    The fact that it might be, and is believable as such, says a lot. It's scary and funny at the same time.

    Good sipping tequilas!

    That Herradura is hard to beat in my opinion, though it is a tequila drinker's tequila. I like most of the Don Julio offering as well but I think they might be just a bit overpriced. I mostly drink Cuervo Traditional. If you can get past the Cuervo label, it is a really good tequila for a...

    Tips for double grinding

    I like having a pedal for the grinder. As the feeding is slower it is good to stop rather than running and over-heating the meat when it isn't moving. Best trick: get a bigger grinder. The larger feed tube helps tremendously. My kids roll up short meat logs so that they drop straight in. The...

    Montana muzzleloader season

    I've got the old 517 serial number as well but that wasn't my point. My thought is that oversimplifying your stance and then ridiculing it wasn't helpful. I thought I was rather poignant but I've been wrong before.

    Montana muzzleloader season

    Oh? If we are building straw men to beat on I guess I could say that what I've gathered is "I've just moved to this wonderful location and I'd like to change it to be more like the _______ I fled." I'd say such a thing but I'm not sure it would move the conversation very far, so I'll abstain.

    New truck prices

    I've been looking to replace my truck for months. I'm cheap and buy used but the market has been terrible. Used prices are as high as new. I've been talking to dealers now about new and am also unsure what the future holds. It turns out that a trillion dollars is a lot of money. Now they are...

    Expensive boots shrunk!

    I've used that same technique a few times in the winter only instead of using bags of water I used my toes. Afterwards, the boot size doesn't seem to bother me at all.

    Rinella DDD - Depublicize, Deglorify, Demonetize

    I'm afraid it isn't just hunting that has been impacted. I think that most things popularized on social media have been cheapened and have suffered. All of the secrets get exposed, exploited, and capitalized. A value system is established to whatever activity and whatever goal is established...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    I agree. I would only say that the founding fathers would argue that they only wrote laws to help defend the rights of mankind, which they believe exist independently of governments. It is an important distinction. I never meant to get into any argument and I am guilty of purposely...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    Are you implying that God can only exist if men wrote about Him? Yours is a reductionist argument and you seem to have missed the point. I thought you were asking a sincere question or I wouldn't have bothered. Read up on the theories of rights and you might understand where the founding fathers...

    BHA seems “all-in” with Biden

    I'll bite. The founding fathers recognized these rights (that all men are free to pursue life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness) as given by God and recognized them as such. Any rules or laws passed to limit these rights were not to be abided by Americans. As such, the 2nd Amendment was created...

    Multi Day Ski/Split Touring help

    I've done a bit of back country camping and skiing and never bothered with a hot tent. I boil up some hot cocoa before bed, put it in a nalgene, and throw it in the bottom of my bag before bed time and it stays warm most of the night. I built some neoprene sleeves for them and they are still hot...

    Eating roadkill

    I picked up an elk this year. It was wounded and had to be killed. I didn't need the meat and have never done it before but I didn't want to see it go to waste either so I took it. It is still hanging in my walk-in cooler so I don't know what I've gotten into yet--I usually age elk for about 3...

    Hunting Vs "Shooting"

    To think that I studied ethics for years only to learn this. Seriously, I get your point but the subject runs a little deeper than this! Personally, I have my own opinions on the subject but it is like discussing religion. I sometimes am inclined to make fun of a religion based on the obvious...

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    I had an upsetting experience while in the woods some years ago. My main squeeze and I were out for a nature walk. We were exploring birds and insects enjoying ourselves. I'd brought a nice little picnic with some celebratory beverages for the occasion. Sorry if it sounds corny but this lil lady...

    Advice for taking my kids on their first elk hunt

    I hunt with kids a lot and do many of the the things mentioned. I really try to make it fun when I can to help gloss over some of the really difficult parts of hunting elk on public land. When you get a chance, have them set up on game and dry fire. If there is time let them dry fire on the...

    Bring my 12 y/o nephew or go solo?

    I'll bet you won't regret taking him. I hunt with kids a lot and I'll give some unsolicited advice. Make sure he has fun. Set some small, simple goals and give rewards (gas station ice cream bars, etc). Bring a shotgun and take some time to let him go at those coveys of huns or sharpies when...

    chains for snow, what do you use, especially 4runner or tacoma people

    Wow, that's rough. For my truck I drive on them and wrap them around the front tires, add rubber thingys, and voila! Front is chained up. I've never owned a truck where it was difficult to get the front done.
