    S&W Shield 380 EZ equivalents?

    My wife and I both recently received our lifetime carry permits for Indiana. On the way to our son's basketball tournament we stopped by a large-ish local gun store to look at handguns. The counter guy showed her a few in 380 and 9mm (Glock, S&W, Taurus, Canik, etc) and really pushed the idea of...

    It's been awhile...

    It's been a long time since I shot a deer with archery (even though this was with a crossbow). Veteran's Day this guy chased 3 does in front of me. I could see that he had busted a tine, but was the biggest I've seen in person this year. He stopped at 45yds and only went 60yds. First deer...

    "Homecoming"...

    I finally drew a pronghorn tag in Utah for a unit that I spent a whole lot of time in for work at a previous job. Was very cool to be back in that country after being gone for 10 years. Lots are the same and some isn't. One of the things that is not are the number of pronghorn! The...

    Youth season in IN was this weekend. My oldest has helped this summer on some new property we bought clearing trails, planting footplots, moving stands. He's paycheck came last night. Saw and passed on a smaller buck and a few mins later had two more deer in view. This buck was nice enough...

    Pensacola Area Charters?

    I am going to be in Pensacola, FL the first week of August with the family. Does anyone have fishing charters they would recommend? Would be for min 4 people, with two being under 13yo. My brief research and a peek at the pocketbook indicates that we'll be looking at inshore options, which is...

    American Airlines

    Drew a tag and am planning on flying out and renting a car. American Airlines has the current best times (and deal by a few bucks) for when I'm wanting to travel. At a cookout financial situation of AA seems to be a recent topic. A quick google search turned up some chatter, but nothing I'd...

    Family Bluegillin'

    Last week the family headed to "The Swamp" to wet a few lines. Bluegill/red ear were staging for the spawn. Cleaned 16 fish, two females full of eggs and the rest males. Figured this weekend would be great! Then Ma' Nature threw a changeup; 32º for a low on Friday night. We still decided to...

    20ga Federal Heavyweights - Mod Choke

    Anyone have any experiences using the Federal Heavyweight turkey loads out of a modified choke? With baseball on hiatus, it looks like we may get out for the youth turkey season. My oldest would like to use "his" shotgun; an Ithaca 37 with a fixed modified choke barrel. Thinking of trying the...

    Outdoor Vision bino harness?

    Anyone seen or used these? I like the direction it opens and that it's a magnetic closure, but haven't heard/read of any reviews that I put much stock into. https://outdoorvisiongear.com/products/ridgetop%C2%AE-bino-harness

    Base camp cook stoves?

    I will be getting a more elaborate/comfortable base camp (think wall tent) in the very near future. Additionally, we are a couple of weeks out from demo starting on our kitchen remodel. So, I am interested in getting a base camp cook stove. I'm just torn between something like a stand based...

    NEOS overshoes; any experience?

    Soon, I am going to need warmer boots than I currently have. One option I'm considering is the NEOS Navigator. They fit over your current boots, are insulated and have a gaiter like attachment. https://www.overshoesneos.com/Overshoe_Neos_%20Navigator_5.html Just wondering if anyone has had...

    Cots; what do you like?

    Due to my current living situation I will be very soon purchasing a cot. I would like one that works well for vehicle based hunts as well. What make/model do you folks like? Pads on top? Beings as I just killed an air mattress, I'm a bit more interested in a foam pad for on top. Thanks in...

    Super K shoots and scores...again!

    Weekend before Thanksgiving was the gun opener in Indiana. The boys had some skippable activities so we spent the weekend at the cabin trying to get them both bucks. Both have stated emphatically, and multiple times, that they are not shooting a doe during gun season. :D We all got settled...

    Change...

    Yesterday was my 40th birthday. Also, yesterday, I accepted a new job. I'll still be working for the same outfit I work for now, just in a new role. This will require a move, but is going to allow my to move into the house I grew up in. When my dad passed 10yrs ago, my wife and I bought the...

    Flying with your hunting dog?

    I know folks fly with their dogs. My only experience flying with one was with a dog small enough to go on the plane with me as a carryon. Just curious to those that have flown with their dogs and any tips/info/insight they'd be willing to share. Some of the hunts I'd like to do with Hank are...

    First shotgun: O/U vs. Pump

    Since the youth pheasant day, my oldest is showing a much great interest in shotgun shooting and bird hunting. Thus, I want to get him his first shotgun. He shoots LH so some of the standard answers as to make/model don't really apply (eg. 20ga 870). He did well enough with my 870 and also...
