    Trapping coyotes... any suggestions

    Professionally speaking, find a very experienced mentor if you’re going to try and learn to trap/snare coyotes once fawns start hitting the ground. For someone that is inexperienced, it would be very easy to do more harm than good at that point in the year, and may ultimately turn you off to...

    Spotting your shots

    There is a lot of content out there. Some good, some not so good…. But anything that Phil puts out there is 100% solid. Learn all you can from his content…. Anyway, once you have body position figured out and how to properly square up to the rifle, loading the bipod (correctly) is key to...

    Charging Bear - 10mm vs 44mag

    One point of consideration, based on my personal experience… 2-3 shots may be the mean; however, if events unfold to where you feel the need to fire rounds to haze a bear, you won’t regret opting for mag capacity…. I live and hunt in grizz country. Got bluffed in the dark while hunting solo a...

    Colorado Preference Point Focus Group

    Definitely agree with proposing point averaging/sharing/pooling. … another idea (if trying to mitigate point creep) is to create a “premium hunt” for each unit and species. Designate 1 tag for each unit/specie that would be valid for all weapons & seasons.…(BUT DO NOT do what Oregon did and...

    Requesting help sharpening knives

    … I ended up buying a set of paper wheels for the bench grinder years ago, and have never looked back. Super quick, and definitely the sharpest edge I’ve ever been able to put on a blade…. I bought mine through Abowyer back when I was trying their broadheads, but you can find them elsewhere too.

    Procuring Rifle Ammo

    … good advice above, but I’ll add that you should buy whatever you can find in quantity. Don’t mismatch, as point of impact changes will only lead to frustration…. Don’t overlook the Hornady “Match” ammo, as the ELDM bullet is great on antelope, etc.

    What “luxury” items do you carry on your back?

    Stove is my biggest “luxury” item that I rarely leave at home. I got caught in a wicked storm this year, and by the time I got back to camp, it looked like a bomb went off. Everything in my camp was strewn about in a 50 yd radius, and covered in hail (including my sleeping bag). Stove came in...

    DIY Freeze Drying

    We keep ours in the house, so we haven’t had the overheating issue. Maintenance is minimal, with oil changes being the only maintenance we’ve done… we opt to change and filter the oil after every few cycles…. For those that are curious, the “retired at 40” YouTube channel has a lot of good...

    DIY Freeze Drying

    Personally, it has been worth every penny for me. Between hunting, camping, ice-fishing, etc. I’ll go through 50+ meals per year. So in that regard, it pays for itself (in my case) in 5 years or so… beyond that, we have a large garden, and can make all kinds of snacks for kids, etc… also makes...

    Camp location

    On top, off the backside of the basin where you anticipate the deer to be. This way changing thermals and wind currents don’t carry your wind down through the basin and blow out the deer… Don’t camp in saddles, deer cross through them, and they act like a wind funnel, making for miserable...

    Yup, you’re definitely being a Karen on this one… I understand you’re frustration, but have you ever took a second to think how much more frustrating it must be being Whidden’s CS, given the current state of affairs with the supply chain? Based on my past experiences with Whidden, I have...

    What rife caliber for a 10 yr girl for elk

    Some great advice so far. I’ll be in the same boat in a couple years, and have been giving this quite a bit of thought, as well. ... I’m not sure what you’re budget is, but I would highly recommend putting a suppressor on whatever you get her. They tame recoil nearly as well as a brake, and...

    Deer processing

    Robby has a good thread under the “meat and trophy care” tab. I think it’s titled “the deer aging thread”, and is at the top of the thread list.
