    Custom Made knife

    Greg Metz knives. He is a little harder to get ahold of living off the grid on the Salmon River in Idaho but well worth it

    Waders that don't suck?

    I bought my USIA waders for fishing and warm weather hunting. Mine are uninsulated boots. I like them but they sweat like mad—definitely not breathable. On the other hand they have not leaked in three years. They tend to make a little more noise walking than my neoprenes that I use in cold...

    Have you ever NOT felt like hunting?

    The older I get I realize that hunting has more aspects to it than pursuit and success. Like Highwildfree my old partners that goaded me to leave at 3 AM and push all the limits have moved away. If I get motivated to get out in the woods by myself I still love it and feel alive with senses that...

    Whiskey

    Depends on which part of the menu. I prefer bourbons to whiskeys. The nuttier tones of Jim Beam Black suits my pallet much better than the Carmel tones of a whisky although Pendleton will do with enough ice. I like the mellower tones of say a Jameson’s Irish Whisky to a scotch. I could...

    Fishing Boats

    I agree! New motors are really expensive and the referenced ones are great. Another thing that is important to me is a welded boat vs. riveted. I trailer on a lot of rough roads and rivets will get knocked loose eventually. Big boats are great for big water but they also get caught by wind...

    What are you currently reading?

    Just read Yellowstone and the Biology of Time. Very cool comparative photography over a 100+ years.

    What happened to the political joke thread?

    Me too! It’s been a habit every night for the last year. I might have to get something done in the shop or practice with the bow!

    Recreational Shooting - Ethics question

    Exactly! When did leaving empty shells and broken clays on public land become recreational shooting and not littering?

    Where to try on boots?

    For a “buy it for life boot”, save your dollars for a while and then spring for a pair of Russel Moccasins. I’ve had my Sheep Hunters for 13 years and am on the second set of soles. Well worth it, especially with hard to fit feet. Good luck!

    26 days

    I’ve been thinking about a couple bills: 1) Need a bill passed to prohibit contract abuse from fake shutdowns where people are forced to work with no pay. If you don’t fund it then it gets shut down until it does. If you don’t fund the Coast Guard then you tread water until you do. Get the...

    Rest Easy Tahoe

    Wow that’s tough with a young dog. Cherish those memories you have of him. You’ll find yourself smiling some day down the road when something reminds you of his quirks or special traits. Each one of them is different and special. Take good care.

    Hanging goose. To gut or not to gut?

    Hanging with the feathers keeps it from drying out. My dad says that his grandfather would hang them until the head came off. I like the 3-7 day plan a little better! Hank agrees that guts need to come out of the geese to get the heat down. I got some really muscular Westerns a couple years ago...

    Invasive Mtn Goats in GTNP have to go

    Indeed in the case of Olympic National Park, the non native goats have an affinity for over eating a few particular plants that only grow in a few ridges in the park. The goats were transplanted to the park decades ago by a sportsman’s group in trade for Roosevelt Elk, but the impact on native...

    Invasive Mtn Goats in GTNP have to go

    Olympic National Park in WA tried to deal with non native mountain goats 30 ish years ago by live trapping. They got a bunch out but couldn’t get the rest without lethal methods and they were shut down by congress to prohibit shooting them in the national park. They have since repopulated and...
