    Photo metadata

    Agreed, rokslide does a good job stripping that data, however I know some other hunting forums don’t, and many folks are members of multiple forums. I agree with sharing photos with family and friends though, I go in and deactivate it. I’ve even seen some of the older outfitter pages who post...

    Photo metadata

    Good day fellow hunters! As the hunting season is in its prime, I thought I’d bring up photo postings. Sorry if this hampers some of the lurkers strategies, to each third their own, but I wanted to share some info on meta data. As public land hunting is becoming more and more competitive to draw...

    Hypothetical question...if COVID cancels hunting

    Yeah, I got reassigned to northern VA from OK, and COVID has us locked up pretty good. Inside the beltway I have a lot more deer wandering into the urban areas. Folks back home have seen more movement on their cameras but that’s private farm lands. I glad to hear folks are still up and out in...

    Hypothetical question...if COVID cancels hunting

    I was thinking as far as animals numbers goes something similar. Harsh winter and no hunting and it becomes a wash. The thing that raised my curiosity is in the animal movements now that people are out of the woods if that might cause some shifting. I would think not, but the amount of animals...

    Memorable lines from grandpas

    Grandpa: I quit school because it had recess, cause I don’t play. A man of little humor he was but a heart of gold and work ethic until the end.

    Hypothetical question...if COVID cancels hunting

    So I was thinking the other day as things keep getting pushed to the right with lockdowns, some states limiting non res license sales etc...that if this thing continued into the fall and states just up and canceled their hunting seasons what that would like look for herd health and what not...

    CO tag release date??

    My wife snatched my iPad because of my constant refreshing, now hiding in the shop on the iPhone continuing the futile attempts to will the internet and CPW to offer me closure. Congrats on all those who already have the good news!

    2b youth New Mexico

    Hard to tell, i know when I was a kid I was just as happy and excited to knock down a spike just to show my dad I was like him. Here we are giving youth a chance to take a trophy which I am not against, but my gut tells me this is going to turn into one kid and a pack of adults harvesting a...

    How important is camo vs earth tones?

    I have camo only in a few outer shells for pants and jackets...mostly for turkey hunting that I can throw over other items. I’m more worried about being warm, dry, and comfortable. Than this years pattern of choice. To each their own though .

    Advice for flatlanders?

    Lots of great advise here, on a gear side of things be prepared for any weather, especially in rifle hunts. Don’t get overconfident by having a 4x4 and chains, if you need chains to get in and it’s still snowing, you probably shouldn’t be going that way, chains are for getting out. Also don’t...

    Pronghorn on the brain for 2019, zero points..anywhere

    What robtat said. Those doe tags are a NR best friend. You can bounce around some really nice areas you’d otherwise needs points to get a feel for where you’d like to go in the future. Like rob, I’ve had similar luck in the draws. It’s a great gig.

    Sitka Kelvin Down WS Hoody vs First Lite Chamberlin

    Wife picked me up a WS for my Nov NM Mule Deer hunt this year. Wore it when glassing in avg temps of 15-25 degrees sitting in the mornings and evenings over my firstlite light base layer and sitka heavy weight hoody and I was comfy even in the wind. Like most have pointed out it is not a hiking...

    New to muzzleloader and interested to learn

    That was a great write up on your knight. Called them and the customer service folks were amazing and gave me the time of day as well as putting me in touch with a few local vendors that could break this new thing for me down. Thanks for the help y’all !

    New to muzzleloader and interested to learn

    This would be for mountain hunting elk out west and maybe some local whitetail from a tree stand. Like I said I’m pretty new to this and was assuming that 100 yards was the most ethical leathal range? I have been prowling around to try and find one being shot in the wild at a shooting club but...

    Looking at a future rifle purchase

    I have the Hells Canyon Speed in 30-06 and couldn’t be happier. Shot .5 out the box at 100 and I’ve since taken 6 animals with it from 80-270 yards no issue. Worked great in sleet and the handeling was no factor. Weight was awesome too and it held up extremely well in 6 high country hunts. I...

    New to muzzleloader and interested to learn

    Hello, Not new to hunting but I have never really handled a muzzy or know anything about them. Unfortunately when I go to my LGS I feel like I’m being more pressured to buy what’s on the shelf as opposed to learning the nuisances of what to look for. I would hope to be using this for elk and...
