    Emergency Kit

    A blade of some sort. Small SAK models will have a blade and tweezers. I like to carry a single-dose size of crazy glue. Works for slice-type wounds and some gear repair too.

    Anyone excited for PA Rocklock season?

    It's definitely a fun time. Frustrating for sure at times, but a blast doing flintlock drives or still-hunting in the laurel thickets in the gamelands.

    Kent faststeel 3.5's jamming

    This will not help you, but I've had that experience with several shotshell manufacturers over the years. I've also got a case of Rio BBs that are crimped so blasted hard that they blow the ends of the hulls right out of the muzzle and make a mockery of my patterns. Shoot enough shot shells and...

    Savage actions

    Generally, what is referred to as a new action has both action bridges rounded in shape. The old 110 had a flat-top rear action bridge. As far as I know, all accu-trigger equipped Savage guns should be the double-round bridges.

    Pheasant numbers in South Dakota?

    Thanks for that info. Yes we are going DIY on walk in and public land. Success or not, the experience of the chase on wild birds on the prairies with my father is the payoff.

    Kids fishing rod/reel recommendation

    Check out underspin type reels. It's a good transition toward a proper spinning reel when the time comes to advance. For rods its hard to beat a Shakespeare ugly stick for a kid. Pretty tough to break one of those.

    Red dot for a vision impaired dad

    Adding to the above comment, astigmatisms will cause the red dot to be more of a star burst. It is generally considered that a prism red dot optic, whether magnified or not should alleviate this if that is part of his vision ailments.

    Packable down blanket.

    The Costco throw is popular with the hammocking crowd. I modified one into a top quilt. The instructions I followed had me pull out the vertical rows of stitches which allows the down to loft much better in the newly formed baffles than in the squares they have sewn it into.

    Dove opener, Iowa

    Nicely done. Great-looking pair you've got. Was this on a patch of public ground that is managed specifically for dove hunting?

    Backcountry Keto

    Good link there. Only to add foods that i like to pack that are admittedly not meals per se: - 1/2 jar of plain, no-sugar-added peanut butter mixed with 1/2 jar worth of either butter or coconut oil. Add lite salt to taste. This keeps up the calories from the fat, but cuts down on the carbs...

    Waterfowl Wader Recommendations

    I know the OP has made a purchase already, but for anyone else in the market another option is the USIA waders. They are a dry-suit manufacturer that also makes waders from dry-suit fabric. I got a pair made for me by them and they have been bomber for 2 years so far. They are super tall going...

    Show off your Savage!

    Thanks. Jeff (RIP) at CDI did the inletting when I purchased the bottom metal. I did have to add some filler and re-contour a little around the bottom metal before I added the paint job. I think the Stockade stocks (I have 2) are very well made, and they can be had in basically any of the action...

    What hunt doesn’t interest you?

    Bear hunting never appealed to me for no particular reason.
