    Awesome hunters

    Gotta go with Papa Bear. He wasn't one to trophy hunt, used what he made, self made his legacy. But Fred always said that his brown bear guide, Ed Bilderback, was a superior outdoorsman and archer. Now if I could go spend some time in the Alaskan wild with Mr. Bilderback.... that would be cool.

    Shooting from the seated position using field aids

    Before I had a proper framed pack I practiced sitting and using the sling as per Jack O'Connors directions in his books. Spent a summer walking the hay field in Mid Ohio shooting ground hogs with my .270 and got really good at sitting quick, wrapping in the sling, settle and squeeze. That...

    Diesel programmers and exhaust

    I ran a H&S tuner on my 6.4 liter diesel back in 2008-2013. We were pulling a 13,000 empty fifth wheel. I deleted the DPF, ran a S&B cold air intake and the H&S. Mileage went from 11-12 while pulling the fiver to 12-13. Basically all it did was eliminate the DPF regen which burned an extra...

    Just how important is camo to spot-n-stalk western rifle hunting?

    Oh man... so what you are saying my 1998 Mossy Oak colored Cabelas Saddle cloth bowhunting jacket that I have been wearing every season since is NOT the reason I am successful when I get to punch a tag? Ha Ha crap... I only have two more still in the plastic packaging that I bought on...

    Long wait time to see dealer?

    Hey guys. I have been in automotive for over 30 years with the last 20 years on the manufacture side ( Volvo, Harley Davidson,Nissan,Audi). Here in Chicago for the last 8 years my district has never seen more than 4 days wait as an average to "book" an appointment ( Audi). Since January of...

    He bit the hand that feeds him. 🤬

    So a little bit different situation as our dog was a rescue so we didn't raise him from a pup. He was obviously abused as he disliked men and if I had a broom, golf club, snow shovel, fishing pole, etc.. .in my hand he would cower in a corner. But he loved my wife and I and never showed any...

    9/11/2001 - Where were you?

    I was 27. 3 months into a new job as a factory rep for Volvo Cars. Driving a S80 Executive from Toledo Oh to Ann Arbor Michigan to visit Sesi Volvo. Rolling Stoves CD in the CD player and when I passed Detroit International Airport it seemed weird that there were no planes in the sky. Kept...

    Wearing Contacts in the Backcountry?

    Back before Lasik I used to carry a washcloth and a small travel sized bar of ivory soap. I would just wash my hands at night before taking them out. Now this was back in the mid-late 90's so contacts have probably advanced since then.

    Best new 3/4 ton gasser?

    So I have had a 2003 F250 with a 7.3, a 2008 with the 6.4 and in 2013 I ordered a 6.2 with the 4.30 rear end as we owned a 13,500 pound fiver. I was done with all the fuel filter changes, the DPF regens ( I did delete the 6.4 but it was a pain to go back to stock for warranty work) so I went...

    How important is it to you to own a Handgun?/ Tangent CAR THREAD

    I am not sure I could live without one. All the times I have spent shooting cans, bowling pins, etc... with family members no longer living, my daughters, and hopefully grandkids someday... There is just something about seeing a kids face when they squeeze the Ruger Single Six off and knock...

    8yr starting out shooting

    Yeah I started my two oldest with iron sighted BB guns. Then we went up to the iron sighted 22, then to the peep sighted 22 hornet. The human eye/brain wants to center the front bead in the rear peep naturally and it was a great way to transition to the scope on their .243.

    Imo one of the most important bird dog commands

    Yeah this... So it has been a while ( 13 years) since my Buck went to the happy hunting grounds but I trained him from 7 weeks old and when he was 8 months old he was pretty much finished. Whistle/hand/blind/boat/quartering/retrieve, etc.. .everything. But I made it a point to instruct anyone...

    Mom and Pop find in 243 win.

    According to rumor the 95 gr Ballistic Tip was made with a thicker jacket because a Nosler Executive at the time had a shoulder injury and still was an elk junkie and wanted to keep hunting but needed less recoil. I have seen what that bullet does on 200 pound whitetails and it is impressive...

    sleep aids

    kind of off the wall but a set of ear plugs works wonders to drown out any noise ( partners that cut wood all night... wind through the trees, bugling elk). If noise isn't the issue than nothing I say will help. Never had a problem except maybe the first night being so excited.
