Congrats, awesome deer! Grim reaper?

Permission to cross property lines to track a deer could be difficult to achieve. Those that abuse that current law use it to "track a wounded deer" into inaccessible property to kick out holding deer to areas where they otherwise have permission. You would have to put some kind of stipulation...

You could just wrap a lower piece of the lifeline around a climbing stick or your stand once you are up there to eliminate the entire length from moving when you move around up there.

It's going to be an EARLY RUT! ;)

NAP Apache bow sling is nice for carrying in/out if you have a long ways to go on a clear trail. I used it quite a bit when out elk hunting and walking on a pack trail. Once you get in the timber or are no longer on a trail, they are kind of worthless though trying to navigate through brush and...

2-3 years on a Wildgame camera, that's not bad...

I could see how that conversation with an insurance agent would go. "You should pay for these safelines to make sure I'm safe..." - hunter "You should use these safelines or you may lose some of your 'insurance discounts'...." -insurance company

I have a vortex, and I really like it. Can't speak to the accuracy of it, other than at my home shooting range, it matches up exactly out to 50 yards with the 100' tape I used to mark out from 10-80 yards. At 80 yards I have about a 1.5-2 yard difference. Nice compact, and it works.

x3 on Smartwool. Expensive, but they work great!

On a side note, you could look at buying the rope and carabiners yourself and may save some money as it is just a simple prusik knot, but from what I found, unless you need a thousand feet of rope to do all your treestands, it's usually cheaper to buy a premade set. If I remember right, the rope...

Best I found was around $30. I bought about 6 of them and just always had a couple in my pack for when I went to hunt and got most of them put on. But the piece of mind when I climb a tree hooked up to one of those with a little one at home is worth a lot more than $30.

The change in noise is attributed to the doppler effect. Same as a train coming at you has a higher pitched whistle vs. going away. Same as your arrows will be higher pitched coming toward you, but lower pitched going away, which is why it is harder to hear them going away, or at least...

It seems a little ridiculous to me, but per the FAQ / Q&A page on the Idaho game and fish website, it was specifically asked if they were legal or not. Because the blades can pivot/expand if pulled backwards, they are therefore a "mechanical" head. I don't understand the discrimination... surely...

Ditto on the Ramcats. Penetrate like crazy and are some bad medicine on deer. If only they were legal for my Idaho elk hunt. :'(

Humboldt, Fort Dodge, and Webster City all have great bow clubs with good 3D shoots. Humboldt and Fort Dodge have up to date facebook pages and/or websites. Humboldt Archery Club ; July 18th/19th, September 19th/20th Webster County Bowhunters (Fort Dodge) July 18th/19th, August 29th/30th...

So you are asking how to make a muddy creek not muddy? I've heard of mud walking shoes, that are like snow shoes but for mud (I think there is a patent on this even) you could put on over waders. That might work, but I'm not sure how well they work. If it's real muddy, and your mud/snow shoes...

Now I'm not much one to be confrontational and don't mean to steer this thread off topic, but I am a little put off by your comments about Fort Dodge. I realize it's no Orange City, or Pella, but I moved here a few years ago, and I have had nothing but good experiences living here, and in the...

Not that I disagree with anything stated above, I too have an appreciation for the 'old way', but this conversation has been going on since the dawn of time. It's just a matter of at what time a given generation draws the line in the sand and says 'this is as much technology I'm willing to have...

x2 They have some great stuff, and I am now a believer in merino wool. However, I only have experience with their lighter weight stuff. I will be planning on buying some heavy weight stuff this year.\ Also, their customer service is pretty good. I ripped my pants on an elk hunt a couple years...

SMH? Shaves My Ham?
