    Would a new bow be worth it?

    I am wondering if upgrading my bow is worth it. I have been bow hunting for about 6 years now. I purchased a used Martin Magnum Quest that has treated me well but I am coming into an unexpected bonus (read not expected in the family budget) and could dedicate around $500 out of it for a new bow...

    Questions about Wyoming Preference Points

    I live in Idaho, and hunt Idaho. We don't have preference points here, everything is random draw or over the counter. But one thing that is hard to get here is a rifle antelope tag, and I am getting a hankering to hunt one. I have read through the wyoming's fish and game site about fees and...

    What do you look for in a spotting scope?

    The article in the most recent Eastmans' has me looking around at spotting scopes, and when I search I have not seen this exact question brought up: When you are looking for a spotting scope, what do you look for. How do you evaluate that scope, and what are the features that you have to have...

    Air airpads really ready for the back country?

    It has been a long time since I have shopped for a new sleeping pad, and now I find my self in the market. Technology has changed a LOT in 15 years (when I last look for a pad). The biggest change seems to be the increase in "air-pads" of all kinds. After being left with a self-incflating...

    Worth rehabing an Old Bow?

    Five years ago I bought a Wings Presentation Compound bow off a neighbor. I did not have a bow and I wanted to try my hand at it.. Well its a few years farther down the road and it needs a new bow string. I have never hunted with it but would like to try. Should I rehab this thing, or look...
