Depends on where and how you are hunting. You can get by with anything. The main areas I hunt have been burned, that’s a lot of bear shaped black stumps. I really appreciate a big spotter in that situation. Other places with no burns and a lot of rocks and meadows, you could use 6x pocket binos...
Tough crowd…. Small town blue collar guy, started his own business after decades of perfecting his craft, became successful, seems to do a lot for his community and an overall plus for hunting. If we can’t root for him who are we ok with?
I have no issue freehanding them. I use them for everything so they get free handed a lot during archery. The best I can explain is something with the increased FOV causes it to not seem as shaky? I’ve never been able to free hand other 12s but can these. There is also the headrest option that...
Go for it! I got my son a stalker weasel when he was three, he could shoot it then and still shoots it now at six. They offer different limbs to fit as they grow, something to look at.
Draw tags/Raffles- apply/buy, hit the lottery, you get the tag, hunt it with or without an outfitter in most cases, your choice
Mexico/Alberta/Reservations/Governor tags- pay a lot of money for the tag (50k-200k+), most will come with or require a guide, Governor tag guide would not be required
100%. I was almost stomped by a cow moose, while stalking a black bear, not paying attention, in SW MT (grizz central). Those mountain hippos don’t play.
Found several old homesteads, here is a cabin on the US/Canadian border, not sure if it’s an old trapper cabin or what
Cool place in AZ with the gun ports in the side of the house pretty deep into NF on a cattle camp
Found an intact bear skull this past season, Hayes guessed age in the...
I threw an all weather rest on today, problem solved immediately. They are flying straight and smooth. Off the shelf just wasn’t working for me, they’d fly when I was perfect, but how often is everything perfect in the woods?
I really wish they sold the sitka traverse hat in blaze orange. That is the most comfortable hat I have found. Can't help with finding another one, all mine are a collection over the past 25 years and none very comfortable either.
Possibly, it's definitely water resistant but think during heavy rain it gets in at zippers and seams. During the fall it hasn't been an issue (snow/light rain), but last spring bear (heavy moisture) the bag got wet and stayed wet until I hung it with all zippers open and wiped it out. It wasn't...
I have the Terminus (same material I think?), flaws would be louder, seems to catch and tear on thorny brush more, and if it gets wet, you need to make an effort to dry it out, it’s not going to dry on the fly. Im still a big fan though.
This is the same issue I’ve been battling, getting them to tune. I have them bouncing off shelf as well unless everything is perfect. I’ve tried messing with point weight and knocking point, doesn’t seem to matter. Feathers and even the original AAE trad vanes, no problems.
