    Kayak Landing Gear

    I have used a cart like that a time or two. I fished with a guy that had the boondocks landing gear, and it was sick as could be, so this is my copy of it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Well, this doesn’t look nearly as redneck with a coat of paint on it.. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Kayak Landing Gear

    If I end up compromising the roto-molding, I may just be forced to upgrade to a heavier duty 12.8 or 14’ kayak… I’m not carrying much weight on the wheels for 99% of the use. Just the kayak itself, a backpack, and a recurve. The only time it will be loaded up is when harvesting an animal. With...

    Kayak Landing Gear

    The thought on that was not having to buy new hardware for the wheel [emoji1787]. The wheels came with grade 8 bolts, washers, and lock nuts… but the bolts weren’t long enough to accommodate the thickness of the tube steel. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Kayak Landing Gear

    Well, I decided to get back into hunting from my kayak. I am starting with pig hunting and crappie/white bass season. I think it is kind of crazy that I hunted more from water access when I didn’t even own a canoe/kayak than I have in the past 3 years of owning a kayak. I previously BORROWED...

    Figured I’d throw in a pic of each hike out. First is a full elk hind quarter… Second is the entire buck… Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    MR Metcalf

    I have to throw in my recommendation for the Metcalf… I picked one up a few years ago for a long back-country hike in expectation of future western hunts. That back-country hike was a 5 day hike in alpine altitudes and the pack worked flawlessly for what I needed. Fast forward to 2023, and I...

    Hog hunting Help

    The eastern 1/3 of Texas is very similar. If you’re east of the Texas dry line (stretches from Wichita Falls down to about Austin) all you need to do is find any river bottom or reservoir floodplain that is open to hunting and you will get on them pretty easy. Back when I used the kayak for...

    Oklahoma bill looks to DOUBLE non-resident cost

    Man, why didn’t I think of hunting my own state… that solves everything… [emoji849] Considering that there are only 3 pieces of public hunting ground on the north side of the Dallas/Fort Worth area servicing a metropolitan population of 7 MILLION people, there isn’t much room on those...

    Oklahoma bill looks to DOUBLE non-resident cost

    Bag limit reduction per hunter is what is proposed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oklahoma bill looks to DOUBLE non-resident cost

    Well, your state will lose out on an absolute TON of license money, as well as a large amount of ancillary expenditures as well if passed. I would bet that this drops non-resident numbers by at least 40%. Considering that your public land is funded by percent of tag sales, it could wreck your...

    Oklahoma bill looks to DOUBLE non-resident cost

    $600 for a whitetail tag that isn’t a bucket list place (like Iowa) is outrageous to me. I already camp 15-20 days a year in Oklahoma during season, there is no cutting costs further than peddling the truck instead of using gas. Also, Oklahoma charges their $300 nonresident fee for EACH METHOD...

    Oklahoma bill looks to DOUBLE non-resident cost

    The senator who sponsored the bill listed “too many non-residents” on WMA’s as the motivating factor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oklahoma bill looks to DOUBLE non-resident cost

    I like that. Texas should up our non-resident fee to match Oklahoma’s… but only for Oklahoma residents. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Hunting related 3D print files???

    I totally understand the feeling of not wanting to do work related things outside of work. After 12 years in the aviation industry, personal travel is THE LAST thing I want to do on my days off. Unfortunately, travel is my wife’s love language… [emoji1787] Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Oklahoma bill looks to DOUBLE non-resident cost

    An Oklahoma state senator is looking to Double The tag prices (making a deer license $600), and reduce the bag limits BY HALF, for all nonresident hunters to “reduce the number of nonresidents on WMA’s”...

    Hunting related 3D print files???

    Where’s the best place to find hunting related 3D print files? Thingiverse, Makerworld, cults3D, etc… seem to have very limited options or I just can’t find the right keyword groups to find good parts. My brother recently got a BambuLab X1 Carbon and is more than willing to print parts for free...

    What did you learn this hunting season?

    I learned a few things. 1.) I have been working on a small piece of family land, converting it back to native habitat. I learned that there is a break-over point where the habitat just sort of switches from not holding deer to holding them. 5 years of habitat work, and the deer numbers this...

    First buck in 100 years…

    That video I posted earlier had some footage of a hole I cut through an interior fence, and a video of a couple of the 9 or 10 cedar trees I removed to get equipment and a fire break through. The resident doe group wasted no time using it. This video is 12 hours after cutting the gap. They came...

    First buck in 100 years…

    Well, I think I may have a target buck for next year if he can make a couple more weeks. This 8 has been pretty regular on the farm this fall. Almost all night time, or very near night time activity. Hopefully I can coax him into the daylight. I can’t imagine how nice he could be next year. That...
