    Stuff overheard at the range or local gun shop

    I worked part time at a local gun store for many years. Heard a lot of things. Craziest conversation I ever had was with a lady who came looking to buy a handgun. I showed her several different ones and she found one she liked. She then asked me about the process of purchasing one. I...

    2024 Iowa Draw

    Points only for me this year. Spent the last 2 years doing the late muzzleloader hunt. That’s a fun hunt and I’ve gotten to know that Zone very well now. My plan is archery hunt that area in a few years and then will go back to late muzzy hunting.

    How did the 6.5 Creedmoor lose steam so quickly?

    Yea, the 6.5 creedmoor hasn’t gone anywhere. My friend owns a LGS. He tells me he sells 5 6.5 CMs to every one of any other caliber. Says 308 is about the only thing that even competes with sales. This is hunting rifles. He’s owned this gun store for 30 yrs and he said he thought the 6.5...

    Lifetime License

    My wife bought me mine as a wedding gift. Best gift I’ve ever received. Back then it was $500 for a lifetime sportsman license. Yearly license was $40 then. Now it’s $830 for lifetime and $70 for a yearly. I bought both of children their lifetime license when they were infants. You could...

    300 Blackout vs 6.5 Grendel

    Grendel all the way. 300 blk is a 150 yd gun. Grendel is a 300 yd round. I’ve killed deer with both and while they both are effective I prefer the Grendel.

    Most expensive thing you lost while hunting

    About 20 yrs ago I was hunting some public land in NC. I shot a doe right around dark. I had a back pack full of crap, a bulky climbing stand, a brand new bow that I had about $1000 invested in. I was dragging the deer by hand, bow in one hand backpack and climber strapped to my back. After...

    How do you celebrate the 4th of July?

    Working. Someone has to take care of all the morons who blow their fingers/faces off while setting off fireworks.

    Mount zirkel wilderness archery elk

    It’s been several years since I’ve hunted that area but if it’s where I am thinking then yes it’s an outfitter but I cannot recall their name. They run a lot of hunters into that area.

    Exercise reduces depression

    At the height of the pandemic I was stressed to the max. Working long hours in the ER was stressful enough, but then there was all the added life stress of everything else that came with the pandemic. I was drinking heavily, angry at everyone, gaining weight and just generally turning into a...

    Get your business in order

    Never too early to think about this stuff. My parents are only in their early 60s but I have sat down with them and discussed medical POA, end of life decisions etc. Also financial side of things. Don’t care about money if something happens to them, but someone needs to know where and how to...

    What's your "Happy place"?

    Just about anywhere in the Appalachian Mountains. They may not be as impressive as the Rockies but man I love them hills.

    A tag in the hand vs secondary draw?

    16 hours isn’t that bad. I drive to Iowa nearly every year and it’s 16 hours. Leave really early in the morning (around 3-330). Gets me there around 8pm or so. Plenty of time to rest up and hit the woods early the next day. It’s 26 hours to Colorado for me. We used to drive straight...

    Any 12 hour night shift workers?

    I always seem to hit a wall around 3-4am. But that’s not really any different than when I worked day shift. I would hit the same wall around 4pm. I generally sleep from 9-330. Get up and work out for 45-1 hr. Then have some time to just chill before I head to work. Pretty much same...

    Nightshifters

    It’s either leftovers from dinner or pack PB and J and fruit. Since I switched to nights about 7 months ago, I’ve found that I eat healthier and I save money. I don’t ever eat in the cafeteria and I eat way more fruit now, for some reason.

    Kill your dog and your political career at the same time

    It’s a dog. Not a person. She didn’t torture it. She didn’t just kill it for the thrill of killing it. She had a reason. The dog was a tool that wasn’t performing. So she got rid of it. I’ve put a few down in my day. While I didn’t enjoy the act, it was something that had to be done. I...

    Don't underestimate old guy strength

    I’m 40 and in the best shape of my life. I run/cycle with a group who range in age from 24-58. While I can usually hang with and sometimes beat some of the younger people in my group, it definitely takes me longer to recover. That being said, there is a guy in our group who is 55 and blows...

    High AST & ALT Liver Numbers

    Do you take a lot of Tylenol? Many reasons your liver enzymes can be elevated. Even a recent viral illness can sometimes jack them up a little. Yours aren’t terribly elevated. I wouldn’t fret too much.

    Glacier National Park in May

    I haven’t looked at the snow pack in that area but I know several years ago I was in that area in first week of June and basically the only thing that was open the visitor center. Most of the park was still under significant amounts of snow.
