    Cheaper Lithium trolling motor batteries?

    Kinda wondered the same thing myself. I went with a "Dr. Prepare" 100 Ah that was 200 bucks after looking around online without being able to tell much of a difference between them. Having it in hand, it appears to be the exact same battery as the Redodo 100 Ah I had on my old boat with a...

    Gheenoe Build

    So this is her, in the almost final form! A few of the bigger learning points so far: -Gatorglide is sliiick. Like, you need to have at least three hard points between your boat and trailer or else it will absolutely slide off the bunks, slick. Think it turned out well despite the fact that I'm...

    CO OTC- going away?

    Highly doubt it with how quickly habitat (read: wildlife populations) is going away

    CO OTC- going away?

    It was a cool revenue generation tool for CPW for the last few years, but didn't take a rocket scientist to have seen the writing on the wall. Anyone think there are going to be NR OTC tags anywhere out west 20 years from now for deer, elk or antelope?

    3-9x40 enough for medium range antelope?

    A lot of factors come into play before magnification when shooting 500-600 yards. If you haven't shot a series of drills recently, give these a try. Then try them at 600 yards. For probably 95% of the hunting population, magnification is way down the list of problems to solve.

    Gheenoe Build

    Sorry for being slow everyone- insert the typical excuses about life and stuff here. Good news is, she floats! The other side of the coin is that this was a LOT more involved than I was expecting even after exhaustive research, and there are still a few kinks to iron out. Think she came together...

    Kid on an Extended Hunt

    Man I drew a Pronghorn tag a few years ago. One of my best friends came along and wanted to bring his 7 year old, said the kid was dying to come and much more mature than most kids his age. I don't have kids or know anything about them so I thought the worst that could happen was he sees some...

    Gheenoe Build

    Thanks dudes! Super cool seeing eveyone's pictures, keep em coming. The goal for this build is refined simplicity. No power steering, no hydraulics, minimal electronics and maintenance in general while still providing a super capable microskiff platform for fishing tidal rivers and bays. Think I...

    Bitcoin

    Love that. I snagged some ETH while it was down. Knew I should have gone harder in the paint, as the kids would say. No PHD here, but ETH seems like the safest of the bunch outside of maybe BTC

    Been down in the panhandle of FL for the last 18 months where the fishing is bigger than hunting. Started seeing these things called "Gheenoes" around- think the love child of a canoe and a flats skiff. Found a used 90s model online last year and have enough time on it now to know that I'll...

    Toxic / endocrine disrupting chemicals in outdoor equipment & clothes.

    Ever heard of Hunter Seven Foundation? Give them a Google. Enlightening look into how basically everyone in the military is exposed to literally thousands of carcinogens, often with almost no precautions taken... and how that ends up for us. The modern lifestyle involves existing in a sea of...

    Cheaper Lithium trolling motor batteries?

    Spot on. Never charged mine when it was cold, though. Had it about 50% charged beforehand, per the manufacturer recommendation for Li batteries, and then it was completely dead a few days later after it got cold... even took it to a Batteries plus and they confirmed it was shot. Running a...

    Cheaper Lithium trolling motor batteries?

    Noco genius 5 is like $60 and has a lithium charging mode that is unbelievably easy to use. I've had one mounted on my boat for the past year and am putting one in the boat I'm building now as a replacement. They seem to be great little units. Anyone got any experience with Li batteries rated...

    Colorado 2025-2029 Big Game Season Structure

    Is that legit? If so, does anyone know any other western big game season structure that puts rifle before muzzleloader? Wild take by CO if that's the case

    Panhandle Bucks

    Last time I'll post this one. Most of my time hunting whitetail this year was in the panhandle with a little lever .30-30 and a cheap Lifetime kayak. Lots of work with not much trophy potential, but lots of fun with realistic expectations.

    New Year, Same Story

    Just gets really old as an outdoorman when you spend an exhaustive amount of time and effort being a good representation of our sport, and then every year this happens at the same time. For some reason, this one specific subset of hunting seems to attract a lot of low quality humans...

    Chasing Big Muleys and Mental Endurance

    Start doing cold plunges a few times a week. Your entire body and mind are hardwired to perceive cold water as about the most unpleasant, unappealing thing you can experience. If you can condition yourself to control your response to something like that, the discipline you'll gain extends well...

    Private Pilot License advice and info

    That doesn't make what I said incorrect at all; both could have been the case. Although, I'd argue they're not comparable. Above is a good example- "I paid for my commercial with one month crop dusting 45 years ago." That same commercial ASEL license won't even get you a call back to be a...
