    Miles on your old 7.3 diesel?

    New glow plugs and a pair of strong batteries will fix that cold start problem. At least it did on mine! I could reliably start down to about -10 without the block heater.

    Miles on your old 7.3 diesel?

    I had 330K on my 2000 F350 when I retired it. One of the most important things you can do if you tow is to upgrade the transmission cooler. The stock one is laughably small. Also, add gauges so you can monitor the trans temp! I used a ford trans cooler out of a newer (2008ish) truck that was 28...

    Vasectomy

    You know that feeling of discomfort you have about 20 minutes after you get kicked in the nuts really hard? It feels like that for a couple days. Not terrible, just some mild discomfort. That was my experience anyway. Way less painful than having another kid when ours are all in their teens and...

    What’s your ideal hunting truck?

    I hunt out of an 01 ford Excursion. It's older and a little rough around the edges so I don't worry about beating it up on some trails that are better suited for a tacoma. It's a solid axle super duty with a station-wagon body! It's super capable off road. Home built deck system in the back...

    Solunar almanac

    I've never used it to plan a hunt. My dad who is in his 70's loves to hear all about out hunting experiences since he isn't out there in the mountains with us much anymore. He will often look up the solar tables for the day we got our elk or deer and look at the times that they state are best...

    So I found a bison skull. Now what?

    They would need a decade or more of PP's to hunt that area so I'm not too worried about spot burning if that's what you are referring to.

    So I found a bison skull. Now what?

    Time to report back! I just emailed the guy at University of Colorado who sent a sample of the bison skull off for carbon dating for me. This was his response: Sorry for forgetting to get back to you all - the bison came back as ancient, but only sometime between the 18th and early 20th...

    2023 Bird and Dog pics

    I can't get my dog to pose with his birds after a hunt. If he is on the ground he is looking for birds!
