    Ideas for inclusive conservation podcasts - Pattie Gonia

    I find value in discussions with individuals with different viewpoints than your own. You don't have to agree with them to listen to them, and it might help you understand where they are coming from. That said, I would have a hard time taking this individual seriously. If you want to be taken...

    Headed To Australia

    Never been there, but I think of great whites when I think of Australia. A shark cage tour could be cool. A quick google search shows you'd have to take a flight to get to one from Melbourne, so not sure it's in your schedule or not. Alternatively, you could just hop in the ocean and take...

    New threat to 2nd A?

    Haven't kept up on this thread since it is so long. Heading into Minneapolis for an event on Friday. Will be interested to see if I see anything or if any masked men storm my car. So far in the suburbs surrounding the Twin Cities I've seen exactly zero anything. On Walz's "Day of Truth and...

    I think I’m done with big game hunting

    Pick up photography (if not already into it)? Might ignite a new interest and allow you to still pursue big game with a different goal.

    When does the fever hit you? (Buck fever)

    Sadly, I don't feel like I get it that often anymore. The times I do tend to get it the most now are if I am actually wanting to shoot a doe. It isn't very often when I want to shoot one, so when I actually do, I tend to get pretty excited before the shot and can shake. Big bucks for some...

    What are your 2026 Outdoor Plans

    I hesitate to put my plans down since my plans always seem to change. I feel like this year's plans might be less likely to change since they are focused on my son's opportunities. Here they are right now: For sure: - Take my oldest son out for youth deer season in MN. It's his first year...

    Keys to an all day sit

    I used to do all day sits out of necessity when more people were hunting our land. It would guarantee that I got to sit the spot I wanted to sit at least once during the day. During the rut, it no doubt was a good thing to do, but I rarely do it anymore. Part of the fun of the hunt for me is...

    Is chasing Wyoming permits worth it?

    My "dilemma" is that my children are becoming old enough to hunt. I've built points while doing plenty of good hunting and have plenty of points to draw some awesome tags in various states. I just can't bring myself to use them rather than give my children a chance to go hunting somewhere. My...

    Is chasing Wyoming permits worth it?

    Not worth it at all. Give up.

    January 9th Law Enforcement Appreciation Day

    Thank you to the law enforcement officers out there! With the hate that seems to be out there these days, it's not a job I would want, so I am thankful for those that are willing to do it.

    Hush splitting up?

    I think it has something to do with Taylor Swift.

    Same deer?

    This buck will get shot next year given the chance regardless of what size he is. Definitely agree he appears he'll never be a monster. Last year he looked like he had potential, but this year proved otherwise. I've definitely gotten to a point where I prefer to shoot a more mature buck...

    Help with NAPF Gun Raffle?

    Maybe some sort of gift card or redemption coupon from a given manufacturer so the winner can select their own rifle or have a certain amount of money towards the one of their choosing. I like Weatherby, but could be whatever one. Just a thought so it might be more enticing to somebody that...

    Ran its course, now in the weeds.

    We became debt free just over a month ago. We put off putting as much in savings for a year and busted our butts to try and put everything we could into the mortgage. Maybe it made sense or maybe it didn't looking at the numbers. I can say it definitely relieves a lot of stress and made sense...

    Bowhunters - not a big impact?

    I tend to do a better job shooting with archery than with a gun. With a bow, I know I have to make a good shot. With a gun, I think I get too excited and shoot too quick. I am in a shotgun area, and my shots tend to be close encounters and not a lot of time for setup as compared to many rifle...

    Same deer?

    Now that I've had a chance to dig, it doesn't seem like he "shrunk" as much as the original pics made me think he did. Hopefully he doesn't flatline and stay the same next year...

    Same deer?

    Last year: I guess I didn't remember him looking this small last year. This year:

    Same deer?

    Ok. Just did some digging to find more pictures from last year to compare. It's him. Last year: This year:

    Same deer?

    So the results are unanimous right now at yes it's the same buck. Here's the curveball....the picture as a 9 point are from this year, and the picture as a 10 point are last year.... I have seen deer get smaller before and even lose large points, but this would be the most transformative...
