    Bear attack or homicide in Montana

    I may be missing something, but a decoy tent makes no sense to me. A person set on killing you is going to look in the decoy tent and not find anybody so then he is just going to call it a day and not check the 2nd tent??

    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    Vehicles now days are lasting longer than ever. Remember when a truck had 100k on it and it was basically wore out? (Someone will now come along and tell the story about their 1985 that had 400k on it--that is the exception, not the rule) Now, trucks with 150k are selling for big bucks. So...

    Balancing sleep with time hunting

    We travel a long distance to hunt out west. I do not like driving all night. It seems you can never really recover from that and pay for it all week. Everyone wants to get there as early as possible, but I personally want to stop about 11 pm, hit a hotel, then off again by 6. Those 7 hours...

    Any pheasant hunters here, surprised with trip to South Dakota

    Dress in layers so you can shed a layer. You will likely overdress. Thin layers are way better than 1 big heavy coat. I hunt MN and ND and I will never wear a heavy coat even if below zero. Bring a bottle of water if hot. Make sure you wear safety glasses as you will likely be hunting with...

    I don't know why this bothers me, but there names for their clothing really puts me off! I just can't get past it. Obviously a dumb reason for not trying it, but it is what it is!

    Newer Truck vs. Low Mileage Old Truck

    One thing I have noticed in the older vs new argument is that 100K miles was once the line in the sand for a truck to be towards the end of its useful life. Now it seems to be about 200K. I cannot wrap my head around the prices on trucks that have 150K miles or more on the odometer! Many...

    Reluctantly Obliging Matt Rinella

    One thing not often talked about is how long the bullet or arrow is in flight. Every micro-second that bullet takes to get there the odds of that animal moving increase. So yeah, some people can shoot 1,000 yards at paper, but paper doesn't all of a sudden decide that forb looks mighty tasty...

    The death of the retail store

    Everyone has their own motivations and I recognize that. However, I have a different twist on why I HATE online purchases, especially the biggest of online companies. Online companies do not employ anyone in my town. Thus they do not pay employment taxes to my state. They do not pay real...

    Schnee's Beartooth 0g Longterm Review

    My relationship with Beartooths goes back to 2008 and encompasses 3 pairs. My oldest pair finally are no longer waterproof. Why? because finally the laces wore a few holes in the tongue. No idea how many miles, but it is a big number. Pair number 2 goes back to 2016. Still waterproof...
