom 4-12x40 30mm with side focus. While it’s a fine scope, I’m just not completely happy with it. I feel at first light/last light it isn’t as clear as other scopes I’ve used (old vortex diamondback HD that had a 44mm objective). I have it on my 30-06, which is my... -
Binocular doubler and upgrade question
Are these a "viable" alternative to a spotting scope for occasional use? From a budget perspective, spotting scopes can be quite pricey. For the amount and reasons I would use it, I would rather upgrade my binos to a quality 8x and get one of these. I really like 8x's for the hunting I do... -
Discouraged and weather
Just got back from our Wyoming trip. We hunted a new unit this time, after being unsuccessful in 2018, and on the drive out had high hopes. When we arrived at around 8am (drove through the night), it was like we were at a state park campground. There were RV's parked every quarter mile, with...
