    What to you is "WILDERNESS".......???

    Growing up in Iowa my idea of wilderness was just finding somewhere you couldn’t see or hear roads, houses, or farming equipment. Pretty rare especially in northwest Iowa. I remember my first trip to Colorado as a teenager and I climbed to the top of a ridge at The Maroon Bells and looked out at...

    What the closest face-to-face encounters you've had with animals while hunting?

    Deer hunting in a ground blind and was looking through my scope at some deer maybe 50 to 75 yards away and the scope just suddenly goes dark. A little fork walked right in front of me and was about a foot from the end of my barrel.

    Why you dont hunt with some people anymore

    The majority of the time I hunt and fish alone except for a weekend pheasant hunt once a year. When I was first starting out deer hunting I hunted with some friends who did drives during shotgun season. It was run by my shooting sports instructor so all in all it was well done and safe except...

    Upright vs Chest Freezer

    I have an upright freezer and I’ve noticed with ours if packaged right freezer burn won’t happen until maybe after two years. We use multiple clips that we put on to make sure it stays shut and sealed. They have plenty of room if you stack things right, at one point we had a quarter beef, 2...

    Cougar siting

    I wouldn’t worry about it. Here in Iowa I see at least 1 or 2 trail cam pics every year. The river valley is pretty small all considered but I haven’t heard of a hunter actually seeing one before. Someday I hope to get the chance. I remember when our DNR used to deny it also, never understood...

    Flusher Pointer Combo?

    I personally don’t have either (yet) but I hunt quite a bit over both while pheasant hunting. I personally have never seen it workout to well. I know guys who won’t run pointers when they’re flushers there because they don’t want to introduce bad habits. Whether that is true or not I do not...

    22-250 vs 223

    I was in the same boat a year ago except I was looking at coyotes instead of deer. I was originally going to get a 22-250 but got a deal on a 223 so went with that. Extremely glad I did because I wouldn’t shoot it near as much as I do if I was paying 22-250 prices. As mentioned above the variety...

    Muzzleloader accessory advice

    This sums most of it up ^^. I’m not familiar with Traditions guns or what they come with but a good palm saver can go along way at the range. A pick and lube for the breech plug if it’s threaded. Maybe a specific jag for your projectile. I would add a range rod that is a couple inches longer...

    New guy from IA

    Welcome! I just recently joined from Iowa also (Northwest). I think I’ve already spent more time on here than I’d like to admit

    Man Leggings for working out?

    I think it depends where you are. In a gym, shorts over. Outside running, doesn’t matter. Although 95% of people would not care. We had a cross dress day for homecoming one year (and only year) and 5 or so of us borrowed some from the girls in our class and let’s just say we spent a lot of...

    2 deer this season. 1 taste terrible

    I normally butcher on my own but one year I took two in due to time constraints. They weren’t inedible but not the greatest but they took almost 2 months. I’ve noticed that any dirt/intestinal waste that doesn’t get cleaned off while it is hanging can significantly change the taste. But like...

    Powerbelt bullet reviews--members needed

    I've been shooting the 295 grain Powerbelt copper plated for a couple years now and shot quite a few deer with them. With my CVA Optima and 100 grains of triple 7 pellets I can normally get around 2" groups at 100 yards. I haven't ever shot a deer more than 70 yards away with them and I don't...
