    New land where to start?

    The Dead Sea (Mille Lacs)? Fishing and hunting are two very different things in that area.

    Very very popular? Apparently you are familiar with this area. Not sure I would have used very let alone twice.

    Putting together my first long range hunting rig, A Model 70 in 6.8 Western.

    the 6.8 is really a underrated cartridge. I’m hoping that once the brass manufacturers start making brass hopefully it gets better.

    The greatest cheap gun you've ever owned?

    Mine would be a Whippet 410ga single shoot I bought for $19.99. Whippet only existed from 1936-1940. I have shot many grouse it.

    New land where to start?

    I’ve hunted that side and the other hunters over there have been dicks. So I tend to stay out of there.

    Holy smokes that’s a lot of info. Thank you. I’ll go for a stomp. That’s fine you found it. Seems like a weird flex. I really used this as an example to see what to look for when looking at a chunk of land. Also I’m kinda of married to it because my wife’s family deer camp uses this property...

    New land where to start?

    Ok the 200 acres is different than the land north of my house. Let’s focus on the 200 first. The 200 acres Is half big ridges of red oak or very young aspen regeneration. The other half is swamps or small lakes. See photos. Forest roads run most of the ridges. Due to access and the recent...

    Favorite deerstand?

    Well at these temps you got to dress warm to sit for hours. I’ve tried striping down before the climb and dressing again once up the tree. Kinda sketchy.

    Favorite deerstand?

    I’m not cool enough to use a nut strangler. 🤣 how cold do you hunt a climber. A lot of time I’m hunting 0-30 degree weather and found I get so sweated up using a climber that I freeze out in no time.

    Emergency Chain saw for the pickup

    My go to chainsaw for home/work/truck is a Stihl Ms170. 8.6lbs with a 16” bar. Cuts really well for its size. It’ll going to struggle on a monster oak but I don’t have those in my woods. It sits most of the year and I’ve always run non-oxy 91 and Amsoil Saber at 50:1, which is the same for my...

    New land where to start?

    Lets say I found a 200 acre parcel I’ve never hunted before. Where would you start tackling how to hunt it? It’s a mix of mature hardwoods(oaks and maple), swamps and aspen regeneration. Edited: November Rifle season and December Muzzleloader season in Central to Northeastern Minnesota.

    Favorite deerstand?

    What’s your go-to for “Straight Wall” season?

    I wouldn’t be chasing the 400 w/ only one loading of ammo on the market.

    What’s your go to?

    Watchcha running? If you are hunting black bear I would doubt the 6.5 to do the job. But dead in dead and the 300win will do the job well as well.
