Dunno why, but I got to keep pretty fresh felt on my rest or it'll squeak as I pull the arrow back coming to full draw. Gets worse the colder it gets. Sounds like you've got it located and it ain't the rest, but in case you haven't listened too hard...worth pulling it back and trying to pinpoint...
It's incredible to me that eastern states that have to beg folks to shoot enough deer require hunters to report their harvests, but western states that have to throttle down the demand for tags because of insufficient supply are still relying on folks that don't "hang up the phone the minute...
Put in with a group of 3 with a 3.66 average and we were unsuccessful for a general tag in the regular. Wanna say it drew around 3.33 last year? So I guess I knew it'd be close, but I may be dropping those free loaders next year!
I like Lowas, for whatever that's worth. As others have pointed out, brand recs on the internet are worth what you pay for em.
Re: insulated vs not...
For a while, I was between my last pair of uninsulated boots and the Renegades I've got now and just ran my Tibet Superwarms for everything from...
Almost like renewables development will come to public lands whether or not Hunttalk types HYPOCRITE in all caps or not. Ain't multiple use a bitch? (It is. I almost always come down on the wildlife side, but I ain't er'body and also...see the DROUGHT IN THE WEST THREAD.)
Anyway, support for...
I know you're making a point, but I don't. We've got a handful of acres and a pond at the office, and seeing as how we talk all the time about gateways to outdoor recreation, it's open to the public. DNR comes in and dumps dogfood trout in a couple times a year, so that folks in a pretty...
Senate companion was introduced yesterday by Senators Cramer, Rounds, and Hoeven. From Senator Cramer's website:
Landowner Easement Rights Act

I'm in NoVA and would help, but I'm assuming I'll have used all my vacation and kitchen passes getting a bull back here from Wyoming or Colorado, depending on the fickleness of the point creep gods.
But, I mean...yeah, I put in in Virginia too. Even talked all my buddies out of applying because...
Following up on Oak's post, here's the article from DC's major enviro/conservation trade publication on the report:
Many BLM grazing permits renewed without NEPA review, group says
Western Watersheds Project says its review of federal data shows that 54 percent of permit renewals last year...
The older I get, the harder it is for me to maintain any kinda useful purity standard. I've worked with CBD (gasp!) to protect public lands in the Boundary Waters and SCI to expand hunting on national wildlife refuges. My advice, especially in a world that increasingly thrives on pitting one...
Man, when I think about the stuff I killed when I first started with arrows that had to have been flying practically sideways, I say a little prayer and ask forgiveness.
I went down the Ranch Fairy/Ashby rabbit hole a couple years ago, and ended up coming partway back up to the surface for air...
When I changed my setup to get heavier a couple years ago, I did a bunch of bare shaft stuff to experiment and see where I'd end up re: weight on the front. But, once I settled on that, I only did a tiny bit of broadhead tuning to get just right on field point impacts.
I just got a new set of...
Hunters can fix this or have it fixed for us. Assuming the rest of the country is going to tolerate deleterious population-level impacts of the national symbol so we can keep dotting the countryside with poisoned carcasses seems far-fetched.
Very sobering read and I'm truly sorry y'all are going through it. I hope your daughter finds her way to some peace; hopefully, it sounds like she is on that path now.
When I came through all my health shit a couple years ago, about the only thing I had to say about it was this: "They say you...
LOL...I'd pay good money to see the faces of most on this board when they see their first sunrise over the Scatters.
Back when I was kicking around in that part of the world, LCHFC folks were starting rumors on the web about the "El Camino Gang" beating the hell outta anybody that wasn't local...
Sorry to hear of folks' losses. It's tough. A coworker just lost her mother that really did about all she could. Vaccinated, stayed home, was very very careful. Still don't know how she contacted it, best guess is an unvaccinated home nurse. But she was old enough that once she went in to the...
