Specks, you call em crappie
Dude I tried some chain pickerel in a blind taste test with crappie and hybrid striper a few weeks ago. Everyone liked the pickerel best. 100% keeping those when I catch a good one- oxn939

HTer Fitness Goals '24 Edition
Another one. If everyone in America spent the same amount of time at a light jog that they spend daily on snapchat, virtually every problem our country has would be gone in 100 days lol- oxn939

HTer Fitness Goals '24 Edition
Which is the best thing that can happen to you lol. If everyone stopped eating refined sugars and seed oils tomorrow, it's no exaggeration to say that the world would be unrecognizable in six months. Hospitals would be mostly empty, hundreds of thousands of people would suddenly not be disabled...- oxn939

HTer Fitness Goals '24 Edition
On a "sugar fast" kick lately, cutting out basically all refined sugars. It's amazing how much better I feel, even as someone who has been pretty serious about training 5-6x a week for the last 18 years. Better energy, better sleep, just generally feel a lot cleaner. Actually pretty wild all the...- oxn939

Barn Owl Cameras- AVOID
Picked up a Barn owl cellular camera in November '22 to keep an eye on a hunting property. Setup was fairly easy for both the camera and solar panel. Transmitted well for a month or two. Then it died randomly. They sent me another one in April '23. Set that one up, and things were going great...- oxn939

Small outboard- Suzuki v. Merc. v. Yamaha
Thanks for the input, everyone! Decided to stick with the Mercury for a few reasons. One, they're actually made by Tohatsu, which are some of the most reliable outboards out there. Two, they're offering an extended 5 year warranty right now. Three, the tiller is located on the engine's...- oxn939

Small outboard- Suzuki v. Merc. v. Yamaha
Putting a skiff together and looking at options for a 9.9 EFI four stroke. I currently have a Mercury (which is actually a Tohatsu) that is a great little engine, but will be selling with the boat I'm replacing. Anyone got strong opinions between these? All have good warranties and seem to be...- oxn939

Lever Monday...post em up
That's the dream. Hopefully burning my elk points in WY this year... I just don't know if I can add "giving up 75% of my MER" to the list of stuff I'll have going against me as a nonresident with only a week to hunt, hah. If the stars really align and I draw a Pronghorn doe tag, I think that'd... -

Lever Monday...post em up
Gosh what a cool collection. That would be a bucket list range day to have those and 200 yards of steel to play with for a few hours. My quiver pales in comparison, but I got re-bitten by the lever bug recently. Stationed near the panhandle of Florida now and got a few whitetail hunts in this... -

First western trip was a success
Gotta remember that a thread like this is effectively talking about a different era of hunting. Even the units that give out a TON (read: over 500) of tags require at least a point or two to draw now, unless you want to pay $1200 for that special draw life. -

HTer Fitness Goals '24 Edition
That's what did it for alcohol on my end. On my last deployment, a few buddies and I had one particularly tough week that involved virtually no sleep for several consecutive days. We ended up in a "would you rather do this again, or" discussion and found that really almost nothing in life is...- oxn939

Been applying for this one for a while. Glad you got it done! Those things are, indeed, tougher than nails- oxn939

Has anyone hunted elk from a kayak
In that case, the furthest I was from my truck was less than 500 yards and that creek never gets much wider than that, so getting back not a big deal even with a capsizing event. SST is in the high 40s right now though, and if the first time you experience that is in a truly remote environment... -

Has anyone hunted elk from a kayak
Works in the southeast. Biggest thing to consider is your load plan... even with a ~110 pound whitetail, this specific boat was probably at its max limit, and I'm not a real big dude. If you had a low light exfil and hit some current or an obstruction, that could be all she wrote. But yeah...
