    Buying Sheep Boots for Bigfoot

    I need to buy a pair of stiff, supportive boots for sheep hunting, looking at Zamberlan, Kenetrek, Lowa, Scarpa and Meindl. I have wide, hard to fit feet so I'll need to try them on. One company's size wide or extra wide is not necessarily the same width as another's. How do you guys buy...

    Best All-Around Muzzeloader

    I'm strongly considering getting a muzzleloader so I can hunt Colorado deer more often. I'm considering the CVA Accura 2 and the Optima, though I'm open to opinions on other brands. I'm most interested in accuracy with belted slugs, all-around quality and ease of use and cleaning. I'm also...

    Thoughts on Jesus' Birth

    Last year I posted my thoughts on Jesus' birth. This one is different and pops a few balloons. It's pretty long but I hope it's helpful. For a number of years now I have sent out a Christmas letter highlighting some aspect of Jesus’ birth and what it means. This year I thought it best to give a...

    Garmin Oregon 600

    I was all set to buy a Garmin Oregon 600 until I checked the reviews on Amazon which were VERY mixed. That's a huge red flag for me. There were numerous different things complained about, most saying it was a great idea but has too many bugs. I won't list the complaints here except the two most...

    Best Angle Compensating Rangefinder

    What do you guys like for an angle-compensating rangefinder? What is important to look for? I would use it for both archery and rifle. I'm thinking about getting the Leupold RX-1000i TBR with DNA. It's about $350 on eBay and gets good reviews on Cabela's.

    Does Anyone Use a Wind Jacket?

    Does anyone use a wind jacket or wind shirt like the Patagonia Houdini? I was thinking of getting one to use as a mid-layer. It's only 3.7 oz. My outer jacket is a Kryptek Cadog and it does block some wind but sometimes not enough. I could break out the rain gear (Poseidon) but that is not...

    A Bit of What I've Learned

    The more experience you have, the more you understand and care about other people. It is easier to avoid temptation than to resist it. Love is to will and act for the highest good of another (Thomas Aquinas). Feelings come and go. Knowing that helps. Lasting love is built on shared struggles...

    Best Knee Pads for Antelope Hunt

    Anybody got a favorite brand or model of knee pad? Lowe's and Home Depot have a bunch to choose from. Some don't look hard enough, others might not stay on well or make it more difficult to walk.

    I have only 1 antelope point so I am looking for a 2nd choice unit or leftover tag. Assuming I can get permission to hunt with lots of phone calls to ranchers on the WY GF list, which of these is the best WY antelope unit? Horn size is what matters most to me. They are rated pretty close in the...
