    Will Vehicle Prices Ever Decrease?

    Imo they can sell you whatever line regarding finances, inventory, inflation but a truck should not be priced out to almost a home. No way heated seats and a butt massager and some emblems take a trim from 50k to 110k. I decided to keep my 2011 ram until it blows. Used market is not much better.

    Those with more than one dog

    I have two labs. About a year apart though. It's been great for both of them actually. They have a playmate and imo when bird season rolls around I can cycle them to keep stress and wear and tear down and keep them ready to go. I will run them both together sometimes but it's great. Plus two...

    Franchi, SX4, Weatherby, Mossberg

    I have both sx4 and the weatherby. You'll find more cast adjustability with the weatherby. I use the sx4 waterfowling a lot. About every weekend and day I can take off to get out. So it's be put through the ringer here in wyo Temps. Just make sure you clean that sx4 religiously, it can run...

    Looking for input on ELD-X bullet performance (w/ field pics)

    Have some experience with 6.5 prc in the 143 eldx. Shot many antelope that just dropped, deer as well and I shot a cow elk quartering away sharply at 360. She went 10 feet and toppled over. Bullets have never fragmented (never shoulder shot them) and the cow I shot the mushroom was poking out...

    Help me choose a Duck gun

    Imo a personal happy medium for me and imo, anyone looking to start, is the winchester sx4. Same EXACT guts as a wicked wing and it's been super reliable. By same, I mean how they break down. Been using it in rain, snow, heat and it's great. I waterfowl every weekend and shoot tons of upland...

    Wyoming Whitetails

    Wyoming is often overlooked for quality whitetail hunting. Sundance has tons and great public land. Buffalo areas are loaded. They are also scattered on various farms and ag fields throughout the state. Not gonna be a Nebraska or Iowa buck but it's still fun

    Kenetrek Mountain Extreme 1000s Experience

    Kene is running a great sale right now. Currently I run the non insulated mountain extremes. Fit was and still fantastic right out the box for my feet. I tend to get somewhat active during my hunts but with glassing and no movement at points in late season hunts, my feet aren't having it with...

    How many hours per day do you hunt your dog

    Run them as you see fit. Just watch for them quitting. They will find a shady spot and maybe not bring a bird back. At that point, water their groin area and insides of legs. Pouring water on them will cook them like a furnace. Imo I don't see it necessary to run 8 hours all day. Split those...

    Toilet paper or wet wipes?

    Wet wipes. Take some veggie bags from the store to dispose. Packs to nothing if you want to leave no trace or burn later. It all weighs nothing

    MEAT your maker Chamber Vac

    Not an owner but can attest to longevity. Resort we guided at we probably put about 1000 pheasant and chukar breasts in bags of 4 or 8 birds. They use it in that capacity about most weekends. Was working overtime. It also lives in their kitchen year round. Seems to work great

    E - Scouting - is grazing something to think about?

    Imo unless you have boots on the ground or know the area you won't know until you arrive. If one fence has a lot more grass in density and height and the other side is barren, good sign of grazing especially with cow pies around. Onx should be able to give you a clue as to what kind of land is...

    Waterfowl clothing

    I hunt and use the high and dry neoprene waders (wyo freezing temps), and use my earth colored stone glacier gear. I was smacking ducks all year. Geese as well. Imo the best advice I got for the snow was a non shiny bed sheet for snowy ground. Works surprisingly well. Sitka is nice, I run a...

    "The Best Killer Elk Rifles from a Guide's Perspective"

    Word. My 300 wby goes everywhere with me. Ol reliable has never let me down. Shot it without a brake for years. I still don't understand the fascination with these small calibers for larger game. I don't even feel the recoil in the moment of the shot and I don't shoot bench.
