    First hunt of the season amnesia.

    Yea when I got to the top and reached for my platform on the back of my saddle I laughed at myself also. Excitement gets to the best of us.

    First hunt of the season amnesia.

    Am I the only one who gets so excited to be hunting again I forget basic stuff? The other day was my first sit of the year and even after some practice sits I screwed the pooch.

    Saddle hunting after Back surgery

    I had a disc removal and fusion in 2014 for a T6-T7 herniated disc. No hardware just a plastic cage packed with bone. Unfortunately I have been and always will be in pain due to scar tissue and nerve damage but I hunt. The important thing for me was the procedure returned full function to my...

    Best budget crossbow?

    I use a Barnett whitetail hunter 2 and I am happy with it. I may replace it next year but only because I may get something with a smaller width limbs. It shoots great and launched my Grim Reaper straight through a doe last year.

    Heated Insoles??

    Yea they just fit but they do. I was surprised that they did. I contacted Wiggys before I bought them and asked what size and they said to get a large because I wear a size 12. I did what they said and they actually fit all my boots. Some looser than others but they work great for all.

    Heated Insoles??

    My Cabelas 1200 gram rubber boots or my lace up boots. My lease is extremely wet this year so it has been 100% rubber boots but now that it froze this last week I will switch to my lace up boots that are 400 gram insulation I think.

    Moving to southern Wisconsin... HELP!!!

    Welcome! I cant help with the hunting areas besides seconding the OnX or Hunt Wild WI app because I am in SE WI. AS far as clothing layering is very important. I prefer merino wool. Important to avoid cotton because it is useless if it gets a bit damp. Wool or synthetics are best. Also avoid...
