    Photography- one photo a day

    Camping with my best bud. Friends since college in 1986. Through a lot of good and bad together, jobs, layoffs, parents passing, just a lot of life among friends. No matter how far apart we make it a point to get together periodically, and it's always like no time has passed. Now he lives less...

    Any way you all found to get the rubber taste out of water bladder

    Photography- one photo a day

    This is just north of Edisto on a local sea island. Saw four in two mile daylight hike. They were very actively calling just after dark and in the morning. I love how they will answer turkey calls.

    What do you want from your woman?

    I was hospitalized for 4 days as a child and Mom gave me a stuffed lion to keep me company. Years later my dog ate the face off. My lovely wife put the pieces into a bag and kept it in a closet. Fifteen years later she secretly coordinated a repair with her, my mom, and her mom each...

    Hunter attacked by dogs

    Happened to me, but I was packing. 9 dogs (pit mixes of various shapes and sizes) running all over our hunt club, trying to kill fawns. Saw fawn twins on one side of the field and the doe running around, stomping and snorting on the other. She was trying to draw the pack away from her fawns. I...

    Kuiu piece you can’t hunt without?

    Attack pants except in Lowcountry summer, then Pranas. Attack pants have plenty of zip pockets plus the huge vents. And are ultra comfortable. Also great for international travel.

    Suppressor wait times

    Called ATF. Spoke with a human. Why isn't this automated? Also, why does this take 300x longer than buying a ******* gun? Don't answer. Rhetorical question. "Waiting for FBI background" Submitted 7/7/2023: Trust through Silencer Shop.

    3rd Row SUV Experiences

    I drove trucks until buying an Expedition in my 30s. Only Expeditions since. Just fits my lifestyle better. I don't haul much stuff. I have a trailer when needed. The EXP has a bathtub liner in back, so hauling bloody deer isn't a problem. I love being able to camp in the back. Love the secure...

    Ever Used Your Sidearm While Hunting?

    Hunting? Once on an aggressive pack of feral dogs, about 9 of them. Off road dirtbike riding? Once to hold a guy until the sheriff arrived. He was chasing a young girl through the woods. She was terrified.

    Traveling to New Zealand with fire arm

    I don't think NZ requires this. At least they didn't ask me about it. It's for getting back into USA.
