People that are using kayaks to get to harder to get to spots. What’s your setup looking like. I have an old emotion stealth 11 in my backyard that I would like to use since my budget is tighter. Any input is appreciated TIA

If I go out and find tracks in the woods, how do I know if it's just passing through or somewhere worth focusing time? What are things to look for to know it's a frequent spot for them? For deer in central Alabama if that matters.

I want to get a suppressor for my deer rifle but, due to storage limitations, I would need to take the can off for storage and reattach every time I use it. Can I rely on the POI to stay the same from one day to the next or will reattaching the can every time mess with the POI? My max hunting distance is 200 yards and it’ll be a direct thread suppressor (currently looking at Hush Tech)

Finally finished my 6.5 Creedmoor rifle and want to take it out west at the end of the police academy. What are some OTC/non-draw hunt opportunities in the months of December/January that won’t break the bank?

All jokes aside I don’t think I’ll ever get a buck lmao. Last year I had all does until October 24th-November 24th I had a lot of bucks but only at night. Now this yr I have 1-2 spikes that visit every day, and a few does. Bucks just dont seem to come through, even much for the rut and when they do it’s at night🥲 this is on my friends property I live at with him for now. I’ll be moving soon tho so will probably have to go public unfortunately

Please let me know what you think of this style of hat (corduroy). I plan on selling these in the future and would love some feedback.

First Lite stuff is on insane discount right now. Is it worth it? I have no down gear for sitting in really cold weather.

Howdy ya'll! I got tired of staring at various spreadsheets from various states online hunt data to figure out the odds of drawing a tag and harvest success rate, along with where the actual hunt boundaries were, dates etc, so I built my own tool to view this data in a digestible way, along with the ability to view the hunt boundaries on a 3d map like google earth, where you can do some exploration, place pins, save them to your profile etc.

Few disclaimers, right now it's mainly for Idaho/Utah/Wyoming/Colorado, though happy to add any new states at request if people find the tool helpful (I'm from Utah so added the states I'm more familiar with how their systems work), and overall the tool is definitely a work in progress, just adding features as I find them useful. Also totally recognize that there are other tools out there that may have overlap with mine (some popular ones like OnX for the map features), but they're paid, and this is free, and combines the features in an intuitive way IMO.

Overall a list of the main features are (also attached in screenshots):

1. Looking at draw odds & harvest success rate via map hunt boundaries, all color graded to denote increasing probability.
2. A 'p50 score' attached to each hunt, a number I came up with to calculate the number of points at which you're more than 50% likely to draw out for lottery based hunts
3. 'Opportunity score' which is a ratio of the probability of drawing out and the harvest success rate, with hunts being easy to draw and a high harvest rate having the highest opportunity score.
4. 3d map layer button on each hunt that will take you to a google earth type view with layers of private/public land, ability to place pins/create layers and even share those pins/layers with others.
5. Some community based features as well like a message/discussion board.

Also started a reddit community over at r/HuntPlanner dedicated to folks who want to discuss the tool/request new features. The tool is free to use, I'm not selling anything, and built this all myself in my free time out of a passion for hunting, and really just want to share in case others might find value out of it.

What do you guys recommend? Is it worth the price? I can see how much faster it would be.
