Man. The only thing I hate more than dialing loads for a new Muzzleloader is cleaning a Muzzleloader. Blackhorn has changed the game as far as that goes, but these things can be so finicky it's not a process I really enjoy.
Glad you've found time to put the work in and look forward to seeing...
Man, I sure enjoy reading your posts. Great job as always and thanks for taking us along for another adventure. Beautiful country and heck of some bucks. Well done!
I appreciate the feedback. I'm not locked into the Milwuakee area for hunting and am looking across the state for opportunities. I sit in a treestsand or saddle for just about all of my deer hunting since we can only see about 50 yards most of the time. It's thick and loud round these parts...
Just learned I'm going to be in Milwuakee Oct. 30-Nov. 2. Bummed a little because I have a pretty sweet deer hunt here at home in Florida that week, but got to thinking about extending my trip for a few days in the Wisconsin Deer woods to make up for it.
It seems like that's the early rut...
I did something very similar and it works great. Although, my intention was not necessarilu to keep bears away but, rather, create a "feed tree" that the deer didnt recognize as a man made feeder. Hung mine 25' in the air between two pine trees and bought an auger style feeder that dispenses...
I've been burned more times than I care to admit by taxidermists. Perhaps it's because I know how much work goes into what they do that I'm too understanding and have been screwed because of it.
Stay on him. The "ghost" treatment he's giving you is a red flag. I've seen good ones go south REAL...
Looking for hand me down youth size hunting apparel for my 7 year old son. He'll be hunting elk with me in late September again this year and I hope to avoid buying new since he'll grow out of it before next year.
Primary items I'm looking for are base layers, warm/puffy jacket, hoodies, rain...
What I'm gathering is that you are a collector of inreach devices when there is a potential fire sale. Case in point, you're interested in a third Inreach purchase for the year. Obviously, the benefit is highly skewed in your favor otherwise you wouldn't want to "bite" on yet another inreach...
Damn, you should have bought that one. Someone stole it.
I'll keep it before I drop the price to $200. If someone wants to do their own research on what these units (Garmin Inreach Explorer+) are selling for on the used market, and make me a reasonable offer, please feel free to PM me.
Man, this thread sure spiraled. Perhaps I overcomplicated the paracord, but my perception has always been that it's bulky and heavier than it needs to be given my intended use case.
You all do you. I'll do me and keep killing the crap out of things and refining my approach to find ways to get...
My sleep system is great. 0 degree down bag, insulated pad, etc. I'm great in it all night.
We were just spoiling ourselves by alternating shifts to keep it going. It's not a sustainable practice, but was a nice novelty that we enjoyed.
All that said, I do wish to continue the practice of...
When we got home I burned a real hot fire through it with oak and it cleaned it right up. A little bit of scrubbing was necessary, but not much really.
Honestly, we were being spoiled keeping it burning all night. When your from Florida, cold has a way of seeping into your pores. We spent...
First trip with a titanium stove in a tipi on a late season hunt. We had built nice fires for several nights in an area with lots of usable oak and mixed in some pine too. I never gave it much thought. We would keep it going through the night in single digit temps by rotating wakeup duties...
