    Icebreaker 100% Merino Questions

    My wife has one icebreaker top and a bunch of meriwool. She wears her stuff all the the and washes/dries or like normal clothes. Both have held up very well for the 5+ years she's had them. I also have meriwool base layers I use for hunting and snow skiing, but I don't wash mine near as often...

    Too Picky

    Get a doe tag and shoot that for meat. Also if you are going to pass a buck, you have to do it with the understanding that you might not another chance at a better buck, so you have to be willing to have tag soup. Shoot what makes you happy. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

    Saddle Comfort

    I cut up one of those foam kneel pads and zip tied it inside my phantom. Now it's awesome for all day sits. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

    Rabbit w/o dogs

    As far a sitting waiting for them, I believe they are mostly nocturnal and hunkered down during the day, but I'm far from a rabbit expert. I did the busting brush technique growing up. But I know I only ever saw them out of cover at night. Maybe they still move around in decent cover during the...

    Share your smoker, and a favorite recipe

    I made my own charcoal/wood smoker. Only problem is it's a little big (which I wanted for summer sausage) so it takes a decent amount of wood/ charcoal to run. For those charcoal/ wood guys complaining about maintaining temperature, you can buy a cheap PID temp controller on Amazon and then...

    Oklahoma bill looks to DOUBLE non-resident cost

    Resident iowa hunters have risen up and that outfitter bill has been killed. That was a horrible bill that was unleashing a slippery slope of gobbling up thousands of acres of hunting land into outfitter leases. It's not the state doing this, it's lobbyists paid for by a minority, often not...

    Iowa and EHD

    You're best bet would be to call the local DNR officer. It looks like that would be Hunter McAninch 309-470-0788. Chris Flynn is van Buren County, so he might be able to give info also 641-919-9115. They should be able to give a decent report on EHD, although they are somewhat limited to what...

    Iowa and EHD

    I live in iowa, but know nothing about shimek state forest. All I know about EHD in the southern part of the state is what I read on the link provided above. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

    Iowa and EHD

    https://iowawhitetail.com/community/threads/ehd.64049/ This is probably your best source for affected areas. I know Guttenberg, IA area got hit pretty hard also that isn't mentioned on that thread (eastern part of state). Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

    Iowa and EHD

    It's very regional, even within zones. Parts of the south got hit hard, the east had some. I would say if you had multiple hunting spots worked out within a zone (assuming you are going to south), you should be able to adjust to unaffected areas. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

    Your 2024 Elk Hunt

    Back on topic, I was applying for limited entry Utah but decided I was throwing my money away after about 6 or 7 years. With all the point creepy and changes for tags in all the states out west, I'm starting to think I should just go once and pay for a guided hunt. Any recommendations on that...

    Your 2024 Elk Hunt

    Just for clarification, altitude sickness and dehydration are two different issues. Being at altitude requires you to increase water intake due to increased "dehydration factors", but that is not altitude sickness. Dehydration causes headaches and altitude sickness causes headaches, but other...

    College, Car, and Home Costs for Our Kids

    As far as women in trades, I'd say it's because women don't want to do those jobs more so than the men won't let them in. My sister in law operates construction equipment in Chicago. She can basically work for whoever she wants and probably gets paid more because she's a woman. I'm sure it...

    College, Car, and Home Costs for Our Kids

    I recently found some of my old tuition bills. I think this was a fall semester 99 and fall semester 2000, UM Rolla and out of state tuition. Sent from my SM-G973U1 using Tapatalk

    College, Car, and Home Costs for Our Kids

    Assemblers on our line are currently making what an entry level (recent college grad) engineer currently make. Believe me, new engineers with their student loan debt are aware of that fact. Skilled trade jobs are paying well and the huge rise in in college tuition the last 20 years isn't...
