    Kifaru Koala Lite

    On my recent hunt I was looking for a way to carry my handgun that didn't interfere with my pack. I already knew I didn't want a holster attached to the pack belt because when I took the pack off I'd be without a defensive gun. Past experience has taught me that a holster on my waist was...

    Dogs

    Quick question before I head out. Thinking of taking my blue heeler with me on a ten day coues deer hunt. He sticks close, has basic obedience, and is a good companion that I enjoy. Since the shots tend to be longer, 300 to 400 Yards on average, I'm thinking he might be a good hunting...

    First Bow

    I've only shot a bow in boy scout camp forty years ago and that was like only ten arrows. This weekend I took a lesson and walked away with this. Time to start practicing with my Mission Craze.

    30-06

    I've got a question and wondering what you all think. Currently I have a 22" barrel 30-06 that I'm happy with. It's a half MOA rifle. I'm considering getting a second one with a 26" barrel to take advantage of some of the slower powders and heavy bullets. This would be a two 30-06 combo with...

    Why I hunt

    I know this is a cooking in the wild area but I didn't know where to post this. This is the reason I hunt. Homegrown eggplant and hunted venison for a Tex Mex venison stuffed eggplant dinner.

    How To Shoot A Rifle Using A Bipod

    Like the title says, how does one shot a rifle using a bipod? I'm not grasping the loading the bipod set up. My rifle is hopping all over the place when I fire. Vince

    Evaluation of Target

    Howdy all. I don't have anyone I can ask this of and want to get some constrictive criticism. I'm not looking for pats on the back or praise. I don't know what standard I should hold myself to. I've held myself to 600 yards on game, if conditions are favorable to me, and wondering if I'm...

    Hard Hunting

    Just borrowed this book from a buddy and delving in to it. It looks to be a good read by a man and woman doing what we love, backcountry hunting in wilderness areas, in Canada.

    Airline and Pack Question

    I purchased a new pack with an external carbon fiber frame. I'm planning to go to Newfoundland next year for a moose hunt and won't be driving there. My question is, will the carbon fiber frame withstand the abuse the Baggage Apes will dish out and the normal wear and tear of airline travel...

    Hammock

    Looking at maybe going with a Hammock and Tarp as a sleep/shelter system. What are the pro's and cons? I've never used a hammock before so I'm looking for folks experiences with them and if they recommend them or not. In the past I've used tents and bivvy bags. I hate the bivvy bag as I find it...

    Take Care Of Yourself

    I came back to hunting later in life after making a career, family, and fulfilling other goals. I just want to warn everyone to take care of their bodies be it in pursuit of a career, hunt, or other goals. I'm 48 years old and just had a cardiac stent placed. Always been considered in "decent...

    Snow Shoes or Skis?

    Howdy all, Planning a backcountry backpack hunt for elk next year if I get lucky enough to get drawn in Arizona. My question: Snow shoes or cross country skis? Looking at snow on the ground and being further back than most folks. My snow experience is minimal so I'm asking. Thank you for the help.
