    Welcome! Chasing a desert turkey sounds like fun.

    Mobile tagging/reporting

    True, but it’s also harder to lose. I’ve never lost my phone, but bits of paper? I know better than to expect I’ll keep track of those.

    Mobile tagging/reporting

    I like the e-tagging in OR. It’s super easy to use, and even works when not in service range.

    Camo pant suggestions

    As long as it’s rip stop fabric, you shouldn’t have much trouble with tears. At least they won’t tear very much of/when they do.

    Thanksgiving food prep thread

    Your pies look better than mine. This sucker is hideous. It’ll be cut into bars tomorrow, so it won’t matter too much I guess. I also made a load of whole wheat bread. That’ll be chopped up, too, to be dipped in fondue as an appetizer while the main course finishes up.

    Kenetrek Boots 20-50% off until November 30, 2024

    In the market for new boots, figure buy once cry once. My main issue is waterproof-ness (if that’s a word). I need a boot that I can trek through wet ground cover and pouring rain and still stay dry. Better yet if they can cross a stream and stay dry. Any suggestions on the best model for that...

    On midwestern ground - A Great Depression buck - intro to hunting blinds - A reminder hunting blind - Into the mist - remnant trout - uncertain future

    Congrats on the buck, and on a hunt well worth remembering! Neat to have that family connection to the land. My relatives had sold off the family farm generations before I came along. About that blind, I’m curious what others think about that set up. This is meant more as a hypothetical but...

    Binos that work with glasses

    I know many here spend far beyond that, but the amount that a lot people here spend on just about everything is ludicrous to me hahaha.

    Binos that work with glasses

    Hmmm, that’s good to know. Trouble is I don’t think 8x will cut it. Sometimes I feel like 10x is even a little low for the level of detail I’m trying to pick out. I like the Maven C.3, as it has a 19.5mm eye relief, which is the longest I’ve found yet for some decent glass…and it’s in my budget...

    Binos that work with glasses

    Those are pretty rad, but there’s absolutely no way I can justify spending $900+ on binos.

    Binos that work with glasses

    You are correct, I’d like to upgrade from my vortex crossfire HD to something better, but if I’m plunking down the cash, I’d like them to work better for my eyes as well. I’d say max budget in the $500 range, but would like stay under $400. Maven is one manufacturer I’ve been very interested...

    You’re braver than I. Hope it all goes well!

    Binos that work with glasses

    NGL, I’ve very seriously considered getting lasik to get out of this pickle…but I like having the added eye protection of wearing glasses. I’ve had too many sharp tree branches come scarily close to my eyes while hunting dense reprod to give it up. That, and someone slicing into my eye and...

    Binos that work with glasses

    Hey All, Well, the seasons pretty much wrapped up and after using the equipment I’ve got for a few years some things are due for an upgrade, binos being one of them. My issue is that I wear eye glasses, and I have yet to find a set binos that gives a proper sight picture with them on. This...

    Wild vs planted pheasants, wow....

    I’ve only ever done 1 solo farmed pheasant hunt and it was…ok. Felt too staged for my liking. That wild hunt sounds like a great time, though!

    Replacing stacked leather knife handle?

    Hadn’t thought about that. I suppose I could try the hidden tang method and pin it through that hole. If nothing else, I like having a built in contingency plan.

    Replacing stacked leather knife handle?

    No, I don’t have a welder or angle grinder :/ I do have a punch set and a hammer, though. I foubd this video, as far as I can tell it’s the same knife. Looked like they just used a punch to knock the tang out of the butt cap. Would that work, or is there something I don’t know that they did first?

    Replacing stacked leather knife handle?

    Thanks for the pointers! Figure IF I do it myself, I’d use wood rather than leather, then just slowly rasp it into shape. As nice as the leather looks and feels, I just watched a video of someone doing it, and it looks like a right PITA.

    Replacing stacked leather knife handle?

    That’s what I’m hoping to do. Trouble is I can’t figure out how to get the dang pommel off.

    Replacing stacked leather knife handle?

    I’m not married to the idea of a leather replacement, any material would be ok with me. Antler would be rad, but I imagine that comes with its own list of difficulties to work it.
