    Calling predators

    I've had coyotes come on the first call and had them come in after two+ hours. All depends where I'm hunting. On private ranch land in western KS it usually doesn't take long if there's something around. If I'm on public land in South Dakota it's usually slower and the calling is harder...

    Calling predators

    I usually give a set a few hours and if nothing seems to be going on I'll move. If I work one early in the morning sometimes I'll come back in the evening and work it again. Some people may have a more exact method. I really don't so I have to go off what I know. I'm not familiar with VT...

    300 Norm

    Quick and dirty..is there a company that does a production 300 Norma for less than $3500? I did some google-fying and didn't come up with much. In a hunting rifle, anyways. Couple of SSR/Tac and bench guns is all. More of a curiosity thing than anything else, really. Figured if anyone would...

    How do you prepare for a new hunt?

    This guy gets it. My approach is pretty much the same. Stare at satellite images, cross reference with topos, then reference back the other way again to pare it down. Have several back up plans. Get on the ground and see how wrong you were. First couple of days for me are usually quick and...

    Trijicon Huron

    I've heard wonderful things. Haven't had hands on one yet but I'm going to be ordering one for a new rifle I just got. I got a couple of Trij AccuPoints and absolutely love them so I'm looking forward to seeing what the Huron is all about.

    State Trust Land New Mexico

    Been looking at a few different units in New Mexico for deer. I haven't decided which ones to put in for yet and I seem to continually hear horror stories about land access and ranchers running people off of public ground at gunpoint. So, question is, how does the trust land work? The map on...

    Hatchet

    I've got a couple of Gransfors and wouldn't trade them for anything. Hults is another good one that doesn't quite command the price of Gransfors. Have also heard Wetterlings makes a good axe but I've never used one. I had a Fiskars back in the day and just personally didn't like the way it...

    Where to buy land out west

    Lot's of what you're looking for in south central Colorado. Land isn't stupid expensive. Got a buddy out there who's been trying to get me to relocate to the area. He loves it.

    What stock is this?

    That screams Bell & Carlson to me. Maybe a limited run or something that could explain the weight difference?

    Share your "Hunting Items I've overspent on with no advantage"

    Range finder. Bought it for way too much at a gun show, played with it a few times, took it hunting a couple of times and never took it out of my pocket. I don't know why I thought I needed it. Even on open prairie hunts the longest shot I've ever taken in my life I paced off at 327 yards...

    What gear are you replacing in 2021?

    Replaced my old sleeping bag with a Wiggy. May still change again. Love the Wiggy's so far on some over night hikes but it's pretty bulky. Also retiring my old Kelty pack and replacing with a Seek and Eureka Tcop tent with a tipi. It's all been good, bombproof gear but it's heavy and my...

    What is a good out West starter hunt?

    Look at elk in Colorado. I got a buddy who does that with his family once a year. Good place to learn.

    Flying with two rifles.

    Thanks for the replies. I kinda figured I was over thinking it. I get like that a lot.

    I'm I the only one who fears a solo hunt...

    I used to not like going back country by myself. Kinda like everyone else says, your mind is your worst enemy. Every scraping, shuffling, stick breaking thing that happens can really put you on edge when you're not used to it. Heard once that a man takes his own monsters into the woods with...

    Flying with two rifles.

    So I've been getting my google-fu on and also checked over the forum here, can't really find an answer. Me and a buddy are planning a hunt this year that's gonna be about a 30 hour drive one way from my house. So, been kicking around the idea of flying and just renting a vehicle when we get...

    Best Kansas whitetail Outfitter

    If it was between Idaho mule deer or Kansas whitetail I'd pick the muley every time. That's just me though. I mean, if you wanna hang a stud whitetail on the wall, Kansas is a good place to get it done, don't get me wrong. But worth burning a mule deer hunt? To each their own.

    Best Kansas whitetail Outfitter

    I don't know any names off hand but a region to at when it comes to big deer and an all around good hunt is in the Flint Hills. You'll likely get to move around a little bit. Deer tend to be a little bigger in the river bottom land to the south and east but the hunt would probably be southern...

    Unique buck

    I'd take it. I like weird stuff and trashy horns.

    Rokslide Website Seems Slow

    Been a little laggy for me as well. Forum has been kinda hit and miss on speed.

    Bluetooth speaker

    I use a JBL Clip. Bought it on a whim so I could have music at work and it's really proven to be handy. Durable, water and drop resistant, and the battery lasts for about two days of use at about 8-10 hours a stretch. It's great as a phone speaker too when you're doing other stuff.
