    Turkey Troubles

    Scouting and hunting the same places multiple times helps a lot. I've hunted turkeys in Montana, Idaho, and Utah, and in each place, the turkeys seemed to follow a bit of a pattern, sort of making a big loop throughout the day, and by evening, ending up somewhere close to where they started from...

    Turkey Troubles

    I'll offer a different perspective, perhaps. I don't get too hung up on calling birds to me. I have had much better success getting to the places the birds want to be and then doing a very small amount of calling as they make their way to where they were going anyway, especially early in the day...

    The official 2025 Wyoming elk hunt for Dave N thread.

    I started using hiking sticks 14 years ago. Never thought I needed something like that, but from the moment I started using them I was sold. Not sure how I even successfully navigate stairs without those things.

    Corner crossing the 10th ruling

    Anyone else wondering if there are plans to initiate cases like this in other circuits/states that aren't part of the 10th? Seems like that has been a legal strategy for other issues.

    In honor of my father

    I'm sorry you lost your father. Mine passed 20 years ago after his own battle with cancer. He was 59. I miss him just as much today as I did the day he passed. I am forever grateful for the many things he did for me, taught me, and for the example he set. He feels especially close when I am out...

    Office pants

    I work in a pretty formal environment and I switched from slacks to golf pants a few years ago. Still look good but waaaayy more comfortable. If I worked in a less formal setting I would go with something like Prana Zions or the Denali pants from Sam's Club. Comfortable and look decent, and...

    That makes sense. I hadn't thought about it that way.

    That stinks, Dave. Hope things settle down and you get feeling better. I don't blame you wanting to find other options besides surgery. Seems like when someone goes that route, it is a long recovery. Hang in there.

    Liam's first hunt

    This sounds just about perfect. Well done on several levels.

    I remember when:

    I remember getting out of my truck to put it in 4 wheel drive. I remember when nobody needed emotional support water bottles and nobody seemed to die from dehydration.

    Waterfowl, let’s see them!

    Nicely done! Always good to be adaptable and be willing to change to what will work vs what we want to work. Some good looking birds there.

    Waterfowl, let’s see them!

    Finished with my heaviest pintail of the year. A full pound heavier than my bird from yesterday. Had a much better season than I deserved with some really beautiful birds.

    Second to last day of the season. I made it out for an afternoon hunt. I'm pretty much just targeting pintails at this point. Thankfully, they have been cooperating. Fingers crossed for tomorrow.

    New Tikka Model

    Did I just miss it, or is there not a folding stock on this? Feels like a bit of a miss to me. I think that's one of the things they got right with the Sig Cross platform.
