    Insert Installation Tips?

    I use two part epoxy from Easton. I’ve found that slower cure time usually equals stronger bond. It takes a long time to set up and 24 hours to cure. Plenty of time to index your broad heads. However, if I may, if your broadheads are steering your arrows that much, you may need some tuning...

    Need excellent quality hunting clothes?

    The Sitka Incinerators are the warmest thing I’ve ever worn. I loaned them to a buddy for a cold weather hunt. He said “putting them on is like going inside.”

    Appreciation for schmalts at Predator Optics

    Hey all, just wanted to share my really positive experience working with schmalts (aka Pat aka Predator Optics). I’ve read the positive reviews and since I was in the market for a scope, I reached out. His response was near immediate and provided me pricing on four models. I landed on the...

    Well, it's not good. Not religious but prayers are welcomed.

    I’m so sorry. Praying for you and the family.

    Field to Table - A Turkey Tale

    Tennessee turns out to be a grind. Between four hunters over two days we hear exactly one gobbling bird. For the second year in a row, we drive back empty handed and pretty exhausted but still happy to be out hunting. I also have a cooler full of turkey meat and I have a recipe I’ve been...

    Field to Table - A Turkey Tale

    I look down at my watch. It’s 12:53PM! I had already started packing up a bit. I am solo so I had to get creative with the field photos but they turned out ok. I realize when I picked him up that his spurs are not only long but extremely sharp. His beard is beautiful and he’s extremely heavy...

    Field to Table - A Turkey Tale

    I don’t dare turn my head but I strain my eyes far to the right and staring dead at me is a bright red head and a dark body. But the grass is tall and I can’t see a beard. While I briefly internally debate if I’d be ok shooting a Jake, he hits the same low spot the hen did moments earlier. I...

    Field to Table - A Turkey Tale

    The way our property lays out you can sneak around, call, and glass fields very effectively. So that’s what I do. Again, I’d love a happy ending but a 3 mile loop in 80 degree weather and two hours later I am back at my truck. The blind I spent the better part of the morning in is 800 yards...

    Field to Table - A Turkey Tale

    4:30 comes early. Particularly when you don’t sleep well. But I was excited. My first morning turkey hunt of 2024! As I brewed some coffee I couldn’t help but to hope for a gobblefest. Since the evening hunt gave me no actionable intel, I decided a blind on a bluff in a historically good...

    Field to Table - A Turkey Tale

    Fall 2023 was a dream season, but spring of 2023 was rough. I went 0-3 on turkeys in three states. I set out with a dream to make 2024 start out great as I bought Indiana and Tennessee tags (again). Unfortunately (sort of), I was out of the country on a family vacation during the Indiana...

    Gettysburg

    I’m a government man and went trough my agency’s “leadership institute.” I spent a couple days on Civil War battlefields with a world-renowned Civil War historian and author. Gettysburg and Antietam were both days that have and will influence the rest of my life. To the OP, strongly encourage...

    Spice blends

    Also, another vote for make your own. You can buy bulk (1lb) bags of spices (I like Frontier) on Amazon for a fraction of the cost of the little store bought bottles. Get some Redmond Real Salt or a good Himalayan Red Salt and you are waaaaay ahead of the curve. My wife has a cookbook that...

    Spice blends

    You live close to or ever travel by a Bucc’ees? They have a solid spice selection. Also my local Ace Hardware stores have an even more impressive display. Not sure if either are options for you.

    Favorite turkey calls

    I imagine it doesn’t matter as much to the turkeys as it does to me, but to my ears I have always felt like a pot/friction call can sound most like a bird. At that, I have really been really impressed with my newer copper pot combined with a laminated striker.

    Weekend Libations

    Pendleton Whiskey, a company founded in 2003 to celebrate the American cowboy. Distilled and aged in Canada, imported to Oregon where it’s cut and bottled in Hood River, Oregon. Although it’s about 20% American and 1% Cowboy, it’s still about 100% awesome. Also I’m sure it goes without...
