    Calling on my fellow color blind hunters - glassing advice

    At least I feel like I'm not alone! If I use my 25 year old son as comparison (who has excellent vision both normal viewing and color), I know I can hang with him when it comes to spotting game both through glass and the naked eye. We're on par there. But when it comes to blood trailing...

    Cold Plunges?

    No I would say not. I've been right on the brink of hypothermia one time duck hunting, like I could hardly get the keys in the truck door back at the ramp as I was trembling so bad, but I wasn't at the point I felt warm and about to disrobe. Odd because in a cold plunge, if I stay in past the 5...

    Homemade Backcountry Boot Dryer

    I've dropped pairs of hot-hands down inside damp boots overnight and have always been satisfied with how well they've helped to dry them out by morning. I'd bet if you combine doing that with those little fans you'd definitely have a good thing going on; heat + air movement. At home or at a...

    Need advice , my pup is getting aggressive ..

    Truer words have not been spoken. And if he gets away with it on a full size human, bet your a$$ he's gonna do it on a pint-sized one.

    DIY glassing mittens

    Hell yes, if you make it I would buy it. Would love to be able to fine dial a spotting scope or binoculars w/out having to remove a mitten. Good idea!

    Which states prohibit or limit field-quartering of big game?

    In Maryland, you must tag it once it's killed and then remove the whole deer (you can field dress it first obviously). If you wish to quarter it gutless style, you would have to first obtain your confirmation number via phone or internet. After you have the confirmation you can do as you please...

    What’s always in your truck/vehicle?

    Bailing wire is great to have around. Duct tape and zip-ties are always on hand for me too, but I love bailing wire because it can accomplish stuff neither of those two can sometimes. Years ago had a gas tank strap go on an old truck of mine. Bailing wire to the rescue. Couldn't have done that...

    Found rifle

    Sat down and took a break a few years ago elk hunting in a sea of new growth pines, one of those places where everything looks the same. Realized a few hundred yards later after walking off I had left my bugle tube laying there. Got lucky and found it after about an hour searching. Lesson...

    blood stained game bags

    I just cleaned mine up. Argali bags after a two day soak in cold water with some Dawn suds. Rinsed off any little chunks left over and ran them through the washer. They came out looking new. FWIW Argali says don't use bleach as it may damage the synthetic material. I didn't use it and sure...

    Saturday Morning Projects

    Finished processing some mule deer steaks. I like freezing them in marinades, then when they're taken out to thaw they marinate themselves. Meanwhile, had a pork but smoking for about 6 hrs
