    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...

    I vote: Rose-Colored Glasses Regrettably, it is when idiots meet that the bad news of the day makes headlines. And there are usually a few idiots on each side of a proverbial coin.

    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.

    Turtle Mountain Rez Scandal

    While a lot of flags were flying there, a flag in and of itself doesn't mean they officially supported the cause. Didn't know about the letters of support from TMBC, from the council itself?

    Good stuff

    R.E. The six month thing suggests that some of the penalty has been suspended. If he gets another violation in that timeframe, the suspended part of the penalty for this violation gets enforced.

    Pointers

    I have a Garmin Alpha collar. It has the GPS built into it for tracking your dog. When in cattails and other really tall stuff, I used to get nervous as hell about the dog getting lost when I couldn't hear them rustling through the weeds. I no longer have that in the back of my mind and it's...

    Deer tag system changes

    I don't worry about this as much as some of the rest around here. Truth is, when I started to hunt deer with a rifle in the early 80s, not everyone (including us young'uns) drew tags. And here I am, some 37 years later...still looking forward to deer season. If you're going to lose that...

    ATV Windshield

    I cratered my Honda Pioneer (UTV) windshield last summer whilst pulling it at something near the speed limit on the interstate. Those Plexiglas things can certainly crater when it's hot with about a 90'ish mph wind.
