    Help with felt backing for bear hide

    So my wife, my absolutely wonderful wife, tanned my bear hide. She did a wonderful job with it but is having trouble getting a felt backing to stick using adhesive. I can’t feel any remnants of fat what so ever. She attempted with 3m spray adhesive that said it would work on leather. Neither of...

    New hunters. Cheap vs expensive? What do I actually need and what are realistic expectations?

    I was having a conversation with a friend that has just recently started hunting and using firearms. He said he was really discouraged after watching the videos online and said that he just wouldn’t be able to afford to get into the sport. It makes me wonder how many people find themselves in...

    Savage Axis build?

    First of all, I know there are better platforms that I could use. That being said, I’m looking at this little Savage Axis in my closet. I bought the thing for $100 a few years back. I shot it a few times and was surprised at the five shot groups coming in just over an inch at 100 yards. I put it...

    Oregon rabbits

    Hello all, For the past couple winters my wife and I head out to central and eastern Oregon in search of jackrabbits and cottontails for our freezer. We’ve had some marginal success at times and got nearly skunked on occasion as well. My question is, how do you all find routine success? I have...

    Better clothes

    I stumbled across Fjallraven while looking at sweatshirts a couple weeks ago. I really liked the look of some of their clothing and decided to try them out. When my sweatshirt arrived I was extremely impressed with the design and quality. I immediately noticed the similarities between it and my...

    What days for Oregon Cascades?

    My cousin and I have decided that we are going to start bow hunting elk this coming year. My dilemma is that my work is starting to do a sort of first come first serve method for scheduling days off. I am completely new to archery elk. What part of September would you recommend for a two week...

    Remembering how I got here.

    Just wanted to share something of how I got into hunting, honor someone who meant the world to me and share a story. When I was a kid he gave me my first rifle. I could barely lift the old Enfield 06’. He patiently listened to all my questions about hunting and fishing and bought me a...

    Hunt 161 Oregon

    I was curious if anyone would be willing to discuss this area? Obviously there will be a bunch of people on and near the roads. I am more curious about what to expect from the weather? Prevailing winds? Temperature fluctuations? Success rates aren’t great but the scenery is just as important to...

    Canning smoked herring?

    I love kippered herring. I was hoping to get some herring this spring and try canning some smoked herring. Does anyone have any tips to share? I haven’t had much luck finding recipes or information about canning after smoking.

    GPS Failures

    Over the last five years or so I have started moving deeper into off trail wilderness areas and have had a few issues with my GPS and phone GPS. Sometimes it will be a momentary dead spot but there are also times where my electronics seem to just go off the rails and say I’m several miles from...

    Newbie cat hunter

    Hey everyone, I am looking to start cougar hunting in Oregon. I have no experience hunting them but I am not a complete rookie to hunting predators. I am hoping to find someone willing to teach me how to be effective at calling/tracking them or at the very least give me some advice. I have...

    Why no mule deer on winter range?

    Just got back from a small vacation with my wife. We took our yearly trip to Eastern Oregon with hopes of getting to see some animals moving to the winter ranges. I am almost speechless with what I have seen or more accurately not seen. We covered hundreds of miles of open range land that just...
