used rifles (and shotguns)
Last year I bought a Mossberg 935 off the used rack at Cabela's. It looked basically brand new, except it was missing the choke. I paid $200 for the gun and $15 for a new choke. And it works like a dream. I was able to take it apart in store and check it out. And it looked like it was only shot... -

Opinions on new Pa deer rifle
To each his own. I like the thump a 45-70 gives and don't have to worry about meat waste (especially with a 350 grain slug going 1600fps). I will say a 30-30 probably has killed more whitetails than any other round though so you can't go wrong either way personally -
Opinions on new Pa deer rifle
I own a marlin 1895guide gun in 45-70. It has a fixed 4x scope. Its my timber gun and would be great for a eastern deer hunt. -
Cheap vs expensive
With a hooter shooter you can take a .001 arrow and a .006 arrow and shoot them at 80 yards. The tighter tolerances will group better. Enough to knock your arrow out of the X. It makes a difference for a tournament shooter but for an average hunter you will most likely never notice. But if you... -

2018 AK Black Bear (Amazon Episode)
I believe at one point I saw a thread with cost of a AK black bear hunt broken down by fin. I could be wrong but I'm sure that thread is still available somewhere on here Edit: here it is: https://www.hunttalk.com/threads/alaska-black-bear-hunt-logistics-2-000-video.269556/- Ajax2744

Best Boots??
I had a pair of vaportrek for 2 years. Probably put on 200ish miles. They are super comfy but don't have a ton of support and both of mine had holes on each side of my foot at the flex point in the toes. So not so waterproof. Last year I bought Lowa camino gtx. They aren't as stiff as tibets... -
Water Maps for Colorado
I use cross reference between onx, Google Earth, and Garmin maps. I do like how Garmin you can click on the stream and it will tell you if it's perennial, ephemeral and intermittent. And good call Togiegoat on being aware of that. Nothing better than showing up to what you thought might be a... -
Two blade or three
Everyone has a personal preference and reasonings behind it. Any durable, well made head will do the job if you do yours. That being said I generally won't shoot a smaller diameter 2 blade because I have enough energy to push a 3 or 4 blade head through an animal. (I consider a 2 blade with... -
New release
When it comes to thumb buttons I would not go cheap. Buy once, cry once. If you go cheap($50-$100ish) you will end up just getting a better release anyways. If you buy a high end model and end up hating the thumb button you can pretty much get back what you bought it for. But Cheaper means more... -

Yup that's how it was explained to me. As long as you don't move the guts you aren't "placing it" for bears- Ajax2744

Fall black bear tips
Colorado law is written the same way. But I've asked multiple wardens as well as calling the Dow office and they said as long as you didn't put the gut pile there to specificly lure bears then your good. But I still think there could be a few interpretations of the law. But I know a lot of folks...- Ajax2744

Am I overthinking it?? Co OTC unit
If you were in elk everyday, I don't think changing units with a higher success rate is going to help that much. Most OTC units have similar success rates anyways and it probably only varies by +- 3% I would guess. Not enough to really make a difference for an individual hunter. it sounds like... -

Michigan AG to US Fish and Wildlife Service: Abandon your flawed proposal on gray wolves

What size binos?
I personally like 8x42 and 10x50 for the 5mm exit pupil size. The human pupil at low light is 7mm so the closer you get your exit pupil size to 7mm the brighter images will be through the binos. That being said high end glass at 4mm will always look better than crappy glass at 5mm -
Practice Regimen
Personally if I was new to archery and had a reputable shop nearby I would go pay for an hour or two or instruction. If you learn the proper way to begin with you will be way ahead. It's hard to unlearn bad habits and form. I would also rather shoot 10 great shots than 50 bad ones. -
Toxic Broadheads
Every broadhead advertising says they "fly like a field point". And half well made head should out of a properly tuned bow. That being said the thin curved blades would be a no go for me. And if they held together I 6 blades sure is a lot of friction to push through a big animal. I'm sure they...
