    Is my uncle out of his mind?

    I'm getting a compound bow for the first time in about ten years. I've been tinkering with traditional and got pretty serious with it last year but for various reasons I'd like to get a compound for whitetail hunting (from the ground). We're saving for a house right now so I gotta keep it within...

    Jeep getting ransacked by Griz

    We're backpacking in the Beartooths for 4 or 5 days. I've been there three times so I'm fairly familiar with the area. We'll be parking my Jeep, which has a soft top, at a trailhead near Cooke City. I know the campgrounds nearby require hard sided trailers. Think it's a bad idea to leave my soft...

    Newer bow most similar to Prime Logic

    Mountain Archery has Prime Logic Ct3 and CT5 for around $570 right now. I believe that's the 2018/19 model? I'm looking for a new compound bow (I've been shooting recurve last few years). But I'm on a pretty tight budget so this bow is appealing to me. My plan would be to order it and have my...

    My First Compound (in quite a few years)

    I'm wanting to buy a new compound bow for next fall. Would like to get it as soon as I have money for it which should be early summer at the latest. I've been shooting recurve for a few years now but I would like to go back to compound for multiple reasons. I've never had a good compound, the...

    Back to Compound. New Bow needed.

    I've been shooting recurve for the last 5 or 6 years. While I enjoy it, I am ready to try a compound bow again. I haven't shot a compound since I was 15 probably, and that was an old 90s Hoyt. Looking for a new bow under $600 if I can. I was originally thinking something like a Bear Whitetail...

    10mm Ammo would you rather?

    You're going on vacation in WY/MT for a week. Doing an overnighter in the Wind Rivers then heading up to MT to camp/fish the rest of the time. Maybe going through Glacier. You're from Pennsylvania where black bears are the biggest thing in the woods. So you own a Glock 20 and carry Sig 180gr...

    Stone Glacier Avail Capabilities

    Heading to WY for a short backpacking trip this summer. I'm from PA so it's a long drive and space in the car is precious. I have an Alps Commander pack that I was gifted and it's fine for backpacking trips, but it's huge and takes up too much room. I've been wanting to get a Stone Glacier...

    Thanksgiving Hunt Option

    What states have an elk or mule deer general season still open during the week of Thanksgiving? I know Montana does and that's my first choice but I'm looking for other options as well. Id like to do a hunt somewhere in the west over Thanksgiving week for either mule deer or elk, that is the...

    Election Yard Signs

    Just curious. Where do you live and what is the ratio of yard signs for Trump vs Biden? Not trying to get political, just curious what it looks like around the country and this is a good website to find out. I'm just doing some research to see if yard signs have any indication of who wins.

    308 Hornady Whitetail for bear

    I have a Ruger scout rifle. Because ammo is hard to find right now, I decided to go with a more common round for deer this season. I'm also going to use this gun for black bear (very slim odds that I even see one during the short season though). I'm in PA so bears can get fairly big. Hornady...

    California Road Trip with Firearms

    Looking for travel advice for California vacation starting this weekend. Mainly on two subjects. 1) Are most things open in the smaller towns of Central and NorCal? 2) Am I doing enough to protect myself legally in regards to carrying my firearm? I believe I understand all the laws in CA on...

    Any Californians out there?

    My girlfriend and I are planning a trip to California July 10th. She already took two weeks off a long time ago. Planning on going to Big Sur and just driving up the coast. Since it's just a road trip we're able to wait till the last minute to decide what to do. My question is, is most of...

    Budget Tripod

    I know this has been asked before but I'll ask again and for my situation. I got a Vortex Diamondback spotter for Christmas (20-60 angled). I would like to find a good tripod for less than $150. Since it's a budget optic, I'd like to keep the tripod fairly cheap too. I'm only going to be using...

I live in Western PA, I'm fresh out of college, got a job 20 minutes from home making a starting salary of $41,200. I've been backpacking...

    Lifted Subaru

    Since there have been some good threads on hunting vehicles, I figured I'd ask some opinions here. I have an 01 Escape that's on its last leg. It won't make it past August inspection without some pretty major repairs. So I've been looking for a new car. I need it to be my commuter to work (25...

    Wide Boots for Goofy Feet

    Trying to help my dad find a pair of shoes/boots. He's looking for something like a low hiking boot or walking shoe. I'm thinking 6 inches or lower. Problem is his feet are messed up bad. He has to wear extra wide sizes because of his giant bunions on the inside of each big toe. I'd post a...

    Fishing and Packing Heat

    To all the fisherman out there, who all packs heat? Let's see what guns everyone carries while fishing. Let's see rigs with waders on or without. Name your state and targeted species and give us an idea of why you're packing. Pics are welcome. Here's my setup as of today. Gun: Glock 20, 10mm...

    Carry Gun for Fishing

    How does everyone carry a pistol while wearing chest waders? Need some advice on a better set up. Or advice on a smaller gun. I carry a Glock 20 all the time. Love it to death. Carry's great on my hip when walking in the woods. Today was the first day trying to carry it with my waders on. I...

    Ruger Gunsite Scout

    Anyone else out there have a scout rifle? Curious to see if any others are using it for big game hunting? Considering buying a synthetic stock for it and throwing a scope on to use it as my go to hunting rifle if I start making trips out west for mule deer, antelope, elk, hopefully sheep...
