    Quilts

    Who's using a quilt these days? I'm always looking at ways to lighten my load but I wouldn't do so if the sacrifice was too great. Any real world reviews/opinions out there. I know there are some old threads on the subject so I was looking to hear some updated opinions. When I pack in I'm using...

    CO Archery Buck

    Thought I'd share a photo of my 2017 archery buck from Colorado. I hunted solo this year and was able to find success on my 7th stalk and on my 6th day of hunting. This buck was grouped up with 7 other bucks and he was the best one in the group. I glassed him up on opening day and then a few...

    Eastmans MRS

    Since I can't post a new thread in the Ask the Eastmans section I'll post it here. Why are the Magazines MRS stats printed so small one needs a magnifying glass to read it? This is a huge disservice to subscribers. I don't even use glasses and I can barely make it out.

    Thinking of ditching the drop away

    This year I am really considering removing my QAD ultra drop away rest for stationary type rest. I really feel like the noise of the drop down smacking my bow shelf caused me to miss a buck this year and so I'm looking for something that makes minimal noise on the shot. I definitely do not want...

    Instagram

    What's your Instagram handle? I'm really liking this IG thing to follow other hunters and see their photos from the field. Some of them are really cool. others are just sponsorship propaganda and self promotion. But I'm not hating. So anyways what's your Instagram name so I can follow you? Mine...

    Selling guns to cabelas

    Has anyone here ever sold a gun to cabelas or knows what the process is? I have acquired a few guns over the years from family that I really have no need for and if I get something for them then great. The problem is I don't have any paperwork or really even know where some of them originally...

    What's my truck worth?

    Anyone have an opinion on what my 1988 toyota 4x4 is worth? It's not listed in KBB because it's too old. My mom bought this truck new in 88. Been in the family ever since. A/C hasn't worked in years. Odometer stopped working on it years ago as well so I don't know the true mileage. At least...

    Above the timber

    Last year was my first experience hunting above the timberline in SW Colorado. Opening weekend there was a thunder storm and it rained about 10 or 12 hours straight. We set up our tent right on the edge of the timberline for fear of being struck by lightning, which was lighting up the sky. I'd...

    How far in do you backpack?

    What's the furthest that you have backpacked in or you are capable of packing in and can realistically carry out an animal on your back? No horses. I remember one Eastman's episode where Nate Simmons said he was in 18 miles! That's pretty damn far. Personally 3 to 5 miles is all I've done.
