    Satellite communications

    Inreach mini. Syncs with my phone through Garmin app. I've sent texts from the mountains and 100 miles off the coast of So Cal while fishing. Works fine

    Boots?

    I recently ordered a pair of Nevada GTX uninsulated (hunting in California). I called the day after I ordered, and someone picked up, gave me good info and was very accommodating. Haven't used them for a true customer service issue, but based on my personal experience, and my hunting partner...

    D14 question re tags other than deer

    I have a D14 general tag still to fill. Does anyone carry tags for any other animals, just in case? Bear, hog, etc.? I'm mainly hunting in Big Bear. I know, not too impressive but it's where my friends hunt and I enjoy going into town when boil in a bag ain't cutting it.

    Broadhead Selection

    The Stinger 2 is a narrow overall cut, maybe 1 inch?? So I'm sacrificing overall initial damage for perceived increased accuracy. These fly extremely straight, similar to my Rage Trypan mechanicals. But the customer service from Magnusen is exceptional so far.

    Broadhead Selection

    Dropped my first buck with the Magnusen Killer Bee Stinger 2 last week. Blades were nicked up pretty good (one miss, one hit). Emailed the company about blade replacement yesterday (Saturday) and got a response today. They're sending me new blades. Excellent customer service.

    Wife not into "game" meat

    Made tacos. Could tell it wasn't beef but SHE LIKED IT. Gonna make a few dishes in the next week or two and just slowly incorporate it into recipes.

    Backpack - large or small?

    Ok, I took my Alps Commander to the range yesterday just to see how it felt shooting my bow with it on. No issues out to 55 and 65. I'll be taking it out next week when I go back to fill my second tag. Thank you everyone

    Wife not into "game" meat

    My wife may have issues with venison, but she's smoking hot 51 yo and an awesome lady otherwise. But I understand the comment... ha ha

    Backpack - large or small?

    So we're usually within a 2-3 miles. Rarely if ever are we further away. It's just So Cal deer hunting. We park at the trailhead and walk in. There's deer within half a mile, higher and deeper for larger bucks. But I guess you're right. Gonna take my large pack to the range tonite to see...

    Backpack - large or small?

    So I recently got my first buck ever. Archery. I've always wondered this question. I use an Alps pursuit pack, it's like a day pack. Holds kill kit, food/water, some limited survival and first aid. No big deal. After I cut up my deer, I could fit two quarters and head on there. It's not...

    Wife not into "game" meat

    Funny, I just realized I had Buck Buck Moose in my amazon wish list. Didn't buy it because I had yet to harvest my own deer. I suppose it needs to be moved to the shopping cart!

    Wife not into "game" meat

    I was wondering about brining, which I do every year with our turkey for Thanksgiving. I thought about doing it for the back straps, but then read the idea about seasoning the day before, which is similar. Brining I'm assuming would just add more moisture, plus the flavor of the salt/sugar or...

    Wife not into "game" meat

    Great info everyone. The only non-ground meat is the backstraps, which I'm deciding between skillet and resting, or smoking to maybe 115-120, then quick sear. I saw the post about 135. IMO, that's a little too done for me. I prefer 120 and resting. Gives me a good rare to medium rare. At...

    Wife not into "game" meat

    First off, I'm no expert at game meat preparation but I consider myself a very good cook. I've made venison stew once, let it slow cook all day. Daughter had three helpings. Wife had one, was not a fan. I've had elk burgers, did not turn out well because of low fat content. Recently, friend...

    Restoring cast iron

    I've done it with the easy off oven cleaner in a bag method. hose off after, dry completely and hit it again and again until every speck of old seasoning is gone. Very easy. I have also sanded some of my larger new Lodge pans. You don't need it for older Griswold or Wagner pans. They should...

    tagged out for 2023 AO

    It’s an older Prime Logic. 2018? I love it. Heavier than most. But I like the dual cams and centered grip. I feel like it’s more balanced on release.

    tagged out for 2023 AO

    Found a small 2x2 in velvet. He had one other twin with him and a third deer but could not confirm head gear. 58 yard shot, hit him a little further back then I wanted. Bedded 10' away, put second shot into him and done. Tagged and bagged. Kept hunting for a day since I also have D14...

    Dog eyes

    Had to put our older dog (on the right) down yesterday (8/22/23). Had her for 15+ years. She was probably at least 16 yo. Saddest thing I've had to deal with for as long as I can remember. This one is gonna hurt for a while.

    Visiting Montana

    I drove to MT in Aug 2021 with my daughter and two friends. Camped at Western Glacier Camp Ground. I tried booking stuff on east side more than six months before and everything was booked solid. Western Glacier was fine. So entering GNP at I believe 0600 costs money. Have to have a pass...

    Jet Boil new for me

    FWIW, I ordered the bucket of Mtn House (30 meals?) on Amazon Prime day. It was about $110 versus $148. Great deal.
