    Pnuma?

    I have a Selkirk Jacket I bought about 3 years ago. I need tall sizes and it fits great, and seems to be of good quality. It is definitely a very heavy jacket that doesn't pack well. (And I normally don't care about weight at all.) I only looked into other options because of that. I still wear...

    Spotting scopes

    I'm underwhelmed with my Vortex Diamondback spotter. I'm not sure how they compare with others in that price range, but I wished I would have saved up and got something better. (Bet y'all never heard that before hahaha!)

    A 'what the --- moment'

    I'm not a fan of the SSTs. I couldn't ever get anything close to consistent in the 165 grain in my Ruger American .308 and I felt like they really lacked any punch on game in the 150 grain. At least the 150 grain would shoot ok though.

    duck hunting

    Unpopular opinion, but it works for me: Less is more when it comes to calling and decoys. I'd rather have fewer decoys (or sometimes none at all) if conditions are bad and they can possibly flare birds. I rarely throw out more than 18 decoys. Also, just get the basics down on calling, and just...

    Who's watching you?

    Your phones definitely listen to your conversations. To test this a friend of mine who only speaks english started listening to spanish radio all the time while he was in his truck. After a week or two his ads started showing up in spanish.

    Dry Ice and Coolers

    That's what I do. We may or may not have used dry ice and 2 liter coke bottles to blow mail boxes inside out as kids out in the country. I can neither confirm nor deny, but I can confirm that stuff can be pretty powerful when not ventilated properly hahaha.

    Stove Fuel Shortage?

    Hey guys, I've got a hunt coming up in a couple of weeks, and I'm trying to find some Isopro fuel or isobutane and propane mixed fuel for my MSR pocket rocket and everywhere is sold out. Is anyone else having issues with this? I think I might have a lead on some at a neighboring Walmart, but I...

    Fleeing California

    If anything Californians are good for its over paying for a house. We went under contract last week on our old house for $21k over asking price. Her initial offer was $16k over right out of the gate, and as soon as she found out we had any other offers (which weren't as high as her's) she upped...

    Best weather app

    Time to revive this thread... I'm having issues with weather underground loading properly. What other weather apps do y'all like?

    Choosing pack

    Glad I could help out. I love helping other people spend their money on sweet new gear. Try to keep this one. Haha!

    Choosing pack

    The Sawtooth 45 might be exactly what you're looking for. Slightly bigger (by almost 250 cubic inches) than the Pintler, and doesn't just open from the top.

    Fleeing California

    Austin is actually on the Colorado, not the Brazos, but Austin is already about as close to Cali as it can get. The Austin City Council just voted to defund the Austin PD by $150 million so.... P.S. we're already bracing for more with Tesla coming to town. We already have too many Californians.

    Backcountry reading material

    I love Elmer Kelton's western novels. He was a great writer in my opinion, and will give you plenty of options for the "ranching" category you're interested in.

    Looking for recommendations on duck calls.

    I prefer a single reed. I feel like it's easier for me to get a consistent sound, but you'll get a ton of different opinions. I love my RNT Original. My advice would be to get a couple of cheap calls in different style before you buy an expensive one. That way you'll know what you like better...

    Dove Decoys - yes or no

    I use both still and motion decoys here in TX. In my opinion both help to varying degrees. I've never seen them flair birds either.
