    Your gear upgrades/changes/additions for 2024

    My focus is on pheasant hunting and running my Vizsla in AKC hunt tests this year. For those purposes, I bought a couple Orvis lightweight shirts with blaze orange shoulders. One long sleeve and one short and I bought a Dogtra bird launcher and a bird bag for training with quail. I will be...

    Short quotes that speak volumes.

    "Your children's children will live under communism, You Americans are so gullible. No, you won't accept communism outright; but we will keep feeding you small doses of socialism until you will finally wake up and find you already have Communism. We will not have to fight you; We will so weaken...

    Talk me out of a Kodiak Canvas Tent

    I hunt either by myself or with my son so a 10x10 Kodiak or a 12 x 12 Alaknack work just fine. If I was with a larger group and/or I wanted a larger tent for whatever reason, I would probably get wall tent. Once you go over 12x12 a wall tent is the way to go IMO.

    Well....I've had enough

    As a quick follow up, I'm running my young Vizsla in a hunt test this weekend. He'll run in 2 on Sat and another 2 on Sunday. I should put in several miles walking both days. Signed up for another in SD in a couple weeks. I've taken a few inches off my waste since March and I'm able to wear...

    What time do all you geezers get up in the morning?

    My dogs wake me up around 5:30 am every morning. Quick trip outside and then they all run into the kitchen for breakfast. I normally get less than 6 hours sleep a day. 7 hours is a luxury for me. If I'm in bed longer than that, it normally means I'm not feeling well.

    Let's Talk Home & Auto Insurance Companies

    We use Amica. When we've had claims they have payed. Haven't had an issue or problem. I believe they are the oldest auto insurer in the US. No local agents....which personally I always found useless anyway. Is Amica the cheapest? I don't know. Probably not. I stopped comparing them based on...

    Houston, TX

    As an update, my daughter found an apartment near Grand Parkway and Westpark Tollway. More of a suburban area and relatively boring but it's what she was looking for. She works 7 days a week right now and 14 hour days aren't unusual. She is in the office working as I am typing this as an...

    300wsm vs 7prc vs 7rem mag?

    When comparing calibers, I would consider availability of components and ammo. Which one can you find brass for easily? Can you find H1000 or RL 25 to reload for the PRC? Powder for a 7 mag might be easier to find. Can you find loaded ammo on a shelf at a local store if you needed it? IMO...

    Houston, TX

    It's the same all over. My middle son lives in KC and my truck has been broken into a few times visiting. I was towing an empty trailer once and they cut the locks off at 3 am. Nothing in it and they took off. We are looking at apartments over towards Katy to start and go from there. She will...

    How do you deal with suicide....

    When one member of a family commits suicide the odds of another doing the same goes up significantly. A family I grew up with up the street lost two kids to it. They were good people. It can happen in the best of families and mental illness can be difficult to fix. I don't judge.

    Off season for the dogs

    Made arrangements with another Vizsla owner to bring my young Vizsla over to her house this week, so I can work my dog on honoring. He's going to his first AKC hunt test in April so I want to tighten things up. Going to buy some quail next week and just keep working on the basics. Great time of...

    Newberg says a $40 elk tag (or whatever it cost) is a $25,000 elk tag for residents.

    First, there isn't any correlation whatsoever between local cost of living and what Montana charges for out of state hunting. Second....Federal taxpayers pay billions to fund the State of Montana operating budget. Third....Montana residents didn't pay for the Federal land or even all of the...

    Off season for the dogs

    Warm weekend in the KC area. Was able to go out with the local Vizsla club and work with my 2 year old Vizsla both days. Did training over birds yesterday to steady him up and ran him in a mock SH hunt test this morning over quail.

    Well....I've had enough

    Appreciate your concern. I'm clearly not communicating very well on this issue but there really isn't anything I am doing that is dangerous or uninformed. I'll be fine in the short term. I'm drinking plenty of fluids and eating healthy. Recommended calories per day for a man of my age starts at...
