    2024 Turkey Meat Pole

    Both my kids got a bird over the past two weekends. 2 hunts, 2 birds. My daughter’s hunt was absolutely intense. That bird was so close he about stepped on us!

    Portable Camp Stoves at Lowes

    I really think it'll be a perfectly serviceable stove with(or maybe without) a tweak or two. I'd dealt with the stupid round titanium offerings in the past and this looks way nicer for use in our 12 man tipi. Heck, it might be enough stove to use in the wall tent instead of lugging around the...

    Portable Camp Stoves at Lowes

    I was thinking the same. It would be a really quick and easy tweak.

    Portable Camp Stoves at Lowes

    Got mine today. For $50 it’s a no brainer. Decent quality and a well laid out kit. If it needs a longer or wider pipe that should be an easy tweak. It’s really seems quite good for the money. I’ll certainly need to burn it in and test it before I take it on a hunt but I have high hope for it.

    Hornady Bore Driver Eld-X Range Report

    I had a chance to finally sight in my new MR-X with the 340 Bore Drivers. I shot 12 rounds, 7 with 70 grains of Blackhorn weighed on a scale. Once I had the gun sighted in I tried 80 grains of powder. 50 yards open sights. Here’s the speeds and final group. If I draw my CO or NM tag I’ll...

    Portable Camp Stoves at Lowes

    I ordered one of each also. I've been looking for a non-titanium stove option for our 12 man tipi and that price is just too good. Some of the negative reviews were about poor welds. We fab tons of metal here at work so if these stoves need a little beef I can easily tweak them.

    Kids First Knife

    I bought my 10 year old one of these this past year. He likes to field dress deer so I wanted something fixed blade, decent quality, and not expensive. I think it was $25. Heck, that's about all the knife I'd ever need too, but I have more expensive taste...

    Hot Sauce Recommendation?

    My Arizona friends turned me on to Arizona Gunslinger many years ago. It's my favorite. Great flavor, not too hot. I order it online: https://azgunslinger.com/store/pepper-sauces/

    So what cell phone did you finally buy your teenage daughter?

    This is true. My kids get around stuff on phones and iPads pretty easily. The best thing to do is limit their use and set some firm ground rules. At minimum keeping them off social media as much as I’m able and limited the time the phone can be in their hands. Last night I forgot to take my...

    So what cell phone did you finally buy your teenage daughter?

    My daughter just turned 13 and we got her a phone last year since her and my 11 year old son are sometimes home alone. We went with a previous year model I-phone. It's a pretty basic I-phone 13. We have a decent number of rules on it: -Screen time is limited. -No phones in bedroom in the...

    Crazy Big Game Draw Stories

    I have a friend in AZ that has drawn antelope, bison, RM sheep, and desert sheep in AZ, all with well below max points. I believe he drew the sheep with something like 7 and 12 points. Yeah he's a resident, but still.

    Franchi Affinity. It'll be at the top of your budget for a wood one though.

    Quitting Alcohol

    Oh yeah. I’m around heaving drinking all the time. Most everyone I know is a heavy drinker. If I wasn’t around drinking I’d have no friends around here. When I’m around it, it just seems silly. I used to be one of the guys that would stay around drinking til the last man. Now if I’m at an event...

    Quitting Alcohol

    Just passed 18 months. Pretty well on cruise control at this point. I walked by a pretty popular local brewery the other evening and everyone was looking happy and having fun with the patio open and stuff. I told my wife that was one part of drinking I missed. But that thought faded pretty fast...

    Colorado Hunter Eduction

    I just put Firearm for mine even though in IL it's a generic class. I really don't think it matters?

    Rental car limiting your hunt?

    My only complaint about rental trucks is you don't know what tires you'll get. We rented a piece of crap newer Dodge Ram a few years ago. It had the cheap, thin Goodyear Wrangler road tires on it. We popped two tires on some AZ forest roads that were NOT bad roads. These are the pretty nice...

    50 cal load for youth?

    I went through this exercise with my kids when they first started. I started with 35 grains of Blackhorn by weight and a 200 grain Traditions Smackdown XR. Chrono was around 1250 fps. Recoil was absolutely nothing. Once they shot that a little I snuck up to 40 grains by weight. We killed...
