New truck with hail damage
Definitely if the dents don’t bother you. I’d work on trying to repair them over time. I apply a similar methodology to my vehicles. Buy them new and take good care of them, put 150K on them in 10 years, and then sell them private party before any expensive repairs. It’s a decent strategy...- NEWHunter

Another sage grouse thread
Saw lots of guys out after sage grouse this fall. We were antelope hunting and almost everyone that stopped to talk wanted to know if we’d seen any birds. Could have easily ground swatted a couple of limits driving around. Maybe figure out what kind of accommodations you want and go from there.- NEWHunter

Guesses on Score?
He’s a good deer. I’d shoot him and happily fork over the cash for a shoulder mount. That side profile makes it look like he might have a g4 on that left side. If that’s the case, plus the kicker on that side, he’ll be in the 130s somewhere. Ground check him for us please. Good luck! 142... -
Annoying Yard Bucks Anyone?
Showed up for a day last year and came back this year to rub it in. -
Gratitude For The Deer That Are There
Congrats, you’re doing it right. Thanks for sharing. My oldest turned 10 two short years ago. We were just having those same experiences. He’s a different hunter already - wish I could slow it down. To your point, as my mom often said, life is what you make it.- NEWHunter

Skull turns dark/ black euro mount issue
I’ve had this issue once or twice. Seems to happen when the head has been skinned out for a while before I get to simmering.- NEWHunter

Best chili
Kinda like what @texwest44 said, I generally go heavier on the cumin than most recipes would indicate. It goes over well. Good luck!- NEWHunter

Five antelope, seven days
I think it’s a trend thing. Cam maybe? There was some live hunt on here with dudes elk hunting shirtless. I’m not judging.- NEWHunter

Whitetail hunting the rain
Make extra sure the shot flies true and locate a guy with a tracking dog in your area for additional insurance. I’ll be out in the rain the next several days as well. Good luck. -
Grouse in Michigan
Definitely birds in the UP. A bit less pressure up there too. Bird numbers can vary year to year and in response to pressure and habitat quality. Just walking the roads through the right habitat can produce. You don’t have to go busting through the old cuts. Even walking roads through more...- NEWHunter

Shooting from a tripod
Sorry, can’t speak to the equipment. We just use a cheap Caldwell. But to your original question #2, I wouldn’t take a kid hunting without a tripod. Good luck!- NEWHunter

WI Grouse 2024
We hit northern WI last weekend and found a few birds. There were a few more leaves on the trees this year than last. Numbers seemed OK. Although I’d probably follow @TheGreek and head to MN and leave WI alone. I had the gun jam and missed a pretty good opportunity. He flew off in to some...- NEWHunter

MN Grouse Camp 2024
We just did 2 days in northern WI. Basically two guys got 3 birds in two days. I think our count was getting close to 20/day by a similar definition of a flush. No such thing as a gimme, but I deferred to my brother on a gimme and he missed - shoulda been 4 birds. The two I got were...- NEWHunter

MN Grouse Camp 2024
Well done! Thanks for sharing. Just curious, if you hear a few wing beats of a flush 40 yards out, are you counting that?- NEWHunter

Making a job change possibly...what would you do?
Not trying to convince anyone it’s the hardest job. Although, as I said, teaching isn’t what most people think it is. I’ve stood in over a foot of water and thrown 8 foot symons forms out of an 8 foot hole during a Wisconsin summer - it was 90 degrees. Teaching is a hard job. Got any other...- NEWHunter
