    2023 Blacktail Success Thread

    Appreciate it! The rain and low ceiling made for some crappy goat hunting but led to favorable stalking conditions down low.

    Truck camping when its too damn hot!

    I have a Bluetti auxiliary battery I have wired into a switch panel (super easy to do) that sits in the back of the bed with a topper. I wired a 12V fan into the panel and that was able to keep me cool enough to sleep when I lived out of my truck for 6 months. Spent august split between Utah and...

    Trail cam tips or tricks

    I’ve used probably 5 different mid tier trail cameras but keep going to the $30 Walmart tascos. They’re great for the price, batteries last 9+ months with frequent pics, pretty reliable (I’ve had 2 go bad in 4 years out of about 24), and i can buy a bunch to blanket an area. Similar to other...

    Home Bulk Ice Maker

    Depending on where you live, maybe look into those ice dispenser units off of roads. The ones around me run $2.50/20lbs bulk or $2.50/16lbs bagged. They can sometimes be a pain to track down but if you can find one it may be a cheap option.

    But... You don't understand!

    Best one I’ve got is someone dropping out the morning we’re supposed to meet for a 4 day hunt because they only had 7 hours of sleep and not their usual 8, said it wasn’t safe to drive the 3.5 hours on that little sleep. Pretty sure a warm body next to him in bed had something to do with that...

    Who's driving a 300k+ mileage rig

    2002 Silverado 1500 5.3 V8, 340,000 on original engine and tranny. Has been run hard hauling 28ft+ boats and horse trailers and plowing snow, but no major issues. Redid the u joints around 330,000, just replaced most of the HVAC system, and has the Chevy clunk but still clipping along.

I’m far from a turkey slayer, still learning to not...

    How much wildgame does your family eat?

    Single guy in college. At least 2 meals a day have wild game. This season I put 6 deer (Alabama sized, no larger than 160lbs really), a hog, a couple of ducks, and trying to put away a couple of turkeys in the freezer and I’d be surprised if it lasted till October when our deer season starts up...

    Cap pack or decked system?

    Cost me $500 to build out of 3/4” plywood with lumber prices, and about 24 hours of work using just a circular saw for cutting. Very nice to be able to keep all gear organized and secure in the truck and still be able to have a sleeping platform. Drawers sit as high as my wheel wells so it’s a...
