    Help me get over my fear

    Lots of good advice here. To piggy back on the idea of joining a conservation group that was mentioned, see if you can find any groups that have a wildlife project coming up that you can volunteer at. I once was wanting to learn to turkey hunt and volunteered at a turkey survey with NWTF...

    Best Boot Insoles (thicker is better)?

    Meant to add that the Pace insoles added just enough volume that I can't use them in my tightest fitting boots. I would need to get a half size bigger in then to use the insoles.

    Best Boot Insoles (thicker is better)?

    In the past I have used Superfeet Greens and Trailblazers. Last year I decided to try a bunch of different insoles to see if I could achieve more comfort/less fatigue. I ordered multiple sets from cheaper Amazon options up to more expensive options. During my training hikes I would put a...

    2023 AZ Elk Draw

    I applied with 8 points, resident pool, 6a was my 2nd choice and I didn't get drawn, so I don't think it dropped. Y'all must've drawn in the random, or I did something wrong. Haha

    Floor-less tipi secondary protection option?

    I've had good luck using a Borah buy bivy in my Cimarron. You might check them out if you decide to go the bivy route. I think they are less than 6 oz. Downside is there is usually a significant lead time. I have never tried using any sort of nest or mesh body from another tent. So I can't...

    Cimarron questions

    I went back and forth on whether to get the lite version or the regular. I ended up getting the regular model. After using it with a buddy this spring I echo what others have said, it is very convenient to have the extra door so that we aren't having to crawl over each other. If I had to do it...

    Who actually spots game regularly with a spotting scope?

    Haha...oddly enough I don't think it's something that is noticeable when looking at me because no one ever makes fun of me or anything. Usually when I tell a hunting buddy they don't believe me until I hold the binos up to show them. I have one hunting buddy who has the same issue but I would...

    Who actually spots game regularly with a spotting scope?

    I glass with a spotter a good amount. Basically I use my binos much more during times of day when I expect the animals to be up and moving more and then my spotter more when I know I'm looking for bedded animals. I don't have an issue glassing with one eye but I guess I have a weird face or...

    KUIU system for my hunt?

    For an early season, high country Mule deer hunt I personally value versatility in my clothing. You are going to experience everything from cold, stationary glassing in the morning to (hopefully) a long sit over a bedded deer in the direct sunlight. I use largely Kuiu. I've tried many brands...
