    What are you currently reading?

    I am a bit of a completist, so I will find an author or a series and read it from oldest to newest. Problem is, I have caught up to current on most of my authors so I have to wait 12 months for the next installment. I just started reading The Deep Blue Good-by written by John MacDonald. It was...

    As they lay

    Doubled up on a couple shotgun turkey tags.

    Ben's semi-live 2025 hunt thread

    I had been hunting from the ground but I felt like there was too much undergrowth for me to maximize the range I could get with my shotgun. So I hiked back out to my truck and got my saddle, platform and climbing sticks. I was afraid that being up in a tree would make me more visible to turkeys...

    Ben's semi-live 2025 hunt thread

    I played it safe Saturday morning and was about 200 yards north of the woods in the corner of the corner field at legal shooting light. I didn't want to be stumbling around in the woods causing the turkeys to fly down and scramble away. I heard someone to the north running a coyote call and then...

    Ben's semi-live 2025 hunt thread

    Tomorrow is the first day I can hunt my fall shotgun turkey tag. I was originally planning on just hunting until noon, but the marching band competition for tomorrow evening has been cancelled due to bad weather. That allows me a little more leeway in terms of having to get back home. Of course...

    Are you in North Dakota or South Dakota? Great buck by the way.

    price check Remington 870 wingmasters

    It is definitely worth more as a set. There is probably not another set like that anywhere. Name your price and don't sell unless you get it.

    Ben's semi-live 2025 hunt thread

    I had to help out at the high school homecoming football game Friday night. My daughter is in the marching band and they performed at halftime. Just before the game started I got a bunch of pictures of a nice 8 point buck. I had already planned to hunt that spot on Saturday, so this made me...

    Ben's semi-live 2025 hunt thread

    I went out west to hunt on Sunday at some public ground. I have hunted this area off and on over the years and took a turkey there in the spring. I have had a game camera out there, but it was not in a good spot and I thought about moving it. I didn't expect to see much if anything, but I...

    Ben's semi-live 2025 hunt thread

    My first opportunity to hunt with my bow will be this Sunday. It is going to be a high of 83 or something like that. Not sure if it is worth going out. I have limited hunting time, so I feel like I need to take advantage of it, but I don't feel very likely to see much. Basically just a scouting...

    Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

    We have recently gotten in to puzzles. But we discovered that we have to do them fast and then put them away or the cats will destroy/scatter them. So I decided to build a puzzle board. I looked at a lot of online resources and then kind of went my own way with a design. It's not terribly...

    How big of a roll does hunting play in your life?

    Hunting is probably one of maybe 6 pillars of my existence. I can't put that many days into as some, but I do have my eye out for any and every opportunity to get out to the woods. I might be able to grab some more days in a few years when my youngest graduates from High School.

    Woodworking Hunt Talkers?

    We play a lot of Euchre and we have some trouble keeping track of the trump suit. So I made a box that holds a deck of cards and can be used to mark the suit. The first one I made ended up going with my daughter to college a few weeks ago. So I made a couple more. One is going in my wife's...

    What made this bow so great?

    My first, and current, bow is a RealmX, which came out just a couple years after the Reign 6. I would agree with the impression that it is just incredibly comfortable. I also shot a Hoyt and an Elite and it was hands down the best feeling bow. I have never shot a Reign 6, but I would bet that...

    phone case recommendations

    For 13 years I have been using LifeProof Fre cases for my iPhone. They are very good at protecting the phone and they are waterproof. I have dropped my phone, fumbled my phone and in attempting to catch it ended up swatting the phone down the stairs with extra force, etc. I have never had any...

    “Cold Shot” of the Day ‘25

    Finally had a moment to shoot my bow this afternoon it has probably been 3 weeks. I'm pretty happy with this first shot. I was at 15 yards. Sadly, the other 23 arrows I shot were not quite as good. But I will probably start shooting more now that I have moved my eldest into college and nearly...

    Hunting Solo by choice or circumstance

    I primarily hunt solo because I don't have a large group of friends and/or family that hunt. I would have loved to have a group that could have brought me along when I first got into hunting, but for the most part I had to just figure it out on my own. I do have a few buddies that I try to go...

    “Cold Shot” of the Day ‘25

    I've been meaning to shoot every day for a week or two. But I have been so busy with getting things set up for my daughter's marching band. Every time I do one thing I realize there are 10-12 new things that need to be done. Soon though. I'll get back out there shooting soon.

    Season of a lifetime - Summer/Fall 2025

    If the new owners are not breaking ground on the data center right away, would they offer a short-term lease so you can still hunt?
