    Hearing Protection

    I believe an HSA would cover the cost of the hearing protection, but I think it requires a note from a doctor (Letter of Medical Necessity). Don't think that would be hard to get, but not sure where one would present such letter either. hearing Aids I believe would be a qualified HSA Expense.

    Hearing Protection

    I'm hoping that with the in ear ones, the will sit far enough inside the ear that when I put a beanie on it will block some of the wind without the rustling against the microphone.

    Hearing Protection

    That is my biggest concern. Picking one over the other and then being bothered by the constant wind noise and wondering if the other ones would have faired better. But then again, I have been putting up with the wind noise with the walker razors already. I'm just not one that can...

    Hearing Protection

    I know there have been a couple of threads regarding hearing protection, but I wanted to get some feedback from anyone that has used any of the custom molded in-ear hearing enhancing and suppressing ear buds. I've been trying to be dilegent about wearing my Walker Razor Slim ear muffs, but they...

    Rural New Home Build—School Me Up

    Understand the soils in the area. Building on bad soils with out the proper preparation and foundation system will be a costly mistake that won't be noticed until a few years down the road.

    Hunting ducks in a pandemic

    I'm thinking there will be a few more juvies that make it south of the border this fall. Gotta like those easily decoyed birds.

    Help me pick a tent

    I've got a big agnes Big House 6 with the vestibule attachemet. It works good, But I think most tents will. I would only add that I wouldn't go with anything less than a 6 man tent for your intended purposes. The ones with an interior divider wall would also be high on my list if hunting with...

    NEW HOUSE COSTS

    Depending on how you detail the framing at the top of the ICF wall. If you set the edge of the sill plate flush with the face of insulation, and then set bearing studs on that you will spilt that plate and then split the studs. They make a tapper top block that tappers the insulation down from...

    Just don't hang your sill plate over the insulation. That's asking for trouble.

    Training steps

    Step 1: don't overdo the obedience side of things especially when it comes to the actual field work. Keep their attitude and enthusiasm up. Its a heck of alot easier to rein in a dog that LOVES to work, than to build up a dog that has been taught to heel and sit to the point that it has lost...

    Alaska Vacation

    I'd spend some time on the Kenai Peninsula, fish out of either Seward or Homer. Then make the trek up to Denali. Denali is one of my favorite places on the planet. I'm not sure there is as much to see in Fairbanks as other places. If I were to spend two weeks in AK, it would be spent between...

    Best all-around

    Golden Retrievers. They retrieve gold! Great hunters for both upland and waterfowl. Real similar waterfowl hunters to a lab, but I think they are generally better upland hunters than labs are. And I prefer the golden over the lab around the house. I've owned both, but will have guldens...

    Bird dog questions

    I'm not familiar with the Brittany spaniels, but I would research the genetic afflictions that can be found in the breed and ensure that both parents have been screened for them.

    Bird dog questions

    Health clearances first and foremost. Then I look at performance, do they hunt their dogs, do they run any of the AKC or HRC games, do they have tittles that would show their level of trainability. Everyone has the best hunting dog in the world if you ask them. The Hunt Test and Field Trial...
