That is brilliant, man, brilliant! A heater in the bathroom... Last year we camped overnight at a hawking meet with temps in single digits and a howling wind. No lights on in the outhouse, so I...

Forecasted highs in the 40's and lows in the 20's. One of my hunting buddies decided he is coming along, so I'm even more excited. This is going to be a great adventure.
I bought Cabelas brand to use for hawking because I didn't have enough brush pants to wear every day. Plus, they are nice to just pop on and off over jeans.
The cabelas brand ones are light and...
It is definitely tricky when you're walking up to an obstacle. If it's a shelterbelt, you could try zigzagging so you get a little time at each side. If you only cover one, it is a guarantee they...
It's almost time!
A loooooong time ago, some friends and I camped overnight in March, crappie fishing, and Winter decided to give one final blast that night. I shivered so hard all night I couldn't fall asleep at...
Heater... Check!
"Bored out of my mind" sounds amazing. A few days of peace and quiet and no schedule is exactly what I need.
I'm planning a 4-day, 3-night trip around KS pheasant country. Looking for an adventure more than just a hunting trip, so I've decided to tent camp. I'm planning to hunt during the day and then set...
I enjoy the sage country. Desolate and rugged country. Hopefully you didn't pick up anything from your old friends at the Nevada houses... Haha!
If you're looking for a finished or near-finished dog, you don't need any guidance from us. The breed shouldn't matter too much, really. If it does a good job on pheasants and you like the dog,...
Just waiting on a bit of cool weather. Get a few more leaves off the trees and give me some nice, low overnight temps to help cool down the meat. I'm definitely ready to put arrows in a buck and a...
It's a lot of walking and very little shooting. Great for getting yourself and the dogs toned up and in fighting form for upland season. Option B is to pattern the chickens and then just hide and...
16-year-old hunters should be looking for adult mentors. And if a kid asks to go hunting, we should take them. Honestly, a 16 year old probably has a WAAAAAY better chance of knocking on a door and...
I was going to mention the same thing. We had a couple strays, (probably dumped), that our kids tamed and claimed. They ultimately died of the bobcat tick disease. It's pretty lethal.
My kids...
I really like putting a deer or two in the freezer. I have a bow, a gun, and a few tree stands. I mostly shoot does and forks, whatever comes by first when the weather is good so I can let the deer...
I would definitely need some brown water before trying to fall asleep on top of that dog kennel! My back hurts just thinking about it. haha...
I let the dogs run loose (no kennel) inside my...
Congrats on your retirement. The last couple years I have incorporated tent camping into my hunting and it has been a lot more fun than staying in a hotel (when the weather is decent). I imagine...
More than OK, that's perfect. I don't need sticks, tennis balls, or socks... My last couple dogs have been great bird retrievers, but wouldn't chase a tennis ball more than 2 steps. Priorities.
I don't know about the birds, but the mosquitos and frogs are doing great. You might need waders and/or a boat if you want to check certain fields around here. No joke, there is a lot of water. ...
I have shared similar sentiments about red tailed hawks benefitting quail because they displace coops and sharpshins, and eat a lot of snakes and rats, but it's always been a hard sell. People don't...
I definitely don't go looking for trouble, but it is surprising how many times a road will appear to be good gravel at the intersections, but once you start down it, it turns to garbage down the way....
Does anyone run M/Ts full time? I feel like I would be wasting them for 2/3 of the year, just scrubbing them off on the pavement. But I bet it is nice having them on some of our garbage mud roads...
WHOA! only 10K miles? I would be pretty furious on that one. That's my issue with the Nittos to a lesser degree. I'm only at 25K miles now, but I know they will not see another winter.
Dakotazeb & Birdguy, I was on my second set of Hankook Dynapros when I sold my F-150. I would describe them about how you guys did. A good, reasonably priced tire... And I really like the Peerless...
Looks like I will need new tires on my 4runner this Winter. I hunt usually 4 days a week from October-February. The afternoon trips are usually only 30ish miles one way, but I will also burn a...
