    Birds are game too

    Another year is in the books. Not quite as good as last year, but I was able to get out a bunch this year which is no easy feat with two small kids at home.

    Shot my first redhead in Montana this year. Also got my first Canvasback. They are a cool looking bird.

    2019 Breaks Sheep hunt

    I've busted (3) Throttles on my boat in similar conditions. I've learned to disconnect the reverse bucket from the throttle assembly and wire the gate up. That way the only thing the throttle assembly does is run the throttle. No freezing issues with that. Its a little inconvenient running...

    Why Leave Alaska

    I spent 5 years in Fairbanks right out of college. I loved it, but It is definitely an isolated state. Eventually my ties to the lower 48 won out and i was back in Montana. Don't regret moving back at all, but i do miss some of what the Alaska life had to offer. It tripped me out my first...

    Solo waterfowl hunting in a kayak or canoe?

    As far as camo'ing it up. I've never done much. Just bought a camo netting that I can throw over it, and pull in to the weeds a bit. I either sit on the bow of it once it parked in the weeds and covered with netting, or stash it and hunt away from it. So typically, how far of a paddle...

    Solo waterfowl hunting in a kayak or canoe?

    I've used a Hobie Outback kayak for duck hunting with good success. Stick a dozed decoys inside the hull. Blind bag on the back, and the dog stands up front. Never felt un-stable, but my dog is pretty calm and we paddle a bunch in the summer as well. I also use a Coleman Ram-x Scanoe. It is...

    Birds are game too

    We had a pretty good goose hunt just before Christmas. I have spent most of my free time chasing waterfowl this year. First year in a long time that I didn't put much effort into the big game species, but I had a blast this year.

    Retirement and 401k strategies

    Yes it is possible to rollover a 401k from a previous employer to a personal IRA/Roth IRA. To move it to a roth you would have to pay the taxes on any traditional money that you would want converted to Roth. Roth 401K to Roth IRA is a simple Rollover.

    Retirement and 401k strategies

    Also need to account for the fact that those $8 Pre-Tax contribution is equal to $8 of earnings. Whereas those 8$ of Post tax contributions cost you $12 of earnings. Numbers do matter, and simple math does not equate to accurate math. respectfully, Technical Engineer And I see Vickings Guy...

    Where to invest: tent or bag?

    I've been using the same $100, 2-man Kelty tent for the past 20 years. A college roommate of mine bought it and set it up in the yard, then 20 minutes later my 4-mo old golden retreiver puppy crawled in through the front door and went out the back through the mesh vent. I've owned it ever...

    Safe boating on Fort Peck/ Missouri River question

    I've used a 16ft modified V jon-boat with a 60hp jet on Ft. Peck and the River. It definately can get dicey in the wind, but at 15 mph I would still proceed with the hunt. Its good to stay next to the shore, but It can add MILES to your travel if you don't cut across the little inlets. If you...

    Waders that don't suck?

    I picked up a $90 pair of 3mm neoprene off of camofire in october 2016. Just now starting to look around for waders again as they have finally started to develop a slow leak. I got 3 full seasons out of them, and I'm going to shoo-goo them and hope they hold out the remainder of the fourth...

    2009 to 2014 F150's

    I bought a used 2013 F-150 Eco 3 years ago with 90,000 miles on it. It has 135,000 on it now, and I have only had it in one time recently for new plugs and coils. It has been a great truck, and it really shines towing my little boat. I can run up any mountain pass with it on cruise control...

    I've actually heard Shoe-Goo will work for stuff like that as well.

    What truck-Family

    I have a 2013 F-150 Crew Cab with the 6.5' Box. I don't mind the turning radius. But i definitely would not give up the 6.5' box or the Extra room in the cab. Its been a great truck for me so far. Purchased used 2 years ago. Its the go-to vehicle for long road trips with the family. (5yo &...

    Sound Off - 100% Debt Free

    Retirement and 401k strategies

    Invest to get any match you can from your employer first. If they offer the Roth 401k, that is the first place to get money. If no Roth 401k is available. Invest up to the match in the traditional 401k with the first dollars, than max out a Roth IRA, than with any other money you have to...

    Using an elk decoy during archery thoughts?

    With a dedicated caller it can be a useful tool. As a hunter, it just adds another moving part to deal with.
