I agree.
Shotgun deer hunters would be a low consumer of Optics, while Rifle hunters would be high. Fur bearer hunters/trappers would be minute...no need for binocs hunting Coons at night, but probably if you're a coyote hunter. he's right....Economics would have a large impact on equipment...the guy who buys his gear at walmart, might not, and would be lower end, vs the guy who goes to Colorado from North carolina to hunt a private lease ranch, more than likely has high end optics, range finders, expensive camo gear and weapons. good points jsp. |

Thanks to PastorMik I bought a great set of Steiner binocs this year. I had some cheap ones prior and there is a HUGE difference. One note to Pastor, the bino buddy was a little cumbersome for me. It was nice while I was walking to the stand, but once I got on the stand I had to unhook one side. The rubber tubing was a little prohibitive for me.

Be meticulous about cleaning the skull and flesh. Don't cut it too close to the top of the skull or it will break. Some people will either put them outside to dry in the sun, or salt them. |

Just don't put a cooler full of venison and icewater in the back of your wifes Explorer without tieing it down! I took an exit too fast, spilled a couple gallons of the bloddy water in the back of her Explorer, and even after ripping out all of the carpet it still smells like dead flesh. |

I figure that even dead animals quit stinking after a while, so we should only have 1-2 more weeks to deal with it. My wife is from VA Beach, nobody in her family hunts or even owns a gun, and she will not even try to taste venison. She is anti-hunting, anti-anything outdoors that includes being cold or sweating, and is obviosuly anti-deer juice in the apolstry. I drive an Escort, and was able to haul deer to the checkin station in the trunk the last two years with no mess, and was able to transport two coolers off floating deer parts in the trunk and one in the back seat with no mishaps. It sucks that after everything is over the darn cooler tips over in her explorer. |

I feel your pain brother. I grew up in Missouri and have hunted on my fathers land for 33 years. I moved to L.A. 15 years ago and married a city girl. We have a 7 year old daughter that I'm trying to instill positive feelings about hunting. I must say my wife is doing her best to not negatively influence my childs feelings. On a positive note, this year my nephew killed a couple of squirrels, he brought them to the house to clean them and my little girl and her two cousins watched the entire cleaning process. One of her cousins kept saying ewww but my kid just said "what's wrong, we have guts inside of us too". She was also facinated by my gutted deer hanging in the tree. I have a sister and neice that hunt which I hope will influence her a well. I'm not gonna push her, just encourage her, but nothing would thrill me more than taking her out hunting with me.
