Re: Turkeys

Colton and I drew out on area lake Benbrook. It is fairly close( 45 min. ) and there are some birds. You are limited to archery. We have had good luck with the old FOC broadheads so I guess that is what I I use. I am really looking forward to it. Permit is for first half of season, starting Mar. 30t...

Re: Wild Game Cooking

I got a third place!!😁 it wound up being 15 pots of chili in it so it wasn’t a huge competition but … and yes I put some bea...

Re: Packing deer out

When we elk hunted in Colorado, we hunted in a Wilderness area. That means on foot or on horseback. Not being much of a horseman, A good pack frame is your buddy. Hind on a bull is ballpark 90 lbs. All the load I could do . On deer a friend told me if you field dress them, cut the legs at the knees,...

LEUPOLD! smaller, lighter, and much brighter than any others. Just get one and be done with it. Life is too short to complicate things. AND....the only warranty that may be better than Excalibur.(and the best part is you wont have to use it) The only down side to Leupold is that you will become very...

Re: Wool pants

When we were going to Colorado most years, I bought a pair from the Surplus place here in town( I think they were Swedish) they worked great and snow would pretty much brush off and not soak thru. Some how hanging in the closet 20 years they have shrunk up pretty bad. Not sure what happened.😎
