    Unit Ideas?

    My dad and I went on our first western hunt together in WY a few years back. He loved it while we were there, but slowly drifted away with other things in life. This past summer he had open heart surgery - and suddenly he's thinking about trying again. It will probably only be a 2020 hunt for...

    South Dakota Deer

    Planning on hunting the first few days of West River rifle season in a couple weeks. Looking forward to getting back out there. I know and am fully expecting it to be quite busy on opening weekend. But my question is - for those who have hunted it, how is the pressure the first few days after...

    SD Deer Hunt 2018

    Planning on bringing a buddy out to SD this upcoming fall. He's never been out west before, so we're trying for a mulie (although I don't think he'll pass up a nice whitetail - they're hard to get here in Maine!). We've been saving points for a few years and I have the unit we should be able...

    My Deer Season

    Going into the year, I honestly didn't hold onto a lot of hope. I worked quite a bit this summer, and between that, my kids, and buying/working on our new house I didn't have a lot of time to scout this summer. I didn't even get out at all for archery season. I slowed down in November, which...

    Hunting Camera

    Just curious as to what everyone uses as a 'hunting' camera. I have a DSLR that I love, and would bring it along on my hunts but I have too much invested in it to risk it getting damaged. And it would take up more space than I can handle. I have a smaller Canon Powershot I've been using...

    First elk hunt!

    Leaving tomorrow for my first elk and backcountry hunt! I'm beyond excited, been dreaming about doing this for a few years. Feeling pretty good about everything - fitness wise (we'll see how that goes - can only do so much living at 250 ft above sea level!), shooting, and all else. A lot of...

    Kuiu Bow Kit

    Just noticed Kuiu doesn't have this listed on their website anymore. I'm aware of other similar things, like the primos/cabelas version - I actually have the primos one (that I'd be willing to trade/sell), but it doesn't fit my bow very well and is more a pain instead of a benefit. I like the...

    2 birds with one...stone?

    I should start by saying I've always been really unlucky turkey hunting. Some of that luck was probably self-made, but I just felt like I could never catch a break. My first couple days were frustrating, as I ended up walking up on some birds on the roost, had other hunters shoot the birds I...

    FS: Badlands 2200

    Selling my Badlands 2200 pack. Great pack, I'm just looking for something with a bit more room. Pattern is Realtree AP. Pack has no stains, tears, or holes. The only issue is the strap that connects the bottom of the batwing to the belt broke off. Doesn't bother anything, just makes the...

    For Sale Badlands 2200

    Selling my Badlands 2200. Camo is Realtree APG. Pack is still in really good shape. No stains, burns, holes, or anything like that. Just changing packs to get more space. Only issue is one of the straps that connects the batwing to the belt broke. Hasn't been an issue for me, it just...

    Maine Black Bear

    We had a beautiful night on Friday when this guy decided to come in to my bait site. My shot ended up being a bit left and hit the front shoulder, but still managed to get a lung. Left him for the night and found him about 70 yards away the following morning. He ended up weighing 220 dressed...

    Fishing Trip

    Took a trip earlier this spring to probably the most difficult water to fish over here. Catch and release fishery, and has the biggest brookies in the state. I really wanted to hook onto a 20" brookie, a personal goal of mine. The place is beautiful. Tough to get good views around here since...

    Backpacking Stove

    Thinking about buying a backpacking stove this year. I've been looking at JetBoils, specifically the Sumo (not totally convinced I'd need the extra room over a flash). The only thing that bothers me is the weight compared to other stoves (and price compared to other stoves, to a lesser...

    Broadhead Tuning Issue

    I've been working on broadhead tuning my bow for a bit now and can't seem to get my broadheads to hit with my field points. My broadheads (Muzzy 100's) are consistently 3-4" left (I'm a lefty) of my field points at 40-50 yards. The difference is only 1-2" at 20-25 yards. I moved my rest...

    First Muskies!

    This year my dad and I tried to do something a little bit different and tried our luck for muskies through the ice. We tried a bit this past summer with no luck, although we didn't try all too hard. Muskies aren't native to the area and a lot of people here have negative views upon them...

    Wyoming Archery Antelope

    Thinking about taking a trip to Wyoming this fall. I went last year and had a blast, looking to go back. This time I'm thinking about using my bow and trying my luck that way (spot and stalk). Never used a bow out west so really looking forward to that challenge. I have no points so I know my...

    Moose Shed

    Found my first shed of the year, which also happens to be the biggest I've ever found. 22" wide, 27" palm length, 8-9" palm width. Just out of curiosity when you score a moose, if the palm is folded back like this one, how do you measure it? For example, if the width is 8" the fold goes...

    My 2014 Season

    Much to my surprise, this season has been one of the best deer hunting years I've ever had up here in Maine. We tend to have long, snowy winters that can really decimate the population. I shot my first deer in 2005, which was followed by two really bad winters that wiped out most of the...
