    Any guitar players?

    When I was younger and before kids I used to play in a dive bar band with a bunch of older guys who took me under their wing. Acoustic is a whole different animal than electric. I’d start by learning cowboy chords and go from there. My main acoustic is a Martin that I’ve played at...

    2023 Trips

    Bird season is getting close! Who has trips planned this year? I’ve got a late season pheasant trip planned this year in the Dakotas. Other than that, I want to hunt some new areas further north than I usually go. Someday I’d love to go hunt quail in the south west, but that’s a pipeline...

    Military service late in life

    It’s a young man’s game. It is pretty easy to become disillusioned quickly once you realize that it is often not a meritocracy, but who can play the Machiavellian game the best. I wasn’t interested in doing so. It was a great foundational life event as I was a young kid who needed the discipline...

    Hunting Birds in the Mountains Resources

    If you really want to do it read up on basic habitat and just get out there. There is no amount of reading that is going to trump experience. First season I started taking it pretty seriously I learned more of exactly what not to do and didn’t take a whole lot of birds. However, I took as much...

    Remington 7600 ID

    I am not sure if this is OK to post, and I will certainly remove if it isn’t. I am looking for help in identifying a Remington 7600 I inherited. I think it’s a Grice Wholesale special run, but I have been unable to find any guns with the same engraving. Remington 7600 30-06 SPRG w/ 22”...

    First Lite Waders - duck hunting

    ^ Agreed. I don’t understand.

    Where would you call home?

    With some more thought into it I actually wouldn’t leave. I can hunt ruffed, woodcock, sharptails, and pheasants here. I would probably snow bird in Arizona for desert quail. Yeah. I think that’d be just it.

    Best lightweight hooded fishing shirt for sun protection

    Duck camp lightweight bamboo hoody and Vortex sun slayer have been money for me. Super hot days simms guide pants paired up and it keeps me pretty comfortable. That duck camp hoody is super soft.

    Help me with my layering on top

    I really like the ambient hoody over the top of a lw hoody. Reiterate the sentiment that’ll work in a wide range of temps depending on activity level.

    Where would you call home?

    I’d figure out opportunities for public land and mixed bags personally and triangulate.

    New Pants (Arborwear?)

    Update: Ordered the Arborwear Tech Flex pants to try. At half the price of the sawbucks and Orvis pants I figured it was worth a look. I also ordered Duck Camp’s field shirt. I’ll update when I have some time with both of these items for anyone who is looking for hunting clothes for ruffs...

    New Pants (Arborwear?)

    My current pants are synthetic and I wear kenetrek hunting gaiters that go up pretty high on my calf. I don’t do much early morning hunting for ruffs anymore because it just simply isn’t productive for me. I think the last two years the earliest grouse I took was 930. Dew has largely burned off...

    Liner socks… any recommendations?

    Kenetrek liners have been great for me. Temp 60s down to freezing.

    New Pants (Arborwear?)

    I am going to need a new set of pants this year for bird season. I bought them when I was about 60 lbs heavier, dealt with it through last season but it was a struggle. I am pretty happy with the sawbucks but I do not care for how baggy they are (legs). I also don’t care for First Lite as a...
