    Getting Your...Stuff...Together

    I whittled my hunting clothing down to fewer but better pieces that I can wear for multiple pursuits (e.g., I wear my duck hunting rain jacket when deer hunting in the rain), so I’m down to two easily-accessible totes. Hanging hooks from the ceiling or high up the walls is a great way to handle...

    Wtb tanned deer hide

    I’m holding onto mine, but as a heads up, I paid my taxidermist about $200 to tan and prep the hide (hair on) of a big late season doe I shot a few years back. Definitely pricier than I thought.

    Mesh Base Layer Test

    I just saw a very interesting YouTube video (linked here) comparing mesh base layers (like what Wiggy's sells) vs. more traditional base layers. The tests were very limited, so not enough to declare a definitive winner in my mind, but it was certainly enough to sway my opinion a bit. Figured...

    Is Lee Ellis the best to do it?

    Yes, I think he’s one of the best out there. He’s completely obsessed, and he’s found a way to earn a living that enables him to do this full-time, which makes it all the more impressive to me.

    2024-2025 Waterfowl Thread

    I’m partial to Black Cloud steel #3s because I’m cost-conscious and can’t afford the fancier stuff or hand loads. If I could afford it, I’d shoot TSS (probably 4 or 6). I’ll note that this is out of my Remington 870 12 gauge with a Carlson’s Mid-Range Extended Choke , and this is geared toward...

    Cheap Walk In Cooler

    My old man and I have done a very similar process, minus hanging them overnight because we’re in the south where it isn’t cold enough. But soaking the rough-butchered meat in icy salt water for one to two weeks has always yielded fantastic meat quality for us. We drain out the bloody water...

    Shout-out to Browning Trail Cams

    I put out a Browning Strike Force Extreme (not a cell cam) on November 10, 2023 on public land about 45 minutes away from me, loaded with 6 Duracell AAs and a basic 32GB memory card. I kind of forgot about it and honestly figured it would probably get stolen anyway, so I didn’t get around to...

    New First Lite Whitetail line. Anyone have any info?

    Literally my only hesitation on going with the Walnut over a camo pattern is because I'd want to be able to use it for early season spring turkey hunting, where I personally believe camo matters a TON more than in deer season...

    Anybody out squirrel hunting?

    Not a dumb question at all! There are a surprising number of strategies and nuances to squirrel hunting, and there is always more to learn (much like hunting other game). Here are a few tips: I like to hunt with a suppressed .22LR with a 4x power scope. With that setup, head-shooting...

    Big family get together. Venison cooking ideas

    Some sort of jalapeno popper is cliche, but it's popular for a reason. Hard to go wrong there. It's not so much a Christmas-y dish, but hands-down my family's favorite venison dish is venison fajitas. Super easy to prepare, you can prep all the ingredients ahead of time so you're not away...

    First lite Core jacket and bibs

    Bumping this up for consideration, as I'm really torn between getting the Core FL set or the Sitka Stratus set for my mid-to-late-season outerwear here in middle Tennessee...

    2024-2025 Waterfowl Thread

    Agree with others on rigging. I only have a dozen or so decoys, so using about 5 feet of string and the J-weight that you wrap around the keel works well for me, and I put adjustable string stoppers on there, so I can easily hunt water from 12 inches to 4+ feet. If I was going to run a spread...
