    How do you carry trekking poles ?

    PA No Sunday Hunting

    My house WAS deer camp growing up. I remember looking forward to those men coming. Bucky and Lantz and Ol Bert who was 94 years old when I was 14. Some of my fondest memories are from that week of the year.

    PA No Sunday Hunting

    I think the same group of, how did you so eloquently put it, "buttcrusts" are the same ones who want to go back to the awful Monday opener and reduce youth participation

    PA No Sunday Hunting

    I grew up in north central PA in the late 1970s through to the mid 1980s. I remember learning to count and learning to do basic math by the dome light when we were out spotlighting deer and you would see hundreds of deer. In 85, my dad shot the biggest buck of his life and it was, as you...

    Rucking weight?

    I try to switch it up. A light ruck, maybe 20-30 pounds and moving faster is a different workout than a heavier ruck of 60+ Broken 48 year old man for reference.

    Daughter going to college - Need to buy her a laptop…please help!

    If she were doing a computer heavy major, she would know what she needs and know the specifics of what she needed. Get her a decent priced laptop and it will do what she needs.

    Smith 640-3. It's a bitterly angry little guy to shoot but pleasant enough to carry

    Thank you for the recommendation. Unlike these folks, I work alone and my podcast list is getting too short

    PA "Backcountry" hunting?

    I grew up in Austin, then just north of Wharton until about 1986 when we moved. I wandered many miles up and down those hills, so I'm aware of what I'm getting myself into as far as terrain. Deer density is what it is. As I've said previously in the thread, idc about taking a deer...

    I'll be up there in August and I might try to take an extra bit of time to do some backroadin and see what I can see from the cab or a short hike.

    First handgun, what would you get?

    Do you want to carry it or learn to shoot it? If you just want to carry it and miss half the $hit you point it at, get a big thumper of a handgun. If you want to get good with it, get a lower recoiling handgun or one that you can safely shoot reduced loads from and shoot the h*ll out of it...
