    ‘25-‘26 Upland Bird Thread

    Penny's first opening day pheasant. She absolutely nailed the point. Whoa'd her after she hit the point I walked about 5 yards in front of her and didn't see a thing. One more step and the rooster exploded into a flush. Always trust your dog!

    I teach health education. A large part of our curriculum is dedicated to SEL (social and emotional learning). My health curriculum is skill based. We don't teach kids about bones and muscles like health class was when I was growing up. The health skills that students are expected to be...

    An influencer is someone who tries to influence behavior. He was definitely an influencer.

    RIP Charlie Kirk

    I didn't...I compared it to murder over a belief system which shows me that people are willing to kill over something that the average person wouldn't consider. Regulating emotions is a skill. Being a teacher for as long as I have, this murder doesn't surprise me at all. There are many kids...

    What are you even talking about? How does this relate to mental illness which is what I was talking about? The fact that senseless killings happen all the time because of a belief system tells me it's probably not always mental illness which is what everyone always wants to blame a murder on.

    I don't think you have to be mentally ill to kill anyone. I think it's more about indoctrination of a belief, something so important to a person's core, they feel like it's the only way to solve their issue. You can't tell me every gang banger that pulls a gun on a rival and pulls the trigger...

    RIP Charlie Kirk

    I've read every post so far and I don't think this has to do with mental illness at all. In fact, I'm beginning to think mental illness has become the last decade's buzz word for trying to explain something as simple as lack of emotional regulation. I see this shooting as someone who doesn't...

    RIP Charlie Kirk

    I'm starting my 23rd year as a teacher. Hiding during an active shooter is now considered your last resort. The first option now is run. In the last 8 years or so, the protocols for this have drastically changed and continue to change every year. For the first 2/3 of my career, we were...

    44Hunter45 semi live climbing stand hunt

    I'm sure that Titan is comfortable but I can't imagine carrying 25lbs in just "stand" alone not counting any other gear. My hang on and 4 sticks weigh 9 lbs and my saddle and sticks weight 6 lbs. It just seems like a ton of weight to be lugging around.

    Breaking the Curse of the Trolling Motor?

    I have a Newport NV series, 55 lb thrust. I purchased it because it came in a 30" shaft length. I also bought the quick disconnect accessory with it. I will say I run it on a canoe with a lithium battery and it does what I want it to do. I've ran it all summer on small lakes and rivers with...

    Thank you. Best of luck to you this season. I appreciate the offer. If you are ever in Southern Wisconsin deer hunting and you need a hand dragging one out, just message me.

    Lucky me. Lift limb split

    There is no way in hell I would hunt with that. Your limbs are starting to delaminate. What happens if that bow explodes on it's draw cycle is anyone's guess. My face, arms, head, and neck are much more important than opening day. By the way, this is a common problem with the lift. Keep an...

    Hunting Solo by choice or circumstance

    My experience may be a bit different than most. I grew up hunting the wetlands, marshes, and swamps of Southern Wisconsin. My dad and my uncle were both quite the alcoholics and there was really no exception when guns were involved. It was very common to do a deer drive, and after a part of...

    New Benelli R1 endurance

    I started a thread a few weeks back about interest in a Ruger Made lever action with open sights for a walking rifle. I quickly realized after turning 50, my eyes have changed and open sights would be useless for me. So, I went down a different path and decided to take a chance on a Benelli R1...

    Anyone have any experience with the new Marlin Levers produced by Ruger?

    Houston, we have a problem. I may have to scratch that Marlin idea. I went into a sporting goods store this evening to shoulder some rifles with iron sights and for the life of me, I couldn't get my eyes to focus properly and get a clear picture. Either the irons were blurry or the background...
