Reasonable glassing distance with 10x42s
I was just curious as to what everyone would say is the reasonable glassing distance with 10x42s? Of course some of it will depend on environmental conditions as well as optical quality. Let's use elk for the example and wanting to be able to know that it's a branch antler bull, also glassing... -

Budget-ish stove???
Like the title says I’m looking for a budget-ish stove. It’s mainly going to be used for making coffee and occasionally a dehydrated style meal. Was thinking something like the JetBoil Mighty Mo, any other suggestions for something around that price range? Thanks!- TM0218

New boot options?
As the title says I’m looking for some new boot options. I’m a flat lander in Florida and my hike in’s are usually 1 mile or so. That being said I’d like the boots to have enough support to withstand some mountain hiking every once in a while. I like non-insulated, leather, and I’m hoping to...- TM0218

Venison Sausage Texture
Hey all, a while back I made some venison Italian sausages that were 80/20 venison and pork fat. I ground twice, kept everything real cold, and hand mixed everything to that “sticky texture.” Once I cooked them though I was a little put off by the texture. The filling was extremely dense unlike...- TM0218

How to smoke a quarter?
Hey everyone, had a quick question. I’m interested in attempting to smoke some whole whitetail quarters (front and hind) but I was wondering about meat preparation. I assume trim silver skin and fat that you can get to but what about the glands and such? Any other tips on preparing the meat or...- TM0218

Budget Binoculars
Looking to buy a set of 10x binoculars for a WY antelope hunt this year. My only constraint is budget, I’d like to keep it at around $200. So far I’ve been looking at Vortex Diamondback HDs, and the Leupold BX-1 McKenzie. Does anyone have experience with these or have any other suggestions? Also... -

Hot Weather Sitka Gear
Looking for opinions on which pair of Sitka pants would be good for me. I primarily hunt in Florida so the weathers very warm. However I’d like to find a pant that would also work for hunting October/November CO or WY (MAYBE once a year) It might be a stretch to find one that does both, so I’m...- TM0218

WY Prairie Dog
Anybody have any recommendations for outfitters that offer prairie dog hunts in WY? Looking to book one this August, which I know is a little late but we’ll be there anyways and figured we might as well book one. Thanks I advance!- TM0218

Public Land Thieves
Well I got a real taste of hunting Florida public land today. A week or so ago I had found a nice deer trail going into an ag field and thought “well this would be a cool place to try out a trail cam.” So I ordered the camera, took it out and got it all set up. A few days later (too soon I know...- TM0218

Florida Whitetail Scouting
Hey everyone, just got back from a day of scouting a management area that I’m going to be hunting this November. I hunted it last year, and with last years scouting and this years scouting I feel like I’m not really seeing anything worthwhile. There’s pretty much two kinds of habitat on the WMA... -

New knife... need opinions please
Hey everyone, I’m looking for a new knife for this hunting season. I’m hoping for something that will serve as a do-all knife (skinning, gutting, quartering, utility). I’m between a fixed blade Gerber gator, Gerber Vital, and the Outdoor Edge Razor-Lite. I like the idea of not having to sharpen...- TM0218

Are cheap tripods worth it?
While doing some pre-planning for a hopeful future elk I came across the tripod issue. I know tripods make glassing much more enjoyable, but I would only be willing to spend $40-50 on a cheap camera tripod (considering all other expenses). Would a cheap tripod be better than free handing? Or... -

1st vs 4th season CO
Hey everyone! Just doing some preemptive thinking and preparing for a 2020 CO elk hunt. I’m from Florida so the terrain, elevation, and weather will be new to us. Any suggestions on 1st vs 4th season rifle tag? I would like to avoid OTC seasons for crowding reasons, and I know there are benefits... -

Avoiding trails
Quick question, I’m doing some scouting on GE right and found what I feel is an awesome spot. It’s a huge basin but there’s a trail that runs right through the middle of the it. The entrance to the basin is about 3.5 miles from the trailhead. Should this spot be avoided? Or would the distance... -

GoHunt Filters
Afternoon everyone! I just started using GoHunt while starting to narrow down units for a possible CO rifle elk hunt next year. I was curious what everyone looks for as far as M:F ratios, harvest success percentage, and public land percentages. I’m sure this will have a ton of different opinions... -

New from FL
Hey everyone, I’m an “adult onset” hunter from FL who just got started a couple years ago with the help of my brother-in-law. My wife and I have talked about doing a DIY elk hunt for a while now and figured this was a great place to come for advice. We’ve learned a lot from Randy’s videos on The...
