    Dad needs a new food sealer? Sub $300

    Westin Pro 1100 This is the one I have. I've had good luck with it for 3 years. I can usually run 5-6 bags through there, then need to give it a minute to cool down or it melts the seal all the way through on the bag. Now I just do everything in stages with 5-6... cut the roll, seal the...

    2020-2026 Season Structure - Final Recs

    I can't say I'm thrilled about the later start date of archery. It makes sense for elk, but for above timber deer its going to make it tougher/shorter. With my work I can't hunt rifle, so no dog in the fight there. Hunting muzzy for the second year in a row now for deer, but no real issues...

    Muzzy Powder Accuracy

    I did very similar last year Ric, but only with accuracy. Shot at 50-100 yards. Started with 120 and went down 5 grains each group until I liked the grouping. 90-95 is where my 250s fly good. I'm guessing would be similar with a 300 grain and could be in that 95-100 grains of powder. I...

    Muzzy Powder Accuracy

    Thanks UH. That helps. I think I'm going to try some of the heavier Thors or Federals. Federals are lead compared to copper Thors. I'd like to be in that 90-100 grains for powder by volume, but won't sacrifice accuracy to get there. I shoot heavier arrows out of my bow, so why not heavier...

    Changes to SD NR hunting, WOW!

    I can't say I'm excited about the new regs with regards to archery and NR. This is mainly due to me randomly deciding to go up to SD and hunt with my dad on random years. Now I have to decide in August, then April, so that just makes me plan ahead more I guess. The residents got hit pretty...

    Muzzy Powder Accuracy

    We were fortunate enough to draw CO deer again this year for Muzzy. Last year was my first year shooting a muzzy and had a good time, but think I can improve on some things. Question 1: How do ya'll measure your loose powder for your Muzzy? I did by volume last year, but am wondering if by...

    Selling Kuiu Attack and Guide Pants

    Selling my used Kuiu guide and attack pants. Nothing wrong with them except that I've lost 25 pounds and even a belt won't keep them on anymore. Guides are a 34 and are a year newer than the Attack pants which are a size 36. The Attack pants show a little more wear than the Guides as I wore...

    2018 KS Buck

    Got it done in Kansas this year! Didn't have a lot of time to hunt with the bow, but had a great opportunity on a mature deer. He came in at an angle I couldn't get a shot, got too close where I couldn't actually shoot him right under me], worked a scrape right under my stand, hung out for a...

    CO Muzzy Help

    I'm a first time muzzy hunter heading to Colorado this year for deer. I have a TC Triumph that I'll be using. Couple questions... 1. Is it worth upgrading sights? Are fiber optics going to be good enough for deer at 100-150 yards? 2. What type of powder, bullet, and primer combo would you...

    2018 Colorado Backdoor

    I know it's a little early, but has anyone seen anything on a Colorado backdoor again this year? With the online system change I would guess it would have to be a new way of finding a glitch or are we just going to have to wait and try to be as patient as possible?

    Arrow weight and velocities with elk

    Just bought the 2017 Hoyt Carbon Defiant 34 on sale (never seen bows go on sale). I'm able to keep my current arrows which are 501 grain FMJs. I'm dropping about 10 fps with the new bow vs my old. I'm debating on whether to go down to an Axis arrow or similar, put a brass 50 gr insert in it...

    Trekking Pole Help

    I'm looking into getting some trekking poles this year. After reading about them and having a buddy have them on a hunt last year I think I want to give them a try. A couple questions, what style does everyone like (sections that slide within each other with adjustable tabs or the interlocking...

    2017 Mule Deer Success Thread

    Well dad finally drew a muzzy tag in South Dakota after five years of waiting. The tag is usually good for the whole state, but they shut down nearly half of the state due to low populations from disease and hard winters. We normally hunt in an area that was closed this year so we branched out...

    The Backpack Hunting Picture Contest

    Heading up some steep nasty stuff chasing a bugle one morning. Ended up getting cliffed out and weren't able to get across to the peak we needed to be on.

    The Backpack Hunting Picture Contest

    Had the opportunity to bugle in a hunter all the way to the bottom of the mountain. They didn't want to climb up what we just went up.
