    Caught a pole and reel today

    Contact St. Croix and Shimano for advice on cleaning/refurbishing. Nice score for you!

    The Deer Camp

    Your brother's buck seems like it has a big body, kinda like a small steer that grew brown and white fur. Keep making memories there.

    Boot lifespan? Danner Pronghorns not holding up

    The pair of Pronghorns I had finally fell apart in Jan after modest use over 19 years. They weren't my go to pair over that span, but I wore them quite a bit. And work paid for them so it was a shame to see them go. Nowadays I wouldn't expect that kind of durability from Danner. My current...

    Dream Rifle

    I have a buddy that I told him to buy one (.257 Model 70), mid 50's vintage as I recall. Wish I bought it, but I got a Model 94 of similar age that the seller had so I came out of the deal ok.

    First deer hunt of the year tomorrow

    Last hunting trip I did with my brother was in 2003 when he got leave from his first Iraq deployment. Don't know why we haven't done this sooner.

    1st Michigan grouse trip

    On Friday, my brother and I will join one of my college buddies and head towards Michigan. I/we've been looking over maps, talking to biologists, asking some HT members for tips, and e-scouting. We have some ideas, but have a week to wander in search of grouse and woodcock. Our goal is to...

    .22 Pistol Recommendation

    I have two Buckmarks and a stainless Single 6, but I like the my Model 617 just slightly more than those options. It holds 10 and I made consistent hits with it when I first started shooting it so I carry it more. Lots of good advice has come through already and you will find a winner.
