    How much do you spend on your elk hunt

    Hahahaha. Most likely. Where my better stands are at if you are not sitting in a tree you probably wont see a deer from ground level until it is too late and if you tried still hunting any deer would be gone long before you saw it because of how thick and noisy it can be. Especially if you...

    About a year ago I started reloading my own rifle ammo. I own a trimmer and scale and a few other odds and ends but I've been using a buddies press, powder measure, and priming tool at his house while I was trying to decide if reloading is something I wanted to do. It's getting a little old...

    Tent Reviews Wanted

    I've read some of the historical posts, but I thought I would see what is new. I'm in the market to get a new backpacking tent. I'm thinking at least a 2 person design as my wife may be with me at times (or should I go 3 person?). I want something that is good or great in both rain and wind...

    I know there has been past threads about tripod recommendations. But my question is what is everyone looking for in a tripod, I'm open to recommendations in models of tripods too, but what makes a good tripod good? Besides material and weight what are the deciding factors? Obviously all else...

    How to research from afar

    Sausage Time

    'Tis the season....I started making venison sausage over the weekend. So far I've made 10 lbs of breakfast sausage and 25 lbs of summer sausage. This is probably the best batch of summer sausage I've ever made. The breakfast sausage is good, but I'm still trying for the "wow" factor. I've...

    archery puzzle

    About a year ago I picked up a new bow (2013 Quest Primal) and have had no problems with it until recently. When I purchased it I went through a full setup and made sure it was performing just how I wanted. After shooting it all spring and summer I was more than happy with it and my...

    What is the best Scouting Camera?

    I agree with Fink. Depending on what you are using it for there are a lot of good cameras out there. If you are using the camera for tight trail crossings where the deer will not be in front of the camera for very long than I would go with a camera with a fast trigger speed. I've used cuddeback...
