Ok I have a cow moose tag this year. I've been trying to ask people about the size comparison between a cow moose and a bull elk....in general. I've killed plenty of elk from cows to six points so I know the general size and how much meat I'm gonna get. When I ask people to compare it to a cow...
Hey guys I'm new to the camper word. Only ever used a tent, but now that I have kids I decided on a camper for now. Anyway, our camper is designed to have two batteries, but runs fine off just 1. My question is: we are getting ready to buy another battery and I thought what if I just bought a...
Hey guys,
I'm looking at buying a bow for my daughter. She is 5 and bigger than most kids her age, but I also have a little 3 year old as well that is smaller than most kids her age. I was wondering if any of you have bought compound bows for your little kids? If so what is the weight they could...
Hey guys, I drew a cow moose tag in unit 78 of Idaho. I was wondering if anyone has any tips or suggestions for the area. If you could pm me that would be great. I haven't decided yet if I'm going to try with my bow or rifle. Probably bow for a few days and then if things don't go as planned...
Hey guys I'm looking at picking up a used bowtech tomkat for $150. Is it a good bow? It's for my wife to start. I have a pse stinger and love it. How does the tomkat compare if anyone has experience? I know if depends on condition and and string usage and I will check that over. Just wondering...
Hey Guys I drew out a November elk hunt. I will be at 9000-12000 feet in elevation. It will be with a muzzleloader. This is my first ever muzzleloader hunt with a new muzzleloader so I'm sure I will have some growing pains. Anybody have any good ideas or suggestions for the hunt? I've elk hunted...
Well I just got some good news and bad news about archery season for elk.....it appears that I won't get to chase bugling elk during the rut this year........because I did draw a limited entry muzzleloader hunt that has 60% harvest statistics and out of those elk killed 35% were 6 point or...
Hey guys I was wondering what your allowable grouping size is at certain distances? My general rule is 1 inch grouping out to 60 yards. Then everything after that should be 6 inches or less.
Example
20 yards 2"
40 yards 4"
60 yards 6"
80 yards 6"
ect.
I try to keep all my grouping under 4...
Hey Guys,
I'm not sure what to do with my hunting partner.....my brother. When I first started archery hunting I lived in Montana and my childhood friend is who I hunted with. We both worked out, shot, scouted, planned together. Then I moved to Idaho and so the last 4 years I have hunted with my...
So I've been shooting my bow for about 2 months and it is the same bow I've had for 6 years. My groupings were about double the size they have ever been all the way from 20-60 yards. I couldn't figure out what the heck was going on. I just thought it was me and I wasn't anchoring good, or I was...
Hey guys I just bought myself a muzzleloader for the up coming season. I've been lubing maxi balls by hand with bore butter and it's messy. I was thinking of doing 50% generic candle wax and 50% bore butter. Will this work? Or is candle wax gonna be bad for the gun?
Hey Guys,
I've got a guy who wants to sell me a muzzleloader, but the gun has no words or markings on it. So I was just curious if anyone here would know just from pictures what it is. And administrators feel free to move. I didn't know where I could post this. Thanks.
I just shot my bow for the first time this summer. Boy did it feel great to get ole Betsy out again. Got me excited for the strain! It's just around the corner!.......4 months haha
Hey Guys,
I'm looking to head to unit 63 for the late season hunt. According to google earth and having driven past there a bunch in my life it is almost completely flat. Anyone ever hunted it or have any tips? If you do you can send me a message just to give me an idea of what to expect. I know...
Hey guys I know the season is just around the corner and I can hardly wait! but yesterday I got an OLD fish finder from someone. It is a Lowrance system 2000 model 2100, but it doesn't have the transducer. I called the company and they were no help. Any idea where to get one. This thing is from...
I don't know anything about muzzloaders. I found one for sale can anyone tell me if it is good or legal in Idaho? http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=678&ad=41060268&cat=&lpid=
Ok guys I really need some help. I had a whisker biscuit on my bow for about 5 years. I put a new string on my bow last year and it shot fine. This year when I got my bow out and starting shooting it my arrows were coming out weird. So I paper tuned my bow, then did step back tuning. My bow is...
Hey guys my arrows are hitting my target at an angle. When I pull them out of my target they are angled so that the tip is to the right and the vanes are to the left. I read a bunch of forums about this and everyone has a different idea. One I read was that the target material(foam block) isn't...
I'm going to buy a new hunting pack in the next couple of weeks so that I can test it out before hunting season. I was shopping cabelas online and found the Browning Buck 2000 back pack and a few other ones in my price range, but none of the ones I want have reviews on them. Anybody know...
I'm starting to look around for a fish finder for when I am ice fishing. I was wondering what anyone on here is using. I know this is a Chevy vs Ford vs Dodge debate. I just wanted to get some ideas. I've been on cabelas website and googled a couple ice fishing forums and have a general idea of...
