    Camera for filming hunts

    I've been dabbling in this for the past 4-5 years and what I've learned is that outside of a few exceptions (Remi Warren/Tim Burnett) it's extremely difficult to film your own hunt to the level of 'television' quality. I've tried the multiple GoPro/action camera route, DSLR, camcorders, and...

    First Squirrel

    I've been going backwards in my hunting experiences for the most part, starting with deer, pronghorn, ducks and turkeys so I decided to hit the woods this morning for some small game action. After a morning of hiking a bit, sitting for 10-20 minutes listening and looking for squirrels, and...

    Cooler Security Ideas

    I'd avoid Master Locks like the plague on anything you want secured from a greater security threat than a toddler. http://nypost.com/2015/12/21/your-master-lock-doesnt-really-lock-anything-up/ I bought a set of Commando Locks for my Pelican case to use for flights with firearms, and they make...

    Landscapes of Colorado and South Dakota

    Thanks all. If you hear of someone needing a corporate/private/due-diligence investigator-photographer-IT person in the west I'll start packing after I get home from work today :D

    Landscapes of Colorado and South Dakota

    Also caught my first fish on a fly, to my eye a brook trout. 100 yards from the Continental Divide and at the headwaters of the Cache La Poudre River I really need to find a job to move west...

    Landscapes of Colorado and South Dakota

    My wife and I just got home from a week-long vacation to Colorado (RMNP, Poudre Canyon, Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak) and swung through Mount Rushmore/Black Hills and the Badlands National Park on the way back. Should have planned an extra day or two there, it's my new favorite place in the...

    Sat phones, Spot messenger, Emergency devices

    Another vote for the InReach. It uses the Iridium satellite network so its coverage is way better than SPOT and as good as you're going to get provided conditions are favorable. Message send and receive time is perfectly adequate, and if you pair your smartphone with it you can use your phone's...

    Midwest BHA Group??

    IL (Chicago) resident and BHA member here. I try to keep on top on things happening in the WI chapter through their Facebook group, but most events are a bit too far away to get to in Madison, particularly on a weeknight as many of them are. I don't know how many others are around here besides...

    What's the best pocket flashlight going these days?

    Fenix is the way to go for quality flashlights that compete with SureFire and other higher priced brands at a fraction of the cost. I have an older version of the PD-35 that is still going strong after 5+ years of use. http://amzn.to/2pPxUgq

    Turkey hunting questions

    If available in your gun's threading style, the Hevi-Choke Turkey and Hevi-13 3" shell combo is amazingly lethal. My first turkey was shot sitting offhand at 42 yards with that setup on my Benelli M2 and it left a trail of feather 10 yards behind the bird.

    nebraska merrim turkey

    Just got back from there last Sunday. I am happy to report there are turkeys, interesting terrain and an abundance of hunters who seem to just like to drive up and down the road without getting out to take in the sights. Makes those of us who study google earth, hike 10 miles to scout and get up...

    Why don't you carry a PLB?

    Used my InReach for an SOS activation this weekend. I took my cousin pronghorn hunting in NE WY on his first hunt ever and when we were back at camp he was cleaning up his skull for a euro mount and the Havalon slipped and he had his hand in the wrong place (after a few minutes before saying "I...

    Replacing Stock on Rem 700

    Bell and Carlson Alaskan TI is what I have on my 700 since it's primarily a hunting gun and I wanted lightweight. They run about $260. If it's going to be a range gun mostly, I'd look hard at the Magpul Hunter which is also about the same price. I also have a Boyd's laminate I got for the 700 a...

    Any hunt talkers frequent rokslide?

    I am, though I don't really post there as frequently as I do here or other places on line.

    Why don't you carry a PLB?

    There is a subscription package as well as a month to month option. Whether any particular one is 'cheaper' depends on how many messages you are sending and how many months out of the year you would be using the service. I currently use the Freedom (month to month) plans and generally select the...

    Why don't you carry a PLB?

    The inreach will allow you to be tracked at intervals down to every two minutes I believe. There's a web interface your family can log into to see your position and send messages back and forth.
