    Small game knives

    I'm a knife guy, I've got dozens, most have never been used and just take up space but I find the 3 get the most use. My daily carry is a Kershaw Al Mar design that is super easy to open one handed. It resides in my pocket on most days but it's super hard to sharpen but it holds a good edge...

    For sale prime south dakota hunting land and cabin

    There are a bunch of properties like this in western Nebraska around the big lake listed by realtors trying to sell hunting property. Many have been grossly inflated and most don't sell. It's a get rich quick scheme. I know of two places, bought within the last 2-3 years that are back on the...

    Is it really an upgrade?

    I wish you lived a little closer, you could stop by and look at a bunch of vests that I have and see if they’d work for you! I haven’t tried the Final Rise or the Pyke but I’ve got most of the others. WingWorks is probably my favorite and it’s built like a tank! I can’t ever see wearing it...

    Do you carry a dog first aid kit while hunting and if so what should be in one

    I carry the Felco C-7's, a couple of heavy zip ties for Connibear traps, a CAT tourniquet, blood stopper gauze, an emergency blanket, tape, gauze, matches, a Kerlex roll, a couple of bandaids, a quality multi tool and TP. Everything but the C-7's, the zip ties, the multi-tool and the TP fit in...

    Getting ready for the season

    A couple of weeks after the season is over I go over my gear and try to get it in shape. I make a list of anything that needs to be fixed or replaced and pack my stuff away in a tote after washing what needs it. This helps with the depression that sits in after the season closes. I do a deep...

    Most Satisfying Shot

    I was hunting some rough CRP on the side of a valley. My good old dog Gibby pointed and I walked up beside her and a rooster flushed on my right but behind me. I swung to my right and shot, saw feathers ruffled but he kept flying. The second shot ruffled more feathers but he kept flying like...

    Cooking Own Meals at the Motel

    I haven't tried this but I wonder how a sous vide would do in heating frozen meals? I think mine goes to 200*. That would easily reheat frozen chili or a stew and it would be ready the minute you walked in!

    Memorable quotes to think about as the bird seasons approach

    Some of my favorite quotes came from friends. I watched a rooster get up at my buddies Dave's feet and he shot five times with his Remington 870 12 gauge 30" barrel and missed! As he lowered his gun he looked at me and said "there goes a rooster with a cast iron vest". He was a very good shot...

    Knee Surgery Question

    I've been having knee pain for couple of years but just nagging, not debilitating. After the beginning of hunting season last year I had it injected and that really helped but by March it was hurting again. I went to a orthopedic guy that specializes in knees and after x-rays* he told me I had...

    Kuiu vest

    I bought one of THESE from Amazon for my Marsupial vest. The color matches and it has a Velcro cover rather than magnets. I put a Velcro shell holder in the bottom for a couple of specialty shells. I know that it will hold over a box of shells but I never carry that many. I bought three from...

    Kuiu vest

    I don't disagree they have great customer service but they have had many complaints about their shell pockets and their padded shoulder straps. They now offer the low profile straps but not in blaze orange! I know many who have complained directly to them about the shell pockets but they remain...
