    Plat maps?

    I really need these for duck/goose hunting, but I know they will be helpful for my other hunts when I get to finally make it to the mountains, but I was looking at onXmaps for Android to get landowner info. Has anyone used this app or service for GE or any other program? If so, what are your...

    OK Open Carry

    Looks like it was signed into law yesterday to take effect 11.1.12.

    question for the elk hunters

    Looking for my first mountain boots

    This will be my first hunt in the mountain ever, and I am really nervous about footwear. Just in training, I have seen the damage that careless care of one's feet can cause. I was advised to get more of a hiking boot rather than a hunting boot, and somewhere along the line, I was told to try...
