    How Many Still Prefer To Hunt Alone?

    I would rather hunt and fish alone. Once my dad and uncle (a second dad) got too old to go, I had just as soon be in the woods or on the water alone. I have some friends that go with me sometimes and it’s enjoyable, it just isn’t the same.

    Thoughts from the woods and lessons learned over the years

    Best zeiss scope around 1500$ for hunting and a bit of range shooting suggestions please!

    $1500 Zeiss - get a used Zeiss Diavari V - older glass made in Germany - you are going to be hard pressed to find better glass and low light performance than one of those.

    Hunting in the 1980s and 90s

    I’ve got so many memories of the 70’s-present. I miss the people the most! They are the ones that made hunting special to me and why I still do it. I miss the freedom of unburdened time and just the thrill of going. I miss the health of my teens and twenty’s. If you ask me why I rise...

    You need a will now, no question about that. Put everything in an irrevocable living trust. Now, who gets what in the will for now? Ask the son is there anything you want me to give you in this trust? You already know the daughter wants them, give the rest to her. You never know what...

    Merino wool
