    Muzzleloader Safety

    I’ll never forget one day while visiting home I was able to sneak out for muzzleloader deer season in the first week of December. Stupid cold. Like -15/-20 with the windchill, but hunting time had been hard to come by so by golly I was going! After a couple hours of sneaking ridges, I peeked...

    Muzzleloader Safety

    I do the same with my inline. Cheap insurance to reload either powder/pellets the next day. For traditional I’ll leave my charge in until end of season and then shoot it. The biggest thing with muzzleloaders that I’m careful of is not to have a bunch of temperature swings on the same powder...

    Trying new rifles this season

    Man I have fought with the two Howa's I've got for years. I always thought I was the problem. Changed stocks, bedded, reloaded ammo, factory ammo, the whole shebang. Bought a .308 Tikka, totally stock, first trip to the range and I shot several different factory loads under an inch. I...

    My First Elk Story to my Next Elk Story (Fly In?)

    Glad I'm not the only one still storing junk at my parents place. I am more impressed you found a place to shoot than your group size. And those group sizes are impressive.

    I have learned to take these conversations with a grain of salt and understand where people come from has a drastic difference in their view on repeat crime/offenders/punishment/capital punishment. My theory is the smaller of a bubble and/or less impacted you are by it, you are far more...

    Where do you draw the line? Should we have to pay for monsters for the rest of their natural lines? Is that American? Should be potentially imprison innocent people for life rather than put put them to death? I think as a society we have become so "tolerant" it is now our downfall.

    I think the deterrent aspect is lost in how few times the death penalty is actually exercised. Think how fervently defense teams try to take death off the table. The Kohberger trial comes to mind, he was really quick to cut a deal to get the death penalty off the table, and that deal was made...

    I think for "normal" people like you and I that would be a true statement. Someone committing a crime heinous enough for a death sentence has obviously gone far enough that they aren't operating in that "normal" realm anymore. I just find it hard to believe that someone that far off the rails...

    Death penalty, yes. Public viewing, no. I truly believe the death penalty would be more of a deterrent if people thought it was an actual option for a sentence. Instead you get plea deals and decades of appeals that really water it down so no one is truly concerned about it. Removing the...

    Monthly budget

    It really seems like there are hardly any "reasonable" vehicles left. Tens of thousands of add-ons that people drove fine without for decades. On top of that comes the increased insurance premiums. Have a basic 2017 Rav-4, the windshield replacement is nearly $800. $200 for the glass, $600 to...

    Restoring color to Antlers

    Not perfect but barely noticeable on the wall. I used Minwax Golden Oak. Maybe an elk you’d want a darker color though. I probably could have “faded” the color in better, but a good learning project.

    What are you currently reading?

    I loved this book. What an incredible story. I think my favorite part was the flight through Yellowstone.
