    New Boot Care

    Thanks for the replies, I have ordered some of the Lowa brand waterproofing and leather conditioner, also I did read the care advice but it wasn't clear whether I needed to do it before the first use or not. On all my gore tex rainwear I only use waterproofing after water stops beading up but it...

    New Boot Care

    Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but I tried searching the forum and couldn't really find an answer...but when you buy a new pair of boots do you typically apply waterproofing and/or leather conditioner before your initial use? Or do they come from the factory ready to go and the...

    Need a new archery target

    I bought one of the Outfitter size block targets and it has lasted me several years of mostly shooting field tips, last year I changed up my draw weight, went to a heavier spined arrow and had trouble tuning my broadheads, a week of shooting broadheads pretty much destroyed the side that I shot...

    Canned Venison

    Canned is definitely one of my favorite ways to eat venison, great way to use up tough cuts of meat and you also never have to worry about your freezer going out! Great thread, I've definitely learned of some new things to try in here, too bad I only have 2 jars left from last year at the moment!

    6.5 Grendel for Elk Hunting

    I shot a whitetail with my 6.5 Grendel using the 123 grain SST two years ago...I hit him right behind the shoulder and he ran 150+ yards, took me a long time to find him...I was convinced I had made a poor shot as the blood trail was nonexistent. I spent 4 hours that night after dark trying to...

    Orion coolers!

    Can you ever find these on sale? or do you pretty much expect to pay retail on them? I checked out their website and found the 20% discount they showed for last years colors but it appears that they don't have any of those in stock.

    Mystery Ranch Metcalf

    I bought a Metcalf last season and I would recommend getting the rainfly, I hunted one day with wet snow and by the end of the day my stuff was pretty damp...I'm sure if you were in a heavy rain your stuff would get pretty wet...I'm planning on picking one up soon, or possibly cutting the one...

    Good books for the backcountry

    Desert Solitaire by Edward Abbey American Buffalo by Steve Rinella The Old Man and the Boy by Robert Ruark Campfires in the Canadian Rockies by William Temple Hornady...I enjoy reading outdoor themed books when I'm out there if you can't tell

    Fletching question

    May not be what you're looking for but I bought one of those red bohning fletching jigs a few years ago and had terrible luck trying to get decent results with it, I ended up buying a few packs of the bohning heat shrink quickfletch that you submerge in hot water to fletch your arrows with. I've...

    Problems with the Winchester model 70 extreme weather?

    I just bought a used extreme weather off gunbroker recently, I haven't shot it yet but replaced the trigger spring (put a 2.5# spring in) ordered a new scope and rings for it and hope to get it mounted up next week sometime...I read those same reviews before I ordered this one but ultimately I...

    Thanks, I may try one out...I'd love to swing for the VX5 but the VXR is a little more in my price range

    VX-R 3x9x40

    Thinking about going with one of these with the ballistic Firedot reticle for my 30-06...anybody have any experience with the VX-R line of scopes? Is the glass the same quality as the VX3i line of scopes? Thanks

    Best Space Saving Upgrade?

    Sleeping pad seems to be a big one then...MVRK28 I also have a Prolite Plus, I'll have to try your method...never thought about that...I figured for my purposes switching from a synthetic bag to a down bag would be one area I could improve but not sure how much room it would actually save me...I...

    If you were going to spend the money to upgrade one item in your backcountry camping or hunting kit to conserve space in your pack what would it be?

    Lazy Friends

    Lots of great advice here, I will say after several years of talking about it that last fall my hunting partner and I finally decided to take the leap and despite being intimidating trying to figure out where to go and what to do you just have to go for it...we had a great time and it was much...
