    If the item you purchased is in stock it will be shipped......eventually. They're in business but they have some of the worst business practices/customer service you will find.

    Never going to kill another Elk like this again....

    The meat is absolutely the goal for me as well. Our family lives on wild game and that's how I was raised. I have 3 freezers in the garage and try to keep them well stocked with whitetails and anything else. I wouldn't expect to come shoot some giant, I think any elk with a bow would be a trophy...

    Never going to kill another Elk like this again....

    Man, I have never killed one, but I've had a Bull Bugling 15 yards away from me and it's an out of body experience. It will send chills down your spine. I can't imagine the adrenaline of standing there with a Bow. That may rival mallard ducks for me, I sure want to find out. I need to start...

    Too hot… but finally pulling the trigger

    Funny you mention the rattler, I was helping my old man put up some deer stands yesterday and had a 5 foot black snake slither right between my legs. I was on the ground raising up the stand to him with a rope, so I was looking straight up. I heard the leaves rustle but didn't think anything...

    Marsh Stake for Staking out Boat during Tide Change

    Jode, that mud sure does look familiar. It's really fun when it gets a nice layer of ice over it and you have those "breakthrough" moments :ROFLMAO:

    Marsh Stake for Staking out Boat during Tide Change

    Reading these responses, I'm not really sure why I had it in my head I had to stake the boat to the bank. I'll be mobile with the kayak, so anchoring the boat out in the middle of a ditch is no problem. If I know tide is going to drop 4 or 5 feet, as long as I park the boat in 7+ feet of water...

    Marsh Stake for Staking out Boat during Tide Change

    This is the reason I am hunting in such a convoluted manner. If you step out of the boat you are toast. I've been stuck so bad before I literally thought I was going to have to call for emergency help. You don't realize how much buoyancy you get from the water to keep you from sinking in the...

    Marsh Stake for Staking out Boat during Tide Change

    Good morning gentlemen, As a few of you know I'm sort of in the middle of a TDB restoration that has snowballed into quite the undertaking. Other priorities have gotten in the way and the boat won't be ready for this season. My idea for this season is to bring my jon boat up to hunt the salt...

    Any Bankers or Loan Officers Here?

    Eric, I am no banker, but when I was in college and starting out I took out a vehicle loan from Lightstream. Application was all online and I had the money the next day. Interest rates get better the shorter the loan term is, but expect them to be steep with it being his first line of credit...

    November work bench

    I was gifted a beautiful walnut slab from a neighbor down the road. Over the next few weeks I need to turn this into our mantle piece for the new house. The plan is just a natural tung oil finish. The natural wavy grain in this slab of walnut is gorgeous.

    Need advice on shooting a .410 for ducks this year to reduce recoil

    Patrick, all you need to make the 410 loads to your specs is a roll crimp tool and a small scale. Of course you will need a bag of 410 pre-primed hulls, powder, some tss shot, a bag of wads, overshot cards, and a bag of the felt filler wads. Your initial cost in equipment will be about...

    Need advice on shooting a .410 for ducks this year to reduce recoil

    That half ounce charge of TSS won't work in a 20 gauge, trust me we have tried. With TSS being extremely dense the shot columns are ultra short. 1/2oz of TSS in a 20ga wad takes up little to no room. 5/8oz in a 20ga will work but it requires some serious fillers and wad trimming to take up...
