    What are the odds this is a micro-chipped Antler?

    Just ask the landowner. Tell him you’ll stop back with a cold beer.

    How much does grain weight affect trajectory

    Why did you go with a heavier arrow? Was it because of penetration issues or reading stuff on forums? I’ve been happy with 430-440 grain arrows with a 70 lb draw weight. Seems like a happy medium (for me) between trajectory and good penetration. My opinion is that shot placement is most...

    CVA ACURRA shooting low at max adjustmen

    Legit explanation I could see myself doing. Even modern muzzleloaders can be a funny animal. I had a clean miss on a nice whitetail a couple years back. Think I had a Thor bullet that was maybe too loosely fit that it maybe came a little loose off the charge. Only thing I can think as it was...

    How did you not figure out where you were shooting before hunting?

    Montana and this math intensive pref point system for the combo elk tag - Ramblin'

    If you apply as a group with people that have 0-1 pp that would bring down your average points so you wouldn’t draw, and probably allow some people in the party to accumulate 3 points.

    No, I’m not driving to watch a 2 minute event through a welding helmet.

    What was your first western hunt - especially if from East of the Mississippi

    Archery elk hunt in Montana was my first. You live in NJ. A week or more camping out in the mountains is a success whether or not you even see the animal you’re after. When I do escouting for new places, I look at nearby hiking trails on AllTrails and look at the photos. Gives you a good idea...

    Northern Wisconsin Big Woods...

    It seems like there just aren’t many deer when you “go deep” into the National Forest like there used to be. Best deer numbers seem to be near private land with food plots or homes that feed them (despite that not being allowed). Those earn-a-buck seasons hammered the northern deer population in...

    Advice - Shotgun for a Wedding Gift

    Best trap gun I’ve ever shot, but the single shot makes it a pretty specialized gun.

    New Archery Tips

    At your shoots ask around who the best person is to take a lesson at locally. If you just started, you don’t have the form consistency to worry about tuning yet. It’s kind of like a golf swing. You can watch every video, but it doesn’t mean shit until you see a video of you shooting. You’re...

    Kentucky vacation

    My wife decided she wants to take a road trip with the kids to Kentucky over their spring break in a couple weeks. Planning to visit Mammoth Caves and then head over toward Lexington. Not sure where this idea came from but I don’t complain because she doesn’t complain about hunting trips. I...

    Montana General Tag question

    The biggest advantage to applying with 2 points is that you’re guaranteed to draw the following year with greater than 2 points. Applying as a group you’re likely to all hunt this year, but if not, guaranteed to all go together next year.
