    What food and drinks local to your area?

    NW Wisconsin- big ones we're known for are the Friday night fish fry and cheese curds (squeeky, deep fried, hot or cold it's all good). when I come to AK every summer I end up bringing 30#'s of cheese curds and a few different varieties of local cheese for my buddy and all his friends.

    Where are my anti-debt/credit card people at?

    This is hilarious. This year I'm flying to Alaska with my family, staying for 2 weeks, Florida with my family for a week and a few nights in Vegas and I'm paying zero dollars out of pocket. Simply using business points my business credit cards earn. I've never paid a dime of interest on a CC...

    Montana hunting dogs

    If you're going to be doing a bunch of late season hunting I would vote a golden or a lab. I'm biased with goldens, but know you get what you pay for. With both labs and goldens they've almost split into 2 breeds, the ones that hunt and are dopey around the house, and ones that are just dopey...

    My first elk is almost home

    You're probably a little high but still a nice bull and one I wouldn’t hesitate killing. For reference the bull in my avatar officially scored 266" net, 274 gross and he’s got 16” eye guards, is a little heavier than yours, and probably wider. My brother in laws grossed 286 and netted 276”. I...

    2022 Bird Season(s) Pics

    Another fun fall with my pup. Little more gray in both our beards every year. Always take the picture! At some point that’s all you’ll have!

    How does the MT points system work?

    Not anymore- need to apply for an actual license every other year or your points go to zero. MT draw system is certainly not my favorite.

    Alaska Airlines vs. United

    Fly with AK with confidence out of MSP. We go to AK fishing every summer and I’ve never had an issue getting back hundreds of pounds of fish over the years. Never have had an issue, same to Hawaii.

    Acadia national park and Quebec city vacation ideas

    Second this dude. I lived in Ellsworth for a year fresh out of grad school and it was one of the greatest years of my life doing travel PT. He hit it right on with all his recommendations. One more I’d recommend that probably isn’t on your list is the bold coast which is further east from...

    Boss shotgun shells?

    I've been shooting the Boss #4's for pheasants the last 2 years, I've had no complaints. I'm going to buy a box of #5's to see how they compare to the #4's but I've been shooting the #4's pretty well last 2 years.

    Elk Hunting with Newborn Baby?

    I wouldn't go, not every mom handles it the same. My buddy's daughter was born in late August and he was considering going with us and I talked him out of it. Told me after the fact he was really glad I told him he couldn't come. I had my daughter (2nd kid) in early June, I've done a couple...

    Best kid one liners

    Last year the 3 year old is in the backpack and we're pheasant hunting. Rooster gets up and I blew the shot and just murmur "god damnit" and thought it was under my breath. 3 year old, "Dad, did you miss that damn pheasant?" This spring we're going over male and female turkeys. Hey buddy...

    College Party Life?

    Went to UW-Eau Claire, and I drank a lot; but I could handle my studies just fine while going out most times 2-3 nights a week. I had an easier time since my degree was kind of a joke (kinesiology), but I knew I was going to grad school and just needed a 3.5 or so to get in. Once I got...

    Offer in on CO Cabin/NF land…what am I missing?

    We Airbnb/VRBO ours when we're not there. You may get some disgruntled neighbors, but I've killed all mine with kindness, and they like me now. Most are 2nd home people as well so in my opinion they didn't have much of a leg to stand on when they were annoyed with me. Your land=you do what...

    Electronic hearing protection brands

    I broke down this fall and bought some Soundgear Phantom's (1400$), but I shoot a lot with pheasants and waterfowl, I've been extremely happy with them. They take a bit to get used to, but I have no problem telling location on a flush and I can hear pretty much like normal. In the past the...

    2022 Bird Season(s) Pics

    Took my 4 year old to SD for a weekend chasing roosters and ducks. He’s on the verge of being too heavy to carry but we had fun.

    Ear Muffs for Toddlers

    I’ve used the walker razor slim and just cheap Amazon muffs. My little guy prefers the straight muffs instead of the electronic protection, he doesn’t like the sound of it. He’s 4 now and 50 pounds, elk hunting pack training is officially underway.

    Bird Dogs & domestic chickens

    Meh- My golden is a stud on pheasants and ducks but when we go over to my sister's house where she has 20 or so free-range chickens, he doesn't mess with them at all. First couple times he would give a half-hearted chase, but a couple small corrections and he pays them no mind.

    What are you feeding your dog?

    Pro Plan 30/20 salmon formula for my golden, great shine and is in top shape. The Meateater vet who is a bird dog nut uses Pro Plane 30/20 for what it's worth. Digests it well and it seems to help him keep enough weight on during pheasant hunting and running in the summer.

    Helping a pregnant lady kill an elk…

    My first was born on September 14th...I live in Wisconsin...and love elk hunting the rut with a bow, great planning lol. But we'd been trying for quite a while and I was honestly stoked even if it meant I plan my trip around the middle of September. Little man won't be little forever and at...
