    Need advice , my pup is getting aggressive ..

    This is an important point. The alternative for dogs that cannot be trusted is usually euthanization. So it's probably worth giving them a forceful correction or two, first.

    Criticism of road-glassing?

    I can see this being a problem which I guess is why it gets criticized. In my mind, I'd probably want to close most of the critical distance on foot. I'm guessing 1500 sized pickup trucks get spotted pretty easy by a herd of 100 eyeballs.

    Need advice , my pup is getting aggressive ..

    No more access to food 24/7. You control the food. 15 min to eat. He doesn't eat. Take the food. If he's hungry enough, he will eat. He growls you might have to give him a couple good whoopings. The key is, you can't let them win. It's all consistency and follow-through. It has to be...

    Criticism of road-glassing?

    I more was concerned about pissing someone off while there. For example: Here in NJ we get a lot of guys who will jump shoot ducks in the refuges (despite being against the regs).

    Criticism of road-glassing?

    I don't say this argumentatively but rather just genuinely wanting to know: What is more successful? Scouting out a specific piece of land where they are and getting in way early (or late, depending how you look at it) and going from there? I guess it's parsing words but road hunting to me was...

    Criticism of road-glassing?

    FNG from NJ here. Been branching out hunting since starting late at age 30. I primarily do coastal/tidal waterfowl, some turkey, went to S. Africa earlier this year and now am completely hooked. I think I really want to try a NR pronghorn hunt in WY for 2024. First off, by no way am I implying...

    Paintball gun as bear deterrent

    Gasoline or ammonia. My relatives in VA paint gasoline around the rim of their cans and they claim it works. A better, probably less likely way to set yourself on fire, is ammonia. Something that has no problem eating a feces-filled baby diaper, whole, might like a little bit hot sauce to help...

    Paintball gun as bear deterrent

    Didn't even bother reading after this because this is all you need to know. They won't stop coming back until the food source is eliminated. I am in NJ in an area with a lot, and I do mean a lot, of black bears. We have bear-proof cans. Ones they have not figured out how to open yet, at least...

    Cost to paint interior of house?

    Absolutely in the ballpark. Vaulted ceilings they add additional onto as well as drywall work (which you probably don't need). Friend had about that size house painted, inside, for $10k here in NJ. Little pricier. I had my family room with vaulted ceiling, stairs, open concepted diningroom...

    Ram/hemi guys - lifter issue

    I might have missed it but what year is the truck? Definitely not a manifold crack/bolt, unfortunately. You can hear the tempo change as the motor revs. I have a 2019 Rebel 5.7 and am constantly on the lookout for lifter issues as well. I currently have what they think is a cracked passenger...

    Help me choose a Duck gun

    Yeah those types of bargains are few and far between. I haven't seen much for $1000 or sub-$1000 that is capable of shooting 3.5" shells. I actually paid $999 for my Beretta A300 Xtrema in 2013, if memory serves me right. I don't shoot 3.5" anymore but if we end up in another ammo shortage, I'd...

    Help me choose a Duck gun

    I primarily hunt waterfowl here in NJ. 90% of my hunts are tidal salt marsh. You won't go wrong with either a Benelli or Beretta. The one gun that I have heard absolutely minimal problems with is the A-series Berettas. I have an A300 Xtrema which is no longer made. The gun probably has about...

    Is your next generation adding or losing hunters?

    I can't speak for my son, yet, but there's a pretty good chance he will fish/hunt. My family added a bunch to the pool. My father = not a hunter, but loves fishing. My brother = enjoys it, will go if invited (+1) Myself = love it, my only 2 hobbies are fishing/hunting (+1) My maternal uncle...

    Newbie here looking for insight next year.

    Almost as far as you can possibly be. NJ, unfortunately. I have some points saved up. Now I just need to figure out how the whole system works.

    Newbie here looking for insight next year.

    I'm actually in the same boat as you and will be following this closely. It seems there are ways to draw with no preference points. I am a NR and have 2 points saved up myself.

    FNG from NJ

    Yes, NJ (unfortunately). Late-start hunter. Started at 30. Mostly waterfowl at this point, went to S. Africa last May. Completely hooked. Looking to do a pronghorn hunt next.
