SpaceX/Starlink To Topple All Backcountry Satellite Services
I remember being in a national forest deer hunting. I was leaned up against a tree as big around as a kitchen table. I dumped out my day pack. A camera, cell phone and a gps unit spilled out on the ground. I jokingly said to my buddy “ Be nice if all these gizmos was in one unit”. He said “ beam...- Boarmaster

SpaceX/Starlink To Topple All Backcountry Satellite Services
This. It has enabled me to be away on hunting trips out to 3 weeks at a time. I tote my office with me. Just being able to keep up is huge for me. In my world checking out completely can be very expensive. Fortunately I enjoy what I do for work and I’m mostly interested in being able to get out...- Boarmaster

Do you own a scout rifle? Is it worth getting one?
I am an eastern hunter so climbing and ladder stands , blinds and shooting houses are a way of life. I like a bolt action with a straight comb stock and a barrel no longer than 22 inches. They are more handy in my opinion than either of my two lever guns. Guys that like and shoot levers will...- Boarmaster

Why all the fuss about snake boots?
We all used them for them decades I hunted in South Central and Southwest Florida. I was more worried about water moccasins than rattlesnakes. We walked around areas that might have a 4-6 inches of water here and there. Snakes were everywhere. Its warm there. My high boots protected my light...- Boarmaster

What is a Bucc-ees?
I stopped at one once. I appreciated the clean restrooms and all the food options. But I’m more of quick drain and fill pit stop mentality. If you or your traveling companions are the type that needs to stop for 20 minutes to a half hour to walk around then it's great.- Boarmaster

How young is too young to hunt.
Its all about the kid ,preparation and experience. If the kid has been shooting at the range and tagging along on hunts for a while that is a lot different than just tossing a kid a rifle. About 9 is where I have seen kids with experience do good behind a rifle shooting along side an adult on...- Boarmaster

Two rifles, One Caliber?
I dont reload but at one time I used two 30-06 rifles as primary and back up. A Browning A bolt and a Ruger tanger. The ABolt shot Hornadys best and the Ruger shot Remington Green box the best. Both rifles shot considerably better with their respective types. So I carried two different types of...- Boarmaster

270 Weatherby, yea or neigh?
Somehow I ended up with a Accumark in 270 wby and a Deluxe in 300 wby during the magnum craze. Both way more rifle than I need for South Eastern whitetails. They don't get any use as I prefer my 7mm08 for whitetail. If I really knew what I was doing when I bought those rifles I would have and...- Boarmaster

Boot insulation
Its very unlikely I will ever buy a pair of hunting boots again with more than 400 thinsulate. I used to buy up to a 1000. Then I went with less insulation in my boot in my boot and a better sock system. I have found this to work in a lot of weather and activity situations. There are so many...- Boarmaster
