    Fly fishing bobbers that stay put?

    Jaydacators work well. Super light and pegged in place with a toothpick.

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    I suppose with so many different fly line designs available these days it is hard to generalize (and not worth arguing about), but for what it is worth, this is from the Orvis website: Most DT lines are used by fisherman who concentrate on dry flies. WF lines are used by anglers who want one...

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    The first 30 feet or so of the DT and WF will have a pretty similar profile and will cast similarly at moderate distance. If you can cast well enough to shoot line, the WF will make that easier as the thinner line behind the head will present less resistance running through the guides. DT lines...

    Broken drill bit removal in rifle stock

    Try a leather punch slightly larger that the diameter of the bit. Give it a solid whack and that may displace enough material from around the bit to allow you to grip it with pliers.

    Hip waders

    Last pair I had were Lacrosse and they were excellent.

    WIREHAIRED POINTING GRIFFON OR GERMAN WIREHAIRED POINTER? True Versatility

    In my experience it comes down to the breeding more than the breed. Find a line that consistently throws pups with the attributes you like and go with that. There are GSPs that work at 50 yards and others at 500. Breed generalizations are of limited help in predicting performance.

    Grand Canyon & Sedona Family Trip

    Grand Canyon railroad from Williams to the South Rim is something kids should like. The hike up the West Fork of Oak Creek near Sedona is stunning, but very crowded on weekends. There are a lot of cool petroglyph sites around Sedona.

    A400 choke

    Mine varies greatly depending on loads. Muller decoy choke patterns about 60% at 40 yards with the non-tox loads i use for ducks. Patterning is the only way to know for sure.

    THC gummies for dogs

    Dogs don’t metabolize THC the same way humans do and, as I understand it, it is considered a toxin. I’ve used Ellevet brand CBD oil in arthritic dogs with good success, but would not use a THC product.

    Browning Superposed Lightning insight

    I have a Lightening 20 made in 64 that is a great gun. One thing to watch out for is the “salt wood” period, when Browning salt cured stocks, which had a tendency to corrode surrounding steel. Get the exact year of manufacture and compare that with the availability literature on the salt wood...

    Best Dog Crate for Truck Bed?

    Gunners are the Rolls Royce of dog kennels. The doors triple lock, they are double walled and they have very stout tie down points. Only downsides are weight (if you are moving it in and out of the bed often) and cost. It you don’t have a Rolls budget, Ruff Land makes a really nice kennel.

    Tawney leaving BHA

    From a member’s outside perspective, Land has always struck me as a better pioneer than a settler. Given the growth and maturity of the organization, this change may be the right thing. He sure can leave feeling great about what he has accomplished.

    Question for CA home based FFL

    I’ve ordered from Boss and others. Once they confirm information directly with the FFL, they don’t care who places the order.

    Best Alaska Books

    Not mine! Bought my copy years ago and for MUCH less. Try Abe books. They list some editions for $30 or so.

    Best Alaska Books

    Alaska Yukon Trophies Won and Lost by G.O. Young is outstanding adventure, but can be tough to find. Anything by Russ Annabel is great.

    Why do you hunt?

    I’ll borrow what the late, great Tom McIntyre said: Because it puts me in my place, in every sense of that phrase.

    Going to HuntTalk for Legal(?) Advice about a Property I own

    i would use a standard lease form, for a fixed number of years, but terminable by either party on reasonable notice. The lease should provide all improvements revert to the lessor upon termination. The biggest headache you will have then is handling whatever personal property remains on site...
