    Lasik

    I had the ghostings, halos, double vision, etc after getting LASIK some 12 (?) years ago. Pretty much everything bad that could happen, I had at least a little introduction to. All but the dry eyes have gotten better with time. Now I need readers and take Xiidra for dry eyes, but I would do...

    Neg Reps.

    While that's funny as all get out...it also has provided minutes worth of Grade A entertainment.

    Look, we're deplorables. Get it right, damnit!

    Water Hammer; what’s the fix

    Water Hammer is technically a problem of momentum. As water moves through a pipe and whatever valve that's on the other end of the pipe shuts off quickly (electric valves are notorious for this), the water that is moving is still carrying momentum, hence the "hammer" effect. The solutions to...

    .243 for Mule Deer?

    That is correct. I watched a fella shoot a WT doe with a 300 win mag one time, maybe 250 yds. With the wind and all, we didn't hear the bullet hit and she just stood there for a few seconds before trotting over a hill. We found her about an hour later, had a damn hole in the far side with her...

    Just curious what those who have been are seeing for water temps on Sak, and where those temps were observed. Thanks!

    Non Prescription Glasses While Hunting

    Yes, I have had glasses for most of my life. I had LASIK surgery some 12 years ago and still wear some form of windshield on my eyes. Mostly in the form of sunglasses, but nowadays I also wear readers. About the only time I go without is on cloudy days with no wind. The wind on my eyes is...

    BRAVING the MN Deer woods this weekend!

    You notice the snowmobile stats? I was absolutely floored when I started to pay attention to their lack of care in riding sleds. I remember one winter in the 90s where they had well over 20 fatalities. Good to see they have tamed that down a bit. I took a quick gander and the number seems to...

    BRAVING the MN Deer woods this weekend!

    Yep, as Ghost has noted. You stroll through the woods and when you hear a noise, you open up in the general direction of the "sound". Then you go look to see if you drew blood. It is the most effed up thing I've ever heard of for a generally accepted hunting practice.

    BRAVING the MN Deer woods this weekend!

    Wait...what?!?!? Why? I mean, I know you've traveled the world in service of our country, but there comes a time when a person is just putting himself in the line of fire once too often. My suggestion, stay out of trees. About half of the guys that get shot over there are sitting in trees...

    Why didn't I think of this!

    A whopping 6 ft of cable. What the hell boat has only 6 ft from the console to transom in the path the cable would have to be laid?

    'sconi pheasant hunter gets nose stitches

    He was just serving notice of his intolerance for lazy hunting partners. Quite the incentive program he's got going on.

    Field dressing a deer

    ND once published something on the meats that constituted wanton waste. If I remember correctly, if you left any of the quarters or backstraps behind it was a clear violation of wanton waste. I think the clarification stemmed from a guy who shot an elk in the Killdeer Mountains and promptly...

    Unexpected "Icks"

    Forgetting to "kick the can" for the elevated outhouse we had while in Thailand before making a deposit of yesterday's mystery meat. I'm telling you, you will only forget ONCE! Those damn Thai flies are big enough to move your balls out of the way in their escape as you drop a load into the...

    Unexpected "Icks"

    Putting away the loaf of bread you just used to make a sammich only to see the green through the bag. After said sammich was already gone. It seemed a little peppery for peanut butter.

    243 or 308 "reduced recoil" for youth

    I picked up a Tikka T3 lite in 243 this year because I have a bunch of new shooters coming up over the next few years. The 11 year old that shot his deer with it this year really enjoyed shooting it compared to his POS 20 gauge Mossberg. It also has an adjustable (extension on butt) that makes...

    There off

    You feed apples to pheasants? I know my chickens will eat them. Then again, they'll eat anything.
