    Hunting Misconceptions and Ethics

    As hunters, we can be our own worst enemy. Too many posts about letting deer walk so their antlers grow bigger. Always looking for a bigger cartridge or long distance shots. We need to focus on conservation and family. How hunters help keep the herds numbers low so animals don't destroy their...

    Excited for fall, but depressed-rant

    I want to get back into waterfowl. I have some decoys and old kayak that was my brothers, and a pair or waders I'm not sure fit anymore. It's that pretty much any activity causes pain and too much I'm worthless to do anything for a while after.

    Excited for fall, but depressed-rant

    Anybody ever modify or seen a winch or windlass modified to use a couple hundred feet of rope? Just wondering the feasibility of that to help drag the last bit. The main area I hunt is pretty flat.

    Excited for fall, but depressed-rant

    I emailed the DNR a few days ago, and am waiting to hear back from them. They are pretty good at answering emails. Not sure I can justify the cost of an ebike, but they do make after market kits for a few hundred on Amazon I'm looking at.

    The "if you were retired today" thread

    Retired in early 40's. Made pancakes for the kid and a couple neighbor kids this morning. Just sitting down after mowing the lawn. Maybe clean the house a little before going to a preschool meeting tonight then dinner/drinks with some other parents after.

    Military vaccine mandate

    That's true. But the overall point is the government has a long history of screwing up or flat out indifference to the welfare of our citizens. Look at the Tuskegee Experiment or purposely exposing our military to nuclear explosions.

    Question for those with private pilots license

    Make sure you can get a 3rd class medical first. I used Gleim for ground school. Good but dry. I've heard good things about Sporty's.

    Military vaccine mandate

    I was in during the mandatory anthrax shots. Those stopped and the mandate was deemed illegal. Food for thought.

    WTB 350 Legend

    Looking for a bolt action 350 legend. My first gun season last year in 20+ years in Ohio left me with too many passed over deer that were just out of reach with my shotgun and 44 mag. Thanks.
