Hmmm I don’t see anything crappy about a bolt. Quite the contrary. Most semis to me a sorta second class junk in my eyes and I mean no disrespect to you by that. The bolts teach lots more about shooting than squeezing a trigger. It’s also safer unless you load one at a time initially. Now if you...
The cricket is a good option but at ten she might be about past that point. My brothers daughter finds it too small and she’s 10. Just wanna advise you be careful the store you use. The guys selling the guns are salesman. They’re gonna push you towards what they have so check a few before you decide
A goose is a good locator and I agree sometimes one of the best, I’ve used one since the 80s. It’s one many don’t talk about but shock gobbles seem to vary. When we had lots of birds around here almost any shock gobble got someone to answer. Many times they work, sometimes they dont and it...
Pic of the holster, you can see how it securely and quietly holds call. Have it with me all the time in different states, conditions. I’ve got lots longboxes so they vary but they all fit snugly/securely/quietly and the holster is decently thick leather and has not worn. It’s also got a belt...
Most vests have short box call pouches but a pack would be easy. I’m personally never carrying a short box. Longbox is every way better. I carry mine in the cargo/bird pouch in my vest using a leather holster made by Yoder. Perfect size and keeps box quiet. Sometimes I’ll strike far off birds...
Well your story is similar to mine. That’s why I talk about consideration. Everyone likes to say communication is the main thing. It’s not. It’s consideration. My kids will/have never experienced what I did cause I consider how it could affect them. Count it as a blessing you’ve changed. Now...
Just do the right thing by her all year and expect the same from her. Listen idk if you drink, drug or run around with strippers but if not she could do lots worse. Remember that. BOTH of you matter and have value
Staying single. My kids are grown n away now but they hunted w me. My ex did too. My new girl doesn’t freak about me being gone but straight up im considerate for sure and that’s key in any relationship and I’ll do whatever it takes off season. Peak rut, gobbling season. Don’t bug me. If I can...
I have a couple pairs of conquest HD, never used the EL but my brother has SLC that you mentioned earlier. I’ll be honest I’ll take the HD any day. To my eye they’re better. I’ll also say binos, cameras, scopes, gets to a point where you pay lots more for minimal improvement. Good review btw
My buddy Jimmy felt the same way and used that same spoiled word. Little Jimmy is a good kid, def spoiled by some peoples definition but he’s not spoiled. He expects nothing and appreciates everything. He’s in my mind fortunate… folks can help him. He just turned 18, he was saving for an over...
The kid showed desire and ability to do the right thing saving. Why not either help him with cash or loan a little to him on a payback plan. Sounds like a good kid. This might be a chance to reward or teach him something
Fellas I’m not sure what the op is using the collar for or if it’s even necessary. I run all year and find the 100 more than adequate but a few hours at a time is what I do. The op may be similar and it’ll be way cheaper not to use the newest
A Buckmark for sure or a Smith Revolver. Make sure it’s got some barrel whatever you buy.
A .22 is a good option and one I recommend for first handgun.
I worked for 2 bear camps and hunted Alberta a bit. To me it’s no question chocolate but it’s sorta like beagles. One guy calls em red n white, one guy the same dog lemon. Who really cares you did good. I’d shoot that one, real light not as quick which is funny cause I’d instantly shoot a decent...
