With this UPS cargo plane crash, I got to thinking.... My first experience with a plane crash was in middle school when a friend of mine lost his father in a fedex cargo plane crash. I remember the devastation it caused him and his mom and we remained friends all the way through high school...

I second the cerakote job. That is one thing I seem to fight on all my barrels of shotguns. Receivers, never an issue, just the barrels. I dont like camo guns, so they all start black for me. I end up always getting them cerakoted it seems. Did both my remingtons black but went with a brown on...

Invited to a little get together a few weeks back. The woman stopped to get some whiskey and coke for me as I like to sip it every so often at some get togethers (im really not a big drinker). Crown came out with some new flavors, and she knows I like coke zero. She asked if I wanted to try the...

When that M4 patent ran out, Remington made the wisest decision ever to copycat the internals. I was working in the gun industry when the versamax came on scene. I kept hearing the rumors from many reps before its release. When I finally got my hands on one, I didn't listen to any of the reps...

Just would propose a remington versamax instead is all..... lol. Cant beat the technology the marines have been using for the last 20 years or longer. A300 are supposed to be pretty superb shotguns though.

Im borrowing my buddy's for this hunt. He will be out there with me this go around. After shooting it though, I really want to add one to the gun safe. They're more fun than I ever gave them credit for. I have all the equipment to process the meat myself and will be doing it on this elk...

I really need to look into this. I rarely ship decoys, so ive been lazy. But I think next time I ship decoys, im going that route.

I shipped 6 decoys to cali ($105) and 6 to NY ($114). I traded duck calls for the 6 each I made, so its a fair trade I suppose since thats roughly the cost to buy the calls from these guys. But yes, shipping is outrageous!!! Its a big reason i dont make for sale and will do the occasional trade...

I second wetlander as mentioned by RM Anderson

I have looked hard and long at many blinds. So much I didnt even end up with one on my boat this season. Still need/want one as I think it could make my life easier. I dont generally hunt from a boat blind, but in recent years, I think it would actually open up possibilities for me. If I had to...

If i moved to the east coast... I would sell all my duck hunting stuff and retire in a hurry lol. I would probably still find ways to goose hunt though.

Also, there are those every week gunners (myself now), and then there are those that were like me who figured out times of year and where to be based on water levels and temperature and they know when to be out. Ive played the game so long, i have a good idea on areas of this part of the country...

Eric, I am no where near retired and no idea when that day comes or why it will come. Its a funny game, and ive seen MANY hardcore hunters leave the game over time. Its funny, as ive been playing this game, in my area of the country, for 20ish years now. Ive seen some really good hunters just...

Truck goes in next Monday to finally get fixed. It has to be fixed before December for the elk hunt. If the shop cant guarantee it, might push it off longer myself. I decided not to chase fowl yesterday, and instead, get the muzzleloader ready for that hunt. Shes sighted in and was able to hit...

Season transition. Taking longer to get colder and people are planting later and later every spring.

No thanks! Too close. Im good! Hope you killed both lol.

Its absurd! No snakes need to be out this time of year. Our first day out it was 78 degrees this last weekend. I was in shorts under my waders. Absolutely stupid! Kinda nice waking up to 27 outside this morning. Wont last too long, but finally cooling off.

They need to be denned up! I dont like a rattler and Duck hunters shouldnt have to deal with them. Go to bed and stay there until after season. Its unfortunate but it stays warmer longer and colder longer. Seasons are changing. Might be time to get the feds to change the fowl season from Nov 1...

ya it finally cooled off here. Going to warm back up next two days. Future forecast shows it finally cools off here like 11/20 - 11/22. So thats when Ill get real serious about it. Honestly though, if there isnt weather on the ground, birds find ways to keep water open in freezing conditions. So...

Not sure, but I would imagine some do. Snakes swim pretty darn good. I will never forget I was scouting a lake many years ago, had to pee so bad so I pulled over, jumped out and did my business. I climbed back in the boat and a rattler was trying to slither in the boat, all i could see was the...
