    First bulls 9 years for me and 4 for my wife we both got it done this year. Hard work and determination pays off!

    Congrats! Took me 20 years to put my first bull on the ground. It's a grind but an adventure all the way! Awesome job!

    Taxidermist for Mountain Lion in Idaho or close?

    http://www.philipsoucy.com/about.tpl Hands down THE BEST cat taxidermist I've ever seen. He does other work that is excellent as well. Not cheap, but he is the best. BTW, he enjoys doing cats. There's a reason he's known as CATMAN in a lot of places.

    Help me get over my fear

    Sounds like it may not just be a knowledge issue but a confidence issue, which likely won't be totally addressed by being good or just learning to fish and hunt. That said, in all endeavors, we don't know what we don't know and everyone started at zero on the learning curve, some just...

    Big D*** Revolvers

    There are a myriad of .44 Magnum loads available on the market, when you include .44 Special, well, you get to choose your own adventure. You can go all the way from pussycat to Siberian tiger and anything in between. After many .44s, I've yet to find one that I didn't enjoy. That said...

    NFA trust?

    OP, hope you don't mind the question to your thread. Does a seperate trust for a suppressor conflict with an individual's estate trust in any way? I'm guessing they can be combined somehow, just wondering if it's better to work with an estate attorney and add the suppressor in to that trust...

    Your favorite hunting knife?

    @Trees91 Is the knife on the bear paw a kestrel with added scales? Update, my apologies, i see its the hogue. I didn't read thorough enough. Lol

    Mercy kill?

    Probably odd man out here, but if an animal is still mobile, I leave them alone unless I injured them (poor shot during season, etc.). An animal that is hobbling, broken leg, shoulder, etc., but still mobile goes on their way. I've seen several bucks trailing does with severe limps and...

    300 win mag options

    Maybe a 300 WSM instead? Make a Limbsaver pad replacement. Slightly less recoil in a light package that doesn't give up much performance. And it's threaded. Only reason I mentioned it, thinking of the same idea for a general purpose MT rifle...

    Hunting for "mature" deer rather than antler size.

    I plan to start submitting teeth for aging from both my elk and deer. Trying to learn to corroborate or maybe analyze my cyphered guess vs true aging.

    Getting Deer In the Truck?

    Game warden around here used to have an ATV winch mounted to the headache rack. Worked slick with a ramp.

    Hunting for "mature" deer rather than antler size.

    @TradLife406 Thanks for that posting. Thought I was going to fill a tag last night, at first. A 3.5 year old made an appearance, neck full into the brisket, a bit of belly on him but not sagging, straight backed, and his hips and shoulders weren't "boxer" heavy. First glance said older...

    Hunting for "mature" deer rather than antler size.

    We definately hunt 4.5 year olds on the family midwest farm. And yep, I'm not turning down a 150+" deer, i don't care how old he is. But it's a real challenge finding the 4.5s on public land. Might go a few seasons before I find one and the right 3.5 might be too big a temptation. But i...

    Hunting for "mature" deer rather than antler size.

    I'm still prone to looking at antlers first. After killing plenty of whitetails, I find myself looking for "mature" whitetails. I've defined mature for me as 4.5 or older, as they seem to be easier to field judge than younger stuff, though not always. Anyone else prefer hunting for age class...

    Tried and failed at casting

    Make sure you are dealing with good quality lead/alloy. If wheel weights, melted zinc will cause issues, make sure you only use lead wheel weights (getting rare these days). If lead is good quality, make sure you flux well through the process. Fine saw dust, commercial flux, all work to...

    What’s your ideal hunting truck?

    There is something to be said for hunting out of an old beater. Mine was a 1986 Ford F-150 4x4, with a hi-rise topper and a 302 automatic. 12-13 mpg on a good day, doggy, and 170k on the second motor when I bought it for $1050, including and extra set of mounted winter tires. Good winter/mud...

    Fight a bear?

    IF I find myself fighting a bear, something went horribly and epically wrong. But if I fight a bear, I'll fight to win. I know what the odds say. I can't argue they'd be wrong. But I don't wish to enter such a fray already deciding I've lost!

    Custom mobility training?

    @Ridge Runner https://www.mindpumpmedia.com/maps-prime https://www.mindpumpmedia.com/maps-prime-pro I've used them for a warmup or some routines, but not as a dedicated workout plan.
