    Taking your kids hunting

    I’ve always taken my kids to the woods very early in life. The baby of 3 will be 15 next week and she was checking trail cameras with me before she could walk. She would ride in the chest harness baby carrier and we would travel the property. We would “deer hunt” when she was 2-3. We had a blind...

    Vertical Electric Pellet Smokers with Wifi

    I’ve got the pit boss. It does good. I wish it would put off a little more smoke. But it does hold heat well and the wifi is nice. I’ve done butts, ribs, brisket, burgers, wings, summer sausage,deer quarters, and even peach pie. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Giant City Whitetails

    I’ve got some spots in the city limits of Atlanta. Definitely some big deer around but still hard to kill. They are not tame by any means. It’s nothing to hear kids playing, people doing yard work or deliver truck backing up but step foot into their area and they know you are there. I’ve been...

    Maine Bear - Great Northern Outfitters

    My buddy and I are hunting with them the first week of the season. I’ve talked with Dan several times and with some of his references before booking and everything seems to point to being a quality outfitter. Hopefully in a little over a month I can be posting pictures and sharing out...

    Black gold

    I’ve shot the last 2 season of ASA tournaments with pins and a 6x lens. I’m not a fan of the lenses that come from black gold. The convex shape gave me poi changes and glare in different lighting situations. I replaced it with a flat glass 1 5/8” lens. And really like that combo. I also have to...

    WTB Site for sons first bow

    I don’t have a sight for sale but when my daughter was that age she had an HHA and we would sight in in feet instead of yards. This allowed us to us the pre made tapes. So 75 yards on the tape would be scaled to 75’ or 25 yard in measured distance. Or 60yards on the tape would be 60’ or 20...

    Georgia hunting

    I would recommend starting to put in for quota hunts and start building points. There are a couple of hunts that I would pay good money to go on that you can do for free. Shoot me a message and I’ll help y’all some. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Any Idaho electricians on here

    I passed my Georgia test and earlier this month had the 1 year anniversary of the company I started. My son now works for me and we are able to make our own schedule and have hunted more this season than ever before. Good luck to you on all your future endeavors! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    any appliance guys on here? need a new set

    I agree with everyone saying Speed Queen. Got tired of having to repair or replace within 5 years. Took awhile to find some in stock but definitely worth the money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Any wisdom for a first time miss?

    I’m in my 30th season bow hunting and have killed well over 100 animals with a bow. I still get shook up when I come to full draw. When that quits I’ll quit too. The best thing to do is shoot animals. There is no other practice for it. Until you have filled several truck beds full don’t pass...

    Hiking/trail/ everyday shoe

    The altra lone peak 4.5 are what I’ve been wearing everywhere for the last 2 years or more I’m an electrician so wear them in all sorts of situations from concrete slabs, in the dirt and up ladders all day. I elk hunter the year even carried my 60ish lb pack with no issues. There are the only...

    Short Hunts - out of town hunts

    Probably a good idea to slip in with wind in your face and scout slowly while finding a place to hunt. With the moon almost full could see some later mornings early afternoon movement. Not sure what phase of rut the deer are in but sitting all day never hurts. Find the food and you will find the...

    2021 Best Whitetail Photo Contest, sponsored by First Lite

    Here is my second entry for the contest. I shot this buck on an island off the coast of Georgia about 600 yards from the Atlantic Ocean. The deer on the island are a smaller subspecies and a mature buck will will be right at 100lbs. Mine weight an estimated 120lbs and scored 112 1/8” which is a...

    2021 Best Whitetail Photo Contest, sponsored by First Lite

    Had pictures of this buck all summer long. Waited for the right wind and slipped in and killed him about 1 1/2 hours into the first sit. He was the 11th deer we saw that evening. The shot was 25 yards and he made it about 80. This is on a small piece of property here in Georgia. He will beat the...

    From Georgia to Colorado budget. Mainly for gas

    I buy coolers when I get there. Last year I picked up 2 large coolers in Denver from Sam’s club. Filled with ice and locked in the back of the rental truck. Unfortunately last year we didn’t kill anything so when I got home I returned them to Sam’s. If I would have killed some thing I would have...

    From Georgia to Colorado budget. Mainly for gas

    Southwest now flies to Montrose from Atlanta a couple times a week. We typically fly out and drive back. There is 2 of us so we split all cost with the rental car and gas for coming home. This year the rental car is about triple what we paid last year. We like being able to drive back because we...
