    .223 bullet options for smaller predators

    I am on a mission to get a coyote. Over the years I have missed them with my traps, bow, rifle, and truck. They are my white whale. Typically when I predator hunt I use a small predator call and a red light taped to the end of my shotgun. That set up works fine for fox but I have bigger goals...

    I think the website is fake... but I want the deals!!

    Someone gave me raft about 9 months ago. Since then I built a fishing frame for it and purchased many rafting things. As like most new hobbies I want to purchase/upgrade more things. I want an NRS seat mount. They typically run $85. I found a website that is selling them for around $40 I wasn't...

    80lbs Bows

    I currently shoot a Mathew’s Halon 32, 70lbs, and 28in draw. Total arrow weight is about 515 grains. Last year I played around with my arrow setup and got it shooting good with the heavier arrows and single bevel broadheads. The heavier arrows work great. Clean pass through a all the deer I...

    What scent to use?

    My wife is going to her uncle's cabin to hunt for bear in the northern zone of NY. The regs say a hunter can use 1.5 oz of scent. Anyone have scent suggestions? I have a bunch of stinky scents for trapping. Or would something sweet work better link vanilla. Thanks in advance!

    I want a CVA Accura X, but I am confused....

    I have been looking for an inline muzzleloader that I can use in colorado for elk and PA for bear. I think I want a CVA Accura X 50 cal. I called CVA and they said all of their Accura X 50 cal models are drilled for front sights. I want to put on William's sight. But as I was looking at Accuras...

    Climbing stick aider idea for little legs

    Howdy, I hope you guys and gals are having a fantastic Thursday! Last year I hunted most of my whitetail season with a tree saddle. Definitely a learning curve, but I am all in for this year! The spots where I can will have screw in tree steps. My other spots I will use my Hawk 20" climbing...

    Thoughts about bison hunting

    I am at the point in my life I am starting to plan hunts for bucket list animals. From time to time I fantasize about going for a bison. When I watch rifle bison hunts they don't see that difficult (which I could be totally wrong). However, a bow hunt for a bison excites me. Just curious of any...

    Tree saddles...Do I need a platform? DIY alternatives?

    Howdy Roksliders, Hope you all are staying healthy and safe during these unusual times. I have decided to try hunting with a tree saddle this season. I have ordered the sticks and saddle already but I did not order a platform. Do I even need one? They seem expensive for what you get. I was...

    My yard keeps eating arrows.....

    Howdy Folks! My wife and I just bought our first house. Its tucked in the Pennsylvania woods and there is always deer, bear, and turkeys in the yard. You guys and gals would love it! One problem. I have no backstops to position my archery targets in front of. When I miss they go sailing into...

    I Just got a 300 WM and looking for ideas!!!

    First off I want to elaborate how novice I am about shooting/hunting at long distances. I would estimate that 80% of the days I hunt are with a bow, 15% are with a shotgun, and 5% are with a rifle. When I rifle hunt in Pennsylvania most of the shots are sub 100 yards. However, I want start...

    WTS Lowa Tibbet GTX 9.5 Wide

    I got these boots last August. Worm them on and off to try and break them in. Wore them in September on an elk hunt. After 4 days I had to switch boots because my feet hurt. Been wearing them on hikes since then but they still hurt my feet. Want to sell to try and get a different pair of boots...

    My Lowa Tibet GTX boots make me sad.......

    I purchased a pair of Lowa Tibet GTX boots in August before my elk hunt. The only reason I bought them was that I found a site that had them on sale with free shipping. I was very aware the were not broken in before the hunt. So during the hunt I would wear them a day or two and then put on my...

    PA Guy and so new it hurts.....

    I lived my entire 28 years in Pennsylvania. Neither parents hunted but lucky for me I had an uncle with a bow hunting problem, who then introduced me to the affliction that took over my life. Over the years my love for whitetails outspread to turkeys and then bears. My father (always supportive)...
