    Beast hunting muleys

    Two completely different strategies. Dan has been involved in the commercial tree stand production world for 31 years.(maybe longer). Unless there are guys using tree stands to spot and stalk mule deer…. I could be mistaken on that, and I’m sorry if I’m wrong. Dan hunts and has hunted majority...

    Feedback on backcountry elk loadout

    So you have a setup with replacement batteries? Sorry your model is not efficient, for whatever the reason.

    Feedback on backcountry elk loadout

    A lot of great advice in here. I’d recommend rechargeable items vs replaceable battery options. The more hunts I invest my time on, the less electronic accessories I bring with. This last year I switched to black diamond 500 storm r headlamps. Charged them last week of august, did 2 trips out...

    I am sure this has been asked a ton. What is your arrow weight

    I did 10years ago when I thought speed killed. My arrows were barely 340gr, shooting 84lbs 29.5” draw. They were pretty flat but once the distance went past 40 the flight inconsistent. Over the years we all learn a few things based on experiences and adopt ideas. Now my arrows are 614gr and I...

    First Suppressor - recommendations

    Oh goody, another can thread! My local shop has a couple scythes sitting there. Plus the 2 in the back with my name on them. You need to figure out what you want out of a can. I just keep buying them because I hadn’t found the perfect one. The scythe so far is it. The mounting system is crucial...

    Kubota vs John Deere

    I went through this a couple years ago. Go and demo both. Price them the way you want. There may be something you cannot stand about one and absolutely like about the other. Good luck and keep us posted.

    Beast hunting muleys

    Here I got excited n thought Dan was on the slide… The idea is possible on all game. Way too many factors to consider. A lot of midwestern hunters have went all in to hunt big game in the Rockies and they learn pretty quickly that most white tail strategies do not cross over.

    Your go to Broadheads!?

    I had this built in 2013 & it’s had a few strings in it and various accessories on it over the years. It was originally built to be 87lbs. 75lbs is still a safe weight, I’m sure there are companies out there building something for your setup.

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    I’m surprised nobody has mentioned 450BM. Joking… Wait I should not** joke on this thread. In all seriousness, 308 or 300wm. If I was a .284 guy, it’s hard to argue with a 280ai especially if you hand load.

    Saddle Hunting

    Beast sticks are top notch, you support an awesome patriot American company. The tethered guys have made a point to set the standard in saddle hunting. That being said, there are several different styles and techniques to stationary tree hunting. Hopefully what you choose fits your criteria and...

    The death of the retail store

    My local fleet farm is always moving stuff around. It’s like a game they play to keep you in the store longer and make you “see” more things to impulsively buy. I’m in my local one (beaver dam) atleast once a week. Some things they have great selections of, like 300wsm ammo. But then other stuff...

    Overthinking Bullet construction on Elk

    My wsm loves the 175lrx. Great results on paper at 600 and does well in game as well.
