Have an L5, S1 fusion and Laminectomy/otomy with titanium plate and screws at the same level. No other pack made feels better for my back than Kifaru (especially with heavy weight). I believe this is due to their hip belt. I have a hoodlum and also a Stryker with Sherman Pocket, and switch...
I already have Meindl Boots that I bought from Cabelas quite some time ago. I am looking at getting another pair. Trying to decide between the Vakuum Hunter (Closest to exactly what I already have) or the Air Revolution 4.1 Hiker. I really like the current boots, but also think it would be nice...
Thank you everyone for the replies. I feel like I am not alone in thinking that it should be about the hunt and ethics. Breaking the law seems like a huge ethics violation to me. And I agree that I would like to put in the extra work to get to the animals. Feels more rewarding to attain...
Not sure on this one, but the map I have from ODFW does not specify that any dates are excluded. Made me believe they were Green Dot restricted all year.
Well, I was supposed to be hunting in the Snake River Unit again (1st trip was in 1997 and been hunting there consistently for over 10 years), but Fire said otherwise. So, the ODFW allowed us to exchange tags for General Tags. I have questions about the Green Dot Road system. I read the map I...
540 grain arrow (Total) with a Kudu Contour 125 grain point. Killed my spike bull. Bull only ran @ 40 yards on a 40 yard severely quartering away shot. Arrow went in just in front of the back ham and came out at the front shoulder. Not a ton of blood, because the arrow was plugging both holes...
I don't hunt this unit, so I can't speculate. I can tell you I trust my own eyes more than I trust any ODFW numbers by someone that probably spends less time in the unit I hunt than I do! In fact I trust their numbers about like I trust the Covid numbers the CDC throws out. Unless they...
This is only true if you believe that hunters are affecting the numbers. They are not! Predators Are! It seems they are only using this strategy on the East side of the state, where most populations are at or very near objective as well. Do they not care about Elk populations in the Cascades at...
Just my opinion but I think the whole ODFW proposal is a joke, and more about revenue than hunting opportunities! Not sure the ODFW cares about game much anymore?.?. My proposal would be as follows:
1. For those that have been applying for years to one day draw their opportunity of a lifetime...
