    Single pin vs 5 pin sight

    I just went to a single pin setup after years and years of a 4 pin set up. I'll let you know how that worked in about 7 months!

    Work Advice

    "Your direct boss is stealing time and resources from her employer. You informed the next person up the chain, which is all you can be expected to do. It isn't your job to hold your superior accountable. Unless you plan on being at this company long term I would keep my head down unless...

    Firest Crossfit class yesterday

    Great job! I'm supportive of anyone working to get into shape, regardless of how they choose to do it. I guess I would be considered as more of a 'traditional program' guy as I predominantly weight train but also mix in cardio in the forms of biking, walking, rucking and hiking. But...

    Forget the guns, London wants your knives!

    History repeats itself...just look at this issue in regards to the Gaza Strip. Firearms have been controlled so much there that knives became the weapon of choice by default. Now, people in that area can't even buy a set of steak knives without being registered.

    Adult onset hunting

    Glad to read that things are looking up for you physically, and really glad to read that you discovered hunting! It's never too late to take up an endeavor you are interested in and if we as hunters don't get more people interested...it will be bad down the road. I'm one of the biggest...

    5th wheel or Travel Trailer?

    Personally, based on my experiences: I prefer a travel trailer for this simple fact - we are not limited on pulling it. I've got a hitch set up on my 3/4 ton pu and I also have everything set up on my wife's 'Burb. This has really been helpful for those weekends that can turn into long...

    How is the training going?

    "Up your salt intake alittle, should help retain some water for the harder workouts. I had to the same thing as I started to train more." - This is a great point, it's so easy to follow the conventional train of thought that when you are getting in shape or training that salt is your nemesis!

    Which bow for a beginner.

    Another option in the Sage and Edge market is a Mountaineer 2.0 by OMP (October Mountain Products). It is a takedown recurve. I too went traditional not too long ago. It's been awesome and I'm having more fun shooting now than I had in 20 + years of shooting compounds. I started out with a...

    Elk\Deer Hunting Books

    Another vote for David Long's book here...good insight. I've also read Elk Hunting the West the Eastman Way - IMHO it was good, but I only picked out a couple of new ideas; great book if you are new to elk hunting though.

    How is the training going?

    I can associate with your story - I was in great shape (for me) going into the 2017 season. But as soon as December hit, it was like I turned a switch off and totally slacked unit the first week of January...but then I was able to step it up from then on. Good luck to you and don't give up...

    How is the training going?

    My training was going super well until pulling my trap a couple weeks ago...but fortunately, I'm on the mend now. I don't know about the rest of you, but I sure am glad to see the first signs of spring here in Northern MT! I've really enjoyed being able to get out and take some great walks...

    Gear investments, what do you regret?

    Over the years, my two big regretts have been low to mid cost spotting scopes and clothing.... It seems like I've been constantly been upgrading those two items for years.

    Training Inspiration

    - I also have a Hanes quote printed out in large font on a makeshift poster that I hung up. I like this one tho and will have to put it to use. I also found a good use for my old hunting mags; I have a huge collage of inspirational pictures hanging all around my workout room.

    Pulled Trapezius

    Holy cow! I've never pulled one of these before... so I didn't know what to expect. Still not exactly sure how I did it...but I did it with flying colors. Prior to the injury, I had been stepping up my mid-winter workout routine nice and gradually, so I'm still not convinced it was workout...

    Alaska Boat Based Hunt Recommendations

    Whew! I'd have to sell my first born into slavery to afford some of these hunts. DIY gets more and more appealing every passing year!
