    Mortons Neuroma surgery experience

    Figured I'd share my experience here as going in to this injury I honestly couldn't find a lot of stories out there, and most were pretty doom and gloom. Thanks to some folks on rockslide that gave me some tips and suggestions to look into. If you aren't familiar with Mortons Neuroma, it's a...

    Inreach Mini 2 vs. Mini is it worth upgrading?

    FWIW I have the mini (1) and my buddy had the mini 2. Only difference we could see was that I had to charge every 5 days where he made it 10.

    Habitat Improvement

    Don't get me wrong, big bluestem and canada/virginia wild rye is awesome stuff and great bedding too. Where I'm at we're next to a pretty busy county road and like the extra height. Great point though. I know there are invasive miscanthus species but the stuff we use is classed as non-invasive

    To stop thief from getting your guns in truck

    Totally get not leaving your guns in the vehicle at the hotel, I never do either. Will be heading out to Wyoming griz land in archery this year though and will leave a 12 ga. in the truck for the 2nd meat run. Anybody had issues or have a preferred method of securing while in the backcountry...

    Habitat Improvement

    The biggest draw for planting miscanthus is to use it as a cover screen, I don't think there is really any forage value to it for deer once it matures. If you aren't familiar with the stuff its almost like bamboo, grows pretty thick and can get over 10 ft tall. People will use it to shelter off...

    Habitat Improvement

    Yeah definitely get ahead of it well before hand. We really struggled to keep the ragweed down and think we'd be a bit further along had we treated the fall prior.

    It hates competition though so you have to be diligent with chemicals unfortunately

    Habitat Improvement

    Wall Hanger Food Plots out of Paynesville. I bet you'll be able to get it to grow. When I was younger we had a 40 west of Onamia and I feel like we had some there.

    Yep in MN west of the cities, Miscanthus is on year one but so far so good. I'd say over 70% of the rhizomes made it through the winter. Waited until late may to plant so maybe that helped a bit.

    Whats your threshold for pain?

    Not sure as long as there are a few lower options, but definitely bumped out of the Wyoming special

    Minnesota shotgun zone changes??

    I guess I can get behind that. After almost getting shot while bowhunting the gun season on public I could be ok with spreading the pressure out a bit over the fall.

    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    Not too crazy but definitely the most scared I've been in the woods. I went to college in the prairie country of Minnesota. There wasn't a whole lot of public ground, but there were a few pretty large swamps that kept people out. Scouting the edge of the corn in October I found an absolutely...

    Minnesota shotgun zone changes??

    Emailed the DNR to ask about the change and heard this back. The Minnesota DNR did not propose this regulation change; the change came about through the state legislature. The plan is to allow crossbows to be used as legal equipment for the archery deer season. Since this legislation was only...

    Newbie Elk Hunt Story

    Enjoyed your story! I was a Gustie and was just down on the river by you looking for some big cats the other night. Will be headed out to Wyoming myself this year. PM me any time if you want to chat.

    Anybody prefer waterproof footboxes on their bags?

    I think this will be the way I go for now, that'll still end up being lighter than getting something like the Nemo bags

    Habitat Improvement

    Worked in prairie resto for awhile. Convinced my parents to turn the old hayfield into some good habitat. Put in a huge giant miscanthus buffer to give wildlife some privacy from the road, planted a ryegrass pollinator mix on the uplands, and boosted the wetlands a bit. Already seeing doe beds...
