Yeah talking with kids seems to get overlooked. I honestly never had a lot of real talks with my folks in my teen years. I had some serious talks with my 15yo step son over the last few weeks. Its not easy
This.. The ole hammer test can tell you how bad it is, but its highly possible to still have a good frame. If the suspension has never been replaced, expect to use a torch and break some stuff. Hope you have a welder cuz you might need one. Buy new Ubolts since you gotta take those off anyway...
They're good. I have a pair. They are sized larger than average. I'm a 12 and ended up with an 11. I'm fairly certain they advertise it that way too. My biggest complaint is that the soles are a bit soft. I ran down the heal on mine very quickly, but caught it before i damaged the riser...
This is my first year wearing a lightweight merino baselayer. Usually i just wear boxers but I bought some 3/4 legnth FL wick pants/leggings. I was a little warm hiking on a 70 degree day but it wasn't hateful enough to not do it again. It worked well for sweat management so the pants weren't...

If you've never shot a 170 class deer, then you shouldn't take that bet. Judging in the field is harder than most realize. I also don't have enough western hunting under belt to know if thats a bet worth taking

All these knife threads be going on here and there hasn't been a thread dedicated to Deer Rock yet so I'm starting one. I found out about them from the knive pron thread we have going.
When I asked @Slalomnorth if he had any ready to ship he said "I'm about a year out but can save you spot...
Dudley actually has multiple videos covering form and technique. He seems to redo a video on something every 2 years. Dud seems really committed to getting people shooting with good form and knows that if someone sees a 5 or 6 year old video, they'll skip it in favor of a 3-9month old video.
Yup. I was looking at doing a job transfer to that area just about everything was negative about it. Higher living cost, higher property cost, higher crime, higher COL.
Man this fall I probably igniting a hunting passion I won't be able to extinguish. I've spent waaay more money on gear I probably could get by without so I could run through the mountains on my first elk hunting in ID. Should be a great time building a relationship with my step son and meeting...
