It's pretty sad but a great example of what can happen. Portland is the same. When i was younger it was a gret trip to go over to Seattle did it a lot in high school. Now I don't even want to think about going there. Last time i was there maybe 4 years ago you had to keep corssing back and forth...
I’ll say this is a highly over looked spotter. I have it and it is great especially for backpacking. The glass out performs the price point especially at used price.
Agreed not afraid of used, haven’t owned but been around them my whole life as my dad always had one. So I have a pretty good idea what to look for as damage goes, watched my dad fix plenty of it. Thanks for the advice on that part. Been seeing plenty of “in great shape, slight leak in roof…” ads
Yeah changing truck isnt an option. I currently have a converted box trailer but that puts us back in tent if taking boat or horse trailer. Just something started thinking of, while looking at used models on marketplace.
Anyone have experience with truck bed campers and truck bed length. Seems info all over the place online. Specifically I have a duramax 2500 with 6.5 foot bed. Could I run a 9.5 ft camper leaving the tailgate down? Or should I be sticking with a 8 ft model?
You didnt mention having duck but one i have done is smoke a whole duck glazing with maple syrup and sea salt until the breast is done. Slice the breast and fry like bacon in a little fat. turns out almost like bacon. put slices on crackers with a little herb or chive goat cheese. fantastic...
precisely why i finally upgraded to Kennetrek's about 3 yrs ago, I figure im probably ahead of the game money wise already. Plus they still look brand new. I keep them clean but use them year round for hunting and hiking. Once broken into my feet they are like slipping on a pair of tennis shoes...
You will want to use them fast, its not about the meat so much as you made sausage which is higher fat content. The fat exposed to air will go rancid much faster than the meat will freezer burn. Personally i would eat those first like you said and inside at max the first 6 months.

Great article on the recent study coming out regarding the problems with mainly our fish and wildlife commission in Wa State. The study found they are dysfunctional which is the least that can be...
I read the entire blog when you got back and all the pictures and loved it. This series did not dissapoint. I to was wondering how the sheep roasts turned out?
One thing i was noticing was the guides who are up there 100 days are hunting in what looks like Jeans and flannel. Classic...
I am about a third through this book and have been enjoying a little dark at first but I think it’s turning. So far really enjoy makes you think about life.
I started going for deer sheds mainly a lot in Washington this was about 10yrs ago and within 2-3 yrs instead of being by myself middle of the week there would be multiple rigs and about half with dogs looking for them. I stopped going. That kind of pressure is not what the deer or elk need...
Well some of that may be true it’s just giving an excuse. We have at least half our board with kids with many on there for a few years and none of my guys at work fall into those other categories.
I am a firm believer people for the vast majority of the country are not raised with a work ethic...
I dont really see how volunteering for habitat is any different than volunteering for the community. I would say they are one in the same. Out of your list, it was hard to check many boxes yet I'm a board member for BHA, Hunters Ed instructor, and coach youth sports. I could not do much more...
I bought an auction trip for three hunters this spring and have plans for May of '25 for the family. My wife, son and I will be hunting, and my daughter along for the trip. Will be Dove, pigeon, and Golden Dorado fishing plus we added a day of ducks if wet enough for it next year. Looking into...
People time and time again have been found to fail at self regulation as a whole. We are a country built on doing things one better or one farther. Regulation is the only way to control it. I would be interested in if they have any actual findings to support the change or if it’s out of wanting...
I have a seek outside peregrine for sale. Medium belt and frame extensions, load shelf and extra straps. Only been used once. Great pack waterproof and light. Debated selling for a while but already have several other packs so this one has just been sitting. $400 Tyd
