    Best budget thumb release

    Wish I could remember the name of the one I got. Got it 3 years ago to see if I liked the thumb release. Tru Fire something. Can be 3 or 4 finger, has a wire you can remove if you don’t want to hang release from D loop. I like it and have gotten attached to it so haven’t upgraded yet! Was...

    Did any NonRes NOT apply for 2023 Wyoming elk?

    Didnt put in. Wanted to, too many other people involved that can’t put in some effort to do some homework. Wait another year or 2 I guess to hopefully find another like minded person. The possible changes/point creep don’t bother me much, just need people that “want” to go to actually bring...

    Whitetail pack

    I got a Stryker XL as “do it all” pack. Can put a dry bag in load sling if I’m out west. Cinches down well if I’m hunting home in Midwest. Bibs when it’s cold in the load sling, leaves plenty of room in bag for jacket, etc. Use it to haul stands in off season as well (that’s where the frame...

    Am I crazy for looks at trucks right now?

    Can’t remember if that was the tail end of 4th of July sale, it was something of that sort. It was expiring that day(aug 1-4th ish). Seems like often enough theres a similar discount going on

    Am I crazy for looks at trucks right now?

    Curiosity got the best of me in august. Went to see what i could get for trade in on my 2018 Silverado 1500 LT z71 with 60k miles. They gave 2k less than I bought it for new. Got a 2021 trail boss fresh off the truck for 5k under sticker. Im far from any sort of financial guru but that...

    Topo map symbols/legend

    Thanks. Mine didn’t have a legend and I must have skimmed past when I looked at a usgs legend I did find. Do those labels translate anywhere else, or are they just designators for USGS? My understanding is the current published MVUM map supersedes any other map? I understand the topo can...

    Topo map symbols/legend

    Trying to decipher topo map. Planning for next year already. Want to make sure I’m comparing roads on topo to MVUM correctly. I have 1:24000 mytopo maps of an area we went a few years ago and want to come up with a better plan. There are red boxes that seem to label roads. Some are...

    2001 F-250 4X4 SD Front Wheel Bearing Replacement

    Totally different vehicle but...on a 2013 gm I had problems. Couldn’t get knuckle separate from axle without removing knuckle. That then sent me into doing all ball joints PLUS the hub. So it might be good to at least have a contingency plan for extra parts. Not real sure if that’s...

    Colorado 2022 OTC

    For sure. We have 3 points each for WY. Have been putting thought into getting cow tags until we can draw a decent WY unit. Thanks for the replies everyone!

    Hanging mounts on off centered studs?

    I used a spring loaded hollow wall anchor for an antelope mount. Drill a big hole and put anchor through, then 2 big wings open up on other side. Pretty sure I just needed one for the antelope so maybe 2 for an elk

    Colorado 2022 OTC

    Trying to start getting options laid out for myself and 1 maybe 2 guys to go archery season. Thinking second to 3rd week of September. I’ve been to WY once, the other 2 guys have never been. How long do people usually spend in one area before moving on? I know elk move a lot and that has...

    Build my garage gym for me - or talk me out of it.

    I put a garage gym together about a year and a half ago. Left the local gym because it’s lot easier to walk out to garage instead of driving there and back. Rotating shift work is rough on being able to work around the gym crowds. I got a rogue foldaway rack and a cheap 300lb barbell set to...

    Pack question

    I did my first elk hunt last fall. I also was trying to minimize expenses. I bought a alps frame and attached a dry bag with my food, an internal frame daypack, sleeping bag, and hammock. I was loaded for 6 days of hunting. Worked pretty good, we hiked in about 2 miles. I left my frame in...

    Building new Easton axis arrows

    Because the Easton chart I looked at didn’t say anything about inserts or broadheads over 125.

    Building new Easton axis arrows

    I can’t remember for the life of me what my DL is....29.5 seems to ring a bell though

    Building new Easton axis arrows

    Looking at ordering new arrows. Thinking about match grade 5mm axis 250’s. Arrow length will be 29 1/4”. Pulling 80#. Planning on 125g fixed blades. Can I put 50g or 75g inserts in without being underspined?

    New cable

    Thanks. Hate to have to make changes to anything this close to season after having to work to get fixed blades flying right

    New cable

    I got back to Iowa from an elk hunt and found a frayed cable. Deer season starts in a few days. I had the archery shop order a new cable and the guy there said they can throw it on whenever and it shouldn't change anything. Does this sound right to you guys? This is a brand new pro defiant...
