    I'm looking for sleeping pads for 3rd season Colorado hunt for son and I Best bang for the buck on a budget. We both have 0 degree Down bags ?

    Following this thread. Anyone use the Paria Recharge XL? Seems like a really good value. I can't seem to find much bad on the internet about it.

    What's your favorite caliber?

    I don't know if I have a favorite. I've used 30-30, 30-06, 300 H&H, 7mm Rem Mag, and a muzzle loader. It really depends on where I'm hunting. If I'm in a treestand in close quarters I grab my 30-30 or 30-06 pump. If I'm sitting on a big open ag field then I'll grab my 300 H&H. The 7mm...

    Alaska side arm?

    If you want a pistol, check out the Springfield XDM 10. It comes in several versions. I prefer the grip over the Glock. I have the 5.25 barrel with moveable sights. My brother has the shorter barrel that is suppressor ready. He also has a Glock 10mm that he no longer carries.

    Streep typical “age and score” thread

    I agree with mid 120's, but in my area his body looks like a 2 1/2 year old. Real leggy, no saggy belly or back, 3 1/2 at most, but I wouldn't think so around here. Most of our 3 year olds will field dress 170 to 180 pounds, that deer doesn't look near that to me. Could be different in your...

    Trex arms: short draw bow options

    PSE EVO EVL Shoot the 32 and the 34 and see what you think. Bring an arrow with you when testing new bows and shoot through the shops chronograph. Then you can get the real world numbers. A lot of bows don't hit the advertised speeds, and a lot of cams aren't very efficient when going to a...

    Ways to holster your side arm to bag or self during elk hunt

    This year I carried in a CompTac international on my pants belt with a 1 1/2 inch drop piece. I think you can drop it more if needed. Carried fine for 2 weeks archery hunting, was below my Kifaru Duplex belt. You can run with a closed belt attachment or a paddle, adjust the cant to fit your...

    Tough CO opener

    I have not had that happen yet. Usually I can't find the elk at all :) We are heading out in the morning though to do it again. Should be in the mountains hunting Monday morning.

    That is awesome! There are some other companies that should take a lesson from them.

    Canning wild meat

    Pressure can for sure. I've done raw and cooked. Raw is much quicker and easier. You get a lot of shrinkage in the jar. Definetally spice after then you can make whatever you want. We can at least 1 deer a year.

    Moving peep site

    You are correct that is how it used to be in the 80's and early 90's. It doesn't have to be that way now. With quality string and cable materials and built properly they don't do that anymore. Once I have my new set installed and the bow in spec my peeps don't turn at all. There is no settle...

    Moving peep site

    Low quality strings, or peep tied in wrong would be my guess. You can have it pressed and straighten it out and hope it makes it thru the season.
