    Training the Wife

    Had this exact issue yesterday. Backing truck up to unload some stuff and can kind of hear here giving commands back there but she's not visible in the mirrors. We've been married 41 years, I don't think it's gonna happen.

    Fixed blade for the field

    People get all worked up about what brand and type of knife are best in the field for dealing with big game. Nothing wrong with being a "knife guy", collecting different ones, etc. but in reality as long as you have something sharp, of reasonable size (not tiny or huge), that you can keep...

    What size pot to boil an elk skull?

    Get a metal ash bucket from a farm store. Don't use something you ever want to cook in again.

    Everyone’s Saying the Same Thing After Scientists 'Resurrect' the Dire Wolf

    Have seen this Dire Wolf news in quite a few different places lately. Call me a skeptic, but I don't believe it.

    Anyone else tired of tight groups with sandbags galore?

    I hate seeing these great white hunters in the field sitting in a heated enclosed blind with their rifle clamped in a bog pod on a tripod.

    Elk Itch

    If doing it by yourself, I'd start out on deer, much easier to locate, harvest and handle the meat on your own. Probably easier to get tags too. If you are wanting to harvest an elk right out of the gate, I'd go with a good outfitter or some seasoned elk hunters as they are typically far more...

    Tariffs

    Construction in the midwestern states is booming. Any decent builder with some resources is booked up with about all they can handle.

    Evaluate the ROI on Education

    Saw several comments eluding to the cost of trade schools. The vast majority of hands on trades can be learned on the job while you are getting paid entry level and up wages, learning as you go. Likely to be some after hours classroom time required on your dime, but that is typically not a...

    Evaluate the ROI on Education

    Spot on ! Even if you work for the other guy, you should have something of your own going on the side.

    Evaluate the ROI on Education

    This is a big problem. Doesn't matter what you choose to do, you still need some basic education. Do they still even "flunk" kids in grades 1 thru 12 anymore? Used to be pretty common for a kid or two to get held back because they couldn't meet minimum standards. It was embarrassing for...

    Don't let an accident become a tragedy

    Several years back a good buddy came over to our farm to rabbit hunt. We finished up and he's unloading his pump gun in the driveway to put in his truck and fires off a live 12ga round into the gravel a few feet in front of himself. Luckily he practiced muzzle control and it went off in a safe...

    January Inflation

    Nothing new here and certainly not unique to Gen Z. Read somewhere that the average person surveyed feels they have a better chance retiring with some wealth by playing the lotto -vs- actually working and saving for it.

    "Not Your Grandpa's Savage"

    No kidding ..... Grandpas Savage actually had a wooden stock and a blued finish -vs- the plastic bead blasted junk they put out. I've got my Grandpas Remington model 12 pump .22 rimfire with a Weaver K3 scope. Gun is 100+ years old and still shoots fine.

    Porqupine eating brake hoses and tires

    Had misc. wiring harnesses chewed up in our business fleet trucks. Employees that drove them home and lived in the country leaving them parked outdoors. Squirrels and chipmunks were the culprits. Turns out the insulation on many of the wires was soy based.

    I just need a few tips on turkey hunting

    Don't know jack about turkey hunting but I've killed a few and have found it to be rather easy. First issue is having a hunting location with some birds. I just set a hen decoy out in front of me about 25-30 yards in someplace rather open where they can spot it from a distance. Sit still...

    Federal Land Sales for Affordable Housing?

    There are places where this would make great sense, such as moth balled military properties, un-needed federal buildings converted to apartments or condo's, etc. Hopefully they won't be dumb enough to consider development of pristine wild lands for this.

    St. Patrick's Day

    Just heard on the radio that in old Ireland Leprechauns were originally believed to be red rather than blue. They made their living as shoe makers and the gold coins they earned making shoes, they kept in a pot at the end of the rainbow. Good info to share with your young kids or grandkids. :p
