Danner, are not the boots they were. Last pair fell apart. Bought crispi, sole came completely off at 6 months. Got pair of Schnees, survived well this season,but to soon to brag about them, but love them so far.
Got browning citori with trigger problems . Going g thru tuscon area in late January thinking good time to drop it off. At this point think having mechanical triggers installed will solve problem
Went chukar hunting for first time. Been wanting to for a long time. Had great time. Hunted two weeks with two setters. They definitely deserve the title devil birds
I've gone back and forth for over 40 years. Seems like first couple years with new dog i get focused on training and polishing the dog. Then get some balance back. Still love big game but a dog only lives for a short time.
The one with goggles is an assassin on bird. The other is coming along, but still takes out a covey occasionally just as I'm arriving. Especially if it involves me and a long steep hike
I wonder though if it could still have a positive impact. One, as a value statement, and two, some of us are naturally law abiding citizens. I've been bow hunting for 55 years. I believe there is a huge problem.
I started getting severe cramps at night after hunting at about age 55. I mean bone twisting cramps that were complete torture. Lots of water and liquid IV seems to keep it at bay. I think it's from improving hydration, but now I'M up all night peeing so I never really get an opportunity to...
Absolutely ,terrain is an issue and big flats make it tough for bows or open sight rifles. Requires uses different tactics. But most of my friends that shoot antelope with today's compound are doing it effectively out 100 yds. Getting within 100 yds rutting antelope is typically very difficult.
Just for clarity. Shooting a antelope with a compound is not that hard. With a recurve it's damm hard. With a compound it's really not any harder than rifle hunting if you know what going on.
