    Colorado Ballot Initiative 91

    Well I’m not from CO and I can’t vote there but I find this very disturbing and disgusting. Do gooders that know nothing about game management can do a lot of harm. I was passing through Steamboat Springs a couple weeks ago and I saw something about this stapled to the outside of a...

    Best way to break in new gun

    Removing all lubricants and running metal on metal without any lube is a recipe for disaster.

    Here's my trips I've planned for fall.

    Opening weekend in central Iowa. Will go back at least once to make buying my license less painful. At least two trips to central SD and hunting everyday that I feel like it in Nebraska.

    OT- homemade meals while on the road

    Saturday evening of opening weekend is always aged hand cut New York strips from a Crio bag, cheesy potatoes, a fresh salad and some type of desert. Breakfast is usually bacon or sausage and eggs. Lunch is a pork fritter from a local greasy spoon or chili.

    Must Haves?

    I’ve always carried a spare set hidden in my dog box. When I tried that with my new Ram it had the proximity feature activated with the fob. The spare fob was too close so anyone could unlock the truck by grabbing the door handle. It took me a while to figure out how to deactivate that!

    Must Haves?

    I tend to carry way to much stuff because I’m a “what if” kind of guy but most of what I carry has came in handy for me or some people I’ve met while out and about. I have a compartment on top of my dog box that a lot of it stays in and a soft cooler holds a bunch of stuff in the back seat of...

    Grouse Hunting and Snakes

    I ran into a rattlesnake in a hay meadow 20 miles north of Hyannis several years ago, sort of caught me by surprise since I wasn't expecting to see one there. The rancher who owned the ground said he'd never seen one there either. The moral of that story is they can be anywhere.

    Land prices.

    I made a big mistake about 3 years ago, my buddy wanted to sell me 80 acres of rough ground that was once farmed. It was enrolled in CRP and NE Open Fields and Waters which generated enough to pay the taxes with some left over and he wanted $50K. I didn't have liquid cash since I wasn't...

    Truck shocks

    I put Bilstein 5100's on my 2007 Nissan Frontier when it had 43,000 miles. I noticed improvement in handling and it still drives like new truck now with 161,000 on it. I just ordered a set of 5100's for my 2014 F-150 Lariat 4x4. $450 from Amazon and a few hours of my time my truck will be...

    Millet

    The Millet they plant around here is a type of sorghum similar to milo although it doesn't get nearly as tall and is a lighter color. It is sewed, like wheat, not planted like milo. When it is harvested it is cut a couple inches off the ground so there isn't any cover for pheasants but I have...

    New dog skunk kit

    I carry the Dawn dish soap, hydrogen peroxide and baking soda in a plastic shoe box with a lid that I bought in Walmart. It goes in the top of my dog box. I haven't had my dog skunked in many years but my buddies Brittany got it last year. There is a reason that I have a nice dog box in the...

    STORING SHOT SHELLS

    I've got some 50+ years old shotgun shells that still work and they've been stored in an unheated garage, in the basement, in the house and are now in a storage container. In the fall I have several boxes in my truck and the temps vary from a high of well over 100* to a low of -20* ambient...

    What's in your vest?

    It definitely was a freak injury, he never hunted with us again but I did see him a few years later. He had a gruesome scar and said the recovery was tough but he had good use of his arm. I always think about that when people make fun of me for carrying stuff with me and they say "I'm usually...

    Uninsulated Boots??

    Most of my boots are uninsulated but I have found the right socks make every boot more comfortable. If it's below 20* and I hunt all day in cotton socks my feet will get cold when traveling between spots or we quit for the day. If I wear a good pair of wool blend socks that doesn't happen.

    What's in your vest?

    I feel I've been pretty fortunate that since I've been carrying that stuff I've never has to use the real first aid stuff, I.E. tourniquet or blood stopper. But I've seen some pretty gruesome injuries before I had that stuff with me and I could have used it. On opening day of pheasant seaso...

    Saying Goodbye

    I’m so sorry for your loss, losing a dog is like losing a family member. I thought it was funny that she would see your Brit point and go charging over to flush. I’ve had some Welsh Spring Spaniels that do the same thing, they watch my GSP’s and when they point here comes the Welshie brigade...

    USMC Danner boots

    I don’t know what a “normal” price would be for that boot, but a USA made Danner boot like the Grouse is $380. Their Chinese boots are cheaper but the ones made in the USA are significantly higher. These boots are made in the USA. I have ordered from that website a bunch of times and haven’t...

    K-9 Komfort No Slip Grip 76" Lead/Leash - Anyone interested?

    I bought two of these from Chestle, they are high quality and a very nice leash! Much better quality than you would find most places for the same amount of money.
