    Hunting Turkey during the eclipse

    Has anyone previously turkey hunted during an eclipse? Just wondering what to expect or if it's even worth it? Currently in Kansas and archery opens tomorrow. Plan to get out at daylight and I'd like to be out there during the eclipse, but I'm working nights so I've got to sleep at some...

    Wind drift

    Thoughts on this video? I've seen many say the wind factor isn't good reason to switch to a 4mm, but based on this guy's calculations it looks like a worthwhile consideration if you take long shots in windy conditions.

    Exo K3 Lighter bag

    Has anyone found a lighter bag to run on an Exo K3? I currently have the 4800 bag that comes in around 2lb. 3oz. I could save a 1lb by going to the Kuiu pro LT 4000 pack system, but I already have a K3 and would rather just try another bag to save weight than get a new system. I just figured...

    Smaller cutting diameter 2-blade mechanicals

    Are there any 2-blade mech broadheads with a smaller cutting diameter than a Sevr 1.5? If so, post em up. If not why? Fixed 2-blades are as small as 7/8"(the bare min in some states) to Iron Wills at 1-1/16", even the wide series IW is only 1-3/8". I think it's obvious why fixed heads...

    Lightweight thermos

    What is the Lightest thermos you've come across? Or best way to keep coffee hot and still keep moving? The Yeti hotshot is awesome, but it's not very light. I'm not looking for something to make the cut on a sheep hunt or super deep backcountry hunt, but sometimes day hunting, scouting...

    Scopecam vs Novagrade digiscope adapters

    Does anyone have experience with both? Any benefit of the Novagrade over the Scopecam? I'm leaning toward the Scopecam Universal adapter. I like the idea that I can use any optic or phone and won't have to purchase additional components for new phones like with the magnetic style adapters...

    First good spotter?

    I'm looking to add a spotter to my gear. I currently run 8x42 diamondback on my chest. I carry a pair of 15x56 diamondbacks with tripod when scouting or on hunts like Oryx. We have an upcoming rifle elk in some open country in NM and a female barbary hunt in January. We aren't usually...

    DIY 16p+ Tipi or Bell tent

    Has anyone made a really large Tipi or Bell-style tent? Something similar to the Seek Outside 16p Tipi, or a Yukon Bell tent. Could a bell tent be made out of similar material as the SO like a silnylon? I'm wondering what the material cost would be for such a project.

    Directing smoke with a muzzle brake

    I noticed some brakes like the CVA are not ported on top and I've read this keeps the smoke to the sides and prevents the smoke from blocking your view after the shot. I have the anarchy brake which has holes all the way around. Has anyone plugged or tapped the topside holes to reduce the...

    Which came first, deciding to hunt elk or elk media

    I see lots of people always blaming youtube, social media influencers, etc for the increase in elk hunter numbers. I don't doubt they have influence, but I have wanted to hunt elk for as long as I can remember. Surely I saw or heard about elk hunting in some form of media when I was younger...

    Idaho Bear Mid/Late June Strategy

    We're looking at heading to Idaho for Spring Bear season, but probably won't make it until the second week of June. It looks like most guys are going out earlier. For those that hunt later, how does your strategy change? I'll be toting a bow, but bringing my daughter with a rifle most days...

    Picked up a .50 cal Accura MR-X recently. Plan on getting it set up for Colorado elk this year, and/or New Mexico if we could be so lucky. I put an Anarchy break on it and have the Williams globe and peep sight with fiber optic insert and a pack of the other inserts to try out once I get a...

    Youth Oryx Hunt

    Well, we struck gold in the NM draw last year and my daughter picked up an off-range Oryx hunt for November. We left Mississippi on Friday the 11th around daylight, overnighted at a hotel in Texas, and made it to the hunt area around Saturday at lunch. We checked the Browning 300 win mag...

    First Elk 2021 NM

    My 11yo son got lucky and drew a NM muzzy youth hunt the first year I put him. I scouted M-T and never saw a bull on public, took him out Friday, and while I was watching a cow on one side of the road, he spotted the first bull on his side. It appeared to be making its way to bed, so we...
