    When did you know a hunting partner wasn’t going to last? I’ll go first…

    I ran into that with people who bugged the crap out of me to go fishing. I tried to work guests in if my regular buddies couldn't go. Initially I would pick them up at their house and take them to my boat. More times than I can remember I would be waiting on them in there driveway. I would make...

    When did you know a hunting partner wasn’t going to last? I’ll go first…

    I’m sort of the same. My initial reaction has always been to confront. But I always remember what an older friend told me when I was young. He said “don't let anyone on the Low Road pull you down off the High Road”. I learned for my own sake it was better for me to endure then ignore. Keep...

    When did you know a hunting partner wasn’t going to last? I’ll go first…

    Well I had had such good luck over the decades taking guests out there it caught me off guard. At least for a while. About a day in I was looking at the clock. Nothing even close to this cat. I had been hunting with the same guys pretty much my whole adult life but we had a lot of guest hunters...

    When took a guy out to my camp put him on some game. He showed up empty handed only sporting a cooler with one bag of ice and a twelve pack of beer. Never asked if what he could bring for the weekend or offered to help pay for anything. Road with me to the camp a half a tank of gas away , rode...

    Spouse Stress/Anxiety Condition

    Fortunately you are only 30-40 from South Bend and not a four hour drive away. Getting quality medical treatment in a small town covered by your insurance can be challenging. We had this situation with my Dad who lived in a small town. After years of driving five minutes to his doc he was not...

    A 5 rating just means half of us would have an upgrade.

    LET'S TALK COFFEE :)

    For two decades I used a huge percolator I bought from Cabelas on a fire or gas burner. I think maybe I replaced it once. It got left at the last camp I had in Florida swamp when we decided not to renew our lease about 8 years ago. These days I use a Stainless Steel Cuzinart drip in my cabin...

    Good Venison Recipe

    Sounds good. I never stuffed with shrimp but I did stuff with a crawfish Boudin once. It was pretty good. I have served venison with grilled shrimp as surf n turf many times. I don't hate that either.

    Shooting a Big Game Rifle from the Unconscious mind, possible? Best be 30 or 35 caliber.

    I believe it can be done as way back in the day for years I hunted everything with a Remington 1100. Doves, quail, hogs, turkey , varmits and deer. Did a lot of dove hunting. I did a lot of hunting period as I was hunting one thing or another every weekend from September thru end of April. They...

    What Rifle/Caliber Combinations Have you liked the most and disliked the most and why?

    My 270 Win Remington 700 xcr 2 in a Mc Millan edge with a Timney trigger wearing a VX 3 3.5-10x40. Solid all weather whitetail performer. Easy to find ammo. Shoots several types of ammo accurately. I cant find any much fault with it other than its not a 7mm08. I have a 7mm08 in a MRC x2 but...

    I am an Idiot - Need Help with Rust

    I wanted to spend the money I would have then coated when I had the other work completed and be done with it. I got a ABolt I put in a closet that shared a wall with a shower. I never noticed the shower leaked into floor and got the carpet wet. Made a mess of the rifle. I am thinking about...

    Manufactured Outrage

    I spend more time on social media than I should. But I blow right past the faux outrage and other manufactured crap. If your the kind of person that cant do that or take it all seriously or even if it just worries you then staying off social media or limiting it is a good idea. In all parts of...

    Gas/Fuel Price and hunting plans

    Higher fuel prices more limit my everyday and weekly planning. I try and plan a bit better to make sure I’m not needlessly running back and forth across the county and joy riding around just for something to do. I cant always control it but if possible I try and schedule business in the same...

    Make brown rice palatable

    Look into Parish white rice. I get it online from Walmart. Its a low glusemic rice. I believe it is lower on the index than brown rice or very close it. I ditched the brown after I found this. Its a little more money but worth it. Tastes just like any white rice. I use it at deer camp to feed...
