Today I shouldered the CZ drake, Stevens 555, and Weatherby Orion. All 3 are a little long for me in LOP, which I could address after purchasing and would probably have the same issue with most O/Us on the market. The one thing I really did not like is I had to really bury my cheek to get the...
Thanks to this thread I ordered a Stevens 301 in .410 last night. Looking forward to the weight savings compared to my 12 gauge 1187, and also hope it will be easier on my hearing.
I take on the YouTube elk hunter mentality and try to find one that wants to gobble. Hike all day and hit them with a loud, aggressive yelp or two every 200 yards. The hope is that you eventually come into earshot with one that wants to talk. The louder the yelp the better. You want to ring the...
Thinking about picking up a handy, lightweight 20 gauge that will primarily be used for ruffed grouse in Wisconsin. Don’t want a pricey gun as it will likely be getting beat up.
What are your thoughts on the Stevens 555 vs the CZ Drake? Any others you would throw into the mix?
Tenderize breast/thighs off the bone, brine in pickle juice or buttermilk for a day, toss in seasoned flour, then deep fry at 350. Makes a killer Chik-fil-a copy cat, or can go in wraps, tossed in BBQ sauce, etc. I’m going to try a Nashville hot style later this week. Not the healthiest option...

I’ve been...
Los Buzos prices for 2024 are $3750 a person for 5 days fishing and 6 nights lodging, plus all meals and beer. This doesn’t include tax (7% I believe) and tipping guides. Reach out to the lodge and they will send you the info.
We were quoted $400 for an 8 hour day of fishing with Pesca Cambutal...
Thanks, I took a good look at their operation and it seems top notch. The two women that will be traveling with our group of 4 (my wife and sister) have no interest in kayak fishing, which is why we’re going the panga fishing route with Pesca Cambutal.
Very interested in hearing about your...
