    Fur scraps- free if interested

    I’ve got offcuts from time to time that I feel bad throwing away. Currently have some raccoon scraps, including face and tail. These are tanned, various shapes and sizes. Mostly belly fur and edges. Could be used for trapping lures, jewelry, craft projects, pet toys. Free if you can use them...

    Only one hunt left and a bunch of extra time on my hands. I guess I’ll do some euro mounts?

    Aftermath of a storm

    I think most hunters have heard people talk about hail being hard on birds, but I’m not sure how many people get the chance to actually see the damage we’re talking about. Walked around the office doing some damage assessment after the hail storm last night and took a few pics. This used to...

    Just got a text from one of my former coworkers. His son plays hockey for MSU and they just played their way into the ACHA Division II championship game tomorrow. First chance ever at a national title. It’s been many years since I watched MSU hockey, but good to see them having some success...

    2024 Talkie Best Hunt Recaps

    So first a PSA…the best Comedic thread category has been discontinued because we were a bunch of miserable SOBs in 2024. There were no cheese threads. There were no questionable paper plate contents thrown on the campfire. No member matched wits with a wiley rodent. We can, no, we must do better...

    Are we haggling over the wrong things?

    This came through my inbox at work today, and it sort of articulated a thought that’s been brewing in the back of my mind as I watch us argue ad nauseum about the minutiae of why there aren’t more deer, why there is low social tolerance for elk, why there is poor habitat on public land, why...

    What brings you luck?

    Some people might call it superstition. Some people call it lucky. Some people just value the sentiment. But I know lots of hunters who have some “thing” they carry in the field for no practical reason, other than it gives them a feeling of connection, or confidence, or luck. What items do you...

    Happy International Men’s Day

    Yes, you have a day and I think it’s only fair to acknowledge all the good ones out there. We know you look out for us, keep us safe, apparently keep a bunch of us from running out of gas and dying along the roadside (I’m with you boys on that one. Srsly? 🤣). It’s enlightening and insightful...

    Cheer me up boys…

    Work kicked my ass today. Tweaked my knee at work a couple of weeks ago, saw the doc and he couldn’t find anything but it hasn’t felt quite right since. Been kind of babying it hoping for the best. Today I’m not sure what happened. I stepped funny I guess. Big pop, excruciating pain low medial...

    Lever gun and a story

    I know some of you guys love these old rifles and some of the history that goes with them so thought I would share. I’m not a great gun aficionado like some of you, but I do appreciate the history and stories associated with some of the classics. I just inherited this rifle. Winchester .30WCF...
