    How does your job prepare you for the mountain?

    Same here- the other thing my workplace prepared me for is making sure the deer identifies as a buck before tagging it as well as using its preferred pronouns when telling hunt stories.

    Vets refusing to work on hunting dogs

    My wife is a small animal vet, and I'm "grounds and maintenance" at the clinic. She's set up for routine stuff (spay, neuter, vaccines, dental, etc.) and isn't equipped for any major trauma and ends up referring those patients to other clinics equipped to handle emergency situations. My...

    The cartridge for the next 30 years….

    I've gone through a lot over the years, and I've settled comfortably on .308, .243, .22LR, and where I must due to law, .350 legend. There is a still a Marlin "Texan" in 30-30 that sees an occasional trip to the woods, but all the rest have been sold or were given to family members. 7-08 still...

    Indoor Electric Griddle

    The trusty 20+ year old counter top electric griddle finally gave up the ghost. I can't seem to find anything in the usual places (Amazon, Lowes, Cabelas...) that doesn't look like a Chinese piece of junk or isn't a $1200 commercial one. I've looked at the Blackstone E series, but they get...

    Country music

    Another vote for Whitey Morgan. I've seen him a couple times at the Machine Shop when he came home to Flint.

    So I got a smoker

    I've had a pit barrel for about 6 years now. I'm looking to add a RecTec in the next year. As someone else said, a whole smoked back strap is about as close to perfection as you can get.

    Bourbon

    I'm going to go against the grain here.... my preference is Irish Whiskey > Bourbon > Scotch. Each has it's time and place and should be enjoyed on its own merits. Personally I'm over Bourbon and the cliquey hype surrounding it in general, not to mention any and every beer that is aged in a...

    Whats on your Christmas list?

    Let me know where you find the wife suppressor. Mine is generally great to be around, but I wish she had a suppressor after she's had a few drinks.

    Tikka mountain tactical bottom metal

    I had some issues with mine at first, but I found the culprit to be the magazine retention spring. My problem, discovered by trial and error, was that the factory spring pushed too hard on the magazine, preventing it from moving past the release on the MT bottom metal and fully seating. I ended...
