in reply to: Bear "Cub" restoration help requested #59695
I have two Cubs that I am working on as well. I’ve been using goo gone, sparingly, and it seems to be working well for me.
My cubs are the longbow variety. If someone can verify, I think they switched to recurve in 1954(?).

in reply to: Good news for hunting #51307I feel like this article has illustrated my experience fairly well. I didn’t grow up hunting, though I did go a couple of times. As an adult I have gained a serious interest, and though I haven’t been big game hunting yet, I have been out for small game. I love rabbit, and love that I can eat a healthy meal that I gathered myself.
Like most here, I am turned off by the whack em and stack em attitudes on the tv hunting shows. I agree that they are market driven, and don’t represent normal people.
The anti’s often seem to use the aggressive militaria of the current batch of tv hunters as proof that hunters are regressive knuckle-draggers who get “thrill from the kill”. I think the folks that the writer was talking about are good for hunting as a whole; If more attention is paid to the ‘hip young urbanite’ who hunts for the healthy diet aspects, perhaps they will have a little less ammo.
in reply to: Lamentations #33716did anyone else just flashback to high school lit class and ‘1984’?
I just got chills.
in reply to: Lamentations #33689This just feeds the anti hunter bozos, like the ones threatening the tv hunter Melissa Bachman for killing the lion. It’s a constant battle with those people to try to convince them that this is not the norm.
in reply to: Lamentations #33414I agree with the ‘tech crowd’ comment. The traditional muzzleloader board that I read is alot like this one here; it’s all about bushcraft and hunting. No ‘whack em and stack em’ nonsense.
I think we are in a time where technology rules. We have whole generations who have grown up in the virtual world so their perspective on everything is through that lens. I don’t think I can blame anyone for that, really, though I don’t want to be involved. I have personally been talked down to because I am not on facebook and twitter and whatever else, and frankly, I’m ok with that. Even if my employer didn’t advise against being on social media, I wouldn’t want to be there.
The only tweeting I want is the birds in the trees.
I’ll second the ‘back of the room’ suggestion. Yoga girls are fit.
I used to do yoga, at a studio. Yoga is no joke; you’ll sweat like crazy. Granted, some folks do take it pretty far in a metaphysical Boulder/Berkley/Ann Arbor kind of way, but not all. Alot of them are more like Crossfit people. Pretty hard core.
The faucet is dribbling and the drip will stop here by tomorrow. Good luck and remember to post pics!
in reply to: Hunting canoe #36398My brother and I used to use our canoe to fish a couple of small residential area lakes nearby. We had a harness type thing, with wheels, that secured to one end and allowed us to wheel it across the street through the neighbors yard to the river.
We would put quite some weight in it; two coolers full of beer and sandwiches, both of our tackle boxes and buckets of minnows. Tough to guess but probably 75+lbs. It actually seemed to be more stable with more weight in it. Not good for standing, though. After the beer cooler was empty…..
Old Town Canoes. It was a gift from our dad, so I don’t know how much it cost.
in reply to: Treed Partridges and trail cams #35444Sorry for being melodramatic everybody. Inevitability and the decline of ethical behavior has been really bothering me lately. In more than one context.
in reply to: Treed Partridges and trail cams #35236This concept makes me think of ‘I, Robot’. Loosely, humans made machines more and more capable of making their lives easier, to the point that the machines almost took away their freedom in order to save them from themselves.
While not a direct analogy, I do see similarities. The 80+% let off compounds, 1000+ yd rifles, scent elimination generators, invisibility cloaks and time travel all seem to make hunting easier for people, but isn’t the logical end to hunters becoming more efficient the extinction of species? Is it possible that we as a species can get so efficient at killing that the animals can’t survive?
I don’t know, but the idea scares me.
in reply to: Help my poor shoulder please! #34070I would add that just like any other sport, short but frequent training sessions are better than infrequent marathon sessions. shoot for 10 or 15 minutes 2-3 times a day or whatever your frequency is, and let the muscles and joints rest.
in reply to: 40# for hunting? #21808I think they give you meds when you have multiple sporsmaal…
in reply to: My toes are frozen……. #42521I fished the Frying Pan river yesterday, starting at 0630. coldcoldcold. I tried one a Thermacare heater wrap that you wrap around your midsection, with heating pads on your kidneys. The theory is that if you warm the kidneys, warm blood will be sent to the legs. Just like what Lyagooshka said.
I have to say that I was warmer than I expected to be. I was wearing smart wool, fleece, and multiple layers, but there is still only so much you can do while standing in water that cold.
in reply to: New to bow hunting… entirely #22084I understand. I feel like I am experiencing the same thing with my new (to me) 45lb’er. With the old bow I strained so much that I felt pain sometimes.
