    How much do you all actually hunt?

    I would say 15 days total on the average. Add another 5 for fishing maybe. My strategy is to focus on high % success opportunities to make the most use of my limited time. Hunting is cool and all but it is far from the most important thing.

    Custom Home - Must Haves?

    Sprinkler systems. Worth it? Possible to install at later date? Primarily concerned with keeping water on a treeline but I can put drip on that. Yard sprinkler systems in my experience have been a huge PITA, but admittedly maybe the latest tech and a proper install would make it worth it...

    A Hunter's Bachelor Party

    Solid. Did the same for almost all of mine, bonus points if near a casino, golf course or sporting clays place. The amount of alcohol consumed in my group basically eliminates any activity before 9 am.

    How was your season

    I would like to play the boo-hoo game and blame covid for plans that weren't able to happen, but even in an 'off year' I realize that Im blessed and know others would love to have had my year. So the good and bad.. Things that did happen: Sandhill crane, 1st time doing this and it was awesome...

    Custom Home - Must Haves?

    this is one of those things that’s super important but i 100% can visualize. looking at a blueprint and thinking of how the lighting will look hurts my brain. they are going to put together a 3d rendering which should be helpful here.

    Favorite Bourbon Opinions

    I think there might be a 'look how cheap i can get it' thing going on here....Eagle Rare and Blantons trade at dumb prices in TX, Buffalo Trace is even getting hard to find. That being said...its what I buy when I find itt. As for 30-50 - Basil Haydens and Blade & Bow are my top choices. <30...

    How long will the ammo shortage last?

    Alternative in the meantime is to buy something that shoots the ammo on the shelf. At Cabelas today you had a choice of 6.5-300 wby, 375H&H, or slugs

    This is extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. The Odyssey batteries free up a little cash if I go that direction. Really appreciate the heads up.
