    Flea Market find

    I've always enjoyed reading the old books on hunting and fishing. Right now I am reading Book of the Black Bass by James Henshall, M.D. circa 1889. Fly fishing for bass is a favorite of mine and it is great to see how the old timers did it without all of the new tech.

    My bow broke.

    There is a lot to be said for a new bow and have heard alot of good things about Samick and others however if you do a little research on ebay you can find some fantastic buys on vintage recurves that in my opinion are alot sexier then these new production models and most have withstood an age...

    Hottest opener ever?

    On our scouting trip into the Little Belts this weekend we didnt see or hear a single grouse the whole day. That really worries me because after all...the grouse are there for those of us who fail on elk lol

    This is my buddy Leo and his latest kill. He is a phenomenal pheasant and duck hunter but hasn't learned yet to release after retrieval.

    Elk size pictures

    I have only 1 season in so far hunting elk after moving up from the flatlands, that being said if its legal and steps into my shooting lane within the proper range it's brown down.

    Day Pack must haves

    This will be my 2nd year hunting in Montana and last year proved my old cheap backpack that always hung next to my deer stand in Missouri was woefully inadequate for the task up here. I bought the Eberlestock H31 day pack and reading through all of your lists for must have items is very...

    First Wood Arrow Build

    Unfortunately cant share the slo mo video of the arrow but here are a few snaps of its flight. I cut off an 1 1/2" and it is still a bit nock left so I am going to shave off another 1/2" tonight. If that is straight then 3 shafts will have the Zwickie Eskimo broadheads and then I will shave...

    First Wood Arrow Build

    I made sure of the placement for the nicks vs grain alignment, I shoot the target everyday so nothing hard in it. My first thought was because there is that extra 4” hanging out there with that 190gr tip made it too weak but needed an expert opinion lol. Thanks for the advice wytex

    First Wood Arrow Build

    The shaft is still the original 33" and I have a 29" draw. I was wanting to verify where I was at before cutting off any length. I figured tonight I would cut off 3" on the next one to see where it is at. Thanks for the info

    First Wood Arrow Build

    Ok test arrow didn’t go so well. Can someone explain to me why a wood arrow rated for my bow would snap like this on impact with the target? Is it too weak? Possible defect in the wood? I was bare shaft testing so only a nock and a 190 gr field point. It obviously snapped to the left. HELP!?!?

    First Wood Arrow Build

    Let my son do the cresting on 6 of them. Made a manual cresting machine so I spun the shafts while he painted. Not the right kind of acrylic but it’ll work. I think Steven did an excellent job considering its difficult for him to hold his hand steady anymore. I love being able to involve him my...

    Why my pack sucks: Kifaru, Stone Glacier, Exo, Seek, Mystery Ranch, Kuiu, etc.

    I have the Alps Commander frame and pack for hauling out the meat but have yet to find a running pack that I am comfortable with on price and that actually works for me. I'm starting to think its crazy for leaving the Alps in the truck and having to hump out with a leg to get it and not just use...

    First Wood Arrow Build

    Thanks for the advice. Very nice looking arrows. Would love to learn how to foot some shafts at some point in the future. I will be eventually be trying other woods and styles but for now these will suffice this season.
