I really find these products make a difference. Wilderness Athlete is dedicated to bringing you some great products that help you keep your energy and focus up during a hunting trip. They also want to help you reach any weight loss goals you have by providing healthy meal replacement shakes, weight loss supplements and multi-vitamins. And for those that get headaches and nausea at higher elevations (say >8500 feet), then you should consider the WA high altitude advantage supplement. I know I could have used it while working on mt graham a week ago! I have used the performance bars, the hydrate and recover mix, and the energy and focus mix and really found they helped keep me feeling strong during some backpack hunts.

DLC covert is having a trail cam contest. Entries have to be in by Dec 1. They are looking for some neat pics from Covert cameras, so if you own a Covert and want to enter, visit the link below: http://www.dlccovert.com/contest.html

Have a great one Lee!!

For those that don't have a Covert Camera and might be interested in one...you can get them from me and help support this site http://www.coueswhitetail.com/bookstore/trail_cameras.htm

YUMMY!!! thanks! that's a great trout!

No problem with regular range finders that I know of. Boone and Crockett says no using sights with built-in rangefinders. For more info on their idea of what is ok and what is not, visit this link: http://www.boone-crockett.org/huntingEthics/ethics_affidavit.asp?area=huntingEthics

Wow, that is a tough decision. I guess the only way it's a bad decision is if you get a job immediately after selling the stuff. Then you sold them for no reason. But if you do get a job then you can buy them back, so I guess sell them if you really need the money. Your hunting friends can always loan you gear until you get back into full employment. I think Outdoorsmans is looking to hire a salesman who knows optics and hunting gear, so you might be able to do that for awhile. http://www.outdoorsmans.com/

You might want to call the offices for the recordbooks and clarify their position on this...you are sadly misinformed on bears not being allowed to be entered if they are taken with the aid of dogs. The only problem with fair chase on a hunt with dogs is if someone has dogs with collars and uses the receiver to locate the dogs during the hunt or if they are using radios to communicate during the chase.

LOL!!! that is hilarious!! Wow Chef, you are gonna have to go on tour with this comedy routine!

"snorting Coppenhagen" that sounds right up your alley Lark!!! LOL! Let us know if it works!

Really? I haven't seen this news yet....

Ok guys, let's try and continue the discussion without name calling and such....

LOL!!

Does do that all the time. They fight like that over access to resources like food and water (or perhaps some attractant you put out for your camera). Welcome to the forum! But please don't just come here to post links to your blog. If you want to contribute here, it's nicer to just post the orginal content rather than having people leave this site to go to yours. Just a little internet courtesy.

Great find Dan!

Ok, I added another question to the poll. I didn't use this wording, but instead took the wording from your first post where you started the discussion. Hopefully you are ok with that. If you already voted before I added the 2nd question...you might not be able to add a vote for the 2nd question. But you should see a button under the poll that says delete my vote. If you click on that, then you can vote on both questions, otherwise it won't let you vote on the 2nd question.

Don't you think rifles make it easier to kill bears? Why do you support rifle hunting for bears? to me it's a lot easier to climb a hill glass up a bear, set up for a shot and kill him than it is to follow hound dogs through miles of rough country. Don't you think glassing makes it easier to find bears? You might want to think about why you draw the line where you do. There are all kinds of people who thinking using big optics and hunting with rifles is unsportsmanlike (is that a word??).

Hey, Nodinks since you wanted to know what people think I added a poll where people can vote and you can find out. People can vote anonymously and so it should get you a bunch of votes from people who don't feel like writing out their opinion in this thread. I will never understand why some people think it's so easy hunting bear or lions with dogs. I can tell you that the only people I have ever heard call it easy are people who haven't done it. Put in some miles behind dogs hunting legally and see if that doesn't change your mind. Making the argument that we should ban hunting with dogs because you know some people who do it illegally is like asking to ban hunting because there are poachers in this world....

Great deer and video Jim!! I haven't hunted the 35s...but looks like I should!
