I was definitely rooting for him, if anything would cause total heart failure a 230” buck would. For a mortal like me just seeing the numbers of quality bucks he was looking at would push me over the edge!
CPW has just announced that it with be partnering with Lipton Soup Mixes starting in 2025. Each big game tag will be proudly printed onto a pouch of Lipton soup mix, flavor of your choice of course! This is the perfect partnership, for all of the hapless hunters going home empty handed and...
Cheap doesn’t mean low quality and unsafe. If it’s being sold widespread these days it’s most likely it’s been thoroughly vetted by the TMA because of how sue happy everyone is. Don’t feel like you need to spend a mint because it’s perceived to be a safer product. Use it properly as designed and...
It depends what kind you’re looking for, they’re in a bunch of different styles for a vast array of prices. The cheapest climbing sticks I always find are sold at Wal-mart and occasionally other big box stores after Christmas when they’re trying to get rid of hunting inventory and put things on...
A 180 is an awesome buck any day anywhere imo. I don’t think I could live with myself if I went home empty handed after passing a 180. From this side of the keyboard I’ll be envious, certainly not typing “why the heck would you shoot such a dink?!” lol good luck!
@Werty Mozambique, I’ve got permits for warthog, Nyala, waterbuck, common reedbuck, chobe bushbuck, and a buffalo lined up. I’d love a kudu but there are none in the part of the Zambezi delta where I’m headed. I’ll do a thread about it all when it gets a little closer, the whole thing came about...
My current treestand view. Sitting over a torn up trail that’s going between some mountain top meadows and drops off into a steep nasty hell hole. Not sure why I waste my time doing this because I’ve been told you can’t kill mule deer or elk from a tree stand! 😉 This year mule deer and bear tags...
You won’t jinx a thing by being over prepared, as the saying goes “better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it”
Good job on the stop rot planning, your taxidermist will thank you.
I’ve used a ghost blind some, only ever killed one deer from it. I love the concept of the things, but I always had deer getting behind me. Never had a position to back up to a juniper like that. If I may offer a suggestion, cut some of the darker green juniper branches that match your back...
I feel you on that Mt Dew thing, for me I would always get a Mountain Dew and a Butterfinger every time we’d come off the mountain and head into town. Then the clowns had to go and change the butterfinger recipe a few years back and they aren’t any good now. I’m still bitter about that…
I’m...
Just go, if you’re going in archery season the OTC archery tags are going away so it’s not like you’ll always be able to head to Colorado anytime you want. In general though just temper your expectations and know it can be incredible and can royally suck all at the same time. If you get your...
Kudos to this, especially #5. IMO The way I’ve seen some new people treated over the last few years it’s no wonder so many people have signed up and then not stuck around. If I had been treated like a punching bag like that I’d have hit the road too no matter what my intentions. Thanks
