    Share your "Hunting Items I've overspent on with no advantage"

    My 2024 Sherp N 1200 ARK that I bought for mushroom hunting. Easily could’ve gone with a used Sherp Pro and probably had the same results.

    Should hunting be uncomfortable? -Bringing up young hunters

    What are your actual goals for the kid? If you’re hell bent on wanting him/her to compete on the show ‘Alone’ and become a world-renowned hunter long after you’re gone, then sure, make hunting uncomfortable and acclimate the kid to pain and suffering early. If your goal is to teach the kid new...

    Frame or other ideas for displaying a Bear Rug

    I’ve got a Newfoundland Black Bear made into a rug, and it seems too nice to put on the floor, and too big to nail up to a wall. Has anyone made a frame of sorts to drape a bear rug over for display in a home? Or is there something else I should be thinking of. I’m struggling on ideas for how to...

    Wild Society Freeze dried meal reciews

    It’s very hard to beat Peak Refuel’s Beef Stroganoff. I usually don’t even like stroganoff as an actual dish, but it’s somehow like the perfect formula for a freeze dried, re-hydrated meal. I’ve tried tons of different ones, and nothing compares. My favorite breakfast is Peak’s biscuits n Gravy...

    In-Ear Hearing Protection

    I’ve already got several nice sets of over-the ear muffs, and I’m sure they’re rated appropriately for what I do, but with the advent of ear buds for hearing protection, I feel like my Sordin’s are bulky overkill most of the time. I’m wondering what you’d say is the latest, greatest, “Cadillac”...

    The Best Money Can Buy

    Everyone saying this is irrefutably correct. It’s about the experiences not the toys…BUT I guess I’m not making myself clear enough- I need to get him excited about buying/ordering/setting up some really nice, premium gear because that shopping/ waiting / setup PROCESS will keep his spirits high...

    I want HIM to spend HIS money so that HE can enjoy it BEFORE it goes to me.

    The Best Money Can Buy

    Haha YUP! 2 of each in fact. Great call though ! To everyone saying go on dream hunts….I’m in total agreement, except that is not really an option right now. I’m just really hoping he gets through all his treatments and has enough energy to mount a new scope to a new rifle, sight it in, all...

    Careers

    Indiana. Only place I’ve ever lived. My advice would be 1.) chase a career where you can ultimately make enough money to spend time with your own kids someday 2.) when you have kids, THAT’S where you scratch the coaching itch…but only if you’ve earned enough wealth and freedom to be able to do...

    Where does the dog go in your truck?

    In a Gunner Kennels crate in the bed of my truck. No topper, no shell. The crate is Rotomolded plastic, similar to a Yeti cooler. The material itself doesn’t get extremely cold or extremely hot. Of course, the weather and the wind can certainly get really cold, in which case I put old military...

    The Best Money Can Buy

    If money were no option, what specific hunting/outdoors equipment would be at the top of your list? My dad has cancer, my mom is already gone, and he’s healthy enough to hunt, he’s got his own ground, and he’s also got quite a bit saved away that I feel like he’s earned the right to enjoy in a...

    Careers

    What state are you in? It’s crazy how many details you just named that we have in common. I’ve definitely been there, just many years in the past…staring down the end of a football career, not sure what the hell to do, just wishing I could get paid to hunt and fish.

    Endurance: Shackleton's South Pole

    Whenever I’m freezing cold in a tree stand, I think about the voyages of Shackleton and Robert Falcon Scott. Sitting there pondering the suffering those men went through somehow warms me up and reminds me that I’m being a total pu$$y for shivering when it’s in the 30’s, and I’m completely dry...
