    New Vortex Spotter

    This little guy seems like a future purchase. Currently have the smaller Viper scope, but this is about half the weight and likely much better...

    Plumbing Questions

    I was hoping someone here could help explain what might be going on here. I bought an older house and it looks like some of the plumbing was either reworked or replaced. The picture below is under a bathroom sink. I am wanting to install some shutoff valves for my hot and cold and looking for...

    Texas White-tail Sausage

    Got to put my new processing equipment to work this winter. I found a few sausage and meat stick recipes that I wanted to try out with some venison I got during bow season. I mixed it with pork butt and some beef tallow trimmings for proper fat ratios. I choose between 75-80% lean and 20-25%...

    Elk Tag Refund

    After going on my first elk hunt and getting into some elk last year and having a great time in general, I was very excited to go back to the same unit this season and accomplish what I didn't get to last season: fill my first elk tag. I applied and drew the tag I wanted with no issues. Then...

    2016 F150 4wd shifter

    So I'm out of town for a week and my wife if using my truck for the time being. Recently she noticed that the 4wd shifter was set to 4L. She noticed this after driving about 15-20 miles going about 70-80mph. The thing is my 4-year-old son told her he turned up my "NOS" which is code for changed...

    Georgia Deer Hunting (Non Resident)

    I'm heading to GA for 6 weeks for some military training. Since I'm going to miss some key hunting dates back home in Texas (most of bow season), I'm gonna try and take advantage of my time spent in GA. I'll be close to Marietta. I saw some wildlife management areas on GA's DNR site and I know...

    Horn Hunter Full Curl Pack

    I have a used Horn Hunter Full Curl Pack (Stone Color) I'm looking to sell. I purchased it last June. I recently upgraded to a Mystery Ranch Selway and looking to offset some of the cost. I've used it on one backcountry hunt and several hikes around the neighborhood. It's in great condition, no...

    Lost Lake Trail #64

    I'm looking to do a hiking trip this summer with some buddies and I was scouting on onX and Google to find some fun, less traveled trails. I came across Lost Lake trail in between Silverthorne and Heeney. It looks like a pretty easy hike and I wanted to make it a little more adventurous by...

    Leupold CDS Dial

    I got my new Leupold VX5-HD a couple months ago and have it sighted in tight at 100 yards. It's sitting atop a Ruger American Predator in 6.5CM. I've tried some of the more expensive ammo from Nosler, Hornady, Sierra, and Federal in different weights, but I have found the best groups I get are...

    Trails in Idaho

    I'm planning a hunt in Idaho this fall and see a lot of different trails in the unit I'm looking to hunt. The trails I have questions about are the Jeep trails and nonmotorized trails. I'm assuming a Jeep trail is just a poorly maintained dirt road with a high probability of washed out areas and...

    Vortex Razor HD LH vs Leupold VX-5

    I've had the pleasure of looking at the Leupold in Cabelas, but have not seen the Vortex in person. I have looked at the Tactical version of the Razor scopes and to my eyes, the glass is better than the Leupold. Just wondering if that stays true with the lite hunter version. Price is about the...

    Idaho Unit 36A Mule Deer

    I've bought my tag and I'm choosing unit 36A to test my luck. I've looked at harvest/hunter statistics and terrain of several different units and find myself most comfortable with this unit. I like that is is mainly public land and that there are reports of deer here. It's a bonus that you can...
