Global warming!
It’s going to be in the 80’s and lows the mid 60’s while I’m deer hunting this weekend. Suck it Yankees.- D_Walt

1000 inch whitetail?
Pretty much a rounding error for the guy, it wasn’t his actual game room with the rest of mounts, it was the closet to the game room.- D_Walt

1000 inch whitetail?
That is so grotesque it’s just sad. Our Sales Manager at work was showing me a video today of a customer’s “closet” to his trophy room. It had probably close to 100 whitetail racks that were obviously breeder pen raised deer. No 1000 inchers, but I bet almost all over 300”. Raised in a...- D_Walt

Tariffs and Potential Inflation
where does the government get the money to subsidize the items above? Subsidies are just a way to “equitably” distribute “wealth”; or tax dollars and borrowed money.- D_Walt

Help Me Choose a Twist Rate
My son’s tikka t3 superlite .308 Win is a 1:11 and it shoots 175 SMK’s just fine out to 500 yards. But if I had to pick I’d go with the 9.5 to avoid issues with heavier bullets. I doubt there’s any barrel life issue either way. It’s a .308 so you’ll get several thousand rounds out of the... -

Moo-cow headshot - caliber?
How wild is this cow? Will it come up to you with feed? Just about anything will work, get straight on with its head down and shoot so the bullet goes straight into the brain. 30-30 works great for this task. If it’s a wild cow I would say .223 with a 77tmk would be good out to 900 or so.- D_Walt

Tariffs and Potential Inflation
Multiple factors at play and it is definitely a dynamic boom and bust industry. Remodels and custom shops like you are talking about don’t really move the needle; new home and apartment construction drives the bulk of the market. The post-Covid boom cycle brought on by extremely low...- D_Walt

Tariffs and Potential Inflation
There has been a significant amount of investment on the domestic manufacturing side that would not likely have occurred otherwise. Product improvement? Well, that’s in the eye of the beholder. Growth in the industry as a whole is tied to housing sales (and thus interest rates) so that is...- D_Walt

Tariffs and Potential Inflation
Did y'all figure this out yet? My perusal of the thread seems to lead me to believe the HT poster consensus is doing nothing is not effective, and doing anything at all is also equally ineffective and naive….so the best course of action is to do nothing, support nothing, and bitch endlessly...- D_Walt

Taking clients hunting: Give me pointers
Don’t worry about discussing specifics, that kind of an outing is a relationship building event in which you and your client learn a little about each other. You’re not out to be best buddies but when business issues arise on either end later on, having a little knowledge of the guy on the...- D_Walt

What do you call hot?
Over 95 and it starts getting hot to me, over 105 is terrible, humid or not. I pay more attention to the heat index, when it gets over 110 it’s time to flop on the couch. Down here it can be miserable hot just about any day of the year.- D_Walt

2024 Texas Whitetail
Nice, down here I would call it 6 or 7 based off molar wear. First molar is nice and open, second molar still has a nice amount of enamel on the lingual crest, when we kill one like that I just call them “6+” for our records. Either way, nice mature buck and it’s always a good feeling to get...
