    I appreciate the respectful spirit here

    Yep, I remember when I first started reloading and asked questions on a few forums and got hit with a flamethrower, but here everyone was cordial and excited to help a new guy out. Also they can politely tell you when you’re heading down the wrong path and correct you without attacking. Most...

    Never give up

    This guy passed me on I77 in Wv. His skid steer hunting mobility “scooter” riding on the back of his lifted 4x4 Econoline 250. I hope he’s close by when it’s time to drag my deer

    Vortex customer service

    Yep, I called about a viper that wouldn’t focus after i dropped the rifle, they sent a return label and I was fully expecting to receive a quote for repair, but they said the tube was dented and were sending me a new scope. They guy said they’ve had people drop them from tree stands and back...

    Venison cold cuts

    Her plan is cold sandwiches and French dips, but I’m thinking open faced sandwich with mashed taters and gravy on Texas toast, or maybe even steak and cheese hoagies.

    Venison cold cuts

    My daughter killed a doe last week and wanted one of the roasts made into cold cuts for sandwiches. (French dips) I used pit boss prime beef rub and injected it with beef consume to keep it juicy. Took it to 140*, still pretty pink inside. Smoked at 225* using equal parts apple, and mesquite...

    2024 Hunting Season

    These are still very much alive, for now. Brats tore down the deer feeder and hoovered up 50 lbs of protein pellets.

    article on scent control

    I think you’ll never completely hide your scent. But minimizing it by following a good scent control could make it diffuse faster and not ride the wind as far. But I’m no stinkologist, or whatever an odor expert is called. Around here playing the wind is tough, it just swirls all different...

    article on scent control

    Thanks for sharing. Several months ago I registered my trail cam warranty at wild game innovations and checked a box to test products. I forgot about it then a month or so later they sent me an ion generator to test. I’ve only used it twice, but last week I had a bear do a complete 360 around me...

    Cool bobcat pic

    Got this neat pic of a bobcat on trail cam walking with a fox squirrel in its mouth.

    Grouse Galore!

    Very nice. I can’t remember the last time I jumped a grouse. Never intentionally hunted them, but used to bump them all the time.

    Osage copper call

    One heading to Illinois. A copper over glass set in Osage orange. Really like the red swirls in this piece.

    Lost in the Woods

    I just hang a trail cam, somebody will be along shortly to steal it, then just follow them out.

    Seating depth value

    I usually start around 20 off, but I've found that cup and core bullets tend to like less jump while bonded and monos like a good jump and usually settle around .100 off. Although I'll never have hunting rounds closer than .010

    Lyman Gen 6

    That’s the truth 😏 but a gentle reminder to myself helps 😉

    Lyman Gen 6

    What I do for my rifles where top accuracy is the goal, and not bulk for like my 223 loads, is set it to dispense the charge 1/10 shy and trickle up on the beam scale. But it’s probably not necessary because if I set the trickled charge back on the gen 6, it usually reads the charge spot on.

    2 things you always carry in the woods

    Always have the usual survival and navigating stuff but a few hard lessons have convinced me to always have a backup light, usually just a tiny pen light. I once out night fishing and my headlamp died so I had to get comfy and wait 5 hours for sunrise to see my way back to the truck. Also I keep...
