    Exodus vs Spartan vs Tactacam??

    Thanks for all the feedback! Yeah, the used Muddy/StealthCam have been 50/50 on reliability, and with my few opportunities to get into the woods, I need something better for sure. I’m active military, and I’ve heard Tactacam offers a STELLAR military discount, so I’m likely going that...

    Exodus vs Spartan vs Tactacam??

    Choosing between the cheaper models from each brand (Rival, GoCam, Reveal of some title), what are you choosing and why? I prefer Verizon, but it’s not a requirement. A decent solar option is a big plus. Currently testing a mixed bag of heavily used Muddy/Stealth, but finding they’re too hit &...

    OG Lone Wolf sticks to Poor Man Beast’s

    Haven’t weighed them, but I’d ballpark close to a full pound. They’re much more manageable at this length. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2023 Hunt Plans?

    Oh I entirely agree. There’s still going to be some great hunts to be had, but OTC is soon to be going away. For those that haven’t been building points in various states, I suggest you start! Trust me, I get the challenges. I’m a NR that started later than I should have. I know I’m going...

    2023 Hunt Plans?

    Don’t take it for granted. Talked to CO reps, and they told me they were directed to find a draw plan that doesn’t involve OTC in the next 2 seasons. There’s other 1-2 year options still. But Colorado is likely to no longer be a fallback plan. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    2023 Hunt Plans?

    Got the shipping notification for my K4 too! Spring turkey and fall whitetails here in northern Va, and I may head out to the national forests on the west side of the state. Louisiana fishing trip the first week of June, then September elk if I draw NM or CO OTC…one or the other, but I’m going...

    OG Lone Wolf sticks to Poor Man Beast’s

    I agree, but I like the safety aspect of double steps, especially climbing down in the dark. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    OG Lone Wolf sticks to Poor Man Beast’s

    If anyone wants additional pictures or info, just let me know. Also, switched all attachments to USA Amsteel from Free Hang. Just received them all today, and haven’t had a chance to get them in just yet. It looks awesome though! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    OG Lone Wolf sticks to Poor Man Beast’s

    One sticking just isn’t for me, but still wanted to reduce weight. Decided to rebuild my circa 2010 LW sticks. I’m a pretty big fella (6’4”, #260), so safety is a legit concern. Main goals: weight reduction, double steps, inline stacking, 22” step to step. To me, the weight reduction holes...

    What mapping software,Apps, and tools do you use!?

    Switched from OnX to Spartan Forge this year, and it’s still improving, but I like it so far. The weather data has been pretty exact from what I’ve seen so far. A few of the areas I have access to are very small unit specific (daily unit sign in/out, etc) so I’ve been using Avenza for that...

    Assistance needed | Red dot scope for turkeys

    Not a red dot per se, but I have a Vortex Crossfire II with illuminated reticle on my AR, and I love it. Lots of brightness adjustability, user friendly, and a fantastic warranty at a very reasonable price point. I think you’ll be plenty happy with either choice though. Sent from my iPhone...

    New Gear for 2023, Go!

    Upgrading from 2009 Trophyline Ambush saddle to CGM Cobra or Cruzr XC, and modifying a set of old LW sticks to a poor man’s Beast replica. Already made the move to a lighter total arrow weight with a higher FOC. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    TL Covert 2.0 vs Cruzr XC?

    Have an old school TL saddle (circa 2009ish) and looking to upgrade to something easier to hike in with, a rope bridge, new & improved, etc. Like the high back support without being a 2 panel, but concerned with the leg strap comfort. Considering TL Covert 2.0 vs Cruzr XC. Rarely see the two...
