    UPS lost my breasts

    Wild turkey is absolutely delicious! I killed two toms this spring and shared with several friends. Everyone loved it. The legs are tough so you gotta slow cook pressure cook them. I used the legs for taco meat on one bird and made posole with the other. Sorry to hear about your bad luck with...

    Truck Suspension Upgrade

    Just keep in mind he won’t gain any travel from a lift. He will simply move where his truck sits at static within the available travel that the suspension offers. The raptor offers long travel from the factory, along with 34ish tires, proper gearing for those tires, torsen front diff, internal...

    Truck Suspension Upgrade

    I would sell your truck and buy a used raptor. Even after you spend thousands on suspension, tires, gearing etc it won’t come close to the raptor. I have a tundra with bilstein 6112 fronts and 5160 rears and it’s pretty darn good off-road. I can drive it pretty fast through rough terrain. I...

    Base-layer Recommendations for Nevada Archery Mule Deer

    I live in NV and I really like the First Lite wick hoody and the stone glacier Avro hoody for August. I actually wear these pieces year round but in August they work great as my only layer in the heat of the day.

    The trackers do fit looser than other vivo’s in my experience.

    Choosing my first Tikka and looking for advice

    I can spot shots just fine with my regular t3x 6.5cm. You shouldn’t need the CTR in my opinion. I wouldn’t go above 6.5cm recoil if you want to spot shots without a muzzle brake though. My rifle weighs about 8.5 lbs total.

    Vivo forest tracker esc durability

    I would vote for the bigger pair. Mine are a pretty loose fit and I like it. I can wear them with one pair of socks medium weight socks or a liner plus heavier socks in winter. Works for me.

    JRE w/ Cam and Steve

    How long have you been a hunter? I honestly don’t mean this in a condescending way, I’m just curious based on your position. I hear you but I disagree with you about compromising. I do not think the animals rights or anti hound hunting crowd would do the same for us and therefore feel that we...

    JRE w/ Cam and Steve

    Care to elaborate why you support this? CA banned hunting bears with hounds several years ago. You would be crazy to think they won’t move to ban bear hunting completely before too long. This is one of those issues where even if you don’t personally support hound hunting it would behoove you...

    NASTY: expressing bird dog's glands

    I should have added I feed PPP 30/20. Tried multiple flavors of this and no difference as far as fish butt goes.

    NASTY: expressing bird dog's glands

    I have two griffs. One gets the stink (we call it fish butt) and one doesn’t. Same diet and both are females. Like someone else mentioned you only need to squeeze on the exterior of the B hole, no penetration. I have seen it shoot out a foot or two from my old pitubull. Definitely need to cover...

    NASTY: expressing bird dog's glands

    One of my dogs needs it done every few weeks and my old dog needed it occasionally. It’s gross but pretty darn easy to do. Just get some gloves and I hold a paper towel over the area.

    Vivo forest tracker esc durability

    The trackers are the only minimalist boot I’ve tried but my everything else shoe is the Altra lone peak for the last 3+ years and I really don’t like them off trail with even zero weight on my back. I haven’t packed out an animal yet with my trackers yet but I have carried a 45lb pack on and off...

    Vivo forest tracker esc durability

    I feel like off trail is where they shine. I’m on my second season wearing them for big game and Chukar hunting. Only issue I’ve had is lack of waterproofing if it’s really really wet.
