    Creepy experiences in the backcountry

    I've hunted on the edge of a small family grave yard from the 1920s. It was kinda creepy but also thr perfect spot to shot a buck that was walking the bench right below the graveyard. But I shot a buck there and so did another buddy. There are a ton of family grave yards in Central NC. Alot...

    Balcony waterproofing membrane.

    ^ i agree with above. Tile on exterior areas over living space is a bad idea. no matter the system you use you will have a leak again at some point. If your in an area where freezing can occur its going to happen faster. only time that there hasn't been a leak is if a continuous concrete slab...

    What’s the coolest thing you found in the back country

    you'd be surprised at how fast nature will take back old road beds, two tracks, and rail road lines and you'd think they were never there. Here in the southern Appalachians you'll find old logging train tracks in places you'd never think a train would get to. I found a winch that was probably...

    What’s your go-to for “Straight Wall” season?

    WNC here as well. longest shot is 60ish yards up in the woods. I have a 1895 trapper 45-70 also. got alot of crap for getting it saying it was over kill. But when the deer drop where you shoot them you dont loose them in the thick mountain laurel.

    Ruffed grouse

    I'm in Western NC on Tennessee line so hunt both states. Id say habit loss is the biggest one. Most of our forest are predominantly poplar forest now, not alot of food for any animals. Predators are through the roof raccoons are at an all-time high number since no one hunts or traps them now. I...

    Charter fishing - tip

    @Dewy all over it i think. Even if you dont catch fish or alot of fish if the Capt. is putting some serious effort into trying to find fish ill still tip good. not his fault they aint biting. On the other hand if its slow and he's doing nothing to change things up hes gonna get a smaller tip.

    Cornerstone Gun Dog Academy experience?

    All my dogs are collar conditioned. My 2.5 year old dog hasn't even been toned in probably 6 months but always has a collar on just in case. Only time I don't have an e collar on my dog when we are out and about is during a field trial. Hiking, going to the lake, walking around town, outside...
