    Base-layer Recommendations for Nevada Archery Mule Deer

    I live in NV and I really like the First Lite wick hoody and the stone glacier Avro hoody for August. I actually wear these pieces year round but in August they work great as my only layer in the heat of the day.

    Vivo forest tracker esc durability

    The trackers do fit looser than other vivo’s in my experience.

    Choosing my first Tikka and looking for advice

    I can spot shots just fine with my regular t3x 6.5cm. You shouldn’t need the CTR in my opinion. I wouldn’t go above 6.5cm recoil if you want to spot shots without a muzzle brake though. My rifle weighs about 8.5 lbs total.

    Vivo forest tracker esc durability

    I would vote for the bigger pair. Mine are a pretty loose fit and I like it. I can wear them with one pair of socks medium weight socks or a liner plus heavier socks in winter. Works for me.

    Mine do a little bit. Some pants I have roll up a little.

    JRE w/ Cam and Steve

    How long have you been a hunter? I honestly don’t mean this in a condescending way, I’m just curious based on your position. I hear you but I disagree with you about compromising. I do not think the animals rights or anti hound hunting crowd would do the same for us and therefore feel that we...

    JRE w/ Cam and Steve

    Care to elaborate why you support this? CA banned hunting bears with hounds several years ago. You would be crazy to think they won’t move to ban bear hunting completely before too long. This is one of those issues where even if you don’t personally support hound hunting it would behoove you...

    NASTY: expressing bird dog's glands

    I should have added I feed PPP 30/20. Tried multiple flavors of this and no difference as far as fish butt goes.

    NASTY: expressing bird dog's glands

    I have two griffs. One gets the stink (we call it fish butt) and one doesn’t. Same diet and both are females. Like someone else mentioned you only need to squeeze on the exterior of the B hole, no penetration. I have seen it shoot out a foot or two from my old pitubull. Definitely need to cover...

    NASTY: expressing bird dog's glands

    One of my dogs needs it done every few weeks and my old dog needed it occasionally. It’s gross but pretty darn easy to do. Just get some gloves and I hold a paper towel over the area.

    Vivo forest tracker esc durability

    The trackers are the only minimalist boot I’ve tried but my everything else shoe is the Altra lone peak for the last 3+ years and I really don’t like them off trail with even zero weight on my back. I haven’t packed out an animal yet with my trackers yet but I have carried a 45lb pack on and off...

    Vivo forest tracker esc durability

    I feel like off trail is where they shine. I’m on my second season wearing them for big game and Chukar hunting. Only issue I’ve had is lack of waterproofing if it’s really really wet.

    How many inReach Units are needed for a group of hunters?

    Not necessary but sure is nice if everyone in the group has their own. It’s a pretty minor expense for what you get in my opinion. But I also used mine year round, not just during hunting season. We spend a lot of time year round outside of cell service.

    I dont understand the hostility towards wolf reintroduction in Colorado

    Exactly. Humans have changed the landscape immensely and as such we have to manage all species or there is no balance. If an apex predator is not going to be managed then it shouldn’t be there. Wolves won’t be managed in a state like CO. Even if states that allow them to be managed through...

    I dont understand the hostility towards wolf reintroduction in Colorado

    @Loo.wii wolves wont be managed and i think thats the lense you have to look through when thinking about this topic. Could wolves exist in a balanced management structure? Maybe. With our current wildlife management/politics the answer is no way. Wolves are highly emotional for certain groups of...

    I dont understand the hostility towards wolf reintroduction in Colorado

    I spoke with a CA fish and wildlife biologist back in October about deer and bear in the Sierra Nevada. The biologist said they’ve noticed fewer and fewer deer deep in the backcountry and more and more deer living closer to populated areas. This biologist theorizes this is because of the large...

    Euro Elk mount stink

    I had this exact same thing happen with a bull that I took to a local beetle guy. I brought it back to him and he ended up finding something gross still stuck in the nasal cavity or something. He cleaned that out and it’s been fine ever since.

    MONTANA TO TEXAS - a possible move

    😂 I never wanted to move there in the first place! I had a job opportunity I couldn’t pass up. One way I look at it is, could I never leave the state I live in a be perfectly happy (I’m talking even for vacation or hunting trips etc)? With Texas it’s a hard no. Just look at the number of Texans...
