    Meat Care Equipment Priorities

    Buy the very best quality equipment you can afford. If there’s two things I don't regret stretching my Budget for its my grinder and my knives. Stuffers are great but save up until you can afford a 15lb’r or bigger. My first stuffer was a 5 lb’r. It worked great but it was more if a pain...

    Back issues field dressing.

    I used to hunt in an eastern federal forest its a strictly walk in drag out sort of place. It was hilly I had the same problem with my back. I would about have to lay down beside the deer to field dress it. I always found a place to field dress where I could lay the deer uphill. Once I even...

    What would you do? Binoculars

    I would buy Swaro NLs and use and enjoy them the rest of my life and never again feel the need to consider what binos to buy. But thats just me……

    Remington 788 7mm-08 scope recommendations

    You don't mention your use for the rifle or your level of magnification but I use VX3 variants 2.5-8x36 on my shorter or carbine rifles. Been considering a Swaro Z3 3-9x36 as another choice for a small scope.

    MEAT your maker products

    I’m a LEM guy myself. I have a grinder, two stuffers and vac packer all from LEM. Had them all for a while. No issues with anything from LEM. They have stood the test of time for me. That said MEAT products are getting some dang good reviews and have darn good prices. If I wasn't so pleased...

    Saltwater fly fishing reels

    I cant comment on any other brand than Tibor as thats all I have used the last 25 years. I fish exclusively in the salt and the past 7/8 years out of a yak. So my reels get wet. I’m still using the 5 Tibors I bought over 20 years ago. I use two Everglades mostly as they are on 8/9 weight rods...

    What time do all you geezers get up in the morning?

    I’m usually in bed by 9:00 pm after falling asleep at 8:00 in my chair. Usually wake up once around midnight take a wizz then go right back sleep the rest of night. I don't nap during the day so I think that helps me get a good nights sleep.

    What time do all you geezers get up in the morning?

    4:15 -4:30. Every morning for 30 years. I never sleep in. Never miss a sunrise. I like being up early. It makes it easy the many days a year I need be up at that time to hunt or fish. Its just another morning. I see guys dragging their rears out of bed two to three hours ahead of their normal...

    Vets refusing to work on hunting dogs

    No but I believe there are vets that would take that stance. If encountered one I would just move along to another vet. It’s a stupid stance in my opinion as it doesn't change a thing and only serves as a culture statement. I find life is better for me if I can avoid the woke so thats what I try...

    How many are using a Sport SXS for hunting access, which one and your experience?

    All I can add is after using 4 wheelers (with racks) since 1992 last year I bought a utility type Ranger 1000 SXS . After a season of using that I would never go back to a 4 wheeler. So nice to have that bed in the back and not fighting to strap on game and gear. It has a roof so a bit of...

    Is the western hunting bubble bursting? (Or at least shrinking?)

    Some people get all charged up on things like hunting. They get invited to go by a friend or start watching you tube content. They do it for a few years then move on to the next thing. So I don't doubt you may be seeing this cycle. I’m not in the west but I hunt the SE and a hunt every year in...

    Did it make the jump?

    I will take my chances with venison I kill and process myself. Versus processed foods and mystery meat.

    Duffle bag as luggage

    I use a wheeled duffle bag for longer trips. Shorter like a weekend I use a medium non wheeled duffle. I always carry on my day pack. My day pack is my travel office and I keep one change of clothes jammed in there or at minimum a clean shirt.

    Loss of Zero - Should Have Known

    I’m a Talley user myself. I have at least 5 hunting rifles with the LWs on them. They are all non magnums. I am not tough on rifles or scopes. I have had no issues. But honestly with all the options available to us out there I would not use any mounts or rings I had even a 1% doubt would fail...
