    Northwest Nebraska

    Ive bow hunted the area several times over the years. I may have misunderstood the meaning of your post. But if you think you are going to out work everyone else by getting in deeper (hiking miles). You will be disappointed. The area has a network of roads and there is no where that is miles...

    Have we reached a point with optics where they can not be improved upon

    These things can be finicky. Its a mystery that if you can predict it youll be very wealthy. How many wildcat cartridges are there? How many never take off like the 6.5 creedmore has? I agree that for hunting as we practice it today. I cant see then getting much better than they already are...

    Tactics for hunting caribou on drop hunt

    A general lay of the land might give you an initial boost in the beginning. Like stated above. You cannot chase down a bou. If your seeing lots of them you will see they cross water in the same places. It took me a couple of days to realize that if I was patient. Eventually some would use the...

    Ill second the horse back hunt. The two ive been on are my most memorable hunts. You wont ride right up to them. You will still have too climb. I climbed up into a high basin then had to drop down and part way up the other side. Fact is, covering more ground will enable you to find more goats...

    Cohutta Wilderness, GA

    Your mileage may vary. Everyone says my local WMA is covered up with snakes. Ive run hundreds of miles on the gravel roads. Pack trained up and down the mountain many more. Spent tons of time Rock climbing, Turkey and Deer hunting over much of it. Ive seen exactly one copper head. My friends...

    Well if your more interested in hogs your in luck. For the last couple of years. Everywhere I go on Chatt. Natl. forest has more hog sign than deer. They feed in the creek bottoms and sleep in the laurel thickets. Keep in mind hogs will just pick up and move to another area no problem. So you...

    Western Nebraska

    Ive hunted in that area a few times. I tried goats once. There was too much water and the two main herds I was on were mostly watering on private land. I went back for first week of deer season and tried to decoy one while looking for mulies. Never could get that too work either. There were lots...

    Cohutta Wilderness, GA

    I agree with Juan. It steep up and down and the laurel thickets can be hell. But if your used to backpacking in the smokies you will be fine. Packing a Buck, pig or bear out would be good practice too. Will you see a lot of deer? No Is there a chance you will kill big mature buck? Yes Ive seen...

    70-80 pounds

    It really depends on your size and strength. You certainly don't need it. And when you get old your shoulder will thank you for taking it easy on it. I always tell people. Bend over at the waist and point it at the ground like your shooting straight down out of a treestand. If you can draw it...

    Too many knife options... Which one?

    Swing blaze, Good long lasting steel. Not that hard to sharpen. Gutting blade is the best I have ever used. Ive used it elk, deer and hogs.

Do you need to save money for old age? yes Should you live now, while you still have your health? Absolutely !!!! For me. Ill be just fine sitting on the porch watching traffic...

    Doc says stay away from the red meat

    If you pull up the net and start reading this is a very complicated subject and its constantly evolving. Id call my doc back and specifically ask him about venison. Ive known several people with heart problems. Doc told them to lay off red meat. They could eat all the venison they wanted...
