Hey everyone, had a quick question. I’m interested in attempting to smoke some whole whitetail quarters (front and hind) but I was wondering about meat preparation. I assume trim silver skin and fat that you can get to but what about the glands and such? Any other tips on preparing the meat or...
This game seemed easy at first, and then I tried to think of my list... here it goes though lol
1) 12 gauge (most versatile)
2) 9mm hand gun (my favorite ccw)
3) 6.5 CM bolt (med game hunting and LR target)
4) AR15 in 223 (fun to shoot and can be loaded for varmints to target to self defense)...
From one Florida hunter to another, congratulations. A legal public land buck of any size is an accomplishment in FL, let alone a mature one like you took. Enjoy!

I’ve only watched the deer one so far but they got just about every scrap you could and if I remember correctly they talked about total yield at the end. I assume the elk will be a similar video. Hope this helps!
Awesome thanks for the heads up I’ll check them out.
I was looking into the traverse as well but Sitka rates it as a warmer pant. It’s rated the same as the mountain pant
No I haven’t had the chance to get down to Bass Pro (closest and best I’ve got) but I’ll have to. It seems that glass is a very personal opinion. I almost wish there weren’t so many options.
Any experience with the BX-2 Acadias?
I may have to suck it up and order a few different pairs to give them a try. It seems like I’ve heard good and bad opinions on just about every pair out there except the Therons
Alright so stay away from diamondbacks unless they’re the HDs. Anyone know what the Theron Wapitis go for? Preferably both versions, I need to message Schmalts but figured I’d ask here as well
Thanks everyone so far for the suggestions. Seems like I’ll be looking at Theron, Diamondbacks, and Meopta. Any suggestions for maybe some higher priced optics that I could look for used?
Looking to buy a set of 10x binoculars for a WY antelope hunt this year. My only constraint is budget, I’d like to keep it at around $200. So far I’ve been looking at Vortex Diamondback HDs, and the Leupold BX-1 McKenzie. Does anyone have experience with these or have any other suggestions? Also...
Yeah I feel like I’ll have to go with two different pants. For warm pants I was starting to look at the ascent, traverse, and mountain pants, but I’ll look at apex as well. What makes it difficult is there’s nowhere around me to get my hands on them so it’s gonna be an order and try process
Looking for opinions on which pair of Sitka pants would be good for me. I primarily hunt in Florida so the weathers very warm. However I’d like to find a pant that would also work for hunting October/November CO or WY (MAYBE once a year) It might be a stretch to find one that does both, so I’m...
