    Flying with firearm (any airlines to avoid)?

    Airport to airport I think varies more than most US Airlines. Only real issue I ever had was Seattle, gun came out very last and baggage agent was in no hurry to help. Going back I got there early and TSA swabbed by hard case and it came back for gunpowder residue so we had to wait for a...

    October Waterfowl

    If you’re hunting the October season, make sure you carry a copy of the “The LeMaster Method”. Usually still an awful lot of brown ducks. We have gone to NoDak for years for the non-res opener and we just call it Brown Duck season.

    Your most inept TSA experience ?

    I think the TSA experience varies wildly by airport. Some have great leadership and a positive attitude (Lexington KY, Albany NY) and some are staffed by power tripping POS (Chicago Midway) My worst was at MDW - I was traveling in full military uniform (Blues) on military orders and I was...

    Prairie Chickens?

    Thanks for the info so far. Starting to piece it together and come up with a very vague plan. It’s a start Spoke with a state upland biologist and got some more ideas.

    KY Elk draw was yesterday

    I’m one of those rarities that has put in every single year since the beginning (KY resident up til 2016, non-resident after) and never been drawn. Based on my points in others states I have better odds of being drawn for Maine Moose or Wyoming Mule Deer than I do home state elk

    Prairie Chickens?

    Driving to CO for 3rd rifle - mule deer and will be passing through W NE and NE CO - and thought I might be able to double up and get my first chicken. Any suggestions? One state better than the other? Current condition of the flock, good hatch year? And, seeing as my brothers dogs don’t...

    Shooting the Grendel's, stage 2 fire restrictions, and a jerk in a Subaru.

    Always one of those. When I was a young airman, during my first year in the Air Force, we had a guy bought land and built a big beautiful house literally at the end of a 9000 foot runway. We got daily complaint calls from him and he was constantly calling anyone in power and threatening all...

    Arizona Gould's

    Outstanding. Good call on the shot, did something similar once hunting on Ft Bragg in NC. Decided it was a good bird in a high competition area so took the shot. As I was driving out here came an unplanned company level exercise in a Humvee convoy right though the drop zone I was just in

    NRA On The Hot Seat - Exposed or Attacked?

    I am a life member and have also been dismayed by all the revelations. However, I still believe the NRA to be bigger than one man. In my lifetime I have seen them as a potent and feared political force. That being said, I do think it is time to see LaPierre go. I am not expecting the...

    Plant identification

    I am a plant guy and I still use PlantNet app often. Not perfect but almost always gets you to the right genus

    Military and First Responders

    Another positive vote for guidefitters. Picked up Vortex items well under best price anywhere else

    Hunting Stuttgart Arkansas (possibly guided): Anyone done this before??

    Use to go yearly. We hunted public and private. Couple suggestions I would add to the already good ones 1 - time the hunt to the first couple of a split. Birds get stale/wise extremely fast in a state where everyone hunts them every day. We always seemed to do best at the start of the 3rd...

    Badgers

    Venting - encounter with a butthead

    Understand completely-spent 10 years teaching in High School and saw that and worse. Eventually I got to where I just felt sorry for the kid. Initially you are thinking “this kid is a real piece of ?:!;” and then the parent comes in and you realize this kid is subjected to the insane parent on...

    Good Ol’ Days vs. Today?

    Good old days were when I was teenager running a trap line in the late 70s/early 80s. Fur was high and it seemed like every season was full of “firsts”. Bad old days were late 80s when duck seasons were short, steel shot was mandated but not yet effective. Nowadays are starting to be good...
