    Washing new gear

    I wash them with a deodorizer and non-scented detergent. Mostly to soften them up a bit. Especially pants as they can be a bit stiff out of the box.

    Bad Unsolicited Advice

    Were they midwesterners by chance? I have shot 1 sage grouse in my life. Never again.

    IMR 4350 worth picking up?

    IMR 4350 has been my go-to for numerous calibers for nearly 40 years. You might be an old fart if you remember the rectangular metal cans it was sold in.

    Why?

    We don't leave our property anytime around holiday weekends just because the traffic is so bad. Yesterday I picked the garden, made a gallon jug of pickles, reinstalled some molding after a recent kitchen remodel and cleaned up the garage. Wanted to watch some football last night but Directv...

    Hunting in the 1980s and 90s

    Get out and take advantage of everything you can. That's my mindset, even if things don't go as you want. Just got done with the crabbing (hopefully a fall/winter season, fingers crossed). 2-3 weeks of coho salmon fishing and then onto muzzy deer, elk and then MO whitetail. After all that, I...

    So what's the verdict on the cheap Monstrum scope rings?

    I slapped a pair on a 6.5 Grendel AR build and they have been solid.

    Honda Generator experts

    My 2500 yamaha will run my AC, but not much more. 4000 would be plenty. You can get them new online for about $1100 apiece plus tax, maybe shipping. Used, I'd probably not pay more than about $500-600 per, based on use/abuse.

    Hunting in the 1980s and 90s

    We had unreal hunting in Northern WI in the late 80's and 90's before the wolf and bear explosions. My brother in NE WI has been telling me great stories of the deer numbers in the last few years. Had fantastic antelope and mule deer hunting in SE MT from the late 80's to about 2015...

    Rodents in vehicle at trailhead

    Are you referring to the small containers of the stuff for fending off a thief or the mega cans of bear spray? I am looking for multiple methods as we are rodent central where we live.

    Rodents in vehicle at trailhead

    I posted in another thread about what a mechanic friend told me. Spray the entire engine compartment heavily with plain lysol and zip tie dryer sheets all over. I also have one of those blinky gizmos and it all seems to have worked well for my truck and our car.

    Colorado Hunters Must Vote to Prevent "Ballot Box Biology"

    That's the way it works here in WA. Hound hunting, bear baiting, body gripping traps and maybe a few more I'm missing. All long gone. Although not put to a vote, our liberal commission, installed by our esteemed governor, voted in by the people, took our spring bear season away, so I count...

    Avoid the chiro-quackters. That will only make things worse.

    Recently missed a caribou on a hunt of a lifetime. What caused the miss?

    All scope technology aside, have you considered you just missed? The vast majority, if not all of us, has.

    Why you should not take equity out or dump your 401 K to take super expensive hunts.

    Our once marina neighbor had a 57 footer named "SOKI". Spending Our Kids Inheritance. Their kids were not amused.

    What changes are you making this season?

    Going muzzleloader for deer vs rifle. Didn't draw our multi-season permit (allows archery, muzzy, rifle) so it will be my only deer hunt here in WA. Might have a new partner in MO this year too.
