    Carrying Turkey decoy ideas

    I have inflatable decoys that are light and pack easily but I rarely use them. It's too much of a hassle to dig them out and inflate/deflate.

    What would you say is the wildest part of Colorado?

    This question is almost like asking for a honey hole. You live here? Just get out the maps and go exploring.

    Meat pack out MUST have

    Can't wait to find those deflated in random places like their Mylar cousins.

    2024 New Mexico Draw Results

    So basically what your saying is that the "dumb" average guy character he plays in the movie has no chance with the beautiful girl, but the millionaire famous guy he is in real life has a 100% chance. That's probably pretty accurate when juxtaposed with obtaining NM hunting tags. The regular...

    What are the odds this is a micro-chipped Antler?

    Or tie some 100 lb monofilament to a shed and hide in the trees like the prank where someone ties fishing line to a 20 dollar bill on the sidewalk.

    What are the odds this is a micro-chipped Antler?

    Lol. The antlers in the stash I found were not in great shape anymore and looked like they had been there at least a year. It was clear that whoever stashed them either forget where they were or never came back for them.

    What are the odds this is a micro-chipped Antler?

    Can't legally pick them up until May 1st in Colorado.

    What are the odds this is a micro-chipped Antler?

    How would they catch people that just stash them in the trees and then come back for them in May? Seems like it would be difficult to prove and unfortunately I think is what a lot of people are doing now. A couple years ago I found someone's shed stash that had 5 elk antlers tucked under a tree.

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    Forget the headlamp ghosts! The part where you get into some stranger's truck in the middle of the night while they were asleep in the back is the craziest part of your story. I can easily envision a less favorable outcome to that scenario. Glad it ended ok for you!

    Hot Sauce Recommendation?

    El Pato! Haven't seen it posted yet but the "Duck" Sauce is pretty underrated IMO. You can buy it canned or bottled in most grocery stores.

    Best instant coffee packets

    The Folgers instant packets are like .97 cents and you get 7 packets in the box. At approx .15 cents per packet it cannot be beat. The same size Starbucks instant packets are almost 10 times as much.

    “Look!… right?” One hundred percent!

    If someone says "Don't worry about it" I immediately want to unload a can of bear spray on them because that statement makes me worry about whatever "it" is nearly twice as much now that they've said that. I am also annoyed by "have a good one". When I was a teenager I worked at a grocery...

    Long Range Lead Slinging Story on Meateater Podcast

    The farther someone shoots, the more time an animal has to take a step forward or change its angle in relation to the shooter. At some point it doesn't matter how good of a shot someone is, there are variables that start to be out of the realm of predictability. That's why I am not a huge fan of...

    Hunting Stages?

    As best I can tell I'm somewhere between limiting out and trophy, hopefully sprinkling in some sportsman along the way. Rarely will I shoot the first forky I see on a deer hunt (trophy) but bringing meat back from the field (limiting out) is of high importance to me. Helping other hunters in...
