    That's fine. Anything can be hacked. Just like a locked door keeps out honest people.

    Son’s first shotgun

    Just start with a normal pump 12g. He's average adult male height, and a mass produced gun is made for averages. Shooting low brass is very recoil friendly, 7/8oz load. Slugs kick but it's not a plinking round, or they make reduced recoil slugs. In 6 years, if he keeps growing, a 20g might...

    Odd brake issue 2002 Tundra

    When's the last time you have new brake fluid put in and the lines bled fully? Brake fluid is hydroscopic, which means it ABSORBS water. Brakes get hot, water boils off and leaves air in an 'hydraulic' line. Supposed to change very 3-5 years.

    Let's talk money. Budgets. Life.

    As a younger person, soon approaching my 30's. I just had this talk with a buddy while striper fishing. How do people afford this stuff? And all I can come up with is living it up now and will be struggling later. comparison is the thief of joy. New trucks, boats, quads, tractors, guns... I...

    Do you keep your vehicle clean?

    Yep, I clean it in the late winter when hunting is over and fill it with fishing gear. And then late fall when fishing dies down and hunting is in full swing it gets cleaned and gear swapped again. October is a messy month, to many things are active. Freshwater, stripers, deer, duck, bear... so...

    Home all in one

    Computers are all the same, lenovo is fine. If you get that big a discount, go i7, 16gb ram. 1tb nvme and it will perform and last a long time. And a back up 3tb hard drive, trust me, back up the photos, it means more to her than anything else. As for printers, brother is covered under Lenovo...

    Shotgun Slug Scope Recs

    North east and shotgun only, so either MASS, CT or NJ. I am in NJ and the gun of choice is a savage 220 with a nikon slughunter 3x9 scope which is good out to 200 yards. Tack driver and powerful. I dont like 20 gauge slugs, they work, but more expensive and sometimes hard to find. Buy a...

    Garmin Smartwatches vs Apple

    I have a garmin instinct, it's great for simple things, but not very accurate. It often doesnt recognize steps or distance when moving slow, hell even sometimes when trail running. But battery lasts forever, I use the face for time, barometer trends, sunrise/sunset and heart rate. The ability to...

    Nitto vs Toyo (265/60/20")

    I have 2005 ram 2500 with toyo H/T 265/70/r17 E (high way terrain) and with 30k miles, im hoping to get 10k more, but I dont think it's going to happen. Very surprised especially with a highway tread tire. Im shopping around trying to see if I can find a good deal in the next year. I dislike...

    Out of State Hunting / Fishing Adventures with Buddies

    Im looking into Alaska fishing, it's relatively cheap for a 4-5 day charter for halibut and salmon, food and lodging included. My biggest expense is living near NYC, the flight is equal to the cost of the trip. Id also like to do a SD pheasant trip, it's more inclusive to fat friends, and...

    Monster Transmissions , anybody use them ?

    When I bought my ram 2500 it HAD a monster trans 48re (shitty no matter what) and it lasted me 63 days from when I bought the truck. Thankfully, found a car dealer who didn't know what they had and got it for a good deal, and they even had a 90 day warranty. They covered the cost of putting a...

    New to hunting..whitetail as an adult- gear check list / help.

    If you need more than an fanny pack, your doing it wrong IMO, unless backpack hunting in the wilderness with camp on your back. I roll with a fanny pack that has a compass, pen, 10' of paracord, extra release, water bottle, snack, headlamp, knife, license. Back packs tend to acquire extra...

    Adirondack hunting ally

    I would never shame anyone for killing to survive. Back woods of Maine was eye opening to me in almost every aspect. It will always be poaching by law definitions, but after spending time in some rural parts, I understand. These were no horn hunter, no social media, not even photos. Now there's...

    Adirondack hunting ally

    Poaching is a NE staple, baiting, road hunting. When I lived in Maine, a surprising amount of people shoot moose in the summer, but all were dirt poor and their favorite food was canned moose. As long as it snows i'd like to head to GMNF, weekend before thanksgiving to thanksgiving. It also...

    Go-To Clothing

    Cant beat wool. Tractor supply has nice big bill wool pants, I prefer bibs. But I always have a pair of mil surpuls wool glove liners in my fanny pack. Reg pair and fingers cut off, depends on how cold the day really is.
