    Unpopular Opinion: I don't like Dave Ramsey

    He had a program that was part of a personal finances class I took in high school. I found him to be a bit arrogant and a jerk but he has some sound advice. I think there’s a place for tough love and straight talk but that doesn’t mean being insulting and lacking grace. There are folks who have...

    Triple 7 pellets

    I’ve had no problem using Winchester 209 shotgun primers with Blackhorn 209, also shot some 4th brand I can’t remember and it still went boom. Is your experience those are the only primers that work or you get the best groups with them?

    Which Basspro Kayak?

    Take a look at what used kayaks are in your area too, should be plenty with nothing but surface wear. I also wouldn’t be hesitant to look into touring type kayaks, they will paddle better than any fishing kayak, just won’t turn as well in a river since rivers can be narrow and you have current...

    Which Basspro Kayak?

    Personally I would avoid those three. I had the ascend 12t, it was my first kayak, it was like you were paddling a barge. That being said it was super stable which is what some guys want. I do a fair amount of paddling up a river so I got a 13’ 27”beam kayak that isn’t as stable but much better...

    Favorite Bourbon Opinions

    Old grand dad bonded, eagle rare, wild turkey 101, knob creek are my go too’s. Don’t often go for pricier bottles, I enjoy them when we have them, but I never wish I had anything else in my glass when I have a go to.

    Thoughts on the NRA

    Seems to me that the NRA isn’t really about protecting gun rights so much as pushing gun and ammo sales, don’t see any other reason they would wade into culture war issues that aren’t related to guns than creating fear to drive sales. In any case, I never have supported them for a variety of...

    Waterfowl Hunting Kayak

    How far is a “hike”? If it’s short a kayak “landing gear” setup might do the trick, otherwise probably inflatable. I got rid of my bigger kayak to get a lighter slimmer sit on top but it’s still 56lbs empty and 13.5’, I’m not hiking far with it. I’ve not got around to adding wheels to it.

    Ground Hunting Whitetails is underrated

    I have also had issues moving quietly enough through the leaves on the ground. I’ve been thinking about what sort of shoe I could wear that would help. Something to make my foot more like a lions paw, soft with fur that muffles sound. I’m not sure there really is an answer.... Barefoot, socks or...

    Stand Mixer Meat Grinder attachment

    We have one, it works fine for us. We do have a mixer with a larger motor than the base models. I haven’t ever used stand alone grinder so I have nothing to compare it’s performance against.

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    Summer before senior year of high school I took a trip to Germany. On mountain overlooking Berchtesgaden a friend and I were wandering, heard some drums, left the trail and followed the sound through the forrest. We found ourselves over a clearing where boys, aged roughly 10-18 were...

    Help me with coffee fellas...

    A word of caution about sweet Maria’s, if you go down that road there’s a good chance you’ll end up like I have. I’ve been so spoiled by the coffee I roast that I find it hard to drink coffee prepared by anyone else, including the majority of coffee shops. At the office I use the Aeropress, at...

    Election Yard Signs

    I don’t put too much stock in polls knowing how it went last time but polls are vastly more accurate then a self selecting forum made up of folks who are more likely to live in a red area than blue.

    What is your favorite hunting dog and why ?

    My wife and I picked up our WPG the week we found out we were going to be parents. We hadn’t been planning on that, so projects to our recently acquired 135+year old farm house took precedence over dog training for a bit. I still hope to turn her into an all around hunter and think she’ll do...

    FNG from Michigan

    Likely Wyoming yes. I’m in the Grand Rapids, more specifically Caledonia/Alaska area. I’ll play the odds and guess you’re a fellow troll?

    Bring my 12 y/o nephew or go solo?

    Take him, I wish someone would’ve taken me hunting as a kid.

    Fishing Florida

    I fished around Sanibel last thanksgiving, silver and gold spoons worked better for us than bait or other lures. It was shortly after a red tide moved through so we didn’t get anything all that great, lots of small fish of various species especially along the causeways. My family has isn’t as...
