    Sportsman's Warehouse/Bass Pro

    These days I am more and more going to the small Ma and Pa sporting goods. Few and far between and you will pay a few more bucks but I just can't throw any more cash at a big box store with rotten service and some of the dumbest employees.

    draw weight ??????????????????????

    Years ago I separated my shoulder and couldn't pull my bow at all. I worked it twice a day with light dumbbells working up in weight as I went along. Injury happened in April and by August I could shoot but with a little pain. Bow at the time was 70 lb. Today I have a 60.lb which is faster...

    What Do You Consider Long Range?

    Scott, I would like to add to that the fact we have laser range finders. Knowing the exact range and the trajectory of the bullet has extended ranges. Personally, I think anything over 300 yards is getting in the long range slot. At what point do we quit calling it hunting and just call it...

    Already a shed?

    Saw one like that today. My guess it was broke off during a fight, since the rut is on.

    Demographics of Eastmans Hunting Forum

    I heard that a female can breed at six months, has five to nine pigs and can breed two times a year.they are fertle until about 5 years of age...so by the time she is one year old, sows from her first litter are breeding. Numbers go crazy after that...

    GAS Bowstrings

    I put them on my Bowtech last year. Seem to be good. Most everyone here in W. Oregon is using them and speaking well of them. Our bow shop swears by them.

    Opening The Can Of Worms...Coronavirus...

    Unfortunately, this one is not about the number of deaths. If you get it and die, you are not part of the problem. The problem is that if you get it and DON'T die, you might take up a hospital bed. The hospitals are getting overwhelmed at an alarming rate. So the real effort is focused at...

    Alaknak Tent

    I have that 12 x 12 tent also. Like it just fine. If you just want to go bigger, Cabelas used to make it in a 12 x 20 maybe they still do. One thing on this tent, if you are in warm, rainy weather and do not run the wood stove, it will sweat pretty bad. Wood stove dries it out the inside in...

    Carrying A Pistol In The Woods

    I get sick and tired of hearing how safe it is because so many million made it and only twenty never. Ask one of the twenty what they think about it. It's like if a large number of people are safe it justifies the loss of those that aren't. Not many people eaten by a Mt. Lion but if one...

    It's in the air.....I felt it.

    Walked outside at 5 am this morning and a breeze hit the back of my neck. Made my hair stand on end. Cool, not strong but steady. Yep it's here. Sat. bow season opens. I'm headed out Wed. morning. This is my first year being retired, so I can hunt everyday all season long if I so choose...

    New shotgun....Cabelas???

    The ol' Mossberg was giving up the ghost, so I popped into the local Cabelas to look at the Benelli Nova. At 399 they were about 50 bucks under the other Benelli dealers in the area and I had a 50 dollar gift cert. so it just seemed logical. I asked the guy behind the counter what the...

    2017 trail cam

    Took the Browning out and pulled the card out of the Moultrie. Out for a week. This is the same ridge I saw the wolf on. Not near as much sign as usual, but it's early. Hope the canine hasn't got everything pushed out of the area.....
