    Boots for extra wide feet?

    Nike or custum. Globe fire boots makes the most comfortable boot you will ever wear but not a hiking/hunting boot. The globe salesman had me break in a trial pair. Wet with hot water, walk 2 miles, oil as they dried. Condition wen dry. My feet look cartoonish the next day. But I wore those...

    Donate for My Cousin Who Lost Everything in a house fire

    I work in these circumstances... when I was talking to a well insured couple a few days after a fire the best quote I've ever heard from someone who lost everything is, "I never thought I'd be this happy to be wearing someone else's clean used underwear..." Give them $10 or a sandwich while...

    Kenetrek 4th of July Sale - America250

    Out of the box walked a mile comfortably. Stiff but hey, there new boots. Look at the pic and tell me that boot wasn't made to fit a wide foot. If you're curious about why I'm so excited see my prior post on complaining about boots. Lots of guys with wide feet have issues.

    Boots for extra wide feet?

    Got my Kenetrek wides today. Put them on out of the box and they fit great. By that I mean I was actually surprised at the toe room I have never had. I could wiggle them but not much. Kicked the floor hard and never hurt my toes or pinched. Secure but not tight. Heel fit good. Walking around no...

    Idaho MSG Applications - Who's In

    I did to until I got some books on statistics and odds. Then started mathing it out similar to idelkslayer. Definitely changed my strategy for tags. A bit ago I had a buddy over for beers and he's done every tag draw subscription still wondering why he can't draw. He's a resident who put in for...

    Idaho MSG Applications - Who's In

    I'm pretty aware of the actual odds. I like illustrating it too because most think 1 in 10 random means once in 10 years. Far from the truth. I haven't seen it calculated that way though. Thanks. Depending on which math, statistics, or gambling book you read you can also figure in other things...

    New bill about blinds near troughs

    Well... I agree with subsidies in certain circumstances. I remember (vividly) being twelve and watching the last bail of 3rd crop I toss off the wagon go up into the hay shed thinking done! Oh no... quickly got told to throw tubes one the hay field. Then about 10 days later pushing cows from...

    New bill about blinds near troughs

    Coming from some of the oldest ranching families in the western U.S. I resent this comment. Many a 4th crop hay is left in tge field for wildlife, troughs fixed so wild critters have water while dumb cows trump (tromp, misstyped but appropriate) springs, layed down fence in a snowstorm so deer...

    New bill about blinds near troughs

    That is a VERY fair point. Given new "archery" equipment I can see that viewpoint. I hunt with a 15 year old compound or a recurve I built myself. My view is sitting on a water through for 5 days in wait might be behind the tech. If I twitch, draw, or smell at all those antelope wander off from...

    New bill about blinds near troughs

    "How it should be" explain that perspective to me. Don't take that offensively I'm curious about that perspective.
