    Antelope Home Range Size?

    With a pronghorn tag in my pocket, I'd like to do some pre-scouting in a few areas of my unit. I am curious if those with more antelope experience find bucks tend to maintain a home range like a mule deer would or are they more nomadic? If I find a good goat in July can I expect him to be...

    Help Me Pick My New Arrows

    I am sending my bow in to get new strings and thought it was a good time to change out arrows as I don't love my current tune/setup. I am debating two arrows and wanted to get some feedback from everyone. I will be hunting elk, mule deer, and antelope with this setup. I will be hunting 3 mule...

    12x50 recommendations?

    I am looking to upgrade my 8x42's and 15x56's with a set of 12x50's. I have tried swarovski EL's and don't care much for swarovision (i get rolling ball badly in the ones I have tried). If they made the SLC WB's is 12x50 I would probably go that route, but looks like they don't offer them. Does...

    I have been experiencing hang fires from my new Traditions Pursuit ML using Blackhorn 209. I have had them as early as shots 2 & 3 after cleaning.

    Questions moving to a stiffer boot

    I have been running the Crispi Idaho GTX for two years now and am starting to see the need to go to a stiffer boot. I am leaning toward the Scarpa Grand Dru GTX or similar.

    SB Broadhead/Fletch type

    Historical Fire Data on Google Earth

    Does anyone know how to access historical fire data on google earth pro? I have been able to download the KML file for the NICC/NIROPS that shows active fires, but have been unable to get any past burn data to show up. I am fairly tech savy, so a link to the KML files would be plenty. Thanks!

    Educate Me on Bear Hides?

    I have been part of two black bear harvests, but we only kept the meat on those occasions. I am hoping to take a bear and preserve the hide for a rug either this fall or next spring. I would assume late fall/spring would be best for a rug? I know that the hide needs to be salted fairly soon...

    Fast Eddie XL Question

    For anyone that has a fast Eddie xl 2017 version with dual pin and the dual pointers, do the pointers correspond with the pins at all ranges? I would assume that if you were able to adjust the vertical gap between the pins, then they would correspond all the way out, but I have not heard if this...

    WTB Fusion Sleeve

    If anyone has a ripped up/shrunk/stained/otherwise ruined firstlite fusion shirt, I would love to use a sleeve to make a custom bugle tube cover. Not looking to spend a ton, but if you have something you would otherwise send to the waste bin, I'm interested! Cheers!
