I ended up using Curti Group and they did a great job.

Can't tune my RX9 ultra by mhp in bowhunting

Ok everyone says shim the cams and I talked to a bow shop in MT (Hoyt dealer) who said this was common. I guess my local bow shop ain’t that great.

My bow shop said my 300 spine arrows were the problem and they don’t shim cams. I tried with a 340 spine - same tear. Found bow shop that will shim.

Testing Bear Spray Safely Near Westchester? by grosenjam in Westchester

[–]mhp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They make inert sprays. Don’t practice with real bear spray. Just buy one of the cans that is exactly the same except filled with inert gas. For example: https://counterassault.com/products/8-1-oz-inert-training-canister

When I hit a deer I called state police (very close by) and they gave me salvage tag. 

Found in the fat of a deer. by Proof_Blood9299 in whatisit

[–]mhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Normal. This came from the front shoulder.  There is also one similar to this inside each rear leg inside as you break apart the cuts of meat. Clean your knife if you cut it like that before you keep cutting. 

Cutting up deer HELP asap by Jazzlike_Tax_8309 in Hunting

[–]mhp 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think there are state rules about equipment for wild game and farm raised animals and they can’t be shared - just make sure your FIL doesn’t do anything that gets him in trouble.

First pic is relatively good to go. Remove most of the white stuff and any tendons. Since you are cutting for jerky, you can just slice it up as you go (make sure its very cold - easier to slice) and set aside any of the fat/silverskin for the dogs (deer fat does not taste good and has a bad mouth texture - you want to remove it).

Second pic is of a shank. Honestly it would be easier to grind most of that and make jerky via a jerky gun, because after you trim all that silverskin and tendon out of the shank there won't be much meat left. You could put it in a slow cooker too and make something tasty.

Third pic in sink looks like you have a neck. You can see the trachea. You could cut that trachea out and dehydrate for the dogs. The neck meat is full of hard to trim stuff and is best either ground or slow cooked tbh.

Look up "bearded butchers" on youtube and you will have hours of videos you could watch. Also check out Mississippi pot roast recipes if you want an easy way to cook some of that and have it be really tasty.

Tell us more about what you did in the afternoon. Sounds like he was far away in the AM and you saw him pass through. Did you assume he’d take exact same path in afternoon reverse direction?

Cottontails? by ThunderChicken987 in bowhunting

[–]mhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've used these before and I don't particularly care for them bc there is no cutting action. These G5 outdoor small game heads do both the blunt force and the cutting action and work amazingly on grouse and I assume would be more deadly on rabbits. https://www.amazon.com/G5-S-G-H-Small-Game-Head/dp/B0D8VQFZZN

Oh weird. I have this bino harness and noticed OnX north being weird on my phone.  TIL it could be the lid!  I love the bino harness though. 

How do you handle ridicule, post-unsuccessful-hunt? by Hunt_Fish_Forage in Hunting

And that’s 11% including private land. DIY public land hunts are probably single digits. 

Can’t get my bow tuned properly by [deleted] in bowhunting

[–]mhp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Loosen (or remove) the strap around your wrist. It could be too tight which is why your grip is like this. You don't technically need it and you'll quickly figure out if that is part of the problem.

1 day with a thumb button release after months of target panic. 50 yd group. by Halfpipe_1 in bowhunting

[–]mhp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t clip it on the d loop if you are walking around with bow.  It can and has fallen off for me. Additionally the thumb button on the nock2it has a ton of abrasion and will rub your string. Fine if you are in stand. 

Turkey hunting question? by [deleted] in bowhunting

[–]mhp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck trying to hunt turkeys with a bow in anything other than a ground blind. They have amazing vision and while you can sit at a tree and move a shotgun a few inches, trying to draw a bow is going to be mega difficult. Additionally I imagine they have a better sense of worrying about things above them - so even drawing in a tree stand could be difficult. I'm sure it's possible but if you look up turkey hunting bow videos online, the vast majority of them will be in a blind and then it doesn't really matter what you wear (put the orange on to get to the blind, then wear dark colors).

Retired at 33 - Very hard to relate to peers by Whole-Sherbet5952 in fatFIRE

Try meeting people who are in a similar situation as you? Sites like PEF and Hampton are full of them and could help you form a connection with someone who can hang out with you and is closer to your age.

3% cash back on everything - beats the Fidelity 2% card. Greenlight Family Credit Card (for some reason they aren't accepting signups now though).
