    base camp cooker

    We have taken a generator on the last few hunts to power a cargo trailer camper with lights, electric heat and freezer. An added bonus has been cooking on electric griddle frypans. Quick and convenient and even handy for cooking inside the trailer some. I just purchased a presto boiling...

    Binoculars

    Well I just wanted to say thanks for the advice and recommendations. I purchased the Maven C1 8x42 and am very happy with them. Also picked up a Vortex Razor 16-48x65 mm spotter that was on closeout at Scheels. I think both will work out well and am looking forward to using them in a couple...

    Long range ethics

    It’s nearly impossible to define what is ethical when looking at things like shot distance, caliber size vs game, equipment, running/walking shots and so on. Its up to each individual to decide what they are comfortable with and do things however they like within the limits of the law. Its a...

    Binoculars

    I am looking for some 8X42 binoculars and wonder if anyone had experience with Theron Questa and Maven C1. I have researched both and they get great reviews for the most part. Maven is a little cheaper and may have better warranty and I am leaning that way. I may demo a pair and buy them if I...

    Thompson Center Strike Rifle?

    I have a strike and really like the feel of it and it shoots well. One big issue with it is that it is very difficult to get my cheek weld low enough to see the iron sights. I can still shoot it, but not with my normal form. If your state requires you to use iron sights it could be a problem...

    recurve questions

    I agree that traditional arrows just seem to fit with traditional archery. However I am still in the learning stage with the recurve and I started with cheaper carbon. I like them for now because I miss too often and They can handle the beating. I also stump shoot and small game hunt with them...

    2017 Archery Season

    Had a great 2017 fall archery season. It started opening weekend in MN. The first night, I had a small buck and doe come through. I had a management tag and even though the doe was on the small side, I decided to fill it. It helped that she didn’t have a fawn with, because I have reservations...

    Rainy

    Was out on Rainy Lake the other day. Worked hard and came up with a few crappies and a bonus walleye.

    Central MN Gobbler

    Never saw a wild turkey when I was growing up in central MN. Now they are all over the place. This was earlier this month and birds were henned up. I had an aggressive hen call her way into the decoys. I just kept mimicking her calls. This guy followed her in..

    Generator or new cooler

    I hunted for 7 days in NW SD out of a 14x7 cargo trailer. It was the first week of archery season. We had a honda 2000 and ran a 5 cu ft freezer and an electric heater off the generator at night. Also had a deep cycle battery to run lights when the generator was off. Anyway the freezer kept...

    Anyone here made the switch to trad?

    I have not made a full switch, but got back into recurves last year. As a kid I shot them exclusively, but switched to compound. I started with a 35 lb samik sage and a half hour instruction from the pro shop several hours away. I really enjoy it and shot more in the last year than I have in...

    Glock

    I have several glocks and have had good luck with them. I have a G20 and really like it. It is a fairly big and blocky handgun, but fits my hands well. I don’t have a lot of rounds through it but it has been reliable. Mine is the non ported version, which I think defeats the purpose of a 10mm...

    Favorite Gear/Accessories?

    General hunting: onX maps and merino wool layers. Midwest archery: Lone Wolf climber, which i carry out on most hunts and it greatly increased success rate in archery season due to versatility and mobility. Ice fishing: Vexilar. Open water fishing: sunblock...

    Range Finder + Spotter necessary?

    I would choose a range finder for sure every time. I have been on several hunts without a spotter and made it through just fine. I can see how it would be helpful on judging trophy potential though. I wouldnt want to go without the rangefinder though. Most of my hunts were archery hunts and it...

    Does anybody hunt larger game with a 25-06?

    I’d look at it this way.. Several people here saying 25-06 is just fine, several say it’s fine with several limitations including bullet selection, range limits and waiting for the perfect shot (not exactly a high endorsement, but all important criteria that should always be considered). Then...

    Who uses an AR style rifle for hunting?

    I hunt predators and varmints with an AR on occasion. I deer hunted with a 223 AR the first year that caliber was legal in MN. Will never hunt big game with that caliber again. I harvested a big doe and even though it was a solid heart shot, she went 50 yds and there was no blood to track...

    Practice Arrow recommendations

    Congratulations on the new purchase. I would echo a lot of the advice given. Stop in at a good archery pro shop. Not a big box store, but a good pro shop. They will adjust the bow to fit you and tune the bow and arrow combination. Bows are a fine tuned instrument as you will find out. Also...

    School/Mass shootings what's the answer?

    I have not read this whole thread, so I hope I’m not just rehashing what others have said. I don’t think there is a simple solution to the problem, but a combination of multiple approaches is probably necessary. They had the, see something, say something down well, but the follow through to do...
