    Sunday Pic of the Day

    Went for a fishing trip but someone forgot to renew their fishing license and the online portal wasn’t working. So we enjoyed the day boating and checking out some new areas instead. Glad we didn’t have to explain that to a game warden who was putting a boat in the water as we were passing a...

    Where to you keep your tags before and during the hunt?

    I bought a book sack years ago that came with a removable name card thing. I’ve attached it on the inside of my hunting pack and it holds my license and tags. Couple years ago I lost my LA lifetime licenses. Ordered a new one then later found the old one. Which was convenient because now I can...

    Dove Decoys - yes or no

    Put the mojo on a stake about 15-20 yards in front of you. If doves are flying they will come to it. If it’s the only one in the field you’re sitting on a pile of gold. If there’s a few then field then you share the wealth.

    Eating Wild Critters, Safe or a Gamble?

    Is that higher incident of disease nearly eliminated when cooked well and handled safely? CWD for instances we can't cook hot enough to kill it. Are there other known diseases similar that might be present?

    The wood duck of squirrels

    I wouldn’t be mad about having that as an invasive to hunt.

    Who needs ratchet straps?

    I cuss every time I have to go behind my old man and replace his frayed baling twine attached in multiple sections with some good nylon trot line string.

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    My girl started her first cycle this week. It’ll be a little while before we spend another Sunday in the woods.

    Does this mean i can join the cool kids around the campfire now

    If you ain’t crocking you ain’t rocking! Summer time and/or early season in a dry area without briars I’ll even go full commando with crocs and socks. A few pigs have met their maker to a goofy looking redneck ninja slipping through the woods in crocs and socks. I don’t even know what else...

    What is "fair" chase?

    I thought this was an easier question to answer until I started typing my thoughts. Some things are obviously not fair chase (high fence hunting in North America). But some of the above things mentioned that people don’t consider fair I would disagree and say it depends. In general I think...

    Clean your freezer, find gold

    I have burned up google’s search engine just to figure out everything. Looks delicious though! Although where I’m from 1 meatball per bowl would be end up somewhere between Oliver Twist and Honey BooBoo. Most likely Honey Boo Boo

    Somking prior to cooking sounds like a good idea for next time.

    Shank Pasatalaya

    I like to save shanks but also like to hold on to them for too long. We butchered a steer last year and I still haven’t gotten around to eating these caveman pieces of meat yet. Finally decided to take advantage of working from the house and cook one yesterday. A little bit of an experiment for...

    Your Favorite Hand-Me-Down

    After my grandmother went into the nursing home with alzheimer’s, my mom and I went through a lot of her things. Found a lot of photos we never knew existed. We found this photo. I asked to keep the original, and made copies for my mom and uncles. Grampi died before I was born but I always...

    Physical Conditioning @ Home

    I really don’t have the patience to work out by myself. But I have started running a little adding weight to my pack and walking. 50 pounds and walking a couple miles. As of yesterday I’ve decided that when I train my dog for squirrels in the woods I’ll throw on my pack and two birds with one...

    Kentucky

    I can’t open the document to read it. Judging by @blueridge I’m assuming they’re not doing it? I know it’s a competitive tag, but I still throw my name in it because I spend $20 on stupider stuff. If it went to a point system there’s no way I’d keep making donations for it.

    Fin explains his Grouse Slooshing - Guest on another podcast

    I have always said that if you have to shoot a bird flying then you should shoot a deer running. Changes things a bit doesn’t it? Sadly evening in the hunting and fishing world where we like to have common ground many still hold their standards higher over others. Public vs private, bow vs gun...

    Sunday Pic of the Day

    Her legs were completely stained with mud prior to this picture. I often let her ride in the truck but after this trip it was a mandatory wash and dry off on the ride home in the kennel. She was still more concerned about hunting than cooling off.
