    2025 dove thread

    Ended up scrounging for 8 at my secret public spot. It's about an hour from home and I didn't know there had been a grass fire out there recently. I had little hope of anything showing up after I drove in this morning, but I made the best of it. Last year I ran into a good size rattle snake out...

    Companies that go the extra mile.

    I know not everyone is a fan of Buck knives, but I had a good experience with them a few years ago. I carry one of their folding knives for my daily work knife, somehow I got the pocket clip caught on something and it bent the heck out of it and after that it was super loose clipped on my pocket...

    Hunting Solo by choice or circumstance

    I hunt solo because I have no other choice. My dad gave up years ago, now in his 70's its a fight to get him out of the house. I went a couple times with co workers years ago, but I've been self employed the last 3+ years so no longer have work buddies to go with. All my highschool friends...

    I loved the Shiloh books as a kid. Anything with a dog got me hooked.

    Best children outdoor book

    As a 90's kid, Hatchet and Where the Red Fern Grows comes to mind. He's probably a bit young for the Redwall book series and aren't necessarily "outdoor" books but they are excellent adventure books.

    Verify that you hunt

    I'm a lousy big game hunter, but a half decent dove hunter. I limited out 2 days in a row on public last year.

    Automotive question?

    I bought a used truck last summer that had one tire that went bad on me, it wasn't rough until you hit about 40mph the back end would start hopping and then smooth out again after 60. Like others have said I'd check u-joints on the drive line. I'd also check ball joints, steering rods and...

    January Inflation

    That's my fear, so in the end what's the benefit of tariffs?

    January Inflation

    Overall tariffs make me uncomfortable. I understand he used it as leverage to make the weaker countries back down, but if some of the bigger ones call his bluff I only see it hurting us as consumers. I have a small welding business so the steel tariffs definitely have an impact and I'm already...

    What are you currently reading?

    I'm halfway through this one and enjoying it so far. What's interesting is it's written by Pat Garrett who eventually killed him, but his writing of all the stories about Billy shows more admiration and respect for him than animosity towards him. What's further interesting is the movie Chisum...

    Hogue Knives

    I know I'm resurrecting an old topic but wondering if you ended up getting any hogue knives and how you or anyone else like them. I recently came across them myself and I'm genuinely interested.

    Unpopular Opinion on Brisket

    After watching countless YouTube videos and reading bbq blogs the last few years I've smoked a handful of Briskets (all prime from costco) and I dont know what all the fuss is about. It's never been inedible but people always act blown away by brisket and I've yet to have one to really make...

    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    Most auto lenses are adjustable (some aren't) if it is, turn it down a shade. Since you're mig welding, "push" your puddle instead of dragging it, if you arent already, the gun blocks your view of where youre going. As sytes said there's a lot of good stuff on YouTube. I highly recommend the...

    Metalworking Hunttalkers!

    What shade lens is your welding hood? Were you wearing shaded glasses underneath? Turn your head more sideways down the line you're welding to try and get a better view. What type of welding are you running? If you're just starting out, use a piece of soap stone and a square and scribe a line...

    Life insurance question

    Like said above, a term life policy has way more bang for the buck if you have a family that relies on your income. I got a $500k 30 year term life policy at age 30 a few years ago and it costs $315/year.

    My public land limit with my old single shot this year. Had so much fun I went out and limited out the following day again.

    Between breakdowns, unpredictable markets and politics, it's not for the faint of heart.

    Harvest has been in full swing the the last two months. Lots of broken equipment to repair this time of year.
