    Boot Recommendations

    All, I'm rocking some 5 year old Wolverine boots with 600 g insulation. I can't keep my feet warm for the life of me on early morning sits. My family is asking me what I want for Christmas, and what I'd really like is a nice pair of hunting boots. I've been looking at Danner, Irish Setters...

    Should I stay or should I go? Public Land Hunting

    All, I'm hunting public land for the first time this year. I've probably spent 80 hours scouting a couple different tracts before the season opened and I've hunted twice. For my last hunt I was setup on a ridge top above some steep ravines. This ridge top bordered some fields with prairie mix...

    Help me with truck bed dimensions

    All, I've been without a truck for the last few years after I sold my Dodge Dakota. Now I'm looking to purchase again. My budget is small(under 10k). I need something that can fit a car seat and has 4x4. I like the idea of a full sized truck, except they get terrible gas mileage. I've also...

    Picking a used Mathews

    All, Last year I killed my first deer/buck with a bow - a hand me down Mission UX2 from my brother. The bow worked fine for me, but I've built my own set of heavier arrows and I'd like to purchase a used Mathews for myself this year. Based on what I could find, the UX2 is rated for 308 fps, has...
