Colorado right after a rain/hail storm. Not fun on the top of the mountain.

Hey guys, I'd rather learn from other folks' successes and failures that experiment totally on my own. I bought a dehydrator and vacuum sealer to start making my own backpacking meals for scouting/hunting. Mountain House didn't sit too well with me, but I know my wife's cooking does! What are...

Here is an email I got today... no idea if it's true, but still pretty funny and definitely speaks to the pain of trying to hunt these days. Anyone who has bought and then tried to use a hunting license will appreciate this amusing story as well as a perfect reply to an over-reaching...

Hey everyone, I set myself up to process my own deer this year after several years of wanting to. Just got finished doing about 80 pounds from the deer this year, which went rather smoothly for my first time if I say so myself. I do have one question, the texture of the meat is a little off...

My buddy pointed out an app for an iPhone that has a bunch of maps and tracking stuff built into it. It costs $20 and is called GAIA GPS: Topo Maps and Trails for Offline Hiking. It has a ton of topos, so now maybe a guy wouldn't necessarily need a bunch of paper maps to take with him. I'm...

Hey folks I'm selling a call I won in the wingmen giveaway. It's a True Lesser call by Point Blank. We don't have many Lessers come this Far East, so I'm selling it to get it to someone that can actually use it. Since I won it, I wanted to give the forum members first crack at it at a great...

Anyone ever used one of these or know someone who has? This thing is super light. A little smaller than most 2P tents, but double vestibules and right at 2 pounds is really really tempting. http://www.nemoequipment.com/product/?p=Hornet+2P

Anyone done any muzzy hunting in Colorado above timber for deer? The unit I want to archery hunt will take at least 1 point as a NR to draw, but has a decent chance to draw as second choice for muzzy. Are the deer still up high during muzzy season? I'm assuming it depends on what the weather has...

Well, I was the lucky guy that won the call package. Guess its time to get the shotgun out, hang the bow up, and sling some shot up in the air! Thanks Eastmans!

Well, this year my uncle, cousin, and a buddy came out to Kansas to hunt Whitetail for the first time with me. They intended on staying 5 days, but unforeseen circumstances had their trip cut short before they even got here. Season opened on Wednesday and they had to leave Saturday morning at...

Well, got my 2016 buck Saturday night. He was rutting and chasing deer for 30-45 minutes before he offered me a shot. He came under my stand at a maximum of 2 yards, then chased deer in front of it allowing me to draw 4 times before he stood still long enough for me to execute a shot. Guessed...

Anyone use the DeLorme InReach SE or Explorer? Thinking about getting the explorer but have some hesitations. Anyone know how good the GPS functionality is for navigation? Doesn't look like you can see topo on the unit itself and have to use a cell phone? I currently have a Garmin GPS I...

Corner of my office at the house. Got a nice bass on the other side.

Hey everyone, I was fortunate enough to draw a CO muley tag and will be heading out early season to chase deer with my bow in the backcountry. This will be my first hunt off my back, so looking to learn a little here. What does everyone do for meals in the backcountry? I have read the 3000...

Hey everyone, I'm trying to find a hunt for dad to go on this year or for 2017 somewhere. I've been trying to get him to leave his comfort zone for a while, but haven't had much luck. He is a muzzy and rifle hunter only which limits his hunting a little, but he works in agriculture, like me...

Are these a gimmick or would they really help? It seems like it may help increase heart rate and cardio if anything, but not sold on the idea.

This guy showed up at my buddies place at the end of November. Came by right before sunrise according to the time stamp. I may have drooled a little...

I'm selling my HornHunter Mainbeam pack that I have been using for the last 4 years or so. It is a great pack, but I just purchased a new external frame pack that I will be using and don't need this one anymore. The pack is in great shape, but does have a few blood stains on it (pictured)...

I know there are a lot of members out there that have a lot of experience in the backcountry and I'm hoping to feed and learn off of that. I have never done a backpack hunt, but am gearing up to do one as soon as I can. I've been scouring the forum and internet and believe I have a pretty good...

I'm going to be in the market for a new spotter soon and am wondering if anyone has any feedback on leupold vs vortex spotters. I'm looking at either the vortex razor hd in the 16-48x65 or the smaller 11-33x50 vs the leupold gold ring spotters of basically the same size. The leupold spotters...
