    Taking your kids hunting

    I’ve always taken my kids to the woods very early in life. The baby of 3 will be 15 next week and she was checking trail cameras with me before she could walk. She would ride in the chest harness baby carrier and we would travel the property. We would “deer hunt” when she was 2-3. We had a blind...

    Vertical Electric Pellet Smokers with Wifi

    I’ve got the pit boss. It does good. I wish it would put off a little more smoke. But it does hold heat well and the wifi is nice. I’ve done butts, ribs, brisket, burgers, wings, summer sausage,deer quarters, and even peach pie. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Giant City Whitetails

    I’ve got some spots in the city limits of Atlanta. Definitely some big deer around but still hard to kill. They are not tame by any means. It’s nothing to hear kids playing, people doing yard work or deliver truck backing up but step foot into their area and they know you are there. I’ve been...

    Maine Bear - Great Northern Outfitters

    My buddy and I are hunting with them the first week of the season. I’ve talked with Dan several times and with some of his references before booking and everything seems to point to being a quality outfitter. Hopefully in a little over a month I can be posting pictures and sharing out...

    Black gold

    I’ve shot the last 2 season of ASA tournaments with pins and a 6x lens. I’m not a fan of the lenses that come from black gold. The convex shape gave me poi changes and glare in different lighting situations. I replaced it with a flat glass 1 5/8” lens. And really like that combo. I also have to...

    WTB Site for sons first bow

    I don’t have a sight for sale but when my daughter was that age she had an HHA and we would sight in in feet instead of yards. This allowed us to us the pre made tapes. So 75 yards on the tape would be scaled to 75’ or 25 yard in measured distance. Or 60yards on the tape would be 60’ or 20...

    Georgia hunting

    I would recommend starting to put in for quota hunts and start building points. There are a couple of hunts that I would pay good money to go on that you can do for free. Shoot me a message and I’ll help y’all some. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Any Idaho electricians on here

    I passed my Georgia test and earlier this month had the 1 year anniversary of the company I started. My son now works for me and we are able to make our own schedule and have hunted more this season than ever before. Good luck to you on all your future endeavors! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    any appliance guys on here? need a new set

    I agree with everyone saying Speed Queen. Got tired of having to repair or replace within 5 years. Took awhile to find some in stock but definitely worth the money. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Any wisdom for a first time miss?

    I’m in my 30th season bow hunting and have killed well over 100 animals with a bow. I still get shook up when I come to full draw. When that quits I’ll quit too. The best thing to do is shoot animals. There is no other practice for it. Until you have filled several truck beds full don’t pass...

    Hiking/trail/ everyday shoe

    The altra lone peak 4.5 are what I’ve been wearing everywhere for the last 2 years or more I’m an electrician so wear them in all sorts of situations from concrete slabs, in the dirt and up ladders all day.
