    Strategy for Other Hunters in "Your" Spot

    I'll be the umpteenth answer to say, "Get there first." I do think it is an interesting question if you get there first, second guy gets there and stays. Part of me would not want to reward the behavior I see as outside normal ethics. You are just teaching the other guy that failing to honor...

    Big game wound/recovery ratio

    I cast my vote for lost 1 in 20 but my track record is better than that. I hunted into my 40's before I failed to recover anything I poked a hole in. Unfortunately I did wound a mule deer that I didn't recover when I first started hunting Montana. I was not prepared for the distances out west...

    Are you taking this bet?

    No way. I don't think about an animal's score while I'm hunting nor would I want to. That much money on the line, I think I'd think of little else.

    Identify this old broadhead?

    I don't have a clue, but very cool whatever it is.

    Ouray County Colorado wolves?

    Living where I do in Northern Minnesota I am fairly familiar with wolves...and coyotes. I trust myself to tell the difference. I'm not picking a fight with anyone else who trusts themselves to tell the difference but I do take issue with the phrase(s) "You can tell..." or "Its easy to tell..."...

    TROY SESSIONS TELLS ALL_ Rafts_Game bags_ exposing the truth..

    I had an awesome weekend of goose hunting and walleye fishing on the river. Hadn't logged in to Rokslide all weekend and see I missed...well, something. I'm glad that I'm back at work so I could catch up.

    T & K Binocular Harness Giveaway

    Right now I'm most looking forward to early season goose hunting. But that is only because it opens this Sunday in MN and I'll be in a layout blind listening to the young (dumb) geese come in to my dekes. Overall I'm most excited for Montana mule deer with my dad. He is 72 and has already...

    Ontario Canada Fishing Recommendation

    It is hard to beat Rainy Lake. I agree that the Canadian side of Lake of the Woods is awesome (both sides actually). Think Nestor Falls, etc. There is dynamite smallouth fishing in the Atikokan area. I have a family Cabin on Marmion Lake. Depending on your goals research the regulations...

    Guys that drive a long ways to hunt, what are your less common(but important) pieces of gear/tools you're sure to keep in the truck?

    I keep a tow strap, jumper cables, small compressor and a plug kit in my truck at all times anyway. I've plugged tires for pretty girls in the grocery store parking lot!

    A health revolution brewing?

    I had a secretary in my office a few years ago. She left to travel abroad for her husband's job with their family. She still brings her boys back every summer to see their friends and so she can catch up with the office. Her kids get stomach issues their first few days back eating "American...

    I got smoked buying a knife off a FB group. Anything I can do?

    Why didn't you say so? I have a couple of those laying around. Send me $250 in cash and I'll drop one in the mail to you. Sorry, too soon?

    Jimmy John kills potential new state record sheep in NM

    I've never been on a sheep hunt and likely never will. Most of us have opinions on it. Not that it matters much but here is mine. I like the current model. A mix of draws, raffles & auction allows the most opportunity and the most money for conservation. Draws fit with the North American...

    I got smoked buying a knife off a FB group. Anything I can do?

    When they ask you to pay them via a method that takes away your protection, the crooks are TRYING to tell you caveat emptor.

    What Fish Would You And The Kids Want To Catch?

    I'm not sure you could do this privately or even if the Minnesota DNR tries this anymore. I know that years ago they had a program of chemically killing off a lake that they intended on stocking with trout. Depending on regulations, grant requirements & amount of money, that could be an option...

    Ever have to carry your dog off a trail?

    I had to carry one of my dogs out of the woods twice. Once I believe it was heat exhaustion or nearly so. Early season grouse hunt and he just went too hard. I made him stop and drink water and he just laid on his side and threw it up. Panting heavily. I made the decision if he couldn't slow...

    Summer Olympics?

    I've been watching a fair amount. Some of the sports I just don't know enough about or keep my attention (bike racing). But the nationalism and reward for years of unbelievably hard work just win me over. I liked to see Simone Biles come back after her struggles last go-round. (I liked her more...

    Was scrolling through your post in the "cool back country finds" thread. I'm certainly not asking for GPS coordinates, but do you mind telling me the state you found those petroglyphs? Very cool!

    New career, getting out of law enforcement

    There was one suggest to become a lawyer and Gray_Law said it worked for him. I'd recommend against it. The amount of schooling you will pay for in order to get the degree doesn't make it worth it. I love my job but if I had it all to do over again, I probably would not go to law school. I...

    200 inch typical vs 200 inch nontypical

    Weak G1s. What a shame. Could have really been something next year.

    Knife Recommendations

    You've heard a lot of opinions here and I don't know that mine is any better than an others. I too am scared of the replacement blades. Like others have said, even when being super careful it feels like I'm on the verge of cutting myself badly. I own a replacement blade and I know they have...
