    Make a new draw system from scratch.

    I never thought the document I wrote would be anything of serious value. I'm a guy who's never hunted before! It was more of a writing exercise for me which still failed. But at least it's creative. This thread was supposed to allow people to get creative with their ideas and maybe throw some...

    Make a new draw system from scratch.

    I am new to hunting so I don't know specific organizations but I have looked up some things about states offering discounts or not. I'm 70% disabled but in far better condition than the people who have lost limbs eyes etc. I'm just a previous maintainer who's body started degrading from the job.

    Sounds of (tag strategy) silence

    All valid points. Apparently NR hunting is expensive here in Iowa. I don't believe that's just since they do so much to help conservation monetarily speaking. Too bad there's not a resident season and a nonresident season. Maybe that would help allieviate some tensions.

    Accuracy vs. Precision

    I'm confident in today's technologies to be able to compensate for these forces through modern R&D to the point that what used to be a concern, isn't anymore so long as you're buying quality products. This is just to determine whether or not a person is the problem or the gun is. A couple shots...

    Accuracy vs. Precision

    Do you use a lead sled? That would at least help determine if the problem lies with the shooter or gun. But much to your point, a guy I knew that was a deputy, his best bet if it came to it would've been to spray and pray. It's safe to say if there was an issue it most likely would have been him...

    So you want to go west? A newbies guide for newbies.

    Hey John. I'm from next door Iowa. I'm half your age but probably also half your physique too. I'm starting to get active again and I know it'll do wonders for my mental health too. I'm a greenhorn when it comes to hunting but if you're ever looking for a hunting buddy out west I'd be happy to...

    SKRE vs. KUUI vs. SITKA vs. First Light

    Why not go to a military surplus store and save yourself some dough? The products have already been thoroughly tested in demanding environments for basically the same purposes (to stalk and hunt prey). Added benefit is you can pretend to be Forrest Gump.

    CPW director on leave after complaint of racist comment

    Back in my school days everyone wanted to be in the back of the school bus. It's where all the cool kids sat.... I wasn't one of them😔

    Accuracy vs. Precision

    I found this in the time it took to type the question: Precision is the measured reproducibility or repeatability of a system under unchanged conditions. Accuracy, on the other hand, is a measurement or the degree of closeness to a measurement to a specific target value. Basically, your rifle...

    Who deserves a tag?

    Disabled veteran tags may throw me a hail marry😗. I got other places I'm saving points for though. Tough pill to down over 2 grand at the moment when other things need to take precedence.

    Need for a new hunting buddy.

    Thank you. I'm not sure how much longer I'll be in Iowa as I'm actually trying to move out of there. Time will tell where I end up but hopefully in one of the rocky mountain states. My dad snowbirds to Arizona and might end up there is cards are in favor.

    Being an ambassador for the sport, how should one counter anti-hunting sentiments?

    I've had far better success with facing diversity with compassion and respect. It's tough to do sometimes, but allowing them to have a voice and say what they need to say first. Then explain yourself in a calm manner the necessity of hunting. One of the many points I make is that a human taking...

    Quote Of The Day

    A prominent general in the Air Force once told me that "We are in the business of putting warheads on foreheads." Which turns out to be an accurate statement.

    Hunt Talker 2023 Fitness Goals

    My dad and i would watch Yellowstone together but the last season of yellow stone pisses me off. It basically turned into CMT music videos. Instead of following a story it's just drinking, sex and country music. BTW Rip is a simp.

    Make a new draw system from scratch.

    I think we are making some good headway here. Alot of good ideas are being presented that we can work with. All we need to do is create a new state which shouldn't be so hard, I mean it's been done 50 times before.

    What is the biggest challenge for you in hunting?

    Thank you for the tips. I currently live out in the country so I drive around the property shooting ground squirrels with a 22lr.

    Western big game. I'm from a whitetail state, however I'm hoping to move out west for a job soon.
