MKC vs Eastmans?
I have never understood the fascination with expensive knives. They’re just another tool to do a job. I still have a cheap coleman knife that my dad gave me for Christmas when I was 8, almost 40 years and nearly 4 digits worth of wild hogs and deer later it’s still my go to. I probably have...- D_Walt

Afraid of the dark??
Wouldn’t say I’m scared of it, but I do get the heebeejeebee’s from time to time. Has never kept me from going where I want to when I want to. I damn sure don’t like dark and foggy. I was once hunting on a ranch in south Texas when I was a teenager, wandered through an old, unkempt...- D_Walt

Hunting, Technology, and a little Reflection
Technology is definitely making more efficient killers out of continually worse “hunters”. Not that big of a trick to kill an elk at 1200 yards (in calm conditions) with off the shelf gear.

Which western states have been disproportionately good to you in drawing tags?
I’d vote for none - I've drawn plenty of preference point tags, and couple of the better odds NM deer tags. I’m sure the luck will change and I’ll draw at some point. NM elk has been my nemesis, 12 years of applying for me, 5 or 6 for my wife and kids all usually with a “better” odds option...- D_Walt

3/4 ton 4x4 recommendations
Buy a Ford 6.7 power stroke and be done with it. I have a 2017 with 210k on it, I bought it new and have had very few issues. I don’t haul a travel trailer but I pull with it pretty regularly up to 15k on my flatbed gooseneck. Once you pull with a 3/4 or 1 ton diesel you’ll roll your eyes...- D_Walt

Congrats on the bull, very cool that you and your family have a long history of hunting the area. -
Too many acronyms (TMA)
Not an acronym, but for years my mom thought the 💩 icon was a Hershey’s Kiss. Eventually one of the grandkids told her. -
