    When do WT antlers drop in your area?

    Southern OH. I would say roughly half of the bucks have shed at this point. Seems like it’s been later the last two years. Assuming this year was so late due to a really warm winter and plenty of acorns.

    Gold Tip vs Podium Archery FOC Calculator

    Thank you! I figured you would be one of the first to respond based on your knowledge and stats on other archery posts. 15% vs 13% wasn’t a make or break for me, but more so just curious.

    Gold Tip vs Podium Archery FOC Calculator

    Has anyone actually tested the numbers from Gold Tip or podium Archery’s foc calculators? I plugged in an arrow build I’m looking into building, and the foc was a 2% difference. I know it’s splitting hairs, and doesn’t make a huge difference, but wondering what the difference between the two...

    Budget Starter Gear for a newbie

    Correct, got that backwards with how I phrased it. Main point was to watch the wind and not overthink it. Lot of guys jump in head first and buy a lot of gear, and all it really takes is watching the wind and a few branches/logs for cover. Especially if he’s just starting out and not wanting a...

    Budget Starter Gear for a newbie

    A lot of the answers to this would depend on where you live. In my opinion though, you really don’t need much of anything for whitetails unless you’re planning on backpacking in for a few days. A natural ground blind on the upwind side of a trail or food source is all you need to start. Walmart...

    ONX woes

    In the same boat as other comments. Not a fan of the new compass mode. Really preferred the older version of just having the cone. Feel like the compass and having the dot at the bottom of the screen is not ideal for what I do.

    2023 AZ Elk Draw

    First time applying, still “pending”. I’d be shocked if I even sniffed drawing a tag, but worth a shot.

    Looking For A New Pack? Definitely Consider The AKEK CLIMAX !!

    I’m in. Looks like a good option for a mobile whitetail hunter with the option of packing out meat. Love to test it out!

    Sleeping Bag Suggestions - Early Season Whitetail backpacking Southern IL

    If you’re planning on doing trips like this in the future, or colder weather trips, I would say get a good used bag on here. Also depends if you’re wanting down or a synthetic bag. I would worry more about a good pad though. Hard to sleep well without one. Whatever you choose, just make a few...
