    Silly things you heard as a kid

    With all the STOP DROP and ROLL we practiced as a kid I thought there were going to be way more fires when I grew up.

    Sold Inreach Mini

    Inreach mini purchased on here last season and I used it on one hunt and it worked great. No remote tags for me this year so hopefully it will still get in the backcountry without me. $140 TYD

    Anyone else (un)patiently waiting for the Vermont moose lottery drawing today?

    I checked just before checking Rokslide. Nope for me but a good buddy of mine drew an E2 tag.

    Need a new truck, what’s good?

    I really love my 23 Chevy half ton Trail Boss with the 3.0 diesel. By far my favorite truck/vehicle ever after having Rams, Toyotas and an F150. Only 20,000 trouble free miles so far but it's been super impressive with 25-30 mpg, endless power and super comfortable.

    1/2 ton 6cyl diesel and midsize diesel experiences

    Living in VT I only plugged my 3.0 in when it got well below zero and wasn't going to be driving it much and it always started fine. Modern diesels are way more tolerant to cold temps and any starting issues caused by cold. I'm more worried about making sure I had quality fuel, additives to keep...

    Has anyone used their bear spray?

    At least that's the story you used when mom and dad asked why your eyes were all red.

    1/2 ton 6cyl diesel and midsize diesel experiences

    A 23 babymax Trail Boss here and love it so far (20,000 miles) with the fuel mileage (25) and pulling power. It rarely ever shifts gears and just pulls so hard with very little effort. Climbing long hills is so different with a gas truck shifting gears constantly. After owning a diesel it would...

    Has anyone used their bear spray?

    I’ve spent the last two weeks on a hiking trip with my wife and daughter in Glacier, Yellowstone and The Tetons which has been fun and refreshing. We covered about 80 miles on some (fairly popular) trails and there are constant reminders to carry spray and to be aware of bears which we did. We...

    Carry pack weight after appendectomy

    I had the same situation 2 years ago for a black hills mule deer hunt. Surgery on Thursday and left on Saturday and was archery hunting by Wednesday. The doctor told me not to go and not to pull my bow back for 3 months but I felt like I knew my body well enough. My pack was more like 40 pounds...

    What time do all you geezers get up in the morning?

    Every year of age it seems to get about 10 minutes earlier. I'm mid fifties and it's about 5AM with no alarm 7days a week. I'm on pace for 4 AM when I hit 60.

    First Time Hunter - Northeast

    Northeast here as well. You’re bound to run into someone at work, school, church, grocery store or wherever you go that hunts. LOTS of people in the states mentioned hunt or have hunted and would be willing to lend a hand to help get you started. Tag along with someone if possible. I think...

    Funky arrow flight

    Is the nock end cracked? If you put side pressure on the nock can you see a split? I had one do that a couple years back that sounded strange when I shot it.

    I don’t like my bow

    Shot TAC with a friend of a friend last year and he had a new Mathews V3 31and he said that he hated it and was going to sell it cheap to get something new before the upcoming archery season. I was surprised because I have the same bow and love it. On the first target I noticed that his draw...

    The great sock debate 2024

    Darn Tough is about 3 miles from my house so I may be biased but the light and an occasional mid weight hikers are my go to for hiking/hunting. Over the calf heavy weight for late season with Pac boots.

    What do you want from your woman?

    As others have said directly or indirectly, give him something he can’t buy and not because he can’t afford it but because it can only come from the person who knows him best. My wife has a knack for finding things that are extremely meaningful and memorable which doesn’t have to translate into...
