    Dead predator pics

    First coyote. Three of them popped up while I was deer hunting. This one was 55 yards. It was too good of an opportunity to pass up.

    Turkey Smoking?

    This is what I’ve done the last few years. Tastes great. https://howtobbqright.com/2020/11/14/classic-thanksgiving-turkey-recipe/

    Most expensive thing you lost while hunting

    A pair of Oakley’s deer hunting. I was running down a fence line to try and cut off some deer, never got a shot, and lost my sunglasses to boot. One year a friend lost a watch after taking it off to clean a deer. I found it three months later pheasant hunting.

    Your first deer rifle?

    A browning A-Bolt 25-06. My dad still has it and I look forward to my kids using it when they are old enough.

    Kuiu Upland Field Vest Review ***Updated 11/24/24***

    I’m pleasantly surprised at the price. It’s cheaper than final rise or Pyke. It’s still expensive enough that I’ll wait until there are some reviews but I’m intrigued.

    My August 2024 Dall Dream Hunt

    Awesome story. I’m glad your patience and discipline to not take the longer shot paid off so well.

    2024 Plans & Gear Upgrades

    Pulled the proverbial trigger on a Benelli 20 gauge. Took it to the trap range today and really like how it shoots.

    Kuiu Upland Field Vest Review ***Updated 11/24/24***

    I got a pair for Christmas. I’ve worn them once on a hunt so far and like them. I went through some pretty thick stuff wearing them without any issues.

    2024 Plans & Gear Upgrades

    I plan on my yearly return to South Dakota for opening weekend. I really want to go to the Nebraska Sandhills again for sharptails/prairie chickens. Gear wise I have my eyes on a super black eagle twenty gauge. Otherwise I might upgrade my vest. I was looking at Final Rise or Pyke, but then...

    Smoking ---

    Fancy: beef tenderloin. I’ll never cook one another way. Beef ribs are also a crowd pleaser. Regular dinner: pork tenderloins, salmon, chicken, chuck roast.

    Any pheasant hunters here, surprised with trip to South Dakota

    In October it could be 40 degrees or 80. Brush pants are great. I wear chaps sometimes too just to add another layer against cockle burrs. I have a couple long sleeve shooting shirts from cabela’s for when it’s too hot for jackets. I have a light jacket that is sticker/burr resistant and a...

    Kuiu (Or other) Jacket Recommendations Requested

    I have the Kuiu Guide DCS jacket that I’ve worn on a variety of hunts, from spring turkey to fall pheasant to rifle deer hunting. I pair it with a puffy jacket when it’s cold. I don’t bow hunt so I’m not sure if it’s that quiet, but it’s quiet enough for what I do.

    FNG from Nebraska

    Deer and upland birds mostly. I’ve started the process of applying for antelope and elk tags, which of course means those are a few years off.

    Pics of animals you weren't hunting

    I snapped this with my cell phone, so hopefully the details come through. We were fishing in Canada and a mother bear and her four(!) cubs decided to gate crash shore lunch.

    FNG from Nebraska

    Greetings; I'm a new guy from Nebraska. I'm originally from South Dakota and grew up pheasant and deer hunting. I look forward to interacting with everyone and learning more, especially as I'm looking at trips further west. Cheers!
