After a cancelled trip a couple years ago, we are headed to Islamorada in late April. Looks like we are staying in a bay side house for week. The family fishing crew is me and three guys in their twenties.
I'm thinking one day offshore charter (Mahi would be nice), one day backcountry, and one...
Over the last two weeks the home sausage factory was in full swing. I tried a few new things like cutting with brisket trimmings and a couple new blends. It was a pretty serious undertaking and some days felt like work, 8 plus hours. The results are quite pleasing.
First week was hanging and...
My son, Logan and I headed out to Wyoming last Friday for a long-anticipated elk hunt. After several years of buying points and missing draws he pulled a bull tag, his first ever. He should be very busy in the next couple years as he starts a new career. This was the year to make it happen. We...
The use of preferred pronouns has been brewing in my place of employment for the last few years. A few tags on emails and some discussions here and there, but nothing official. I've seen a surge of use lately from some higher ups and it appears policy decisions could be on the horizon.
I had a...

The recent death of a man while elk hunting got me thinking about a past incident I had. It's easy to dismiss the tragedy as people being idiots, uneducated, or hunting slobs. My story is a simple one, easily avoidable and never should have happened. I still have hard time thinking of how...
My favorite pair of hunting pants are my merino wool First Lite Kanab 2. I know they are prone to easy rips and wear, but this weekend I completely blew out the inseam and zipper stitch down one of the legs. It looks like the material is intact but a couple seams and stitching pulled out. Anyone...

Two days before the Archery opener and a week into the A-zone (southern Mendocino Forest) general season. Wow
Any battery experts out there? I need to replace my dedicated trolling motor battery for a Minnkota Terrova . My boat has a two battery set up with one 12V dedicated to the trolling motor and the other for starting and electronics. Most of the fishing I'm doing lately on the river utilizes the...
Anyone have experience with drones? I'm looking to get one around $500, maybe a bit more if there is a huge performance difference. My son (19 yr old) will be operating and is fairly experienced in photography. He has a Go Pro, not sure if it's best to utilize that camera or look for drone with...
Hey guys I put in for a 10 plus point unit this year with my son, that's all. It's 106 degrees here on my day off and I started drinking beer a tad early, just wanted to say Hey.
Trying to get some perspective on the current weather conditions and if it's having a heavy impact on big game herds in the Rockies. It was mid 60s here, yesterday I mowed the lawn and trimmed trees. Might take the boat out today. Like I said trying to get some perspective on how bad this Artic...
I have a new 280 AI that I plan to fire form brass and shoulder bump with FL sizer. I've been reading past posts and watching a few videos. My past reloading I just full length sized, removing the primer at same time. I'm now looking for more precision.
It seems most are suggesting to de cap...
I know this is a stressful time for some, but if Uncle Sam is giving every adult and child some cash...…..Let's hear some ideas:
Adult- Browning x-bolt in .280 AI
Child- 20 gauge Fiocchi autoloader
I bought a Caribou game bag kit that came with a very thin and light plastic sheet. Anyone know where to buy something similar? Ideally it would come already folded in a small package like the one in kit.
I've been kicking around the idea of a new rifle in .280 AI for a year or two. The Bergara Highlander checks most the boxes for production guns, but also considering CA Ridgeline and Kimber. I would like to stay around 2K, more than that and I will start looking for a builder. I know Viking Guy...
