    June hiking/camping in northern Maine

    Folks, there is a good chance I will be working in northern Maine for a few weeks in June this year. The area is very remote and I’m thinking about tent camping rather than hotel or Airbnb and just curious if the black flies are so bad that this is a bad idea? I am coming from West Virginia...

    Converting Magnetic Azimuth to grid Azimuth

    You can bypass all the calculations by purchasing a compass that allows you to set your declination. Here in the East it is about 7degrees west declination. Suunto makes a good mirror compass that allows you to set it Silva makes one too, foresters use these types as it makes things a bit easier.

    WTB WTB .410 O/U

    Thanks Norcal, I’ve thought about that route but the LOP is still a bit long on the youth semi autos. The doubles are as well but I can stomach the thought of having the stock cut down on an o/u a bit better than a semi. I may still go that route if I don’t get far with looking for a used...

    Water Systems?

    I run the platypus gravity system that you speak of and really like it. The bags/components are pretty tough so I wouldn’t worry about any “backup nalgene”. The whole system is smaller and lighter than an empty Nalgene bottle so unless you are really counting ounces it’s pretty slick. I also...

    Stihl Battery chain saw

    I’ve been thinking about the dewalt as well mainly because I have several 20v Vmax batteries. I’m worried that the 20 volt chainsaw does not have much power compared to the 40 or 60 volt models. Just curious which model dewalt you have?

    Snack stick and Sausage seasonigs

    I’ve had high mountain breakfast and Italian seasonings and they were both pretty good. recently got the cabelas maple breakfast kit and i don’t like it at all. I’ll eat it but just not enough flavor for my taste. I’ll add that this was all with 4 parts venison and 1 part unseasoned ground...

    Tipping a hunting guide

    Do you tip a guide that you hire to drop you off/ pick you up in a certain place on a horse trail and pay for animal pack? We did tip but these are two “al a carte” services that were priced to us by the outfitter and I didn’t know what was expected...

    Hoyt rx3 ATA

    I’ve got probably 500 shots on the new rx3 this summer and was lined in very well up until about a week ago and I noticed that I am loosing some speed. I had to adjust my pins down a substantial amount at longer yardages, upon further inspection my ATA has increased 0.5” from what the factory...

    COOLER PREPARATION

    Quiet trekking poles

    I’ve never carried trekking poles in the elk woods but I always use nicely cured walking stick or sticks It seems they would be tougher than aluminum poles and they sound much better when ur raking a tree calling the bulls They sound very natural in nearly all situations

    Land and Water Conservation Fund

    What is their mission statement? Is it real world multiple use, conservation, preservation, etc...? I’ve been around several of these that claim multiple use sustainable timber management and as a forester their timber management is laughable. Here in the east our version of a wildlife desert...

    COLD Beer

    When I’m on the calls in the elk woods I always sneak a couple beers In my pack. When the shooter finally gets it done I break them out and always get a really big smile, even though they are likely warm. Sadly the mood gets pretty serious when we start breaking down the animal.
