Ethics are more about the proper use of whatever your using to kill any animal. Lots of tools will ethically kill any animal but not at all ranges or in all conditions. The question should be “at what range and with what bullet would you shoot a large animal with a 243 to make an ethical kill. “...
My first hunting rifle I ever bought has sights. None of the next 20 had or has them. I had the mentality that if my scope fails or I break it I need iron sights for back up. 40 years later I still never needed them.
I’m not a mountain man living and surviving off the grid. I’m just a guy who...
Love mine. I shoot eastern whitetails with 140 nosler BTs. Seems to kill them pretty close to where they are standing when you shoot em. This is a plus for an old guy who would rather be back at camp having happy hour than out stumbling around in the dark blood trailing deer.
I guess I been...
I have had good luck with them. Been hunting with them for 25 years. I am an eastern deer hunter. Mostly I have stuck to the VX3 variants starting with Vari x iii.
I dont dial and I’m not too rough on them.
Thinking about a VX5 HD next if I live long enough to need an upgrade. I read alot of...

I have a plastic container similar to a vase. I just fill with room temp water and put the package of meat down it. It will thaw a package of loin or steak in about an hour.
Takes a couple hrs to thaw a bag of burger in a meat tube. I used to pack burger flat in vac pack bags that would thaw...
After trying a few the marsupial is the one I stayed with. I also have the RF pouch. I tried a few with the rf pouch built in but they were just to large for my preference. I also like a pouch that opens forward. I’m sure there are similar designs to the marsupial that I would like just fine but...
If I had the cash for it and buying it for my own long term enjoyment then I would buy it. If I had to borrow money for it I would pass right now. For myself losing value on a property bought with money I already made is more palatable than on money I haven't made yet.
I bought mine in 2004/5. Never needed to spend another buck on binos. Im in Alabama right now using them. At 61 years old I might update but these old swaros have been very inexpensive per year for great glass.
My lease is in Greenville AL. I just got back last week from my 12 day holiday hunt. Heading back up for our rut on the 17th. I will be there at least 14 days this trip. Maybe longer depending on whats going on. It is odd to see most hunters getting the post season blues when we are just...
I’m in Alabama at my hunting cabin so keeping it simple this year. Christmas Eve was
A smoked ham , green beans and mac n cheese. Christmas will be Ribeye steaks , boiled red potatoes with butter n sour cream and canned corn.
Mom made something called hobo stew. Burger, macaroni noodles and tomato juice. More like a soup than a stew. We ate the crap out of it with buttered wonderbread.
