    First fowl in 10+ years...

    After getting divorced and being a single dad for a long time, and all the kids sporting events through high-school, finally got out and did some duck hunting this weekend. It's been a long long time, and I wouldn't change a thing about my family. It was good to get out this weekend though...

    Thoughts on rangefinding binoculars...Anybody use them?

    Seems like a good idea...less weight, all-in-one design. But the good rangefinding binos (Swaro/Zeiss/Leica) get pricy. Pros and cons?

    Better group from my 7mm Rem Mag?

    Didn't really need a new gun, but back in the day I won two fantasy football leagues and had $1k burning a hole in my pocket. Being a lefty meant my choices were limited. Found a beautiful left-handed Winchester model 70, 7mm Rem Mag on Gunbroker and sealed the deal for right around $600...

    Time for new hunting pants

    Need new pants for deer and turkey hunting. My "go-to" are old camo / cotton 6 pocket BDU type pants. Years ago my Mom sewed shoelaces in the bottoms, so I can cinch them down over my boots. They are roomy, comfy, and have been patched more than a few times. Here is what I deer/turkey hunt...

    1st Mule Deer - Nebraska

    I've only been chasing Mule deer the past three years. Concentrate on Nebraska's Sandhill region...absolutely love the area. And while my Uncle has a ranch in the Sandhills, I would never dream of asking permission...their tradition is a "family deer camp" for rifle season. So I hunt public...

    Size 8 hats??

    Cabela's used to make XXXL fitted hunting hats...thankfully I picked up a few before they discontinued. I wear a size 8 hat (buddy says, "you don't have a forehead...you have a SIX-head!") Filson makes a nice hat, as does Stormy Kromer. Any other options out there?

    What magazines (if any) do you subscribe to?

    I haven't subscribed to hunting magazines in over 10 years, find it easier to google search for the information I need. I've subscribed to Wildfowl, Field and Stream, Outdoor Life in the past. Really liked a magazine put out by Columbia sportswear company in the 1980's and early 90's (I...
