    Dog blind for field hunting?

    I kill quite a few geese each year too. I have never used a dog blind. Just another thing to conceal I guess which is hard enough with our blinds. What stands out most with blinds is profile. My dogs lay right next to my blind and I have a few dekes placed around them to break up outline. If...

    270 vs. 30-06

    .270 for me. Have read too many articles from "experts" saying .270 is probably best all around gun etc. With the right rounds they are fast and flat. That's what i like about them. Have 2 and have never had an issue killing deer or a bear. Going to use it on a cow elk in a month. I have...

    Dog proof coon traps

    I caught a whole family of baby skunks one time. Had several set in a well used coon area. That sucked! Full grown skunks aren't suppose to be able to reach in but baby ones are kind like ferrets. They slink in.

    Tundra Owners

    With the less weight it does get very good mileage as well. 22-23 while cruise set at 70. They are now 6 speeds and has about 60 more horse than my '11. Pulls my boat like a champ. So give and take I guess.

    Tundra Owners

    how is the body on the tundra? This summer I bought a '14 silverado. Had only 8k miles. Super nice pickup but...comes with 4 ply tires and the body is junk. The sheet metal spread so thin that any little bump will dent it.

    Kill a tiger to save a dog?

    they did the right thing...didn't seem to worried about the dog, more worried about kids and others coming out in the morning. Good decision.

    Appendix decided to put a kibosh on my hunting and fishing

    6 yrs ago I woke up with severe pain in side. Threw up, had fever etc. Went to ER. Told me I had the flu. So for the next 2-3 wks I had a low grade fever, pain and general feeling like sh!t. I finally went back to dr. Was a woman. She pushed around on stomach and didn't bother me so she...

    Fish mount or picture?

    I agree that mounting a fish...and I do mean on the wall, is in the eye of the beholder. I've never seen a rep that looked realistic or even good. By the way our local fisheries guy told me a few yrs ago that once the water temp is over 70 degrees walleye have an 80%mortality rate when released...

    Portable Graph Question

    I now own a 14 ft john boat. I would like to use some sort of portable graph for it. I do not want to put a full size battery in boat due to weight. What are you guys using? I thought about just using my Marcum ice package but then I'd have to rig the transducer somehow so it doesn't sway...

    Shooting feral cats (legal?)

    If your comment is not "bagging" me I don't know what is. I call that bagging. But..i don't care. Its a cat. I guess most farmers I know don't have much to do with cats. They are a part of the farm. Majority are not spayed/neutered or even given appropriate vaccinations. They are simply...

    Shooting feral cats (legal?)

    When we bought our first house we were doing some updating in and out. Had the wood chips around the house for landscaping. Caused those carpenter ants to live all around so pulled out the chips. While waiting for our new rocks to arrive the neighborhood cats (some feral some not) liked to...

    Dont buy Lund boats or from Vallely Marine

    I think one key factor is that I know and see many people who simply don't know how to run a boat. Or, like someone else says, daddy paid for it so they treat it like sh!t. I occasionally beach my boat to let kids out to swim or whatever. I find the sandiest spot I can and basically slowly...
