    Vegetarians more depressed according to Science

    https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/986196 What's hilarious is the article and the comments basically saying "non-meateaters are just simply better people so they are more disturbed by animal/environmental abuse". Reminds me of the neurasthenia fad in Japan. Except there may be an actual...

    Duck survey numbers!!

    https://www.ducks.org/conservation/waterfowl-surveys/2022/duck-numbers Considering the drought last year nothing too surprising except maybe GWT numbers since the theory was they would fly to the wetter boreal and be fine.

    Dumb question

    I hunt a field about 8 inches of water depth. No ice right now. It's 34 currently and getting down to 20 tonight. High 37 tomorrow and low 25 Friday night. How much ice should I expect on Saturday morning? Thin enough to break with boots or need atv? Or don't bother... Thanks!

    Shotgun fitment

    So I'm looking at 2 Semiauto shotguns right now. $250 difference in price. Cheaper gun is lighter weight and would be preferable to me. HOWEVER, when I shoulder it, I have to mash my cheek onto the stock to look down the barrel. Like my eye is naturally high looking down onto the rib. LOP 14...

    NM travel restrictions, negative test rule gone

    Apparently the NM governor rescinded the rule allowing exemption from the 14 day quarantine if you had recent negative Covid test. However, nobody knows if: A) hunters are exempt due to the tag being a "contract" with the state B) hunting and camping is considered "quarantine ". Guess it doesnt...

    Arkansas BHA youtube channel

    https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCjDv3kKZGp9FaXhTLdsgFiQ If you are in AR, or not, and want to share some tips for other hunters, the local chapter has some videos on the channel. They don't have many views so maybe give them some likes and clicks. Thanks!

    Stormy Kromer

    Anybody have a detailed review? Does the ear band stay on easily? Does it stay in place when moved down over the ears? Looking for something to replace the Remi Warren system I'm using now. Kinda uncomfortable.

    Hey NM residents, what is the most popular University or college in NM among the hunting population? I'm thinking of getting some license plates so my truck blends in a little more when I come out for my hunt. Will be northern NM. Thanks!

    Ballistics calculators and atmospheric pressure

    So I'm playing around with ballistic calculators and I noticed there are sections for atmospheric pressure AND altitude. I'm a little confused because, all other factors equal, isn't the issue with altitude BECAUSE of the atmospheric pressure? So if you had a bullet at sea level and pressure is...

    So I have a couple elk points in Wyoming. I'm only looking at the NR Regular draw. If I really want to hunt Wyoming 2020 should I ONLY apply for general tag? I read on Gohunt that Regular draw NR applicants will not draw the general tag as their 2nd choice but wanted to confirm on HT that I was...

    Coleman cooler mod

    I bought this Coleman marine coastal xtreme 70qt for $40 at Walmart. Seems decent. I like that it has steel hinges rather than the plastic ones. Closes pretty tight which is good. Very lightweight compared to my Engel. Plan is to use it as a meat cooler. Going to use my Engel to fill with...
