    Two party system: a necessary evil?

    Plan one party at your desired location. Invite those you want to attend. If they show up great, if not, no big deal. Parties are for the kids so let them be kids. If adults don’t like it then why the heck are they coming to a kids party?

    Who pokes their dead animal in the eye?

    I have never have and never will. It’s pretty easy to tell when an animal is dead. The only animals I poke are in the leg above the hoof and they are lying in a knock box. They are dead, we just poke them to see if their reflexes are done firing so we don’t get kicked when we pull them out of...

    Things you have noticed in the gym

    I’ve never seen anything because I don’t go to the gym. Embrace your dad bod! 🤣 I get enough of an upper body workout everyday lifting and moving around quarters of beef all day. I seriously need to do some legwork and cardio though. Just need to actually use my 3 machines in my basement.

    Teach Backcountry Navigation with this one easy trick!

    I carry flagging tape with me but really only use it to mark location of where the animal was when I shot it. When I’m done I always take it down and carry it out. I actuallly prefer to use toilet paper to flag a blood trail when needed and that’s only to mark the last spot of blood or maybe the...

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

    This is an easy fix. All you have to do is let everyone know that you are hunting with a braked rifle instead of suppressed and you will have the whole place to yourself.

    Snack sticks without preservatives

    No need to use citric acid unless you like that tang flavor. I don’t like it so I don’t use it. I do use sodium nitrate but that isn’t necessary either. You can use celery or cherry powder instead which will change to a sodium nitrate during the cooking process. I just vacuum seal it all and...

    Injured in the backcountry

    Just found out late last night that my BIL was thrown from his horse. Broke his shoulder and it may be dislocated. If it is dislocated he will have surgery right away. I’m not sure of all the details yet but I do know that NM G&F had to go in and help get him out of the backcountry. His best...

    KUIU pant sizing change?

    I wear a 36 but buy a 38 in everything no matter the brand. I would rather have it a little loose when not layering and wear a belt or suspenders. I absolutely hate tight fitting athletic built clothes.

    Sign at Twin Falls County fair in Idaho

    There are similar signs posted at the soccer fields where all 3 of my kids play. We usually keep our comments to ourselves of course but sometimes the calls a ref makes sure makes it obvious which team they favor.

    Injured in the backcountry

    Wow! That’s a rough mountain to be on with an injury like that. I took a pretty good spill last time I was there sliding down loose rock towards a 200 foot drop off. That scared the snot out of me. I’ve hunted there 4 times and it never gets any easier. Good luck on your rehab.

    Grinder mushing meat

    Sounds to me like the plate and blade aren’t fitting tight. The plate and blade will get smaller after use and sharpening. This will create some play between the plate, blade, and auger creating a gap where the meat won’t get cut and the auger will try to push the meat through. This will also...

    Changing up Arrow build for Caribou

    It’s always better to get your form down first. Definitely do some tuning to get good arrow flight but don’t over do it. I think too many hunters focus so much on exact arrow flight and hitting quarter size targets at 80 yards we forget about form. Repeatable anchor, grip, release, follow...

    Last minute boot change reco….

    Meindl. They also sell a wider boot in their comfort series. I’m pretty happy with the Vakuum hikers. 7 3/4” tall, all leather with a rubber rand. My last pair of Meindl’s have lasted me for about 18 years but I only wore them hunting and scouting

    Suppressed vs Non-Suppressed Hunting

    I can’t eat, sleep, or even be productive at work because I’m so worried if someone won’t shoot with me. I wake up in a cold sweat when I do sleep from the nightmare this thread has become. When I’m fully awake and calm and realize it’s just a dream, I realize that it doesn’t matter if I’m a...
