    Next time you think you are getting too old for this…

    I was waiting to see the lottery results at GreyLodge Refuge two weekends ago at 5am and there was an old guy in his 70s in his waders and full camo holding his oxygen tank and waiting to go out and duck hunt. That really inspired me. If that guy can still do it. It gives me hope that I can...

    What knives do you carry on your hunt?

    I carried a folding Gerber Gator for years as my only knife. Now I have so many knives I switch it up constantly. When Deer hunting I usually carry a Gerber Gator fixed blade on my pack's belt and a Rough Rider Trapper inside the pack as back up as I don't carry a sharpener. I just picked up...

    Pack Waist Adjustment Buckle Hitting Gun

    Try an old knee brace if you have one handy or you could buy one at Walmart for 10 or 12 bucks. Worked really well and after cutting one strap off, I still have 3 left Incase this one comes off or wears out. Took two tries to get the right cut but that buckle is completely silent now. Easy fix.

    College vs skilled trades.

    It really depends on the person. For some a college education is a must. Not everyone is made for the Trades. Some make a great living in the Trades and others break their backs for peanuts. Really depends on your choice of trades, union vs non-union, your skill level and whether you can...

    Pack Waist Adjustment Buckle Hitting Gun

    Packs back at the house, I'm gonna take it out in the morning so I'll post a pick when I get back from my hunt. I'd love if it's just a fitting issue and easy to fix. The buckle sticks out about halfway out from under the little flap that it sits in, just enough for my gun stock to tap against...

    Economy Packs

    That's what I thought too, but I felt like I needed to at least try on the majority of the sub $300 packs before I pulled the trigger. I still have 3 kids at home so money is definitely not growing on trees atm.

    What the closest face-to-face encounters you've had with animals while hunting?

    I also came upon a gaint rattler sunning himself in a creek bed one year when I had first started hunting alone in my early 20s. I was fascinated as I had never found one while hunting before. I got the bright idea to make it rattle as I had never heard one in the wild. I grabbed about a 10-12...

    What the closest face-to-face encounters you've had with animals while hunting?

    I also had a Black bear come into camp in the middle of the night while the family was doing a summer camping trip up at Little Grass Valley this year. I heard it pull our tarp off the bear box so I got up in nothing but my underwear and opened the tent to see it going through our stuff on top...
