    Bow Hunters….

    Yes but I'm 71. I barely remember 60. Ike is cheating with that new Lift. Deer hunting is all archery. If we happen to strike out on elk in Wyo during bow season or draw multiple tags we will go back during rifle season.

    How many releases do you have?

    That's an interesting design. I recently went from a Truball Short and Sweet R index to a Spot Hogg Keeton because the handle was supposed to be easier on old man arthritic surgically-repaired shoulders. It is very nice on the draw but I'm not wild about the anchoring with the Keeton and its...

    Mean Cow Elk!

    Now with a straight face I can tell the grandkids that I hunt dangerous game.

    IADNR bans cell cam "scouting" during hunting season

    I'm for banning the naming of big bucks seen on any camera then telling anyone who will listen that he needs another year.

    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    We trolled with flashers and hoochies for salmon, usually silvers. One year we successfully were casting spinners for silvers and it was great fun. Halibut was primitive rig that looks like a coat hanger: big jig, hook tipped with squid or something and a big weight using a rod similar in...

    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    I have not purchased groceries in Ketchikan but they are pretty high on POW. If you need just minor things like bread, beer and mustard in Coffman you can probably get it at the Riggin Shack and the liquor store attached to the bar rather than drive to Klawock. Island Air lands us in Klawock so...

    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    Coffman Cove is where I've always gone. Great place and great people. You will have fun. Only downside is grocery options are almost non-existent. We bought groceries in Klawock.

    Wife’s on the hunt for Wyoming property

    I guess I should say they need work on sentence structure. Of course this could be your physician very soon.

    DIY Saltwater Fishing Trip to Prince of Wales Island

    I've fished POW many times. I didn't use the ferry (Island Air out of Klawock-Ketchikan). Fish boxes work fine but can be cumbersome to handle in airports. Rent a cart. I moved to Polar Bear 48 soft side coolers. They hold exactly the same as the fish box but much easier to handle and the added...

    Get your business in order

    Mike Piper's excellent short book should be required reading for husband and wife or anyone with elderly parents. It should be read before someone dies. https://www.amazon.com/After-Death-Your-Spouse-Financial/dp/1950967123

    Has your dog been injured?

    Redbone had some copperhead bites. She was embarrassed by the swelling when she got one to the muzzle but no lasting effect except she never messed with a copperhead again.. Our "free" pound pup rolled down the window of my 4runner and jumped out at 60mph. (Please don't ask the wife's...

    Gaiters? What do you feel is the main purpose

    The video I posted was wrong. I use your method but on the first "half knot" I wrap twice. It does not allow slippage when making your loops and it helps keep your heel locked in place. I've also found using waxed kevlar laces keeps things more secure while tying and after it's tied. Thanks for...

    Gaiters? What do you feel is the main purpose

    Thanks I think that's the method I use and it does help a lot but some of the very short sage brush has dexterous fingers that can snag and untie anything. The gaiters I use are very short and don't cover much more than the boot.

    Gaiters? What do you feel is the main purpose

    I elk hunt in a lot of sagebrush. Gaiters seem to help keep my boot laces from coming untied.

    T-Bills

    Pretty simple. Toddlers including myself don't worry about competitive bids. Don't expect to impress friends and family with purchase but you will sleep well. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/t/treasurybill.asp

    Hot weather pants - OR Ferrosi vs FL Trace vs Kuiu Tiburon

    Hiking Grand Canyon in June?? Pants would not be my main concern especially if this is a rim to rim hike. GC in summer can be deadly at worst and just "not fun" at best. Plan carefully and conservatively. Sorry for the interruption. Old boomer (with GC experience) signing off.

    Guiding

    Everyone wants to be a gangster until it's time to do gangster shi*. That's my opinion of large scale vegetable gardening. It sounds good but the reality is a lot of grunt work. I can't see whitetail guiding as a career move. A side gig? Maybe

    Smooth bow for bad shoulder

    I have two very bad shoulders and it may sound crazy but the only smooth drawing bows I own are my traditional bows. Anything with cams, cables and let-off puts a lot of stress on shoulders when they are not in a mechanically advantageous position. With a longbow/recurve the peak draw weight is...
