    Canning

    Been looking into canning venison this year and am picking up a pressure canner from my mom this weekend. Just wondering if everyone prefers the hot pack or cold pack method? When you do the cold pack method, does it cook the meat while it is being pressure canned?

    Better arrow?

    I am also interested in the DCA outsert and small diameter arrow. I couldnt get the picture to work, but that may just be me. Also, if it is designed to break upon impact then how does it perform with a broadhead hitting animal hide, tissue, and/or bone? Not trying to be critical of your...

    Duffel bag airline rated

    I haven't tried it yet, but for air travel for hunts I am thinking about stuffing my pack into a 100 quart cooler. That way I can fly it out as one package and then have a cooler to fly meat home when I return from the hunt. Anyone else tried anything like this?

    Should I hunt Mule Deer and Elk at the same time

    Also, if you tagged out early with your elk, you would have a reason to keep hunting the rest of the week with the mule deer tag in your pocket

    Question on Scopes with Mill Dots- LRD reticles

    The distance between mil's will change with magnification. You can use this to your benifit for both hold-over and rangfinding. I used to hunt with a guy that was a USMC sniper and was into longrange hunting. He would laminate a spreadsheet to the side of his rifle stock that would give him...

    Stone Glacier and Kifaru

    I know it isn't a competition, I was joking because how all the timberline packs went up for sale after the bikini was introduced. I know different features appeal to different people.

    Stone Glacier and Kifaru

    If Stone Glacier beats Kifaru in this review does that mean there will be a bunch of lightly used bikini/highcamp packs show up in the classified section? Either way, I am looking forward to this review since I am in the market for a new pack myself. They both seem like very nice packs

    New to Bows/ looking for advice

    Why I can live with "Cheap" Optics

    This is a good thread. I live on the east coast and most of my hunting is in thick timber for whitetails, so there is no need for expensive glass around here. I am trying to get set up to do a DIY western hunt every 2 years or so. It is hard for me to justify spending a ton of money on optics...
