    NM applications

    First year in 12 years that I didn’t apply in NM. Can’t do two trips and I’m helping my dad with an AZ hunt. I did put in for a long-shot (is there any other kind with only 12 points) Utah tag, though.

    Nope smokers not allowed

    I’d argue that if you’ve reached a point where you’d let an IPA anywhere near your tastebuds, you might have a problem.

    Recommendations for a northern Minnesota trip

    Go in August. Typically beautiful weather, way less bugs, and the possibility of blueberries if it’s a good year for them. It’s when we try to plan our annual trip to Canada every year.

    Trapping Thread 2025/2026

    I agree. I can do what’s needed to get my furs tanned and get them back to me in beautiful shape for displaying or sewing but, as a perfectionist, it kills me to see how nice some can put up fur. Someday I’ll have time to devote to it.

    Youth of Women’s 7mm-08

    I agree. I have a Tikka and love it. For the above reason, it won’t be a first gun for either of my kids. I’ve also had the safety bump get knocked off a few times while busting through brush. I never carry with one in the chamber unless I’m actively still-hunting, but it caught my attention.

    This affects way more people than corner crossing ever will.

    Finished up a pair of beaver mitts for my son’s kindergarten teacher yesterday. Good day today to start on my otter blanket, with the blizzard outside.

    Knife People

    Today was the last day of decent weather before things turn south for a bit, so the kids and I headed to the woods. I turned them loose and told them to follow deer trails and see what they could find. In minutes they both disappeared while I wandered around looking for sheds. After about 20...

    Surf fish cabo?

    This has caught my interest. In college I was lucky enough to be invited on a trip to Punta Colorada resort, near La Ribera, for a week of fishing with a friend, whose dad foot the bill for me. It was a great time and I wouldn’t mind getting back to the area. How would a trip down there be...

    2026 Garden

    Snow in the forecast the next 5 days so it’s hard to even think about a garden yet. This year I’m keeping it simple. Sweet corn, tomatoes, cucumbers, peas, and some flowers for my wife and daughter. This is the first year I can start harvesting from my asparagus patch, so I’m looking forward...

    What's on the smoker today?

    This one worked well. It kept smoking for about 3 hours. I refilled it once so got 6 hours of smoke. By then I had the meat wrapped in foil and didn’t bother anymore.

    What's on the smoker today?

    I did a couple pork butts yesterday. I have no real interest in getting a smoker so my wife and kids got me one of those pellet tubes for Christmas. It worked pretty good. I might get another to get a bit more smoke on it. I’ve had better, but for someone who already has too many hobbies to...

    What to do with some savings

    I recently opened a Vanguard Cash Plus account. Their rate is 3.35% currently. I put the money from that account into their Treasury Money Market Fund and am hoping to get closer to 4.5%. No fees to open the account and an expense ratio of .07%. I’m sure someone more knowledgeable could find a...
