    Full Draw Film Tour

    Not sure if it was just announced or if it's just me finding out about it but the Full Draw Film Tour is coming back to Reno here in a couple weeks. I've had a great time every time I've gone and I'm glad it's coming back to town. Anyone else going? https://www.showclix.com/event/fdft7renonv

    New bino harness

    I saw this just came out from Solo Hunter and wanted to see what everyone thought, http://solohntr.com/product/solo-hntr-binocular-system-with-rangefinder-pouch/. Harness is rigged up similar to the Kuiu with a second strap to secure the harness when the binos are removed which I have seen as a...

    2nd Draw

    Second draw for leftover tags opened today. Some decent areas with tags for archery deer. Also a way to grab a bonus point if you missed the first draw. http://www.ndow.org/uploadedFiles/ndoworg/Content/Hunt/Applications/16D6R_Deer_OTC.pdf

    New Rules for Carrying a Sidearm While Archery Hunting?

    I noticed updated language in the hunt book in the archery regs section, "It is unlawful: For any person to carry any rifle, musket or handgun equipped with a telescopic sight or with a barrel length of 8 inches or more in the field while hunting under archery regulations (i.e., an archery-only...

    Hunter stripped of his elk

    http://www.twincities.com/localnews/ci_27095923/minnesota-hunter-stripped-elk-reality-tv-camera-rolled Technically broke the law but I do feel bad for the guy.

    Optics and Rain/Snow

    I got my first pair of good binos this year, Vortex Viper 10x42s. Being new to good optics I have a question. Snow and freezing rain is forecast this weekend while I will be elk hunting and I am a little wary of how wet my binos get and want to see what you guys think. I know they are...

    Elk Hunting Tips

    Well I'm 8 days out from my first ever elk hunt. Drawing a tag for NV is not an easy task and finally after 18 years of hunting will be able to go after these glorious bastards. I have been busting my butt since the spring getting my gear upgraded, shooting, getting in shape, researching and...

    Winged Eyecup/Eyeshield

    Wondering if anyone uses a winged eyecup on their binos and if so, why or why not and what brand. They intrigue me as a nice way to keep the light out while glassing but I don't see many guys using them. Do they contribute more to eye fatigue or are they maybe just a fad or gimmick? I'm...

    Mountain Lion Hunting Question

    I've got a mountain lion tag in my pocket and I will be spending a lot of time in the mountains the next five months. In NV you can choose to buy a tag if you successfully draw so I figured what the hell. My question that I cannot seem to find the answer to is if I have to take the meat if I...

    Quivers

    It's been a while since there's been a good quiver thread so here I go. I've been going through a bow makeover and my last need is a quiver. I have been set on a Tight Spot but I just had to replace my sight which bit into my TS budget so I started looking at other cheaper options. Wanted to...

    Kuiu Ultra Pack System

    Anyone have thoughts on this new line? Saw they did a live demo today but haven't watched it yet. Seems pretty impressive, a 6000 ci bag at 3lb 9oz, I'm wondering how it would hold up on a heavy pack out. The prices are the most impressive which makes it tempting to give it a try this year.

    Bummer

    Heard today that Sage Hill in Reno is closing. Really a bummer for us north-western Nevadans, it was a great place. http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?f=95&t=360613

    Blinds

    I will be hunting archery antelope and am headed up this weekend to set up my blind on a water hole. This is my third NV archery lope tag, the last two I have been in spots that had a lot of natural cover so all I had to do was dig down a couple feet behind the sagebrush and I was good. This...

    2 Weeks!

Based on last year, NV results were posted the 2nd Friday after the Commission meeting. They are meeting today and tomorrow which makes me...
