    Raking with your Bugle Tube?

    Alright, yes.... you can just find a stick, or tear some bark up with your boot, but I do find myself in situations where I wish my bugle tube was stout enough that I could just rake with it. Basically a sturdy stick I'm carrying with me everywhere... Came across this in my search for...

    Turkeys in the Snow with the .410

    Recently purchased a .410 for my daughter and quickly found out I probably need to wait at least another year before she feels comfortable with it. Bought the lightest skeet loads I could find for it, and she still didn't like it. No worries, but I figured I'd try it out myself with some TSS #9...

    Side Charging Build Questions

    Hey fellas, Looking to build or buy a side charging AR in .223 Wylde. Want the charging handle to be non reciprocating. Not going to lie, love the looks/feel of the JP SCI-20, and keep coming back to it. But the ~$3400 price for a full build gives me pause. I could buy it, but hard to justify...

    Groupings Question?

    Alright, have been mostly a bow/shotgun hunter… total noob to dialing and trying to extend my range — as it’s difficult to find a range longer than 150 yards anywhere near me. Finally got access to a piece of property where I can shoot out to 400 yards and have begun practicing . Wish I took...

    What do You Sing on the Hike Out?

    Alright, willing to bet I'm not the only one that does this. Sun just set and you have a solo hike back to camp/truck. What are you doing? I typically walk without my light on, so try to at least make a little noise to ensure I don't silently walk up on something. Started with my Dad after we...

    Hunter Numbers and Health

    So many discussions about tag numbers, non-residents, etc. so want to switch up the discussion. Do you think we are reaching a peak in the numbers of Western hunters? Covid definitely had an affect, so has social media, but obesity numbers have tripled in the last 50 years and as a whole we are...

    Road Trip Help

    Hey Fellas, I'm about 95% confident I'm making a big move next May ('24) -- leaving my job for what will start as a year off with the family. We'll go from there. Kids are homeschooled and young (girls, 5-7) and no time like the present to go make some more memories. Planning a 6 month...

    Overcoming Fainting at Injury?

    Alright first, guess it’s a phobia, but I’m a total wimp when it comes to my own blood. For instance, when drawing blood, etc I have to lay down so I don’t faint. It’s so stupid and actually could be dangerous. On my past elk hunt I was being stupid and tried to cut a branch for a shooting lane...

    Solo Bull ‘23

    Due to a series of friends not drawing and family obligations, I wound up solo this year. Missed the campfire talk with good friends, but did allow me to hunt harder. 6 days of close encounters, lessons learned, applying them, and a little luck — paid off. Finally got a day where I had a...

    In the Field Distance Limit

    Hey fellas, Little campfire discussion here cause I’m curious. Sorry if this comes across as a humble brag —- not my intention — although it is nice to see hard work pay off. I started shooting at extended ranges last year, practicing hard. I can confidently hold a 6-7” group at 80 yards with...

    Black Gold Sight Thread Size

    Just posting this in case it helps anyone out in the future. Was making some field adjustments to my pro sight and wound up dropping the windage screw somewhere -- never to be seen again. Preferred to not remove any other screws to get the thread size, so called them (45 min wait, but very...

    OnX Imagery On-Demand

    Anyone tried this feature yet? At $60 a pop, I figured I would give it a shot just to see. Waited 2 weeks and just got an auto refund saying the imagery failed. I don't need it as the standard imagery is fine for my area, but was just curious. Anyone else had success with this feature?

    Turo Car Rentals and Insurance?

    Any of you fellas gone down the rabbit hole of using Turo for hunting trips? Specifically the insurance side of things for off road use. I normally do not purchase insurance through the rental agency as my current insurance policy will cover rental vehicles up to my policy limits. BUT… I just...

    Minor Limb Damage?

    Got an email out to Hoyt, but figured I'd post here as well while I wait. Found a small chip/crack on the limb of my Hoyt Helix today while shooting it. It was hiding under the arrows on my quiver so honestly not sure how long its been there. Took it in to my local Hoyt Dealer (where I bought it...

    Starlink and Loss of True Wilderness?

    Not sure if everyone's been keeping track of this, but would be curious to get everyone's opinions. I think Starlink is awesome, allowing for high speed internet nearly anywhere with their dish. Opens up allot of doors for people, especially remote communities. Think it's especially awesome that...

    Daughters and Hunting

    Alright fellas, figured I'd at least ask just to see what others have done. The good Lord knew I needed a challenge in life so has blessed me with two daughters (4 & 6) -- who are starting to grow up with soft hearts to just about all animals. I don't want to tear that out of them, but also...

    Best Wind Checker?

    So simple, yet so critical when it matters. What's everyone's go to wind checker? Feel like there are 50 different companies that make some version of the tiny bottle with baby powder in it... feel like it should be simple, but ones I have require two hands to open cause the tabs so small, AND...

    Elk Hunt Before or After Equinox?

    Hey Fellas, I was one of those guys who didn't start elk hunting until AFTER I had a daughter born on September 21st. -- definitely not ideal! :ROFLMAO: I'm in Florida so it's a bit of a trek and have only gone on one elk hunt so far, but planning on my 2nd for 2023. Already have a point in...
