    My arrow just hit a TWIG en route to the deer of a lifetime

    I was sneaking up on a doe years ago. I was in range and waiting for her to turn broadside when I saw something move up on the hill to my right. It was a big buck. I forgot about the doe and knelt behind a mulberry tree waiting for a shot at the buck. He sniffed around and chased the doe for...

    Drone thermal imaging

    Using technology doesn't make someone a shitty hunter. But it sure allows shitty hunters to reveal themselves for what they are.

    Who else has stopped helping people get/track points?

    Tracking points for friends? Who the hell has friends?

    Has Cabelas gone down hill?

    Cabelas began to go downhill when they became a publicly traded company. When Basspro bought them out they really went to crap. Now it's all just overpriced and/or low quality merchandise. How are things in Sydney Nebraska now?

    Loud Gun

    My kids have noise cancelling ear buds. One of the reasons I don't care for "youth" rifles is the shorter barrels that produce more noise.

    'Yotes: What to do with carcusses when pelts have little value?

    On my old farm I used to throw them out in the field in the winter so I could watch the eagles eat them. On other people's property I dump them in the brush or a ravine out of sight.

    How close to due dates do you hunt?

    I got back from a caribou hunt in Alaska about 2.5 weeks before my first was born. I enjoy a little danger in my life though.

    Crops and their Contents

    I cut open a turkey's gizzard one spring. Inside I was surprised to find that, instead of stones for grinding up his breakfast, he had a couple of hickory nuts.

    My first new vehicle

    My 2011 F150 (I bought it in 2013 with 30k on it) just turned 181,000, and has been the most reliable vehicle I've owned, though my wife's Toyota has been even better. I'll make my son a hell of a deal on it and he'll drive it for the next few years, at least until he's out of high school...

    My first new vehicle

    OK guys, Some of you, it seems, are new to the internet... If you're against the UAW there's no way you are going to convince the UAW backers that the union is corrupt and destructive of jobs. If you are for the UAW you aren't going to convince people against the UAW that the union is a...

    My first new vehicle

    Yes, I would have but the truck I wanted wasn't in stock anywhere. Couple that with the fact that sticker is over $4000 less for the new model than last year's model and it makes more sense to buy the 2024.

    My first new vehicle

    A UAW job put food on my table for many years so I really don't need the lecture.

    My first new vehicle

    As I understand it the strike (so far) doesn't effect the plants making trucks. Last I heard they were still in negotiations but that Ford was making progress with the union.

    My first new vehicle

    When I asked the dealer just shrugged. They said that it was taking 6-8 weeks but that was for the 2023's. Now they are shifting over to 2024 and that whole UAW bullshit that's going on now. I was honestly looking at Toyotas but they just don't make what I want.

    My first new vehicle

    Just an XLT, I wasn't hung up on the trim, I just needed a 4x4 supercrew with a V-8 and tow package. Went with "Atlas Blue".

    Thinking of switching from fixed blade to mechanical broadheads

    I won't argue that tuning is often the problem, especially with most modern broad heads. However, I doubt it's "99% of the time", especially when shooting larger 2 blade cut to tip broadheads with the short fletching that's so popular today.

    My first new vehicle

    I'm 51 years old and just put an order in for a new F150. I've always bought trucks that were a couple of years old and had a little bit of the warranty left on them. Used to be that you could get them for 25-35% less than new. That was a significant savings on vehicles that weren't even...

    Thinking of switching from fixed blade to mechanical broadheads

    If it aint broke don't fix it. The only reason I see to switch from a fixed blade to a mechanical is if you are having accuracy issues with fixed blade.

    How steep is too steep?

    Depends on what I'm hunting. If the dogs have something bayed up in the rocks you climb your ass up there and sort it out whether you want to or not.

    Yar-Craft?

    I can't speak to that particular model but I have two rules when buying used boats. 1-outboard motors only 2-no fiberglass
