    Sig Zulu 6 HDX 10x30 - anyone use?

    I’ll chime in with my opinion. My pair of Zulu 6 10 x 30 are my go to Bino’s. I love them! I’ve never played with the 12s, but I really like the size of the 10x30s. I’ve used them extensively in Africa, turkey hunting, and elk hunting. I also have Sig range finding binos kilo 6K. They just sit...

    Thinking about buying a sxs for hunting. Can Am Max Defender or Polaris Xpedition

    No idea on the can-Am hydraulic ram for the dump bed. The dump bed wasn’t a huge selling feature for me on the XD 1500. But it seemed like it was a pretty sturdy system with a HD ram. It was built as a heavy duty work machine, so I’d be surprised if they skimped on that part. I was mainly...

    Thinking about buying a sxs for hunting. Can Am Max Defender or Polaris Xpedition

    I was in almost the exact same position as the OP this week. Planning to get the SXS mainly for hunting purposes out west. Little bit of work use, a little bit of around the property use. But mainly to get down trails I’m not willing to take my truck on out west. I just pulled the trigger on a...

    Are turkeys getting harder to kill?

    On public land, most definitely yes! Unfortunately, influencers, social media, YouTube hunting shows, etc. have really killed public land turkey hunting. Sad as it’s all in the name of profit. You almost can’t even enjoy working a hot bird on public land anymore. You really have to hope he...

    Tipping

    NA Hunt tipping is outside of my personal experience. I do all DIY in NA as I personally don’t see the value in going guided. Except if I ever draw an Utah bison tag, I’ll go guided on that lol. One thing I’ve always wondered about this whole hunt price % of tip on North American hunts and why...

    GWH breeders in Wisconsin German wirehaired pointers

    She just turned 5 this month. That pic was mid January 2025. So about 2 months shy of 5 years old. Shot a limit of bobwhites over her that day. She has the potential to be exceptional with professional training. But she’s very good even with my lack of formal training. I shot pointed prairie...

    GWH breeders in Wisconsin German wirehaired pointers

    https://www.bisselgradekennels.com/ I have a 5 year old female from Nathan. Awesome dog! Wish I had 2 more like her. He is a great trainer and devoted hunter. Usually only does 1 litter a year. His current female is very impressive and I believe he plans to breed her this year. In WI, worth a...

    Jackery or Bluetti power station

    I use an OUPES Portable Power Station. Bought one in 2022. 1800w, 1488wh. Been great for me. I use it whenever camping or living out of my trailer to recharge everything and run my kerug. Occasionally a mini fridge as well. Better deal than Jackery and had great testing reviews. You can get a...

    US Super Slam for Turkeys?

    This is been a really good thread. I agree with 99.9% of what has been said so far. I just thought I would give a different perspective on the above comment. I hunt turkeys in a lot of states and have since the early 2000s. Personally, I never roost birds. I may have a pretty good idea where...

    South Africa in 2026

    I did a Buffalo Hunt in Mozambique 2023, elephant hunt in Zimbabwe 2024, and going back to Mozambique this fall for Buffalo in 2025. So I’ve done the travel twice now and I’ll give you my opinion based on research and experience. I’ve flown direct from Atlanta to JoBerg both times. I will...

    Stetson Outdoor Felt “crusher” hats

    I have a Stetson mountain Sky crushable hat, and I love it for its purpose. It’s my African hunting hat. Can take it on the plane. Don’t have to worry about it if I need to jam into my pack when traveling. I wear a straw or felt Stetson 99% of the time daily wear. The crushable is great in...

    Breaking Rules, Tack, and Everything Else: My DIY Horseback Hunting Chronicle

    Sounds like you’re figuring it out as you go! I think it is often good to share the good and the bad so other can learn what to do or not to do in the future. That’s how we all learn through experience, rather personally or through other’s experiences. I’m still learning plenty myself and...

    keep the house after divorce? financial advisor?

    Having just gone through a similar situation with my divorce/mortgage assumption I feel for your friend! To answer your question, personally, I would say unless your buddy has a very large income and can be on great terms with his ex he’s gonna have to sell and split profits with her. I kept...

    Africa Packing

    I assume you’re hunting in South Africa. I hunted Mozambique last year, so I’m not sure if it correlates to South Africa. But plan to take anything you think you will need, as at least in Mozambique there is no going to the store to get something lol. Mainly meds. I brought a small amount of...

    Cape Buffalo: Euro or Shoulder Mount?

    I don’t know if I can help push you one way or the other. But I can give you a little info to think about. I just did my first Buffalo Hunt in Mozambique last October. Going through the taxidermy process currently. I decided to do a wall pedestal mount with my bull. This will be my first real...

    Knowledgeable Harley folks.....

    I don’t know that you can go wrong with either an Evo or twin cam engine. A little more data to help you make your choice. Harley built Evo engines from 1984 to 2000. In 2000 they switched over to the twin cam engine. So anything post 2000 will be twin cam. 2007 is when all models switched...

    Tired of the Pigeons

    A couple people have suggested, falconers, or professional falconers, a.k.a. Falconry Abatement services. That is what I do for a living and run my own company (Sky Predators) getting rid of Bird problems for large corporations using falcons. Unfortunately, we don’t do work for residential...

    Opinions on newer F150 onboard generators

    I have a 2022 F150 that I ordered from the factory built to my specs. I ordered the 7KW generator. I can’t comment on if Ford can install it after the fact or aftermarket. But my experience with my powerboost generator is I would never order another truck without it. I would guess the average...
