    Favorite National Park

    Bryce Canyon for me. Teton at sunrise is pretty amazing. The Wildlife in yellowstone is unreal. Zion was memorable. Grand Canyon worth a trip. While not a national park, Devil's Tower in the morning sunlight was a sight to behold. But those hoodoos are breathtaking.

    Who hunts with sub 20 inch "tactical" shotgun for turkey?

    I think the biggest consideration is that you no longer need a 12 guage for a turkey gun. If you have one and want double use, absolutely, use it for turkeys and enjoy it! If you are buying a new gun, go 20 guage or smaller. 20 guage longbeards are good to 50 yards, tss even further. With tss, a...

    Alec Baldwin shooting

    I strongly disagree with this. As the person handling the gun, he was directly responsible for anything caused by the discharge of that firearm. Treat every gun as if it were loaded, do not point the muzzle of a gun at anything you are not willing to shoot...these are some of the most basic...

    Eastern MT Upland Birds - First week vs. second

    I grew up in southwest Nebraska, which is usually publicized as the best part of the state for pheasants. It also gets its fair share of NR hunters. Growing up we hated it when those NR hunters that rolled in and "overhunted  our spots". Having hunted South Dakota for pheasants as a NR, you can...

    Close distance shots with extra full chokes

    There is a lot if good info to be found at oldgobbler forum. A lot of load patterning posts where you can see specific gun/choke/load combos others have posted. I was able to narrow it down to a couple chokes to try for my setup. Also, if you call trulock, carlson, indian creek, etc...most have...

    Keep hurting my lower back any tips so this will stop.

    A bit of a sidebar, but wanted to note that there are some common foods that have anti-inflammatory effects as well. Beets, beet juice, tart cherries (most dried cherries are tart cherries, but check the label), ginger, and tumeric (in curry powder for seasoning) can all be added to your diet...

    Keep hurting my lower back any tips so this will stop.

    Once you have an injury to that fibrous outer part of the disc, it's always going to be more prone to re-injury and that flare up from time to time is pretty common. Flexion of the spine pushes the bodies of the vertebrae above and below the disc together, forcing the squishy middle part of the...

    So I found a bison skull. Now what?

    I found what I'm positive to be a bison metacarpal a couple years ago sticking out the side of a cattle trail washout going down a hill. I have a few bovine metacarpals to compare it to. I have it on a shelf and check that spot every year for anything new showing, only some bone fragments so...

    Which states prohibit or limit field-quartering of big game?

    Nebraska's regs state you can't separate into less than bone-in quarters prior to check-in. During rifle season that is done at check stations, other seasons it can be done via phone or website.

    2023 Bird and Dog pics

    I have completed Nebraska's Upland Slam several times, but usually over the course of a few different hunts. This morning Boone and I headed to the sandhills to try and find a Sharptail for the slam. After bagging our sharptail and a prairie chicken early in the day, we drove 3 hours back south...

    Marsupial Gear modular yoke alternative?

    You could reach out to Final Rise and see if they'd sell you just a shoulder yoke/harness. I don't see it listed in thier accessories, but it's an add on for the sidekick and is modular. There is no padding in the shoulder straps, they lie flat. Nice grippy surface on the bottom. I've packed my...

    Is CWD the Imminent Doom for Hunting?

    This is a pretty good analogy. The risk of your boy getting rabies is very low. However, if he were to get rabies, mortality rate is nearly 100% (per WHO). So treatment recommendations are to go through the rabies protocol if there was any chance someone could have been exposed to rabies. Some...
