Last Friday we hiked in to camp after pulling in to 1.5'-2' of snow. Camp sits just a little over 8k. We sat in my truck thinking about what to do. Our camp has been pitched since a little before the month started, and we feared the worst. We came to the conclusion that we at least have to...
A couple scenereo's played out in front of me this past weekend that I'm curious to know what could be the reasoning for it. This is my first September, and I have started hunting last November so I am really new to hunting with a bow. I am not hunting for horns. Just looking to be...
Anybody have any luck so far with a harvest in Idaho yet? Bulls rutting where your at? Been out 6 full days so far. We've had some close encounters but nothing tip bring home yet. Hoping the rest of you have a great archery season!
Had another great morning with Sawtooth breaking in my new rifle. I used Federal's blue box 130g bullets for the break in process of my Bergara B-14 Timber chambered in 270.
Bullets 16, 17, & 18 are shown at 100 yards. We saved the last 2 for some fun. Once again I had the pleasure of...
I'm toying with the idea of moving up to 31" draw. I rather have my hold hand fully extended rather then bent. With my 30" draw, the spacing between pins are already pretty tight. Will increasing the draw length an inch, therefor putting a little extra speed behind the arrow tighten the...
Literally just opened the package and mounted it. My Trophy Ridge 5 arrow quiver does not fit on this sight which really upsets me right now. Brand new!

Thanks.

I bought this Rhino XT as a back up release, but it's to "stiff" for me. I tried it out today and 2 arrows went over the target. I even tried loosening the spring, even completely taking it out and it still needed to much pressure to let it go.
I am looking to trade or sale. $60 shipped...
I have a Trophy Ridge React 5 with .019 pins. Love the technology behind it, but recently have been practicing out to 60 yards and my sight picture and the .019 pins block my target (4" circle). I was thinking about maybe going with a single pin, like Trophy Ridge's React One Pro. Same...

Was going to pick up a couple Primo's Truth Cam 35, but now I'll wait. What's your guys thoughts on this? Is "Fair Chase" taken away with the use of technology? I think some...
I can't recall the title of this short clip, but here's what it's about...
Starts off with a bow hunter and a camera man hunting elk. A bull elk steps out enough for the hunter to draw his bow back and let er' go! But upon drawing his bow, the hunter is filled with so much...
Well made it out to Sportsman's this morning with the intention on getting either of the 2 rifles I had in mind. Those being the Winchester Model 70 and Weatherby Vanguard Sporter, both in a 7mm Rem Mag. Gentlemen at the counter was outstanding and very helpful. Straight up told him I don't...
So I'm looking at the differences Model 70 Sportster and Model 70 Super Grade. Besides the stock, everything else appears to be the same. The price difference is making me wonder if I am missing anything different between them. On paper they have the exact specs except for weight. just...
WOW! Had the pleasure of shooting a rifle with this scope mounted on it and it was crystal clear even on max magnification. Scope was 5-20x56. He had another scope which was a Huskemaw 5x20, but to me it was no contest which scope was clearer. Even though that rifle shot 850 yards no...
This morning I met with a guy who builds long range rifles, in the hopes of buying his 7mm Rem Mag from him. He also had another guy there who was interested in his 300 Win Mag. Both of these rifles were Remington 700's with the 7mm Rem Mag being the CDL SF and the 300 Win Mag being the...

I am curious to know what you all are using while practicing and hunting. I'll say this right now I am not in the market for electronic ear plugs. Just way to much for me right now. Looking for something reasonable <$60.
Thanks!
Hey HT,
Looking once again for more guidance. I am going out on my first solo back country hunt that'll be just 2 days and 1 night this coming Monday and Tuesday (29-30). The 31st is my 34th birthday so I'm kind of excited and scared for all of this. This will be a spot and stalk hunt. I...
So I've been kind of watching this gun for a while now. Originally he had it listed for $2,000. I texted him about it and he said $1,800 right now. Didn't sell and he took it off for a few months. Now he has relisted it for $1,650.
Says less then a 100 rounds fired.

So I've been reading that you shouldn't shoot at a bear as you would with a deer or an elk. That when it comes to a bear, your better off aiming for literally a few inches in front of dead center of the bear.
Vital organ comparisons show a difference, especially in the lungs. Really...
