    Funny buck rack

    I'm wondering if the buck was moving right when the snap was taken. back in the film days you'd get pix like that when people moved in a picture.

    Boot stiffness

    Boot makers, Crispi included, have different sole stiffness. My hunting boots are Crispi Laponia’s and they run a “2” level stiffness. Fairly flexible. When I replace them I will go a notch more stiff…but in all fairness, 4 years in, those boots are still going strong and doing exactly what I...

    Goodbye Black Diamond. - School me on headlamps

    Late to the game but…Fenix. I think I have five different lights at this point. No, make that six. Four headlamps and two hand-lights. Oldest one is pushing about 8 years old now, it’s on its second single cr123 equivalent rechargeable. Fenix simply gets the “it”. Enough power, great...

    Battery Chainsaws

    I have Ryobi 18v tools…and as a result have both the 8” pole saw and the 10” chain saw. They punch far, far about their weight. The 10” rides in the Truck during hunting season. It does amazing work. I’d love to get a proper 20” or 24” battery saw…but I just don’t need something that big...

    Threading and chopping a barrel?

    Actually, up to a certain point shorter barrels are stiffer than longer barrels do have a tendency to shoot more accurately. One of the singular most accurate rifles in my safe is a POF AR10 with a 14.5” barrel + 2” welded on brake for a total of 16.5”. Sure, velocity is 30-30 level but...

    Threading and chopping a barrel?

    Two years ago I decided to build a dedicated silencer ready deer hunting setup. Took my 24” tack-driver Christensen Arms Carbon Ridgeline and found a pre-fit 16.25” Proof barrel for it. That’s an 8” barrel subtraction to which I added an 8” Q Thunder Chicken can to it. The 25 fps is a very...

    Ruger Discontinues many models

    Well let’s be rational. The SP101 and the GP100 have shelf lives somewhere between 500k and 1M rounds before they remotely need a rebuild. So yeah, they’ve saturated the market with enough hardware to last several millennia. It’s no wonder they are scaling back some production.

    Happy Wheel Gun Wednesday

    Not bad at all. It’s the small frame 3.5” FA97 in .44 Special. I’ve got a very solid load built up for it: 300gr. Hardcast at 1,050 fps (*750 FPE). Very controllable and super accurate. With normal .44 Special loads it’s a pussycat.

    A Blind Raising…

    Well, today was the finish of several weeks of effort. Raising a new blind. I have a Jr. Hunter to take out on their first hunts this year so I wanted to make sure it was stable, large enough, and warm enough (*with a Buddy Heater) to make it a very decent experience. Build it in my...

    Kodiak Sitka and raingear

    I used Marmot Precip jacket and pants when I was on Kodiak. They worked great on the Island…but did delaminate after 10 years of mild general use over the years.

    This country's hard on people. You can't stop what's coming.

    If hunting was easy, everyone would do it. It’s the ugly challenges, the pain, the mental damage…that I remember and savor the most.

    Manufactured Outrage

    Dumped Facebook, Insta, never bothered with TikTok or any of that garbage. My life so much more peaceful now than before. HuntTalk is about as social media as I get anymore…

    So I want to go to Kodiak

    Whatever tent you bring, plan for some kind of backup solution. Even if it’s a tarp and hiking poles - have a backup plan.

    So I want to go to Kodiak

    This was a video I took on my hunt. I think it dates back to 2011, maybe 2012. I’d just shot a very nice buck, he was trapped to our two packs and we were headed back down to camp. We had the wind in our favor and realized we had some deer moving towards us…so we froze. I pulled out my...

    Container Cabin Build

    I love these build threads! In the end you are going to have something so much better than the typical RV that gets parked somewhere.

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    Middle Tennessee: $3.42 a gallon at Costco. Still hurts putting 32g into the Tundra…
