    Instead of spending money on a 3D target...

    I thought this was a pretty cool video. Targets are expensive these days and this may save someone tons of money. The only thing I'm not too excited about it hitting the plywood with an arrow, but it would take a few arrows before that target costs as much as a real 3d target. I'd also put a...

    Archery sight and quiver

    Selling a used Rage Ghost quiver and an 7 pin fixed sight. Rage quiver comes with all of the mounting hardware and is in good shape, but it is hard to fit fixed blades inside (hence why I switched quivers). $40 obo Sight is an Apex Bone Collector Micro adjust sight. I don't remember the...

    NM draw question

    If I apply and draw out for NM, as a nonresident, is there a way to turn a tag back in before the season starts? I want to apply this year but am unsure if I'll be able to go. I'm assuming I would be out the license cost but what about the tag cost?

    Recipes

    Alright everyone, what is your "go to" recipe for deer steaks and burger? My wife and I have been running out of ideas and are tired of eating the same thing week after week. You don't have to include all of the specifics if you don't want to. We are more interested in finding new ideas to cook.

    Hunting on a budget

    Hunting on a budget is something that I run into every year. I have lots of high hopes and aspirations to travel and hunt different states for different animals, but there is never enough money to do all of this. I have been limited to a few days hunting locally, then usually a one week trip...

    What release do you use?

    I recently went on a hunting trip and ended up leaving my release somewhere after shedding some layers... pretty awesome feeling to get to a buck you want to stalk and realize you left your release somewhere about 2 miles back. We weren't able to find the release so I had to buy a cheap one...

    2013 SD Archery buck

    Well, we finally got back from our week long trip in central South Dakota. With tons of hard work and a little luck, we landed a pretty good buck for the area. We almost had two bucks, but my buddy missed his. We were actually into too many deer with the rut being in full swing. We would...

    Spotter suggestions

    I know there are a few posts like this, but I am looking for a spotter that is fairly light weight for backpack hunts. I don't really know what power or diameter I need, but I will be using it in central South Dakota and Western Kansas for the most parts but will use it in my future Elk and deer...

    Pants

    What pants does everyone hunt with when it is supposed to be 40 or below for a high with snow in the forecast. Lows are in the teens. I do a lot of spot and stalk in central South Dakota and this year looks like it might get pretty nasty. We hike a TON due to the terrain. I would say on...

    Arrow Building

    Who builds their own arrows and to what degree do you build them? I haven't been bowhunting that long, but I would like to start building and putting together all of my arrows rather than buying two packs of six that are already done for me or paying someone to do them (hopefully) the way I...

    Boot Help

    Ok, so here is the deal. I have a really hard time finding boots that fit me well. I wear a size 13 (depending on the boot) and I have a very skinny foot with fairly long toes... thanks dad... Right now, I have two pairs of boots I hunt in. I have Under Armour Speed Freak boots that I love...

    Chiggers

    Well I had my first experience with chiggers. I have been putting siding on our house and apparently I have been used as a buffet line on my legs and arms for the past few days. Now I am completely miserable. How do I stop the itch? I'm seriously dying here!

    Deep 6

    What does everyone think of the new deep six setups? Arrow, inserts, broadheads, etc. I'm looking at getting into some new arrows towards the end of the season to shoot for next year and wanted to get more information on them. I understand they will have less wind drift and typically more...

    Slider sights

    I'm looking to get a three pin slider. Right now I'm looking at a black gold ascent with a 4 inch dove tail. Are there any other multi-pin sliders that are in the 200 range that are worth the money? Second... if the sight moves, how do you keep a consistant anchor point/aim point? I haven't...

    Pile drivers

    Does anyone have any experience or reviews of Carbon Express Pile Driver arrows? They are nice and heavy but other than that I really don't know anything about them. Any help would be appreciated.

    The Breakroom

    Not sure if anyone has seen or heard of this website, but it is for Danner boots that are extremely discounted. They may have a stitch in the wrong place or something very minor to make them "defective". They are usually 50% off or more when they run the sales. If you go to the website, you...

    Kansas

    Does anyone know much about hunting in Kansas? I haven't had much time to look at the fish and game website yet, but we will be moving there in July. Looking to bow hunt as much as possible when I'm not working. White tail or mule deer, either way as long as I'm hunting I'll be happy, but any...

    Broadhead tuning

    I'm trying to get my broadheads to fly straight, but I am having a heck of a time doing it. I have read the easton broadhead tuning page, but that didn't really help. I have the broadheads shooting about 1" to the left of my field points at 20 yards which is not ok with me. I have the bow...

    Public Land Game Camera Usage

    How many people put game cameras out on public land during the summer to do some "scouting" for them? I have been in a debate with myself about putting some cameras out on public land here in SD where I know there are some deer running around and am unsure on the caliber of deer each year, but...
