    PP Handgun- Need some advice

    I'm finally crossing the bridge into getting a handgun for home/personal protection. The use will be at home locked up in a quick access safe, traveling, and camping in the far reaches. I most often have some sort of firearm available, but not easy access or small. I'm not a fear monger and...

    Purchasing ONLY hunting rights to land?

    So looking for some reasonable input here. We have family land, not a lot, that was split between two siblings (each has their own kids, I am one of them) with equal acreage. The half of land is essentially flat cropland offering no cover but has some opportunity depending on crop type and...

    Best conservation organizations to be a part of?

    So instead of hijacking the MWA thread, I thought I 'd start a new one. Simply put, what conservation organizations out there do you feel are worth supporting and why? Or maybe what organizations do you not support and why? I feel there are so many out there it is hard to really figure out...

    Fall bite on Sakakawea?

    Never had a chance to get to Sak this summer but am contemplating a trip in October. It seems the fishing this year was much more spotty than past years. Or should I say not "easy" like it was the previous couple. Any guesses on how the fall bite will be? From reading on past years it looks...

    Transducer issue? Or other? Humminbird Helix

    I am having issues with my Helix 7 DI unit. Worked fine until this weekend, but all of a sudden the DI image is junk and has very little definition. The 2D sonar seems to be a little less clear as well but still worked OK. No settings have been changed since the last time I used it so I am...

    E85 approved for year round use? Anyone run the stuff?

    So I just read an article on the Argus Leader written by none other than the CEO of POET ethanol. It touted the new to me decision at the federal level to allow E85 year round. Apparently it was not allowed in some areas in summer due to pollution. He went on to say how it would increase our...

    Deer decoy safety?

    Area I hunt is well beyond foot traffic in the Black Hills of SD. Never seen a hunter while in any of my trees. However, I hunt opening that have a decent line of sight from other directions so the possibility of someone coming by out of my eyesight is possible. I'd really love to use a deer...

    Snakebite vaccine for dogs

    So had my dad's lab get hit by a rattlesnake on Friday. Right on the nose, decent size snake. Dog has had the snakebite vaccine since young (she's 4 now). Swelled up a fair bit in the face and neck but really minimal compared to what I had thought. The vet didn't do any antivenom, just anti...

    Pheasant surrogator?

    Anyone here know of anyone who has used a Surrogator to raise pheasants? After the rough winters and drought years we are thinking about using one. Got one we can try out, so worth the shot. Know one other person who says they had success with them, has a good population of birds after a few...

    The Food Plot & Habitat Thread

    I've read a lot of good info on here and thought it would be great to have a place where everyone could share their food plot & habitat work in one place. Sharing what worked for you/didn't sure is helpful to those of us starting out. I'm just starting out on a couple different projects, the...

    Scent drags?

    Anyone use scent drags with much success? I have a couple stands that are just a few yards off where they should be and I need to be able to pull a buck across into range. Thoughts? I know a few guys who swear by dragging scents, they say time after time deer cross the scent and follow it...

    Boat windshield protector?

    All this talk of broken windshields has me wondering if there are any good options out there for windshield protectors. I see Truxedo makes one as does a guy from MT. What do you guys use? This is for a 1900 Pro V if it matters....

    Looking for some guidance on trail camera purchases for this upcoming year. Looking to get 4-6 if possible for use in various locations. Some locations will be public ground so I don't want them to be that high end. Just a decent camera that takes decent photos. Any thoughts/advice on which...

    Boat Trailer Replacement Fenders

    Has anyone bought replacement fenders for their "average" Shorelandr trailer? I have the white ones with built in top and side steps and am in need of replacement. Shorelandr is a PITA to deal with and it seems like there are lots of similar options out there for a lower cost. But, nothing I...
