    Fun Hunting

    Anything other than the tail worth eating? I’ve only had fried gator tail, which was surprisingly delicious.

    Fun Hunting

    Thank you, that’s exactly what I was hoping to hear. I’ve got some friends with private swamp on the coastal gulf inlets that are thick with gators and use rotten chicken and roadkill to bait with. Never been but I’ve been rolling the idea around just to try something new. Definitely going to...

    Fun Hunting

    Anyone ever do a gator hunt or whatever they classify it as? (baiting?) I’d be curious to hear feedback.

    Fun Hunting

    2 of the 4 other guys going are desk jockeys who are pretty sure they’re going to Rambo the shit out of the pigs…I ordered a head harness for my GoPro so I won’t miss anyone filling their shorts in a full panic when it’s dark, the dogs are going crazy, and the pigs are screaming bloody murder.

    Refillable 1# propane bottles/kit?

    I’ve got a few 1#’ers from Manchester tank and flame king, though I’m not sure Manchester makes them (1#) anymore. The refill coupling is about $10-$12 and works to fill from larger tanks, pretty handy to have. 3 of the 4 flame kings I’ve bought have made it more than 4 years, had a seal on one...

    Pigs, hounds, and a fixed blade knife in Alabama at the end of April. Should make for some good stories 🤣

    Do you hunt or plan on hunting out of state?

    Yes and I am grateful to the states that offer opportunities, either short or long term.

    Sabbatical Ideas

    US version: road trip or rent an RV, either (1) head up the ALCAN through MT to Alaska for a few weeks or (2) hit some of the national parks ie Grand Canyon, Zion, Yellowstone, Rushmore, etc Euro versions: northwest Norwegian coast is incredible and filled with fjords that will melt your face...

    7prc load question

    What @Harvey_NW said is accurate, more of the modern high BC bullets are agnostic to seating depth. However, there is validity in saying factory ammo loaded at SAAMI length from a given rifle/barrel can shoot poorly, and with minor adjustment to seating depth in a similar performing...

    Hearing aids

    I’m glad this came up, have my ENT/hearing loss confirmation in a few weeks and should be recommended for some electric ear jewelry. It’s good to see where everyone else is at for recommendations. Also, this thread has an exceptional amount of witty banter for only being a few posts deep. Kudos...

    Best lighter weight midtear clothing/gear

    I don’t think you should feel bad for not wanting to walk around like that guy who looks like a bag of dicks at a Vegas lunch buffet 🤣 However, I do think the number of options between solids and camo from good manufacturers is probably the best it’s ever been from a selection standpoint

    Best lighter weight midtear clothing/gear

    If you have friends or know someone who has the gear you’re looking at buying, ask to borrow or at least try it on. Good marketing, catchy camo names, and fancy chemical treatments doesn’t necessarily mean it 1) fits your purpose for it and 2) fits you in general. Check out the classifieds on...

    Mortgage Cosigner Legal Help

    Tracking. My first post you quoted offered a different outcome approach, without a binding contract, in order to move to a resolution. The default answer for most in this situation is “pay on time or sell” with a pile of stress as the OP stated about the tension and conflict within the family...

    Mortgage Cosigner Legal Help

    Same as the refinance they ended up doing to remove him as co-sign, just the other way. I’ve co-signed for two separate family members but added an additional legal contract to address late payments as immediate forfeiture of property rights and any equity gained…houses are a big investment and...

    Mortgage Cosigner Legal Help

    Something to consider in hindsight: you could have refi’d them off the loan, assumed total ownership, and rented it out to create an investment property using other people’s money to build your equity. Bigger risk? Yes, but only if the property goes empty long term or the average rent for the...

    Dillon sizing?

    Sounds like you got brass that was fired in a MIL spec or military gas gun, shoulders usually get blown out more than a bolt gun or civilian production gun with tighter tolerances. Not sure about the order needed. While you wizards out there on progressives knock out cases of ammo, I still ride...

    What's Your Portable Range Setup Look Like?

    For known distance shooting I made a stand out of about $10 worth of 2x4’s, some spare hardware, and paid ~$25 for an 8” steel gong. Have a couple of them now because they’re pretty cheap, the whole setup is less than $40 including a can or two of cheap spray paint for target refresh. Best part...
