re: Who is using new gear/tactics for deer in '24
Posted by A_bear on 7/25/24 at 2:37 pm
I ran the hunt arsenal rzr 1.0 all last year and I love it. It bites hard into the tree so you don’t have to worry about it slipping, and the rope attachment is way better than messing with a cam buckle and strap.
For this season I added a few new setups. I decided I’m going to try 1 sticking and ...

That place will humble you quickly. Those “hills” are steeper than the ones I hunt in northern Missouri. ...

They don’t rut there.
Just kidding. On a serious note, the rut is around cinco de mayo.
You really want people online to tell you when to go sit in your stand? It’s public land man. Put your arse in a stand and see when the bucks chase does… that’s the rut. ...
re: What out of state hunts do y'all have scheduled this year?

[quote]Everyone is going Mizou. Is that the hot spot now?[/quote]
It’s definitely the hot spot for Louisiana residents. Been that way for the last 4-5 years. After this year, I’ll probably find somewhere else to go. I’m expecting Missouri to be really packed this year. ...

Northern Missouri November 1-15. Unless I kill one early, then I’m going to find a place to stay in Oklahoma and head over there until the 15th. ...
re: Hunters dont vote.
Posted by A_bear on 7/13/24 at 10:39 pm
I’ve already started telling people in my Missouri hunting group we have to early vote because we’ll be out of state for the election. I don’t know any hunters that don’t vote though. ...
re: Q: How often do you clean the guns in your safe?
Posted by A_bear on 7/12/24 at 5:37 am
Never for the ones I don’t use.
My benelli gets a few drops of CLP on the bolt to keep it running smoothly and a couple drops on the choke tube threads to keep them from seizing up. Occasionally I’ll run a bore snake down the barrel.
My hunting rifle will get the bore cleaned every couple years....
re: Extreme weather hunting stories
Posted by A_bear on 7/9/24 at 10:50 pm
I have a few so I’ll try to keep them short.
Once in the wax, 25-30mph winds, like 25°, accidentally beached my boat on a sandbar with my gf at the time. Had a buddy heater but the wind kept blowing it out. Miserable. Coastguard chopper rescued people that day within sight. She never hunted with m...

[quote]How cheap we talkin baw??[/quote]
I’d say 500 for the set. Everybody buys Sitka 40% off these days. It’s an $800 set with the 40% discount. So that’s 300 off of that. If you didn’t have the discount it’d be over $1,300...
re: Iowa Late Season Muzzleloader Hunt
Posted by A_bear on 7/8/24 at 7:59 pm
I’ve never hunted Iowa but I watch every deer hunting episode of the hunting public and I know they’ve put out a few videos over the years of late season muzzleloader hunting in Iowa with pretty good success. I would check those out because I remember an episode where Warb kills a buck in the snow a...
re: Side by side consensus
Posted by A_bear on 7/3/24 at 9:38 pm
My good friend is in a club in the spillway and he uses a can am commander to get around, and most other people in his club use can am side by sides.
I don’t own a side by side, but I had an outlander 650 for the past 6 years that never gave me any problems at all. I just upgraded this year to an ...
re: Jon Boat vs G3 & Great offer on Honda Pioneer. Which One?
Posted by A_bear on 7/3/24 at 4:11 am
If you go the jon boat route, eventually you’re going to want to go farther and explore more areas to fish. So I’d sell the sxs and get the G3, especially if you have access to other bikes for hunting.

re: How will you prepare and cook your black bear meat this fall?
Posted by A_bear on 7/2/24 at 7:00 pm
A friend of mine got a bear roast a couple years ago from someone he knows that went hunt them up north. I can’t remember if it was from a black bear or not though. We did a Mississippi pot roast recipe in a pressure cooker with it. That was the best wild game I’ve ever eaten. I’ve heard their diets...

[quote] Does your boat sway a lot while pulling it?[/quote]
No it pulls great. I took it on a few 4+ hour trips this spring and it doesn’t give me any problems. I do plan on moving the winch post forward though. I wanted to do that yesterday but had too much going on to mess with it. ...

Just this one, which is actually a prime example of what I’m talking about because there’s a ratchet strap as a temporary transom strap lol

[quote] it looks like the trailer is maybe too short for the boat[/quote]
Maybe so, but I had my boat custom built by prodigy and I can’t see them giving me a trailer that’s too short for the boat. A longer trailer would be more money, more mark up, and more money in their pocket. But it’s defini...
Specific, but maybe useful boat tip
Posted by A_bear on 6/25/24 at 7:29 pm
I’ve owned my boat for about 7 years, and I’ve been through at least 4 sets of transom straps. It has a lip on the bottom of the transom with little notches cut that you can bend for “trim tabs” and the lip cuts the straps. I bought a set of ratcheting transom straps this year to replace the last on...
