    Dealing with Ticks

    If you're mixing your own permethrin for treating clothes, look for a concentrate without petroleum distillates. That's what makes the strong odor. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    And Out Come The Wolves

    I've looked into this a bit and to me it seems they haven't really brought back dire wolves. They made a very small number of edits to genes. I want to say it was 20 or so edits aimed at superficially changing appearance to more closely resemble dire wolves. The edits were apparently based on...

    Anyone run a Ghille Suit or Leafy top?

    Arcturus makes an orange leafy suit that you may be interested in. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    LIVE from the Saddle 2024

    I only got out a few times and it was a really bad year. I saw 4 deer total opening day if I count the 1 I jumped walking out. Way fewer shots opening day too. I didn't see or even hear any deer the rest of the season. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Cheap Walk In Cooler

    I was actually looking at this type of thing. My wife got a deer this year on a warm day and had to scramble and struggle to get it quartered up and in a cooler same day. It sure would have been nice to just hang it up and deal with it when there was more time. I've also wanted to try dry aging...

    Recovering bow shot whitetails

    I love this book and re-read it before every season. Can't recommend it enough. I would just add that you can buy it direct from the late author's website. I assume they probably get more profit that way, but that's just a guess on my part. https://born-to-track.com/store/books/ Sent from my...

    Good Luck Michigan Guys and other states with a gun opener this weekend.

    Yesterday was opener for me. My wife and I hunt an 80 acre private parcel. I took a more circuitous route to my spot to avoid putting scent where she was hunting. That turned out to be a mistake. It was tough to be quiet with all the leaves and walking downhill. I blew at least one deer out when...

    What's going on at AeroHunter?

    I was looking at the Revo, but figured I'd wait for them to get out in the wild and see what the feedback was. Then they closed. I would have just pulled the trigger if I had known it was going to be my last opportunity. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Question about permethrin

    I do, but am having a hard time finding the concentrate I prefer. A lot have petroleum distillates and a very strong smell even after it dries. The first one I tried was so bad the smell would give me a headache if I wore the clothes indoors. The concentrate I usually use has a slight smell...

    Aero hunter comeback?

    Same. It's not minimalist by any stretch, but I still really like my Kestrel. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    Aero hunter comeback?

    Hmmm. I'm not sure what to think here. On the one hand if they re-released some of their classic designs and they were made with the same quality, I'd happily pick one up. However, I'm not interested in much of their later stuff. Sent from my SM-G975U using Tapatalk

    2024 Getting/Staying In Shape Motivation Thread

    If you're very active, have significant muscle mass, and are maintaininy where you currently are you don't need a caloric deficit. Many athletes trying to gain muscle deliberately overeat to put on both muscle and fat with a plan to drop the fat later. That's not the scenario I'm referring to...

    2024 Getting/Staying In Shape Motivation Thread

    Perhaps you mean something else by your phrasing, but a caloric deficit is necessary to lose weight. It's the only way it will happen. Cutting out junk food and eating better may make that easier, but 500 extra calories every day will make you gain weight whether they're from brown rice and...

    2024 Getting/Staying In Shape Motivation Thread

    IMHO, diet is critical. The only way to lose weight is to create a caloric deficit. There's multiple ways you can do that, but at the end of the day that's what it comes down to. If you want a sobering reminder, look at the ballpark estimate of how many calories running a mile burns at your...
