    Stop Blaming Conservation Orgs

    Quality hunting access is not that hard to obtain if you put a little bit of work in it. I have examples from WY, MT, SD, ND and MN where someone has put a little bit of effort in and been rewarded with great hunting. Not to mention the quality hunting that is available on public land. I...

    The Devil's Lettuce

    My opinion and my opinion only-not trying to convince anyone. I HATE the smell of it. Can't stand being around it or cigarette smoke. If it is around, I will be leaving quickly. At church, we have a drug and alcohol rehab center come in and give their testimonies. The vast majority of the...

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    Nice to see them spreading out. We have quite a few around here. One summer, we went to Yellowstone. A bunch of cars were pulled over so we stopped. Our little kids hopped out and they ran to where the people were watching something, hoping to see an elk or grizzly. They asked the people...

    Study: Hunters Die After Consuming CWD-Infected Venison

    I believe a lot of people want to be naysayers because of what that might mean in the future. These two cases may be nothing. Or they may be the start. It would be wise to keep an eye on it. No need to go nuclear at this point as this is most likely a coincidence, but it would be foolish to...

    Kids

    Strictly answering your question, less when they are really young, but then gradually increasing until for me, I go more now because of them. I cannot describe how fun it is to teach your little buddies about the outdoors and hunting. My wife says I have raised outdoor addicts. I couldn't be...

    Spice blends

    I like all of the Alpine Touch flavors. I also just found out I like the Traeger Blackened rub. Only had it once, but I was about ready to put it on my Cheerios the next morning it was so good.

    Housing Appreciation and Inflation: Future Outlook?

    The American Dream is still very much alive. If a young person works some throughout high school, gets decent grades, stays out of jail, doesn't have a child, goes to an affordable college and gets a degree in something useful (or works in a trade), it is very doable. However, if a young...

    NFL Draft Predictions - a pointless game, but at least it has a $$ prize for the winner

    1. Bears take a bust in Caleb Williams 2. Warshington gets the likely best QB in Jayden Daniels 3. New England gets Maye and asks him to wear Brady's old shoes 4. My Vikes and your Vikes trade their next dozen 1st rounders and pick JJ McCarthy 5. Chargers are thrilled Marvin Harrison Jr...

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    It is rare that I laugh at something on the internet. I laughed at the pics of your wife/daughter HuntTalk Freak. That is just plain funny. Keep those for her wedding.

    Stoking the fire

    Interesting take Ben. I have found the allure of turkey hunting in the past few years. There is something about the scouting, the spring woods, the getting out of bed at crazy hours, the very act of enjoying nature. Something unique about watching deer for the sake of watching deer with no...

    Journaling

    I, being a proud pocket-protector wearing engineer, use a spreadsheet to keep track of my and my kids hunting exploits. I also keep track of trips. I track family vacations, hunts, fishing trips, etc. Lastly, I have The Man Book! this is a 3-ring binder of photos of every trip, kills, and...

    2024 BHA Rendezvous in Minneapolis

    I will likely head down there with my two sons. Interesting side note, it was originally scheduled to occur at the fairgrounds in St. Paul, however, they would not allow knives or guns on the premises so they moved it to the convention center in Mpls. Usually you can sneak in and out of the...

    March Madness 2024 - Hunt Talk Group

    Why oh why did I pick some of those teams? In hindsight, it is painfully obvious those teams were gonna lose.

    Mountain lions "losing fear of man"?

    As I pondered some of these questions, a couple more popped up: 1. Is 53 years enough to lose fear of man? How many generations does it take given that lions have very infrequent contact with humans? 2. Would re-instating hunting take less time? Similar? More? I have to believe that treeing...

    Abandoned oil wells

    Yes. They just sit there in most cases. But with the Act mentioned above, states are now getting millions to plug and properly abandon these wells. So finally something is being done. Some of the wells I have worked on are close to 100 years old with extraction companies that went out of...
