I've been on 2 SD trips, both times the first weekend of November for 4 days of hunting. T-shirts or long sleeves has been the normal wear. As a side note, don't ever get married the first weekend of November. It makes for some really quiet time at home following a 4 day trip. But man, did...

I didn't take his KDWP comment as blaming them for the fall in population, just their overuse of rose colored glasses as they try to spin the fall in population to maintain tourism dollars from out of state hunters.

My dads got them and really likes them. He put tuff toe on them when new. Hasn’t been used hard, 3 seasons? Couple hundred miles through heavy CRP grass.

I've got some synthetics, but wood all the way. There is no such thing as too nice, buy it, use it, treasure the memories.

As others stated, you don't need cell signal to have full functionality with OnX. Download the map ahead of time, then you can even turn the cell signal off and it will still work just fine. I much rather use OnX than a paper map because I can always see exactly where I am. I often even draw...

Climate has changed from day 1 and continues to change and will always change.

Garden City is 9" below average, and St Louis, MO got 9" last night.

Those are sockeye/red salmon. When they come up river to spawn they quit eating. So the accepted method to catch them is “flossing”. You throw a fly line across river ahead of them. They’re swimming upstream with their mouth open. Line hits mouth and pulls the hook into the lip. I’d never heard...

For those talking Alaska, go do it, you'll love every minute of it. I think we caught 10 different species of fish on our charter trip. Then did some flossing for salmon up the Russian River. I'd do it every year, but the wife thinks laying on a boring beach getting sand in everything is just...

I have zero affiliation or experience, just found it informative and interesting---- The woman that founded this company was on a MeatEater podcast a while back. I found their discussion with her very informative. She doesn't sell one product, a one size fits all solution, but rather reps...

Lots of discussion on this on the 16 gauge forum several months back. Some were adamant like you that they’re on a 12 gauge frame. Some were adamant that when they dug in with IFG then FAIR in Italy that they were on a smaller frame. One guy had both a 12 and 16 and said visually the 16...

My millwright/welding buddies all use TuffToe on their boots to save the toes when kneeling on concrete. Dad put it on a pair of moc toe Danner’s 3 years ago and they still look new after miles of walking through CRP.

No. And in typical forum fashion, I use Obenaufs on all my leather.

I’ll buy every $2k 1620 you send my way. I’ll even take the ones that are missing half their triggers.

A couple of the less gussied up FAIR Isides are under or right at $2k and get good reviews. My dad has used a Dickinson (turkish) 16 for the last 10 years or so and likes it a lot, his primary gun. Seen several used Uggies in that range and they always get good reviews. They don't show up in...

The first question has to be what is your budget? Is it $800? or $8,000? or $80,000? If you max spend is going to be $1,000 no matter what, throwing out offerings that start at $4k or $5k isn't going to do you any good.

I saved this link in my bookmarks from a different forum I'm on that several guys had done work with and were happy with the results. I've never gone down this road, but someday when the wife isn't looking.... http://gunstockduplicating.com/index.html

New red lab coming in. Some say that red was the original yellow, but they were bred for the yellow to dominate and that the new reds are actually reverting back to the old ways. Some say they've got a little Vizsla mixed in. Cute little fellas no matter the breeding.... ;)

I moved 5 years ago and there is a skeet/trap range 2 miles down the road. I have yet to shoot there. Every year I tell myself I need to. Do shoot skeet/trap/sporting clays a few times a year elsewhere though, plus some backyard clays once in a while. I only shoot low gun, no matter what...
