    Best socks

    Duluth Trading makes the most comfortable socks I've ever tried. Their Merino wool socks are my go to socks when I'm wearing boots in colder weather. I believe they're sold as Merino Wool Fast Dry socks. Everything I have ever bought from that company has been top notch. Also recommend...

    Does anyone know a concrete guy

    Tough time of year to be starting a project like this. Those guys are already up against the clock trying to finish work they bid last spring and promised would be done before the first frost this fall. Your best bet in finding a good, local contractor would be to visit your nearest...

    Deer Classic Big Buck Contest

    That may very well be the case. I should reword my original post to read like this: be very cognizant during the registration process at the Classic as you may inadvertently opt to include your deer on the DNR's list of trophies I don't recall how many forms I signed or checkboxes I ticked...

    Deer Classic Big Buck Contest

    Once you enter a deer at the Classic it is simultaneously registered with the DNR and listed online in their recordbook history. It will forever be associated with your name and the county of harvest.

    what is the pope and young record for your county

    I have a couple deer on that list. I didn't have any idea I was on there until a friend of a friend asked about it a few years back. I had taken both bucks to the Classic and after entering them in that event they were both registered on this list. I would suspect that's how most of the deer...

    Hunting public land

    I like scouting out public. I have access to some awesome private ground as well but like trying to hunt public early in the season. There have been years where I've actually turned my focus to public during the rut because of patterning nice deer and low pressure. Get out and hang some...

    O/T Art cleaning

    I recently acquired some prints that came from a smoker's home. They are all framed/matted and smell like they came out of a bar. My wife and I wiped down the frames and cleaned the glass on the prints and the rags were brown/yellow/black from the tar and smoke. A couple of the prints are...

    Women advice

    The angle you should be working is to plant the seeds for a heated, finished shop. All you tools, projects, and belongings can live there including your mounts. Once that GF becomes your wife she will appreciate you not hanging around all the time and you'll both be happy you've got the...

    New Project......

    Nice work. I also hunt a few spots that are over a mile walk in and have been using an old mountain bike I bought off Craigslist to get to and from the road. I sweat a lot less just idling along on the bike than walking and my socks stay dryer...feet stay warmer longer on stand. I have been...

    Stumpage

    Does anybody here have an online resource that can give a guy an idea of stumpage prices or at least trends? Better yet, has anybody sold hickory or black cherry logs recently? A farm I hunt has a draw full of nice trees, especially cherry, that is going to get dozed this spring for ag...

    public land encounters

    This fall I was hunting a small piece of public ground that I rarely see other people using. I have access to the back side of the public through a farmer's field that allows really easy stand access. Getting to that stand from the public entrance wouldn't even be worth getting there. As I...

    Burr Paw at the Classic

    My wife bought one last year and gave it to me on father's day. Thing works great on everything I run into...nettles, beggar's lice, burrs...takes them all off in a short amount of time. I think it works better if you're wearing the garment and keeping tension on the cloth. The wife met me in...

    pulling treestands?

    We usually pull all our stands the weekend before shotgun season. We hunt a mix of public and private and don't want anything disappearing...we also don't want to have any sweet spots identified because a stand is still sitting in a tree. The thought of some guy from the orange army rolling...

    Youth Model Muzzleloaders

    Both my kids have Traditions Pursuit Ultralight XLT's topped with Nikon's. They are shooting 60 gr. of Blackhorn behind a 250gr. Hornady SST. The load is light enough to produce about 1/2 the recoil of a 20 gauge slug gun but is absolutely deadly out to 75 yards. My boy started shooting this...
