    Joke is on me.. won’t be booking with American Airlines anymore

    I"m a loyal Delta customer, I've had minimal issues with flights over the years, I've got enough status that I have access to lounges, free checked bags, boarding first, and I get bumped to first or comfort + nearly every trip (I only buy main cabin tickets). I've got a quick international trip...

    Argentina dove hunting

    I've got no problem believing he shot one and brought it back without getting caught. I've seen them shot on accident and on purpose (not condoned by the outfitter), it definitely happens.

    Argentina dove hunting

    I would NOT recommend shooting eagles out there .... and for the love of god don't try to bring talons home. I don't know what the consequences would be, but I wouldn't want to find out. I know the lodges I've worked at would have fired a bird boy in a heart beat if they told a client to shoot...

    Off season for the dogs

    Between regular life and my kids sports/dance I don't have much time to train ... I have a 2 year old setter, the main thing I try to do for most of the off season is make sure he doesn't get fat and keep him active. We'll start knocking the rust off for hunting season in August/September. I...

    Argentina dove hunting

    I worked for and lived at dove lodges for around 6 months of my life (most of that was making sure the guides/bird boys were where they needed to be and all was good between them and the client), I've hunted Argentina around 10 additional times for about everything the country offers. I still...

    New LandCruiser

    I drive a 100 series, my wife drives an LX570, I've got a 1979 FJ40 sitting in the shop (runs and drives fine), and I've owned/sold another FJ40, a 60 series, and I had a double cab 75 series from Australia for a while. Those are on top of other Toyota's I've owned throughout the years. I'll...

    What do you want from your woman?

    I love my wife, but if she was spending a lot of money on a gun, hunt, watch, or anything else, I would not want her doing it without talking to me first or at least asking questions in a round about way to make sure she's getting what I want. It's the thought that counts, but if she's spending...

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    I had this happen to me one morning waiting for sunrise while duck hunting in North Dakota. I always thought it was a meteor, but honestly don't know. We were in an area with rolling hills, and it literally looked like something came down and landed within a few hundred yards. No loud noises...

    Got any intel on the Daniel Boone Bear Sanctuary unit? I was drawn for the permit, been in North Dakota for 2 weeks and haven't had time to scout a single second ... spent some time in the unit a few years ago.

    Has anyone pursued a private pilots license for the purpose of hunting ?

    My business partner has his license. He's got a second home where a flight is necessary so he uses his a good bit. He also flies his plane when we hunt (single engine Cirrus), he just met me in North Dakota last week to bird hunt. I've come really close to getting a license as well but always...

    Building a Shop

    I have a 1200sqft pre-fab metal shop with an overhang at my house, it's used as a shop and indoor batting cage. It has electricity, but no plumbing. It works great, it was cheap ($14k w/ pad in 2019), no complaints. We get higher winds sometimes in the mountains, and it's had 2' of snow on...

    Waterfowl clothing

    Don't get me wrong, all of my stuff is higher end/nicer. I don't spare much expense when it comes to duck hunting. If I want it, I buy it. What I don't do is go chasing the latest brand or try to make sure all of my hunting clothes match.

    Waterfowl clothing

    Y'all make this a lot more difficult than it should be with these 'kits' and 'running' gear. I've got a hodgepodge of clothing I've put together after years of trying different items, I usually hunt ducks around 60 days annually. For me, good waders make a big difference, I've used Chene for...

    Any Turnpike Troubadours fans here?

    He can definitely get his point across with lyrics. 'Billy Stay' always gets me.

    Any Turnpike Troubadours fans here?

    I had to quit playing 'Deep Satin' because I didn't want to wear it out for myself. I agree, one of his best songs so far. I'm on the opposite side when it comes to falling off, ZB plays with a lot of emotion, his writing seems tied to his life experiences pretty closely (mom dying, friends...
