My hunting partner and good friend from back in Oklahoma, Cody Blundell got a crack at a buck he had over two years of trail camera pictures of. He was not the only person who had access to hunt the property so he kept this buck very low on the radar only telling a few close to him. Before...

Here is a couple of pics of the final taxidermy of my uncle\'s KS archery buck from last year. The buck grossed 183 and netted 172 Pope and Young.

I\'ve heard a lot of good things about Prana Zion pants. Some hunting outlets are starting to carry them in their stock. I picked up two pairs today, $43 each and free two day shipping if you can catch your size. Backcountry.com <!-- m --><a class=\"postlink\"...

I just picked up a new Fenix Headlamp this last week. I had lost my Princeton Tec headlamp last elk season and replaced it for the remainder of the season with a cheaper headlamp. I currently own a PD30 tactical flashlight that I carry in my truck and it has been a really solid light so after...

I recently have been shopping for a new release. I actually have been in the market for a year or so but just recently started taking some action. I ordered a Carter Like Mike and an HTM inline last week. Shot them over the weekend and didn\'t really care for either. The Like Mike is a nice...

Do you nock tune? If so, how do you personally do it and any recommendations?

I\'m in the market for a GPS chip (primarily Colorado and Wyoming). I\'m just starting to research the differences between what is out there. Looking for input on your thoughts, pros/ cons, preferences and why you selected the chip you did. Appreciate any input given.

This year I picked up a leftover Eastern Wyoming Whitetail tag (rifle tag) due to the fact I had some good private access and a friend inviting me to come along. Long story short, I did not make it out until this weekend due to other commitments. My friend Dan put his tag on a 170\" buck the...

Headed to Oklahoma to bowhunt the early part of the rut. Have meetings in Dallas through Thursday then headed up to my old stomping grounds in SE Oklahoma. Hoping to keep a semi-live updates throughout the hunt. Good luck to all getting out soon.

Here is a buck a guy from back home killed in NE Oklahoma. This was opening weekend of muzzleloader season and Ray is strictly a gun hunter. Buck of a lifetime for sure.

I was really looking forward to this elk season (being my fourth season) and going in with a total of about 15-20 days of total elk hunting in the previous three years still seeking to draw on my first elk. Of my three previous seasons I\'ve experienced successful hunts with my partners on the...

Recently I purchased a KUIU load strap accessory for my Ultra model pack. I have a 3000 bag that I use and generally use this 50 lb sand bag for training. I was really intrigued when they put the load strap out there earlier this year. Very easy and fast to switch out. Anybody else use this...

I know, I know another score this buck thread. Alright, I\'ve watched this deer the last few weeks and obviously he is still growing and has time to grow. What do the hard core mule deer hunters here think he will end up score wise. Consider growth for another month through the end of August.

Since it\'s that time of year, I\'m usually looking at honing my pack list by searches of past threads on the web. Last year, I did a 5 day spike camp and I was very comfortable during the whole trip. My pack rode well on trip in and I had enough of everything and did not end up with much more...

I\'m currently looking for a collapsible water container for spike camping this year. I\'ve looked at the Platypus models but they seem to have mixed reviews on how well they seal. I\'ve looked at ebay as well and found some really inexpensive ones that look decent for $5-$15 dollars. Anyone...
