I’ve seen uni-strut mounted to the side and front of the bed and used as tie down points. Toyota has a factory rail option that does the same thing at a higher cost and slightly better of aluminum extrusion. Could probably buy some 80:20 or T-slot rail and make a customized rail to your...

Yep, I think I have 4 pairs in my “misc” box and dog box. Have had others recommended, but they didn’t have the “notch” close to the hinge, so when yiu go to clip the leg or wing it goes squirting out. I also enter from the vent and cut up each side of the backbone coming out at the neck. Cut...

Exactly how we do it. Farmer in western Kansas showed us how.

Boss reminds me of a politician. Any which way the wind blows them.

Walnut is always the correct answer. Unless you're just beating it up in the duck marsh, and then its flip a coin.

I like shears better for small game. But custom ones are a bad rabbit hole to get into. Easier to sneak in a he house than shotguns. Then get into custom pocket knives and it’s worse.

I have an old light weight Cabelas strap vest dad and I both got 15? Years ago. It’s getting fairly tattered up and I bit the bullet on a Final Rise this year. The boy will inherit the old strap vest with some patches sewn on to keep shells from leaking on the ground…. Will test the final rise...

I made a “loop” of paracord. Just goofing off at home (live on 7 acres) it goes around my neck. When hunting I run it through a tab on my vest. Either just let it dangle from vest, or set the length so it’s just long enough to rest in a front pocket of my coat/vest, but still easy to pull and...

I bought a 550+ last year. Realized real quick I won’t go without GPS in the future. The way I’ve seen it explained is the 550+ is a training collar with GPS capability. And the Alpha series are a GPS collar with some training capability. With the 550+, without looking I can toggle between 3...

I had never worn sunglasses my entire life due to prescriptions, I’m 45. For the last 10 years or so I have about 3 pairs of prescription sunglasses, keep a set in each truck so I always have them. I can’t imagine hunting on a sunny day without them. They help me on identifying a bird by not...

I'm 45, have a 9 year old and a 6.5 year old shorthair. Was going to add a pudelpointer puppy next year, but the wife's goldendoodle became a lady of night and we now have a yellow golden labradoodle that is 11 weeks old. Looks like I'll be doing more duck hunting in my future. My point to...

The last 5 years or so I've been fairly diligent on deleting the 'trash' photos, you know the ones where you took 10 pictures of the same thing and they all look the same. Delete all but 1. Then you have the 'trash' photos that show you dog or hunting buddy or whatever, but they're so far out...

I can’t help with your question, but might help others looking at Final Rise. Black Ovis has several versions of Final Rise in stock. It took a month for me to get mine in December direct. Nephew got his in 2 days from Black Ovis.

Been a while since I listened to the Meateater podcasts on this with the lawyers legal explanation, so this might not be perfect, but close- My understanding was that it wasn’t actually illegal, there were no laws in the books saying “thou shall not corner cross”. Which is why the Missouri...

I have an Instinct watch paired to my Pro 550 Plus. I’d like it a lot more if I wasn’t near sighted. I have to look over or under my glasses to see it. Guess that means it is time for bifocals…. Also I connect my handhold to the Garmin app on my phone. Likely not needed with the Alpha screen.

I used Winchester 1 3/8 ounce at 1450 on ducks this year and was impressed. More kills. Less wounded than my normal steel. Rogers, $1.48/shell. Case of 250 for $370. Was $400 a month ago when I bought another case...

I can't remember the exact details, but the gist of it was a guy called in to the 'You Betcha' guys, as he was road hunting ditch chickens. I think (might be a stretch here) he even shot one while he was talking to them...

Agreed. So many fundraisers for various kids groups, kids trips, kids sports teams around here have raffles for whatever the cheapest entry level rifle or shotgun they can get their hands on. I'll pay my $20 and almost hope I don't win. I'd much rather pay $100 to the same group for a chance...

Never heard of it.

They don’t. They contract Turks and Italians to.
