    Ohio deer poaching (with update)

    The score will vary wildly on the point determination made on the left side G2/G3 situation. If it is deemed a "common base point" it will score much higher than if determined to be a "abnormal point" or "point-off-a-point". The same determination was what sank the King Buck from 218" to 180"...

    Finance app now that MINT is gone

    I just keep my stuff in an excel sheet and update it at least once a month. I tried all the apps and they were more trouble than they were worth IMO.

    Lost birds

    Gosh, I'm with you there. I think sea ducks wear body armor and have scuba gear stashed under the surface for when things get tough. I think next year I'm bringing a turkey gun with a red-dot, a tight choke, and #9 TSS in the boat for long range cripple recovery.

    regular credit card theft?

    When I used to use a debit card for all my daily transactions I was having my information stolen 2 or 3 times a year. In the 7-8 years since I switched to a credit card for daily transactions I have only had an issue once or twice. I did have a weird one the other day where I received a brand...

    I'm pretty sure at least a few of them were kids, adds another element of stupidity

    Boating & Hunting - Be safe

    What do you think of this one @Big Fin ? 7 people and 2 deer in a 16ft boat with an 15hp on the back. No life jackets to be seen, going down the river in December with the gunwhale just barely above water... the game warden at the boat ramp was less than pleased.

    gun safe in the garage

    Well she's up off the concrete floor about an inch and I've got a golden rod in there. There will be heat, cold, and humidity. I pulled the rifles out of there and swapped in some muzzleloaders as a test product. Will definitely look into Renaissance Wax and the like for long term...

    gun safe in the garage

    Reviving an old one here.... I've inherited some more guns and the world's heaviest safe. There is absolutely no way in hell this thing will come in my little farm house. It's actually a safe from a nuclear power company that's concrete and lead lined. I have an insulated, unheated garage it's...

    Sound Off - 100% Debt Free

    Looking about two years out to finish up student loans and car loans for me and my wife. We still rent, so at some point there will be a mortgage. Thankfully we pay next to nothing in rent so we've been saving for a house down payment, putting 25%+ towards retirement, paying everything else...

    Sabot Slugs vs Nilgai

    This is what we'll be working with. 100 yards from a sled fired in pretty rapid succession resulted in about a 4" group. I left it cool all the way down, and got it dialed in to 3" high which should be good for about 150 yards and down to about a 3" group. Will do some more playing around in a...

    Actual Weight of Meat - Can we be honest?

    Heaviest cow elk ever killed in my state was 684 lbs, number two was 667 lbs. They've weighed every harvest at a check station for the last 40 years or so

    Best Bang For The $ Hunt Of A Lifetime?

    We managed a moose and a bear for $9125 in 2019 in Newfoundland door-to-door. If you are honest when you add up all the expenses, it'd be impossible to do two moose for under $10k in 2024. Closer to $15-18k is more realistic, but I guess I could imagine it sqeaking in around $12k if you keep the...

    Sabot Slugs vs Nilgai

    Man, didn't know that was in the cards! I'll keep my head on a swivel. Any advice on where to find the Nilgai and how to hunt them? Sitting vs still hunting? Brush vs open country?

    Best Bang For The $ Hunt Of A Lifetime?

    The two hunts for two that I'd call the hunts of a lifetime that we've done under $10k, all inclusive of travel, guide, rental cars, luggage fees, etc. were Hawaii axis deer/goat/hog and Newfoundland moose and bear

    Sabot Slugs vs Nilgai

    The whole trip including flights, 6 nights lodging, rental truck, permits, and licenses is about $1100. My wife and I were talking about a fishing charter when we're on vacation in Florida next year, we decided to forego that charter and do the nilgai hunt instead as the cost was about the...
