    When Was The First....

    I got a beagle for my birthday when I was 6 or 7. He was going to be my hunting dog. I named him Ringo. My first ever trip out rabbit hunting. Ringo got after a deer. My dad told me to stand still and he would be back. Half hour later I heard 2 shotgun blasts and my old man came walking back up...

    Where would you move to if you had your choice of any western State to live in?

    If you were a smart saver and have a hefty retirement savings, I would advise you to relocate to where houses are still "affordable" and you can save the most on taxes and use that savings to go on two or three guided hunts per year and avoid the nonsense of the draws. I wouldn't relocate to...

    Would you rather?!

    Begging for information CONSTANTLY AND PUBLICLY is the wrong way to go about things IMHO. This is 100% what you do and contribute next to nothing to any Internet forum you are a part of. But like I said, clearly it works for you. To the point actually where I dont even know how you could...

    Would you rather?!

    TN911, I notice things. I dont pay much attention to them but nevertheless... For instance, I notice that you offer little to the forum and mostly ask a lot of questions very specific about specific units for the world to see....its kinda annoying. Could you not do this by PM so every unit or...

    comparing the noise levels of 20 diff fletching options

    Helical Fletch make a lot of noise compared to a straight Fletch? Do you have a decibal meter to compare the two? That would be a cool test to see. Straight vs helical. BTW this was well put together. Good job.

    Wish you the best of luck with that moose tag. I know a guy who went and got skunked after applying for over 30 years. Make sure your guide is reputable.....he didnt vet him.

    17 Remington

    When I was a young kid I wanted a ruger #1 Varminter in 220 swift pretty bad. Never gathered up enough money to buy one and then they stopped making them. I also had a 17 HMR when they were the hottest buzz 15 years ago. It was a NEF bull barrel. It was pretty accurate out to 100 yards but...

    I'm right there with you. It wouldn't hurt my feelings if I didn't even draw anything this year. I got way too much going on as it is.

    Summer Scouting?

    I spend so much money on gas during hunting season that if I scouted all summer I would be broke by hunting season. Your not going to "Keep Tabs" on a deer in GA very easily. Its too hot and there are too many copperheads to rattlesnakes down here to be boon-docking during the summer in these...

    17 Remington

    I knew an older gentlemen who had a .17 fireball. He had to carry a ramrod with him and some cleaning patches when he shot woodchucks because after about 10 shots the barrel was so fouled that it threw bullets everywhere. He told me that wind drift was a pretty significant factor as well. I...

    Fishing has been very slow. Water needs to get hot before we get after the crappies very good. Been doing some bowfishing. I was up your way (kinda sorta) in Illinois at my deer lease last weekend hanging stands. Next time I go up I hope to have my bow in my hand.

    The look that you have when your group of 6 goes into the draw with 6 points each. Then the next morning your buddy tells you that he "may have forgotten to apply for preference points last year" so he only had 5. But he "thought he had 6"....

    We only caught 18 crappie last weekend. Somehow we missed the spawn here in GA. Once that water gets up into the 80's I know how where they move to and we will get on them again.
