    Here’s to the $43 cooler!

    The last few seasons I have been traveling with at least one cheap Coleman cooler with wheels as one of my checked bags. I put a duffel in the bottom and fill it with clothes and gear. I then tie mule tape around it so it can’t come open and check it as a bag. It is exactly 61” and the airline...

    Best socks I have ever worn

    Let me start by saying I'm not sponsored by this company and get no kickbacks. But if you have been searching for a new boot sock you should check out Willowace Alpaca socks. They are darn good. I have the compression socks (only available sometimes it seems) and the new thicker boot socks...

    What am I missing UTV vs. Jeep

    I used to own a Wrangler and now own a Tundra 4x4 (which I love). I also have a Honda Pioneer 700-4 to use around our property. I have been thinking of getting a new UTV with windows/air/heat, etc. but when I look at the price I'm thinking I could get an older jeep for cheaper, have heat and...

    When will we know Idaho general tag results?

    I know it’s the first year but figured someone might have some inside info.

    Bitterroot Turkeys

    I know it’s fall and I’m supposed to be thinking about elk…and I am…but I’d like to get a Merriams for Thanksgiving with my bow this fall. Who on here has a back yard full that wouldn’t mind me sitting behind a hay bale and shooting one. Don’t hold out on me now, dig deep. Seriously though PM...

    Murderous Speedgoat!

    Saw something I didn’t really think happened yesterday. Watched a buck pronghorn kill a smaller buck. I guess I knew it happened from time to time but dang that was crazy. Gored in the guts and died fairly quickly.

    8yo first whitetail

    Didn’t want to take over the other thread but my son kept his banner year rolling the past couple weeks with his first whitetail on KY archery opener on 9/6 and his first doves last night with his Pappy (my Dad). He is having a pretty good year so far, first Turkey, first Blesbuck and First...

    Let’s talk about your shot process…

    While I was in Africa I had an opportunity to shoot a lot at animals. Just not something we really get here in the states. One thing I noticed is that the more excited I get the larger an area I aim at. I am very robotic about my draw and setting anchor points but I feel like I am worse about...

    Semi-Live South Africa Plains Game (mostly archery) with the family

    Will use this thread to post Pics and stories as I experience my first African hunting experience. Hoping to get a good Kudu, Gemsbok and Red Hartebeest with my bow. Excited to see my son get a warthog and likely an impala and my wife wants to kill a Zebra. Should be a blast! Tag along if you...

    Gun for an 8 year old.

    Got my son. Ruger American Gen 2 in 300 Blackout for his KY stand gun. Almost silent with my can on it. Trying to think what a good gun would be for him to shoot at a little longer distance (200 max) thinking 6mm Creed (since my Dad has one already) any opinions on a good gun that could go out...

    People shooting sheep/moose, etc and going back to claim deadheads?

    Do you ever get the feeling that people are shooting animals and going back a year later to claim they found a “dead head”? I saw a video the other day where a guy went looking for desert sheep dead heads and magically found one day one. Have seen the same with monster elk and deer. Not saying...

    Southern NM shameless information request

    I drew a Dec. rifle whitetail tag for Unit XX. Looking at the unit on OnX the road situation looks rough, tons of public but a lot of the roads say "private road" leading in. Hoping someone on here has some info and would be willing to have a conversation either via phone or PM. I likely...

    The Muddy Elk - kids hunting book

    Just finished this book with my 8 year old. We took turns reading a page at a time. Really darn good. Has actual hunting lessons (checking the wind, etc) and a good story of a boy and his Dad on an archery elk trip. Worth the $12 to read with your kid. Next up Monster Mule Deer from the same...

    Adding an Arca Rail and a spartan gunsmith adapter...am I overthinking this?

    Really interested in getting a small/light Arca rail near the balance point of my Christensen Ridgeline FFT to allow me to attach to a tripod. I'd also like to add a Spartan gunsmith stud in the stock as the sling stud adapter is garbage and moves even with double sided tape. The idea of...

    Texas Axis meat hunt - Suggestions needed

    My Dad and I both have Alpha Gal, or the Red Meat Allergy from tick bites. I am in year 4 with it and while I still can't eat beef or pork (without a trip to the hospital) I do have good luck with wild meat if I keep it within reason. I'd like to find a place that I can kill several Axis does...

    Swaro Z5 3.5-18 Scope and Talley rings for rem 700 long action (with anti-cant indicator) - $1350 TYD

    Like the subject says. Fantastic scope just going a different direction. Ultra lightweight and everything you’d expect from a Swaro. Has the 4w retical. Used 2 seasons. If you'll click on the attached pic a second picture will open, no idea why it won't show a preview of it. Capped Windage...

    Who is funding the fight against hunting? Well you are of course…

    Was in the shower pondering life, reading the ingredients on the shampoo when I saw a “PETA - Cruelty Free” stamp on my wife’s shampoo. I checked the other suave product and it had it too. No way PETA is letting them use their trademark for free, so this shampoo is funding probably the largest...

    300 Blackout Bolt action, suppressed. Good short range stand gun for my wife/kid?

    Will be almost completely silent. No recoil, shots 50 yards or less. Cheap Ruger with threaded barrel for like $599. Am I missing something?

    Can we talk about Caribou game bags?

    I will admit that I have only ever owned one set of game bags. But this one ‘wapiti’ set of game bags has hauled out no less than 20 animals and comes back ready to roll after a simple rinse/wash. Darn good investment, bulletproof.
