    Best rifle options youth hunters

    What hunting rifle would you all recommend for a youth hunter or a very small-framed person? I have 5 boys, and they are counting the days until they can begin hunting with me as well. My wife also would like to hunt with me, but she’s very tiny. My Howa .308 is too heavy and large for them...

    Wounded animal meat safety #2

    Hey everyone, I’m back with a question on meat safety on a wounded animal. My neighbor shot a buck with his bow, and it hit high. He asked for permission to track it on our property, and he said he was not able to recover it. One week later, I saw the buck is alive and appears to be showing...

    Meat safety on wounded animal

    Hey everyone, I have a meat safety question. I got a small doe tonight with my B tag. When I got up to it, I found that the deer had previously been attacked, probably by a coyote. The entire butt area was mutilated, brown, dried up meat (oozing in spots) and it was pretty stinky. I would...

    Stinky deer head

    Hey friends, looking for a bit of advice. I got a fairly nice buck this year and intended to euro mount it. Unfortunately, a friend died right around that time and my wife also had a baby. With all of that stress, I never got around to prepping the head to do a euro mount. I just stuffed it in a...

    Help choosing bullets for .308

    Hi there, I have a Howa .308, and I'm looking for recommendations for bullets that are good for deer and elk. I've hunted a lot, but I have to admit that I've understood very little about the differences in available cartridges and brands. I want to change from what I have used and try something...

    WTB Kuiu bag

    I've got a KUIU 7200 (the NEW version) and it's a bit overkill for day hunts. I'm looking to buy a smaller bag, preferably the 2300/2200, but maybe the 1850 or or 3600 for the right price. Let me know what you have. I may also possibly be interested in trading.

    Smartphone battery life for hunting

    I'm looking for information on smartphones and their battery life for hunting, particularly for running OnX Maps. What works or doesn't work for you? I have an old iPhone 6, and the battery life is absolutely awful. Just a slight bit of cold temperatures can take the battery from 100% to 0% in...

    After shooting the bear...

    Hey everyone, I've hunted deer and elk in Montana for some time. Now I'm ready to seriously pursue black bears. I live in Northwest, Montana, and I've been running into them more frequently. So here are my questions: - Do any of you test for trichinosis? If so, how would I go about that? -...

    I have a Gearak binocular barness that is brand new. It has never been outdoors. I'd like to get $60 for it. Shipping is included to the lower 48 US states. These harnesses are pretty cool, but I have two harnesses and don't need this.

    RMEF Ridge Stalker X Bino Harness

    I've been on the search for a great binocular harness for a while now, and I've been pretty frustrated. Some of the major manufacturers are producing harnesses that are good, but in my opinion, nothing special. And for as simple as they are, a lot of them are just way too expensive for what they...

    New contender for best bino harness

    Last week I stumbled upon a new outfit that has made an interesting binocular harness. The company is called Gearak, and they've got a really slick looking harness—at a price point that is about 50% less than most of the popular ones out there, such as FHF, Marsupial, OV, Kuiu, AGC, etc. I was...

    Elk Stuffed Peppers -- or any wild game

    I've been working hard to overhaul my health and preparing for Train To Hunt. But I've also been searching for ways to help my nutrition with recipes that actually taste good. I came across this recipe, and I've been making it over and over again because it's so awesome! This is my favorite...

    Non-enclosed bino harness?

    Like many of you, I've been on the pursuit of the "perfect" binocular harness. Everybody has a favorite, and all of them seem to fall short in one way or another. And, of course, the price tag many of them carry is quite high. Do any of you find that it's better just to use a non-enclosed bino...

    Train To Hunt/Mountain Fit

    There is nobody who has inspired my hunting endeavors more than Randy Newberg. His inspiration has taken my hunting to a whole new level, and this year I had 3 successful "on my own adventures." But being totally honest, I also "drive a desk for a living" and have let me health slide. I've...
