    Trying Something Different This Year

    This would for general or otc rifle hunts. This year specially will be a mid October hunt for 5 to 7 continuous days. Usually my hunts have been in November. I like wall tent hunting Ut the problem is it’s easy for it to become wall tent camping. I like cutting firewood and camp chores so if...

    A Tale of Two Friction Knots: Taut Line vs. Blake’s Hitch

    I use this on regularly because it lets me pull a line tight and keep it that way. It’s also easy.

    Current state of affairs on HT

    Looking at the past with rose colored glasses is a possibility but not one I can evaluate since I’ve only been around a couple of years but it seems possible. I also think I am less likely to be nasty since my real name is attached to my comments. If I had the anonymity of calling myself...

    Start it up!

    Good luck! I hope you fill most of those tags- especially the one for the disabled vet! Sounds like you you have quite the season planned.

    Trying Something Different This Year

    I did, but I'm not sure it counts. I killed a bull on the first morning of my first ever hunt. We hunted the rest of the season and didn't see any elk after that. The next year we saw a legal bull and a cow or two preseason but none during season.

    Trying Something Different This Year

    The last couple of years I've set up a base camp including wall tent and hunted out of it. I tried to be mobile and cover many spots but I feel like I was too invested in my basecamp. Now Ive seen elk this way, but I think I'm leaving bulls on the mountain because I'm too ready to get back to...

    Current state of affairs on HT

    I think people are affected by the current affliction that is plaguing our nation-the belief that if your don't agreed with me completely and on all issues, then you are on the other side so I am 100% right and you are 100% wrong. This is combined with people getting information from an echo...

    I stopped contributing to my 401K, tell me I am wrong...

    That seems like the worst terms on a 401k I’ve ever heard of. I’d be tempted to agree with you that investing through other means would be better. Just look at and understand the rules of IRA’s (Or whatever your preferred alternative is) and the investment caps on them before you jump ship.

    Bad news for Beau

    Praying for them. I hope this is one of the GFM drives that greatly exceeds the goal.

    Sold: Weatherby Mark V Altitude 6.5 Creedmoor

    No longer available. I was very fortunate and blessed to win a rifle from a local RMEF raffle. I now find myself with a Weatherby Mark V Altitude in 6.5 Creedmoor, which is probably the nicest rifle I’ve ever owned. The problem is, I’m wanting to go a different direction on a new rifle. It has...

    Caffeine and accuracy

    I support the blind test where your wife or coffee shop gives you your coffee without you knowing if it’s high test or not. Do it for two weeks or more so that the sample size is large enough to smooth out bad days that are due to other causes that may skew the data. I bet is it makes a small...

    Best Bang for your Buck

    A quick search on Google found a Savage Axis in 7mm-08 for $270. That's what I would tell him to get. It will work fine and is cheap. Put a reasonable scope on it and you'll be able to kill any deer in West Virginia. Or substitute any of the other calibers they're offered in above 243.

    goHUNT-Randy-onX

    I use both and have wondered when they would become adversaries. I believe there are legitimate competitors for OnX. The competition for GoHunt is inadequate at best. I find myself with one screen open to GoHunt and one open to OnX while looking for new units.

    Tag welfare

    I’ll comment on the landowner tag issue. My personal opinion is that we should incentivize large landowners to view wildlife as a valuable commodity. There should be a threshold they have to meet to get a landowner tag so that they aren’t being antagonistic towards game animals or are helping...
