Has anyone used a mini wood burning stove for boiling a pot of water or cooking? I've seen a couple different ones that are very light (a couple pounds or less) and I'm curious to hear anyone's experience they've had with them.

I'm taking my Dad on a muzzleloader elk hunt this fall. I'll have the ol stick n string b/c that's more my style. But my question is, what weight bullet/manufacturer do you use and how many grains and what type powder do you use?

I am looking at switching to the G5 Montec broadheads(100gr). I have always used the original Muzzy 3-blade 100 grain broadheads. I am at the point of either ordering more of them or switching. Seems like the G5 Montecs are pretty popular and I like the idea of being a one piece broadhead. With...

If you use a decoy for elk hunting the back country, or if you would use one, would you carry a full size decoy like the Montana decoy or the smaller, lighter Heads Up decoy? Has anybody tried both and noticed any comparable difference success wise?
