Hey everyone,
Had some seriously bad news come in tonight. I normally go out DIY hunting like pretty much everyone on this forum, but this year I decided to try a guided elk hunt. Yes it's expensive, I think we all know that but it's something I've wanted to try. I started the process of this...
Hey everyone,
Hope everyone's summer is going well. Hunting season is right around the corner and we've got a Idaho hunt planned. I suppose the main target is elk, but we've also got bear and mountain lion tags as well. Me personally, I'd be thrilled to get a bear as I've been trying for a...
Hey everyone,
I am currently looking at getting a new pair of boots. I mainly hunt whitetails in the midwest. We do hike, so I will be using these boots for that as well. I've tried on Crispi Colorado's and they felt great. Speaking to a salesman, he kind of pushed me towards the Crispi west...
Hey everyone,
Hope everyone is having a good winter. Getting ready to get cold here in Iowa.
So I was wondering if anyone has used the Garmin Xero A1? If so, what are your thoughts?
Myself and my Dad will be going on a elk hunt in September. We've both got range finders, but like with deer...
Hey everyone,
Archery deer season is over for me and I've got a little gap until late muzzleloader, so we're getting ready to get our hunt planned for the panhandle of idaho next fall. This will be my first time hunting elk in idaho. Some of our crew has been before however. What does everyone...
Hey everyone,
Hope everyone's seasons have been going well. I've been really busy with work lately so my hunting season has been short. Very short. Anyways, here we go.
I hunt a combination of private and public ground here in Iowa. For bow season, things start to get interesting around...
Hey guys, I had been asking opinions on some bows a few months ago. After a bunch of research I went and did some shooting today. I shot the bowtech revolt, Hoyt axius, and the Mathews vxr. All of these were very nice bows. The big decision came down to the axius and the vxr for me. The axius...
Hey everyone,
Just figured I'd throw this thread out there. I am looking to upgrade my bow. I have been researching online the 3 bows that I have listed above. I have not gone to our store here and shot these bows because of the pandemic, so just a little research and hopefully some input from...
Hello everyone, hope you are all surviving the covid safely.
So I have made a vow that I am going to stop being a "I'd love to do that hunt" and start being a "I'm doing that hunt" guy. I've been chasing black bear for a year now, but am also thinking about my next critter I'd like to chase...
Hey everyone, hope all is well.

I was at work today, driving from one job to another and thinking about deer hunting. I then thought about the gentleman in this story. Perhaps some of you have read it before. I had the...
Hello everyone,
As everyone here is probably doing, I'm twiddling my thumbs waiting for this stuff to blow over. I've got a bear hunt booked around Thompson, Manitoba in the middle of May. I'm not so sure it'll happen with the border currently closed, but we're staying positive.
With all of...
Hey everyone, I'm going to invest is a handheld GPS before the hunting season. From reviews I've read, Garmin is the way to go, does anyone have any recommendations? Thanks!
Hey guys,
I went out to Idaho with my Dad this past May and we were a little early for the bears. Too much snow still up on the mountains. I'm hustling to get my work done so we can swing out again in October for another crack at a bear. I've been chatting with some people on here who have been...
Hey everyone,
I am new to the site and figured I may as well chime in. My wife and I were scheduled to go on our first African Safari in April, until we found out a pleasant surprise in January that she is pregnant. It is strongly advised by our obgyn that she does not go to Africa. Long story...
