    Rant - What happened to respect for other hunters???

    My dad had hung a tree stand on some public in southern Oklahoma back in the early 90's. He was in it very early before daylight and another guy started climbing his tree. Dad shined a light on him and the guy said, "guess we're going to be neighbors." He got down at 9a and peed on the bottom of...

    Mule Deer over Money

    Depends on the year and the hunt. Harvesting whitetail at home isn't usually an issue so when I go out west I'm generally hunting for something mature. I have busted a dink mule deer before just to get out of a slump on the last day. I passed dinks last year and ate tag soup in New Mexico. We...

    Your brain on microplastics?

    I don't work directly in the QA department so I'd have to check how long exactly we keep products. We take samples of any product when a new run starts. There is a large QA cage where all of these samples are kept. There are stringent SQF standards that apply to all of these things. There are...

    Your brain on microplastics?

    I'm not really either. I just work there. I worked in oil and gas for 18 years before I went to manufacturing. I could see fallacies in some of the processes in producing and completing wells and I'm sure there are some in bottling with plastics. I'm an engineer so I'm a fan of having as much...

    I think you're being a little dramatic

    Your brain on microplastics?

    We have a water softener at our home, but I opted not to buy the more expensive water purifier for the house. We have extra filters at the fridge and such for cooking. I drink bottled water and provide bottled water for friends and family if they ask. I made my mother throw away some she had...

    Your brain on microplastics?

    I'd have to do some digging as to how they came up with the 547 days. If it's like anything else with testing standards, I'm sure that is worst case scenario and most likely would be ok further out. Just like any other grocery item that has a best by date, you've most likely noticed a lot of...

    Your brain on microplastics?

    We test for chlorine every shift, has to be less then 0.08 ppm and is typically much lower then that (0.002 ppm). The in line sensor and the handheld have to be within +-0.04ppm. There are redundancies with all the testing which is being checked at the water farm after it's been purified by...

    Your brain on microplastics?

    I'm not sure. We store everything in the warehouse before it goes out.

    Your brain on microplastics?

    I work for the largest private water bottling company in north America. The water we bring into our plants is local tap water unless it's spring water and then it's trucked in. The specific plant I work in the water comes in somewhere around 135 ppm of particles or bacteria and after we've...

    Factory Rifle that likes 77gr TMK?

    If I had to pick between the two, then I'd pick the Ruger. The gen 2 looks nicer then the first gen, which always felt cheap to me. I've never owned one but have a few friends that do and they all seem to shoot well. I've picked up some Howa rifles and they feel cheap to me, the barrel wasn't...

    In What Order Should I Buy Gear?

    Reliable and accurate weapon system, pack, good boots, binos and then after that it depends on how you want to hunt. If you're thinking backpack, then sleeping bag and tent. If you're truck camping then you could switch things up. The longer I hunt the less important it is to me to have the...

    Looking for some courage/advice on leaving a job for a 40k pay cut per year?

    I'm in a similar situation and about to take a pay cut (not 40k but a little) to have a life again. My boys are 9 and 5 and I've been around more for the younger one and you can tell. Kids need their Dad around. I've watched my Dad live with regret about everything he missed out on when my...

    Injured in the backcountry

    I fully ruptured the same tendon walking down a steep rocky hill. Me and a friend were running a trot line in a river in Arkansas and there was a creek at the bottom of the hill that had crawdads we were going to use for bait. Not near as cool as chasing ibex. The rocks slipped and when I...

    Varmint bullet for deer

    I had a similar experience on a hog with the same caliber and bullet. I wouldn't recommend VMax for big game hunting.

    300 win mag

    I had a Browning hells canyon long range 300 WM with the 1/8 twist. It shot the 215 or 230 bergers very well. I sold it and put together a Tikka semi custom 7PRC. Shooting it suppressed is much more enjoyable then shooting the WM was.
