    Bag liner/foam pad/tyvek liner question?

    I bought a very lightweight Big Agnes down liner that was made to fit my 15 degree BA bag. I used it in an unusual cold snap of single digit temps during a winter hog/javelina hunt in the mountains of deep west Texas and it worked very well. Added less than a pound of weight and compressed...

    Lightweight tent that doesn't use trekking poles

    I have used the Nemo Hornet 2P--The older version-not the OSMO. I am 6-3 so I pretty much fill it up, but I've used it in rain and snow and it has performed great. Mine weighs in at about 2 pounds plus the footprint at a few ounces. Volume-wise it packs up small. I don't generally set up or...

    WTS Seek outside Cimarron full liner

    Hi Leoneli, I think I sent you a PM about this liner--hope so. I'm new to Rokslide so I don't know for sure how the messaging works. Thanks. Mike

    Colorado points?

    The Colorado moose draw is getting close. I have a lot of weighted points from all the years I lived in Colorado and didn't draw before moving across the border to New Mexico. Maybe this will be my year! Got to stay positive.

    What is on your hunting bucket list?

    Having lived in Colorado and New Mexico all my adult life I have been blessed to hunt most of the western big game species and harvest quite a few. I have yet to draw a moose tag--waiting on Colorado later this month or next. My bucket list trip would be a trip to Alaska to hunt about...

    Your hunt setup

    For several years now, I've been collecting and shooting my birth-year Bear recurves from 1961 and have always made my own wood arrows with Grizzly 160 or 200 grain broadheads.

    Attrition rate of newby traditional archers

    I'm like you Beendare, I chose to hunt with recurves and longbows over 35 years ago and I have hunted sheep, elk, mule deer, whitetails, wild hogs, javelina, mountain goats, antelope, mountain lions, caribou, turkeys, and hopefully a moose (if I ever get drawn) with them. I'm really not...

    Older Hunters

    I think this "Over Sixty Hunter Forum" is where I'll spend a lot of time. I'm 61 and t's always encouraging to see other "old folks" still getting out. I had a total knee replacement four years ago and was out elk hunting about four months later. Still going strong. I'm even running on it...

    Anyone solo backcountry hunting over the age of 60?

    Actually that bow is 62 years old already--probably a few months older than I am!

    Attrition rate of newby traditional archers

    You have to be more interested in the enjoyment you gain from shooting a recurve or longbow. You also must realize that your hunting skills will need to improve to account for the closer shots needed with bows versus compounds. I just enjoy shooting arrows with my longbows and recurves...

    Hill Style/ASL Longbows Anyone?

    I own several, but my favorite is a beautiful Tembo with three lams of bamboo made by the late John Schulz while he was a bowyer for Howard Hill archery.
