The lost art of still hunting
eaglemountainman replied to Northcountryman's topic in Big Woods Hunting
All good advice. If you think you're moving slow, slow down. Lose the sling. Hunt with the sun at your back. Always, stop near a tree or sapling to use as a rest. If conditions are dry and noisy, or crusty snow, move when the wind blows. Be still when it doesn't. It's great if you can hunt into the wind, but if I did that where I hunt, I'd walk in a 60 foot circle all day. I do use milkweed fluff to stay aware or the wind however. A couple/few times a day, in an area that looks especially promising, I'll take a seat on a rock or log for a 1/2 hour or so to stretch my back out. It also gives my eyes a bit of a break and I feel fresher when I continue on. Been hunting like this my whole life. My dad and gramp taught me how. I may not see game everyday, but I have a great time every time I go out. And I have been very successful at it. Wouldn't hunt in the eastern woods any other way unless there was fresh snow on the ground. -
Thanks, Al. I was very confident in that particular 99F out to 350, though I much prefer not to shoot game beyond 300. That goat was getting mighty close to the limit. This past summer I spent three days in Pa. with a group of Savage 1895/1899/99 collectors. There were all kinds of variants present, and I got to shoot quite a few of them or witness them being shot. I don't recall a single one that didn't impress me with it's accuracy.

KUIU Gear
eaglemountainman replied to UpStateRedNeck's topic in Hunting Gear Reviews and Gear Discussions
After losing a bunch of weight, I needed to buy all new hunting gear. I looked at Sitka, Kuiu, First Lite and Pnuma. That wasn't happening. I ended up going with Kryptek gear. I bought three different weight pants and two jacket combos, plus a vest, a packable puffy and a few of their other pieces for layering no matter the conditions. From cool early season to single digits, I should be good to go. It's light weight, has excellent warmth to weight component, seems exceptionally well made and I didn't have to ransom one of my grandkids for it. Not wanting to sound like a fan boy here. I just posted up for those who might be looking but weren't aware of this option. -
Browning Wasp. I've had the same bow since around '72

A VERY BRADY RENOVATION-- Sept 9th.
eaglemountainman replied to blackbeltbill's topic in General Chit Chat
Ok guys, let's keep those hands where we can see em. -
Since I'm retired, I can take all of it. I'll probably head out from Florida and get to camp by 11/10. I'll stay till the end of muzzleloader season.
