    Pack size?

    Yep. Looks like we both hunt as true backpackers. That’s pretty much what I do. Only some exceptions for like 14,000 footers in storms or late season, but usually a Merino hoodie and puffy compressed to about a softball in my pack. I use the Mystery Ranch marshal, I thinks it’s also 6400 or...

    Pack size?

    Same. I only go with the clothes I’m wearing hunting, some layers, and a few pairs of underwear, which I rotate as well. Try to stay clean with baby wipes. Usually 5-7 days is when we start to get pretty rank, but I’ve done plenty of 10+ dayers on some good tags.

    Pack size?

    That's what I do. I leave a pair hanging in my tent to dry out completely, and wear the other pair out for that day. On colder hunts, I carry a 3rd pair of socks, that are thick wool socks for sleeping only…they do not go in boots.

    Hanging Steel Targets

    Hanging Steel Targets

    Weld a hanger on the rear of target and I bend some 1/2 rebar like a long S. Pretty much like a brake caliber hanger. I had a long ram target for fun, and plasma cutted holes, and use the rebar for hanging. I think welding the bracket on the back is cleaner.

    Spotting Scope for Range work

    I have one of the UHD gen 2 Athlons amongst other spotters. Idk if you’d be able to see holes through paper at 500…especially black paper. Steel yes. Paper…is iffy.

    Bow Tuning ??

    A reason why I like Bowtechs (deadlock )cam adjustment. You can tune in the field, without shims. Bare shaft is great starting place. I go out as far as 20 yards. Past that distance, error in technique tends to show on the tear, more than the arrow flight. Because your arrows fletching are a...

    South Africa against Israel

    I’m a sniper. Not a politician. I’m not getting anyone straight, as much as the old timers are going to fight themselves out of a weak foreign policy dick throwing match. A story of warriors as old as the beginning of time.

    South Africa against Israel

    I am referring to general orders. Specifically #6. There's no "actually." If you're command is told to leave by a hosting country after a political change. It happens. You leave. There is no need for "investigation." The DOD and State knows why. This is all diplomatic issues, again related to...

    South Africa against Israel

    Till gas prices go up. Maybe US companies lose access to lithium or other raw materials being mined…I know how you Californias love your solar… People have been fighting, trading and negotiating for resources since the great flood my guy. Other things are straight not negotiable. If Islamic...

    South Africa against Israel

    You wouldn't do anything in your day either. Why? Because it has nothing to do with individual fighters. If you start killing African nationals, you're going to the brig, and you potentially start an international incident. The DOD and state department are leasing resources from the locals...

    How many days do you hunt a year and what do you hunt mostly big gane wise ?

    I use to hunt a lot of days, the only thing that changed is now I do my scouting more, and I usually tag out without always needing to spend a week in the field, per tag. So, long story short, it depends. Could be 30 days a year, could be less. Depending on tags drawn, and how things go. This...

    Don't underestimate old guy strength

    It’s a medical generalization. It just means peak test is at this age to that age. Then it begins its taper off. Some people its severe, with gyno and fat gain, others it’s not so much. Simply put most guys in their 40s +, aren’t going to quit their day job and go to compete in the Olympics...
