Wigwam. I have some too and they're great socks. Funny enough, also from my MIL...

I'll have to check when we get back home after this weekend, but brushing helps a ton for our little rescue mutt. His breath smelled like pogie oil. It was bad.

Is there a bunch of plaque buildup? Have you tried brushing his teeth?

No idea on price, but that was what my son started with and killed his first few deer. He's the 4th generation to hunt with it. Cool gun and great for a young hunter especially - pretty limited on range.

Spoons taste fine to me. Don't see enough ring necks to have a real opinion.

back all the way up to the point right before I would brake bump it into the water, tie my bow line to the furthest back pile it will reach, and then push it off the trailer by hand or bump it. It ain’t pretty on a two wide launch, but it gets the job done safely.


Launch mine solo all the time and do pretty much exactly this. As mentioned, not pretty, but it works well and I don't care.

It takes a lot of effort to be a "legal" outdoorsman in this country these days. Ridiculous.

It is for most. Good for you and your group, but it's not the norm (NR or Res).

Bit further south, but have been twice with Quepos Fish Adventure out of Quepos Marina (was staying in Manuel Antonio both times). Once for Sails and once for Roosters inshore. Had a great trip for both.

Look at the fish caught by month for the areas and plan based on what you want to catch. Can vary a lot.

high license cost just means I'm going to shoot as many legal deer as I'm allowed to over there. I get my money's worth.


LA hunters in MS in a nutshell right there!

Fact. Drive down Hwy90 on a Saturday and you're likely to see more LA plates than MS.

I dont think its a scam. There is a good chance ive eaten deer with it before based on the areas I hunt. I dont think id knowingly eat one that was positive. CJD is a pretty damn terrifying disease.


I'm in this camp. I don't really think about it much, but I wouldn't intentionally eat a CWD positive deer.

Drove from Dubrovnik to Perast


Did Dubrovnik > Perast > Kotor > Mostar > Dubrovnik 2 years ago and really enjoyed it. I believe the traffic can get horrible in the summer months, especially at the borders. We went in April - had amazing weather and little crowd. Easy, beautiful drives.

Completely agree, but you never know what you don't know. Maybe you have something lurking that hasn't been diagnosed yet. Just saying. I'm typically the "rub some dirt on it" type, but as I get older I at least TRY to think about it :lol:
I've seen these and assume they are similar to Gulp. What are y'all using them to catch?
