    Wild Pig Hunting Tips

    I’ve Never really seen them traveling along ridges myself, mostly side hills and bottoms and pop up where they are going to feed, but I would imagine it’d change according to the quickest least pressure way to feed. Sounds like you’ll have a good spot if you can find a trail to the farms they’re...

    Killer threads lately

    There was an overlanding forum I used to frequent that kind of went in weird directions. I originally liked it because I like to wheel and camp but it turned into a fashion show of who bought the latest greatest gear and parts that of course matched their color scheme perfectly. Basically a...

    I guess we need a 2022 fitness goal thread!

    Trying to balance the fine line of continuing my 5 day split weight lifting with not beating my joints up so I can’t. My younger days of construction etc are catching up… So far so good, slow and steady with only a sore shoulder right now. Started up mtn biking again after a 20+ year break...

    Federal 215m

    I’ve seen primers very and I mean very intermittently at the local gun shop. A few boxes of something, usually what I don’t need and then they’re gone for awhile. I just go in often to a couple different stores and check and once in a great while I get lucky and buy the limited amount they’ll...

    Getting tired of the same old thing. New venison Recipes

    I like to butterfly bigger chunks of hind quarter roasts into big slices as little less than 1/4” thick and wrap them around 5 or 6 full length green onions into rolls and hold them together with toothpicks. I’ll cook them kinda slow on the grill or traeger and baste with terryaki sauce towards...

    Wild Pig Hunting Tips

    There’s certainly some pig experts that will have better info but In my limited experience with hogs, they seem to be repulsed by huntable public land. Find the very most difficult thick hell hole of a place an animal that size can’t possibly go and that’s probably where they’ll be on public...

    Bipod vs tripod vs shooting sticks

    I got the quick stix for my hiking poles this year and I like them quite a bit, plenty tall to shoot off my knees over sage brush and grass and I don’t notice them otherwise. I was messing around with one of those bog pods at the local gun shop awhile back and thought it was pretty neat for the...

    Hybrid bag, down cheats?

    I decided to get one bag to handle most of my trips except for the hot summer stuff and then just use my old army woobie. I almost went with a quilt because 75% of the time that is how I use my bags but I have been caught with not enough bag a couple times trying to go a little lighter and it...

    Matte refinish for a wood stock?

    Tru oil is what I’ve used to refinish a few stocks over the years. My grandpa showed me how to use it 30 years ago so there’s certainly other stuff out there now but it’s cheap and it works great. Like any paint job type thing the more time you put into the prep and steps the better it turns...

    Diesel vs gas. Which one is better?

    The older diesels were extremely reliable, the new ones seem to be comparably maintenance heavy and expensively problematic. The tow company I work for switched most of our smaller trucks (ford f550) to v10 gas engines a few years ago which has saved a ton of money. The amount we spent repairing...

    Mismatch Camo

    One my buddies who tends to kill more and bigger bucks than the rest of our friends is usually wearing just about any color of T-shirt unless it’s warm which it often is in ca. then it’s whatever tank top he grabbed and blue jeans. One buddy only wears plaid button up western shirts hunting or...

    Swaro vs everything else Convince me

    I pick up some used el 10x42s a couple years ago on consignment at a local gun shop for $1k. By far the best money I ever spent and kick myself for not buying a pair even at full price 20 years ago. I’ve looked through leicas and others that I also liked, but I’m very happy with these and don’t...

    Comfortable pants for dudes with tree trunk legs

    That was my experience as well, first lite corrugate guides fit perfectly thighs and waist. I really wanted to like the kuiu attacks but the thighs were tight so I sized up and now the waist is loose. I’ve been wearing them anyway because I do like the hip vents, but won’t buy them again. I...

    So I buy this kayak - now I’m trying to catch largemouth bass.

    Either/both or just slide them in the bed of a truck.

    So I buy this kayak - now I’m trying to catch largemouth bass.

    100% better to have two kayaks than one tandem. Way more fun to be able to move around independently and I couldn’t imagine trying to fish with two people in one, after being in one once I have zero interest doing that again. The pedal drive is what makes the hobies so good but also expensive...

    So I buy this kayak - now I’m trying to catch largemouth bass.

    Thanks, Lewiston lake, whiskeytown lake, Santa margarita lake, leffingwell landing and port San Luis all in ca. I’m glad she finally decided to give it a try and ended up really enjoying it, it’s a little sharky in our area so she doesn’t like to go outside of the harbor but she is always ready...

    So I buy this kayak - now I’m trying to catch largemouth bass.

    I started on a used beater then a nicer used beater and eventually got a Hobie then got the wife one after she tried it out. The dog loves the kayaks, she’ll jump in for a ride as soon as she sees one, occasionally not mine! The Hobie compass is very similar to the outback but much less...

    So I buy this kayak - now I’m trying to catch largemouth bass.

    I’ve had a few different kayaks over the years and have had a couple Hobie outback’s for the wife and I the last couple years. They aren’t cheap but are great covering distance (while being able to drink coffee) are awesome in holding position in the wind while casting and being able to troll at...

    Down/Insulation jacket recommendation

    The Rei one is probably the best value, though outdoor research has been having a great sale and had some down stuff too. I’ve been happy with everything I’ve got from them. Well made, super warm and fit me perfectly ( tall with long arms) they also supposedly have a great warranty but I haven’t...
