Wichita region is one of the best in the country for whitetail, but it's mostly private. Going west you'll get into both species. There's quite a bit more public out west, mostly for the bird...

Yep, thanks for the help.

Nobody has answered my question in all this, though it' been fun. How do you find out what the codes mean? I don't think that's something top secret, correct me if I'm wrong.

This 2nd choice back door is new to me. I put in for PP 1st choice on deer and it says "491 NON RES DEER APP". I didn't put in for anything else so this means no tag. On elk it says "488 NON RES...

I would also appreciate some help on area 40. I was planning to try it for the 1st time this year for cows. However, I just noticed that the new regs eliminated the later cow season ON the national...

I have the bog pod tripod and the camera head attachment. I absolutely love it as a shooting rest. The flexibility of the legs to the left and right (rather than just length) is great for quick...

I go fishing with family every spring in Canada for a week. A couple of years ago my wife's grandfather brought a couple of his buddies. One of them was in his 80s and had been through some pretty...

You guys who are not happy, be sure to tell the G&F on their website. They actually ask for our input so let's at least give them the suggestions we think would be better. ...

I'm new to the MT game and need some help understanding how it works. If you are not drawn for a limited quota tag can you return your combo tag, or are you stuck with a hunt you may not want? If...

Wow, that's unreal. With all the negative press on their deer herd you can bet I won't be paying $520 for a tag. And I've been choosing them over MT for elk mainly due to the tag price. They may...

Way to go. Persistence pays off!

Oregon 450t for my money. Not bad on sale.

It's kinda nice to hear a discussion on rifle work. With all I the bow hunters tuning their bows I sometimes feel like an outcast working on my rifle.

Let us know how it turns out.

I'm anxious to hear how it turns out. Never used Sweets.

I agree with trying another scope before sending it off. It will tell you for sure if it's the barrel or the scope/rings/bases. Good luck, I know it's frustrating trying to pinpoint those types of...

I hunt them all in the east, and whitetail just can't be beat. The rush of a nice buck in bow range walking by your stand will never get old. When I go west I love to chase elk during the rut.

I don't really enjoy many of the shows either. I like the shows that resemble the kind of hunting I do. I want it to look real. I don't need to see a monster killed every episode if they are...

Before I purchased the Oregon 450t I was also looking at the eTrex 30. I called Garmin several times to find out about SD card capacity and I was told everything from 4 GB to 32 GB on each unit. I...

I have downloaded several hunt units for various states from BirdsEye. I created folders in Basecamp for each state and for each unit. Then they can be added and removed from your SD card as...

Just out of curiosity, when was that pic taken? It looks like it could have been any time in the last 60 years!

I probably didn't help the situation with my post. I was not trying to start an argument about class warfare. I am a financial advisor to high net worth individuals and have nothing against them. ...

Sorry, not sure what happened there. I was trying to reply to lineman's question about books.

I can understand not having internet access, but I would strongly recommend trying to find something to watch if at all possible. There are some decent books out there, but nothing can replace...

I have no problem with technology advancements like GPS, better clothes and boots, etc. You still need to be a very good hunter even if you have them. I do agree with the idea of hunting becoming a...

I taught myself how to reload last year. The internet was the only way I was able to do it. Youtube videos were the most help as reloading is certainly something you need to see to understand. The...
