    Chest Waders for Waterfowl

    I am new to waterfowl hunting and with that I am looking for chest waders. I was just wondering what everyone recommends. I don't mind paying more for quality but at the same time, I don't want to pay $300+ for a pair if they'll rip or become unusable just as easy as a cheaper pair. Any...

    MT elk hunting

    My group hunt looks like it has turned into a solo hunt, so it'll just be me travelling across the country to hunt. To top it off I have never even seen the Rocky Mts. or a wild elk in person before so it seems like an impossible task to actually harvest a public land bull elk. I am just...

    Looking for a vet

    I don't think differences was the right word to use on my part. However you mentioned "common hunting related injuries" and that's what I meant!

    My first wild boar

    My first hog! This boar came in at 400lbs! I was watching an old corn field that the pigs were destroying and out of the thickest, nastiest stuff this monstrosity gets up just before dark! Had to wait for about an hour for him to get into a clearing in the corn where I had a clear shot at his...

    New archery hunter ?'s

    I'm looking at buying a bow but since I am new to this, I just need some advice. Should I buy a cheaper bow and look at upgrading in a few years or should I just get a top-of-the-line bow now so that I'll have a fancy piece of equipment for a long time?
