After watching countless YouTube videos and reading bbq blogs the last few years I've smoked a handful of Briskets (all prime from costco) and I dont know what all the fuss is about. It's never been inedible but people always act blown away by brisket and I've yet to have one to really make...
After my cheap semi auto broke on me and successfully limiting out on doves 2 days in a row with my 23 year old single shot, I'm getting the bird hunting itch. While a Beretta/Browning or the like would be great they are just out of my reach any time soon.
I'd like something that I can use on...
With my local deer season already closed and cooler temps finally hitting central CA, the idea of chasing some pigs is on my mind. The few pigs I've cooked have always been smoking the shoulders and hams and grilling the loins. With the loins being so lean especially on wild pigs, I was...
This is good news for so many hunters affected by wildfire closures last year.

Doing a quick search for what guys are running for adapters, I came across the outdoorsman's and vortex options. I'm currently searching for something to replace the heavy/bulky adapter I currently use. It's the style that threads directly into the bino and never seems to get tight enough...

While I'm not the biggest fan of my state's governor, I do appreciate him signing the approval of a 365 day fishing license.
I just mounted a luepold vx3hd on my vanguard with Talley one piece lightweights. When adjusting the scope for best eye relief at high power before torquing the rings, I feel like I need the scope to come back a bit more. As you can see I'm maxed out on the front ring. Other than shaving down...
For the past 6 1/2 years I've worked as an Ag. Mechanic/welder for a local dairyfarm. The pay has been good the bosses aren't too bad to work for but I work 6 days a week 60+ hours. I'm also tired of working on tractors, I barely get by trying to do diesel mechanic work. Needless to say...
Good luck to all the brave guys willing to fight the heat this opening weekend! Hope your tags and freezers get filled. Looking forward to opening weekend in August, maybe it'll cool off by then and we will only get up to 95!
This guy flew off the highway next to the dairy I work at, blew through two fences and took out two porch pillars and the concrete porch. Walked away without a scratch.
Anyone catch this podcast? One of the best non hunting related podcast episodes I've heard in a while. This guy's story is incredible and just hearing him describe the hell he went through shows the sacrifices he and so many others have made. Definitely worth a listen.
On a side note the...
When shopping for used trucks I've always had a hard time finding the exact tow rating for a truck. With so many engine/transmission, rear end etc options there's a huge range the same truck is capable of towing. I came across this site that has pdf charts by year for all manufacturers and all...
I don't have a personal dog in this fight, my home state outlawed trapping last year. I wonder how much traction this would have since there's a negative connotation with the ethics of trapping with the public, even with many outdoorsmen...
I saw an ad from outdoorsman's pop up for a new spotter from swarovski. 115mm spotting scope....good lord, are people glassing across two counties? I'm all for better innovation and quality but bigger isn't always better. This just seems useless unless all you do is hunt out of a truck.
Anyone keep one in your truck for emergencies? I've looked into the cheaper ones in the past but they are kinda bulky for my single cab. The newer lithium ones look promising to me even though they are pricier. I've specifically looked at the Noco brand jump starters but not sure what the...
It's opening day today, hope everyone had a successful morning. Everyone is familiar with the bbq dove poppers but who has another way they like to serve up those tasty doves?
I grew up keeping the breasts whole, skin on with wings attached, marinated in a pickling spice, wine and vinegar...
Wildfires are a way of life every summer in California. We had a couple really big ones last season that took whole communities. This year started out pretty quiet but August is sure making up for it. How's it been in your State?
Wondering what you guys have as a set up to keep trail cams secure.
I don't have too much time for scouting this season so I thought putting up a couple trail cams on a blm spot I've hunted pigs this spring. This spot isn't used heavily, apparently this place is a "local secret" and I was...
