    What's up with Texans in the GYE?

    I will pile on and say I just got back from taking the family out to Teton and Yellowstone and every crazy ass, impatient driver I dealt with in the park and on the race road from Cody to Casper did have Texas plates. The only exception was an older lady in a tiny white hatchback w/ Wyoming...

    NCAA allows athletes to monetize name

    I'm fine with it. I can see it leading to locker room drama and jealousy though. Certainly uncharted territory. A lot of the talking heads are predicting female athletes will benefit greatly. Also, will be interesting to see how this effects athletes choice of school. A highly rated...

    How much do you value your residency

    When I was young I swore I'd be out of Iowa ASAP. I did get out for a while but don't think I'll ever leave now. I love the west and make it out there yearly but Eastern Iowa gives me everything I need to be happy.

    The Other Football

    I'm a big fan of the game. Have been since I started plying as a kid the first year the YMCA brought it to the area. I'll watch any good game and I watch a lot of the world cup but I don't have a favorite team besides the US national teams and I don't really keep track of the individual players.

    Ballot initiative to repeal HB637

    Iowa can show you how to deal with NR landowners. It's simple. ALL NR must get tag through the draw. It's a constant battle and one I fear we'll eventually lose but it's worth it. Of course, that's a hard sell when you already have gone down the road of turning hunting into business. We...

    Tell Me About Scheel's

    I'm really impressed by Sheels growth while still maintaining quality inventory and customer service. The one store the whole family can agree on visiting. They have the outdoors, athletics and whatever the wife is into covered. It's usually an expensive visit.

    duck boats and blinds

    Finally picked up a mud motor over the weekend. 2015 Backwater 35. Can't believe I waited so long to get one of these things! Took it out for the first time Sunday afternoon. It's very easy to handle. Saw over 20 MPH on my GPS, not even at full throttle. The prop was blowing out of the...

    Attn: Waterfowl fanatics!

    Price point is certainly a consideration. I've been all lurking mmtalk a lot. Leaning towards keeping it simple with a long tail. Specifically a Backwater. Only real reason for me to consider a surface drive is to fit in garage easier.

    Attn: Waterfowl fanatics!

    I documented the revamp of my boat blind here already. I've sense added pods which reduced draft by almost 3". my son and I just took on a side job so we can get a mud motor without having to get any kind of approval from the wife. Still debating if we want to pop for a surface drive or...

    Ghost Guns

    Thanks. Assuming your serious I agree with the over arching theme of your statement. I do however wonder how long that status quo will hold.

    Did I miss the post were someone offered a good explanation about why cracking down on guns without serial numbers is bad?

    Fish Finder Opinions

    When I was hot and heavy into Bass fishing I always used Lowrance. Now slowly getting back into to fishing more I have a Garmin unit and a Hummingbird Helix 7. I find them both much easier to use. I really love the side imaging and down imaging. There is some real crazy stuff out there if...

    Purity?

    I try real hard to not get caught up in this kind of mental masturbation anymore and usually keep most of those thoughts to myself but since you asked. In my eyes the public land animal usually means more to me as a hunting accomplishment and even the ability/luck of the animal to evade hunters...

    Should CO Full Limited for Elk ?

    CO sure needs to do something to improve the hunting experience for both R and NR. I'm not sure I'll ever hunt there OTC again unless something happens to reduce crowding.

    Poll: Should NRs have a larger say in Montana Wildlife Management?

    I'm a hard no and will stand by it. Buuuuuuuuuuttttttt when you finance your system on the backs of NRs you sure as shit better expect they're going to have some influence.

    Hiring

    I hire and fire what most would consider unskilled or low skill labor. Being able to show up, count and put in an honest days work carrying your weight is about all it takes to get in the door. I'm big on being a team player and getting along with fellow employees. I don't want any cancers...

    Have Any of You Observed a Wildlife Law Violation ? What Did you Do ?

    To be clear. When I said I called in guys shooting ducks after sunset I'm not talking about a couple minute discrepancy. I'm talking about like 20 minutes after when everyone else in the marsh is picking up or motoring out and the ducks are coming back in because they know they won't be shot...

    Sh*t our wives do...

    My wife has this adorable expectation that vehicles, appliances and other mechanical things will never break and then is also floored by how much they cost to maintain and fix. On big projects I have taken to proving my worth by having her get a quote from a pro before I fix it. She...

    Have Any of You Observed a Wildlife Law Violation ? What Did you Do ?

    I've called on guys over limit on ducks, shooting past sunset and being out on WMA before midnight to claim their spot.
