    Who's going to be the first hunting 'celebrity' or Youtube personality to put their foot down and stop using cellular cameras?

    I have limited time to hunt and scout due to work. I will keep using my cell cameras to save me hours of drive time I don’t have. I don’t really care if someone thinks it is “ cutting corners”. Come get you some of these 80 hour plus work weeks and then get back to me on how lazy I am.

    Quilt vs Bag

    I have both. I am a pretty warm sleeper. I have the Ember ll 35 degree quilt. Weighs 22 oz. That rating is definitely the lower limit for me when paired with a silk liner, midweight merino base layers, and Thermarest X-Lite NXT Max pad. Anything colder and I am using my Western...

    Deer pack questions

    I have a couple of packs I use frequently. An old Game winner day pack that is about 1750 in volume and a Mystery Ranch Metcalf that is 4300 in volume. Both have a hydration sleeve which is a must for me. The Metcalf obviously has a load shelf where the Game Winner does not. If there is a...

    Why are American branded trucks and most American branded vehicles so unreliable?

    I don’t know the “why” of this. What I do know is the amount of downtime for maintenance that I have on the fleet of Colorados that I manage is almost 200% higher than when we had Frontiers. And that is on a fleet of Colorados with significantly less mileage than what was on the Frontiers...

    Hello from Louisiana

    I get that. I am the opposite. I am obsessed with Mule Deer. I do want to learn elk hunting though. I figured I could get my feet wet on deer to get an idea of what it takes and then start trying elk. Most of my trips are solo so I want to make sure I can get an elk out without it spoiling...

    Hello from Louisiana

    I do. Just started a few years ago. Been to Montana and Wyoming for Mule Deer. Got one in Montana. Applied for mule deer in New Mexico and antelope and elk in Arizona so far this year. Struck out in Arizona. If I don’t draw New Mexico going to see if I can luck out in the special random for...

    Hello from Louisiana

    Yup I know Goldsmith Rd. I have never hunted Yancey. Been fishing there a time or two. I heard the deer hunting has been pretty tough there for the last few years. Tensas has been on a downhill slide too. Overrun with hogs.

    Hello from Louisiana

    Thank you for the welcome! Glad to meet you! Little known fact is that Point and Wilhite are actually two separate communities lol. I am a Wilhite and I still call the area Point Wilhite sometimes. I live about 60 mikes from you. Do you ever hunt Dewey Wills or the Catahoula NWR? If so...

    Hello from Louisiana

    Hey good to meet you. I appreciate the welcome. I stayed in Slidell for awhile after Katrina working. Also lived in New Orleans for a year when I was younger. Spend tons of time now in Denham and Lafayette.

    Hello from Louisiana

    That shouldn’t be too hard to make happen. They are spreading out more every year but I could point you to some core areas that would make it almost a sure thing. Shoot me a PM once I am opened up to use them.

    Wyoming NR Special increase headed for the Gov's signature

    Can’t wait to pony up and draw deer and pronghorn tags in the special, if for no other reason than to take a tag from an outfitter. I may actually use an outfitter when I finally draw elk though. Simply because where I want to elk hunt, I will have to have one in Wyoming. May have to switch...
