    Freezer Size?

    Can everyone tell me the cu ft size of your freezer and how many big game animals fit in it? Before last year\'s move, I sold my 2nd fridge. I need a freezer because of regular overflow of prepared meals and freezing water jugs. I might as well go in with the idea that I will at least fill my...

    First Lite Womens Clothing coming in July

    I found out today that First Lite will have 4 items for women starting in July. Best of all, they are NOT putting pink accent on it. One of the biggest complaints I hear women say about women\'s camo is manufacturers putting pink accent on everything for women. I have gradually replaced my...

    Wide Angle Trail Camera?

    I have a pair of 2013 Moultrie M-880. They are very good trail cams, but they do not have a very wide camera angle (large FOV). I want to set up a trail cam this summer on a beaver pond that I know the elk hit. This is 1 mile in. I will lock it up. So far, I have not had a trail cam stolen...

    After the Shot: Tracking

    Yet another newbie question. I have zero experience in this. I have followed tracks. I took the CO Advanced Bowhunting class where they did a blood trail mockup. Lets face it, I am way inexperienced. Plus, my low 53DW/24DL/436 grain arrow isn\'t as likely to get a complete pass-through as a...

    Field Dressing Tips

    Do you have a field dressing tip? I have never field dressed an animal or watched someone in the field do it. I have only watched videos over and over again, plus I practice using visualization. No matter the distance from the car, I plan to use the gutless deboning method. I could never find...

    Easy to get lost (misplaced)

    I am hoping this story helps people understand how important it is to learn map and compass skills and always take a map and compass with you. On Friday, I was driving on the forest service road to my camping spot. The area was surprisingly absent of campers. Perhaps due to the rains. A young...
