    Have you tested your scopes ability's to gather light?

    I always look through my scope at dawn so I can see before my naked eye can. S&B pmii

    Sea level

    I don’t think the water is rising, the barrier island is eroding away. They import sand to the beaches to prolong the inevitable. Damming/ diverting the rivers probably hasn’t helped

    Tracking deer with no blood

    if I made the shot I thought I did, I’d expect to at least find more blood on the arrow. I just don’t know.

    Hunting knives

    One thing I noticed about butchering game. I hardly see anyone using a honing steel out in the field; most users go straight to the stone. I’ve watched professionals go to a steel 3 or 4 times before finishing butchering a bull…

    Hunting knives

    This is the blade profile I’ve been wanting to try. I’ve been contemplating between the ESSE JG5 and the TOPS camp creek.

    Hunting knives

    What are y’all’s favorite hunting knives? Not for killin’ , but for skinnin’. If you could take one blade to cut up a deer with out on the field, what would you bring?
