    Waterfowl boat recommendations

    I see more of the G3's then the Crestliners around here but both should be solid hulls. Never heard any major complaints. Lots of boat blinds I do own a Crestliner fish hawk and love that boat. Don't know much about jets as not many run them around here but I do know you want a boat built...

    Basecamp Bathroom/Shower

    I've tried to attach pics not sure if it will work. First time trying. Last year we got pretty elaborate with our set up. My buddy bought all this stuff for camping with his wife and 3 daughters but brought it with us as well. It consisted of an on demand propane heater running of a 20#...

    Stupid cooler question!!

    FYI. I use the same Coleman cooler. Heading from CO from IA it is loaded with food and 6 frozen milk jugs. Food stays cold and still some ice in jugs when I get home 7-9 days later. Some things that help are putting Everything that goes in there already cold from fridge, camping at elevation...

    Land Sale bills introduced by Utah Legislators

    Unfortunately you're not alone and that is why we have a do nothing Congress and keep getting the wackos from the fringes of both parties winning elections and gumming up the works.

    Land Sale bills introduced by Utah Legislators

    No reason a Candidate can't be pro 2A and pro public land. Unless you're just going to let them scare you with the 2A threat while they take money from the Koch brothers and the like to take what belongs to all of us.

    Mandatory health screening question "Do you have guns in the home"?

    I don't remember being asked any such question but if I was I would lie or not answer. Not that it would help much with my kids Dr. Couple weeks ago he was in for a regular check up. The Doc shined a light with a cross hair on it against the ceiling to check something about my boys eyes...

    Non-resident hunting, the controversy

    My home state, Iowa, is very tough on NR deer hunters. A draw, an expensive tag (IMO at least for a whitetail) and a NR landowner is not even guaranteed a tag to hunt their own property. I like it this way, I contact my reps every time there is a bit of talk about relaxing these regs. As a...

    Posting Wounded Game Threads.... What is your opinion?

    Over all I agree with JMEZ. I could do without the ones that are just looking for a shoulder to cry on and reassurance that "it happens to all of us at some point". However, sometimes the person is really looking for help or trying to understand what happened. Those don't bother me. That...

    Elk down, now what?

    If we get one down the standard practice is to get it down to the butcher to be cut wrapped and frozen asap. Everyone of us are Iowa whitetail hunters that handle every bit of processing our own deer but when we're out west for elk we're there to hunt. The logistics of cutting up and packaging...

    This needs to go Viral. completely wrong!!!

    You may think that. I MAY agree with you. BUT if we have laws saying you must not deny renting to this race, sex, religion, etc we certainly should not be OK with a landlord being able to not rent to a legal gun owner. Being a landlord can be a tricky business.

    --Ok, Guys/Gals We have our towns picked out for Co vacation. Need advice please!!--

    We did RMNP as a family the last two summers, as I did with my parents as a kid. First time we pushed straight through and gave the kids a night in a hotel with a pool before heading into the park to tent it for 6 days. We stayed at Murphy's River Lodge. Decent place, close to downtown Estes...

    Please comment on wolves delisting.

    I just sifted through approx. 15 pages. Only saw 2 in support of removing endangered species status. Lots of emotional psycho babble from the other side. This one did put a smile on my face. "I GET MY WOLF PERMIT HERE IN WI THIS FALL AND I CANT WAIT TO KILL ONE." I simply stated wolves were...

    do you mix and match camo, or always wear a set?

    Mix and match. I buy what I can when it's on sale. I like quality stuff and getting the right price means not always getting the same camo. My wife also hates it when i dress the kids.

    Lumenoks

    As far as lighted nocks go I like the design of the nocturnals best. I have quit using them though. I went to the Fusion Zeon vanes on my arrows. They are by no means a lighted nock but I can see them in flight well enough. I made the change for simplicity, not because I'm worried about...

    Your worst miss ever!
