    Kentucky vacation

    My wife decided she wants to take a road trip with the kids to Kentucky over their spring break in a couple weeks. Planning to visit Mammoth Caves and then head over toward Lexington. Not sure where this idea came from but I don’t complain because she doesn’t complain about hunting trips. I...

    Grinding wild turkey

    Just finished grinding my venison, and it got me thinking about grinding my next wild turkey for taco/chili meat. Anybody do this? Wondering how it is. Only thing I know for certain is that it can’t be any worse than every other wild turkey cooking experiment I’ve tried in the past.

    Axle-to-axle length

    What’s your preferred axle to axle length? And why? I think my previous bow was about 32.5. Seemed like my sweet spot. New bow is 34. I don’t see much improvement in forgiveness (same BH with both), but it does seem a little more cumbersome to carry. Only 1.5” longer, but riser and more parallel...

    Webbed index release

    I’m looking to get a new index release. Mainly because my old one is just a bit too long to comfortably hook my finger around the trigger like I want to. Current one is a flip back head. Question I have is what do you do with the loose strap-attached heads? Just get used to that little...

    Most Improved Award - #1 improvement you’ve made

    Wondering what change you’ve made that’s most responsible for making you a better archer? (Aside from smart @$$ responses like shooting more). Was is taking lessons? Shortening your DL? Experimenting with stabilizers? Shooting outdoor courses? Thought this might be a good thread for beginners...

    Applying for MT & CO question

    I’m planning to apply for MT next year with a friend (both with 2 points). Obviously 2 points aren’t a guaranteed deal anymore. Ideally, I’d like to burn some points applying in CO (the points drew the tag I’d want this year) so I could hunt there if Montana doesn’t happen. So Montana first...

    Horseback riding at RMNP

    Taking the family on a trip to visit family in CO and then taking some time to see RMNP. I haven’t been there since I was a little kid. I remember going on a cool horseback ride there when I was young. My 6 YO daughter loves horses. Wondering if anyone has any recommendations on where to...

    Inreach Mini & Power Saver Mode

    So I picked up an Inreach Mini primarily for communicating an arrowed animal with others in the hunting party, and also for an unforeseen emergency. My quick question for the more tech savvy folks is: what settings do I need to change so the battery will last 5 days or so? I’ve seen others...

    Hanwag Banks SF EXTRA GTX

    Has anybody tried these boots? I was considering these for elk hunting. I have a pair of Crispi Thors that fit ok, but I still feel like they’re tight around the front end of my foot. The wider toe box seems intriguing to me. I’ve never tried on a pair of Hanwags before, so I’m totally...

    Randy Newberg - Facebook

    I just got an email requesting a survey from Randy Newberg, and he referred to what “happened over the weekend” on his Facebook page. Just wondering if anyone can fill me in on what happened. Just curious...

    Cold weather layering for guys that sweat

    Just wondering if any guys that sweat a lot like myself have found any game changer base or mid layer combos for colder weather (below freezing)? I typically roll with a merino base layer and fleece mid layer, and carry an extra base layer for when I stop moving (because the one on my back is...
