    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…

    2026: Cold Shot of the Day

    Well, time to limber up the bow. It’s been a while…bow season is barely 30 days away… 30 yards. PSE Carbon Levitate, 58#. 475gr. Arrow setup. Need to check my grip…but at least I’m being consistent.

    So I want to go to Kodiak

    I’ve been to Alaska four times…Sitka Blacktail, Goat and Bear…and once on Motorcycle for 19 days and 6100 miles…and I am absolutely not done with Alaska…or perhaps Alaska isn’t done with me. However you can get there, do it. GO. I did all three of the hunts with a Guide - you can absolutely...

    What trucks do you regret selling?

    Technically I’ve only owned two trucks…a 2012 Tundra Platinum and a 2016 1794. I still have the ‘16 1794 and with 104k on the clock, it’s probably the last truck I will ever own. At 57 years old and at the rate I’m putting miles on (5k per year) I figure I’m good well into my 80’s. I do...

    How many guys using Michelin LTX on your hunting rig? Experience?

    I love the LTX on-road. They are mediocre at best off-road…and downright lousy if you want to push them. My truck is a 2016 Toyota 1794 5.7 4x4 with a GoFast camper on back. I’m averaging about 15.4 mpg. I’m running Bilstien 5160/5100’s R/F. This is absolutely a Cadillac ride. I had two...

    What Rifle/Caliber Combinations Have you liked the most and disliked the most and why?

    Liked the Most? My .257 Roberts in a Remington M7MS topped with a Leupold 2.5-8x36: quite possibly my absolute favorite deer rifle and was “One and done” on load development. A 117 gr. SGK over 43 gr. Of H4350 for 2,800 fps… Hated the Most? My 7mm SAUM in a Remington M7 AWR (original). It...

    New to muzzleloading

    I’m shooting 777 exclusively. Mostly pellets…but definitely have a couple pounds of loose powder. I’ve never shot Blackthorn…probably never will. I’m sure it’s wonderful but it’s far too costly for me to care…especially since my hunting shots are well less than 100 yards. Does 777 have a...

    4” N Frame Holster Recommendations

    I have used a few but my favorite for a revolver is a reversible strong/crossdraw Galco Phoenix. Clean lines and retention and I love the crossdraw option. Second place: Rob’s own Sourdough Pancake. I use one with a GP100 3”. Much better pricetag…I’m not as fond of how it works crossdraw...
