    Southwest Airlines

    Anybody else have a Southwest Airlines flight booked this week? Closely watching their current cancellation issues hoping they get squared away asap. I'd hate to rebook a flight with another airline for 3x the cost days before departure...

    A first elk hunt

    Putting a thread together covering the lead up to my first elk hunt seemed appropriate, not simply for eliciting some comments that could make my trip more enjoyable, but to also keep me honest when I tell myself that I should do a post-hunt writeup. I've enjoyed reading many of yours over the...

    Hiring

    Non-hunting related question... It appears I am being put in a position at the company I work for to hire a new employee. I'm having resumes passed over to me and will likely be involved in the interview process as well. Not having any experience with this sort of thing, I find myself...

    First Lite Larkspur for sale

    I bought my wife a pair of small first lite Larkspur bottoms a few years ago. She wore them maybe once. Basically new condition, no pilling. $40 tyd. Sizing: If you're a 5'6" male approximately 150lbs, they do not fit well. Don't ask me how I know.

    Representative response rate

    For those of you that have written to your elected officials, I was curious what sort of response rate you've gotten. I don't write emails too often but for those that I have sent, I've really only heard back from one (and I wasn't a constituent of theirs, or even from their state). I'm not...

    Boss plow experience

    I was wondering if any of you have experience with boss plows, more specifically pricing. Over the summer I was quoted a Boss straight plow for my side-by-side for $2700. That quote expired at the end of August. I went to purchase it at the beginning of October and the price increased nearly 20%...

    Thinking about getting a UTV

    Does anyone have a Kubota UTV? I'm thinking of getting one for snowplowing my driveway, some projects around the yard, stuff like that. I'm between two models, the RTV-500 ($9,500) and the RTV-XG850SL-AS ($11,599). Both prices without plow. Don't want to spend anymore than the 850. Any...

    Deer distractions

    How is someone supposed to get any work done working from home when this 9 point is walking 30 yards outside of the window when season is open? Picture came out lousy. Window screen messes up the focus. Decided just to watch. Something about shooting next to your house in pajamas doesn't...

    Is this a peculiar bear hunting regulation?

    I'm doing my first ever black bear hunt in western MA this weekend. My guess is that people around here commonly sit over natural bait (cornfield, apple orchards, etc.) or just happen to have one walk by while deer hunting. I'm trying to get away from just sitting in a treestand, so I figured...

    Pheasant hunting without dogs

    The state wildlife agency here in MA stocks pheasants throughout the state on both public and private lands. I know very little about this sort of hunting, but since one place they stock is right down the street, I figured I'd give it a try. However, I feel like most pheasant hunting is done...

    Trying to figure out the proper approach to moving out west

    I've been scanning the popular "moving out west" threads, as my wife and I are strongly considering a move. I'm not asking the "what state" question since I don't have any specific requirements at this point to help guide an answer. What I would like to know, if possible, is if anyone has any...

    Rangefinder Scopes

    I see that the topic of rangefinding binoculars is brought up often, and that several manufacturers make them. However, i dont hear much about rangefinding scopes. a quick Google search shows that Burris makes one but I don't typically hear anything about this. I'd imagine it could be useful...

    Christmas gift ideas

    I was wondering if anyone here knew of any public land themed gift ideas I can give some family for the Christmas holiday. They aren't into hunting, nor are they particularly aware of the public land issues, so I'm not sure if something like a membership is the right idea. I was thinking more...

    Freezer Burn Bone Broth Question

    I never got around to making bone broth last year. I just checked the vac seal bags and noticed one wasn't a tight seal and a couple of the femur bones got freezer burned. I Does anyone have any idea if that will affect the bone broth's final product? Thank you, Chris

    Need a new archery target

    I dug through some old threads but mostly found ideas for making your own, or cheap ones. Does anyone have any recommendations on quality targets I should look at for a new target? Thank you, Chris

    National Park Entrance Fee Increase

    Just read this article a few minutes ago... https://www.nps.gov/orgs/1207/10-24-2017-fee-changes-proposal.htm While I think we would all agree that the $70 doesn't come close to the value you get by visiting these places, it does seem high for those who dont have a lot of disposable income and...

    2 people, 1 scope, two POI groups

    I was hoping someone could shed some light on this. I am dialing in my rifle for myself and someone else who is going to be using it and noticed that I am getting consistent groups 3 inches high and the other person is right on. Why can a fixed scope have 2 people hitting in two different spots...
