    Thought Experiment: bear defense

    plain lead buckshot will flatten and some will penetrate. Why copper and nickel plated buckshot is made... I've seen stuff talking about BB tungsten fully penetrating a deer's rib cage at 75 yards. Would have no issues carrying some 3-inch #1 Buck in grizzly territory. Guy i know from AK...

    Random question- windshield wipers

    I've found that every expensive set of wipers I've purchased starts streaking a couple of weeks or months in. Stopped chasing the imaginary 10,000 streak-free wipes unicorn.

    Feedback on Whitetail Shot

    Glad you got some closure. The whole entrance and exit on the same side is not something that seems normal, just one of those flukes I guess. Best thing is you are getting sleep again. Nice looking buck! Your record is pretty good. I know some guys who lose 1-2 a year and keep going. I...

    Should hunting be uncomfortable? -Bringing up young hunters

    My earliest memories are woods and water related with my parents. I was fishing in diapers, "hunting" w mom's shotgun at 4 or 5 and falling into frozen creeks, backwoods adventures - canvas tents, feeding rabbits kix cereal, etc. We bought some land and been dragging my 80-something father...

    Subconscious vs controlled actions

    When I shoot my 30-06 it has to be a forced thought process. Force myself thru the process and shoot very small tight groupings. If I let my auto-pilot work, will jerk the trigger EVERY TIME. It is really hard not to do auto-pilot when hunting. Last time I used it, missed 4 bucks in 2...

    How do you guys keep track of brass firings?

    I use the same 200 brass over and over again until individual pieces fail, then toss them 1 by 1.

    Spikes and Buttons breeding

    Any buck a doe will stand still for will mount a doe. It is all the same genetics - that little spike might be a big 10 pt in 4 years. Plus the does provide 50% of the genetics too.

    Should hunting be uncomfortable? -Bringing up young hunters

    If you teach them that being wet, cold and miserable is no fun. Then you have taught them not to like certain activities. It starts at birth, not when they are 12 yrs old. Taking from the post above: If YOU are passionate about the outdoors, then YOUR CHILDREN will embrace the suck. If not...

    Tips for getting a steady shot in the backcountry.

    That’s a neat story. We hunt down here in FL in flip flops and shorts often enough. About the same.

    Fighting boredom in all day sits.

    I enjoy the break from normal life. Usually fall asleep for an hour or two midday. I enjoy a full day in the tree or in the field. Dont get enough of those.

    Let them grow?

    If you stop thinking that passing on a small buck is akin to pmaying God, you might get a big one one of these days. So here we have the mighty muley hunters saying, shoot more little bucks - and does. We dont need more deer. The herds are within the biologists population numbers and just...
