Axil gs 2.0 are awesome. The wireless ear buds suck.
My preference for what I do is Gator Tail, but now that the Pro Drive has instant reverse and the 50 is out, it would be a tougher decision if I had to do it over again.

My recommendation is to focus on whoever is closer to you for warranty work. But pro drive is the best if you want to spend a lot of time in thick mud.

If I was building one I would buy some of the replacement windows for the sportsman’s condo: https://sportsmanscondo.com/project/replacement-windows

re: Lab with really bad breath

I have two labs, an 11 year old and a 3 year old. The 11 year old has pretty bad breath. His teeth look cleaner than the 3 year old’s. They’ve been raised the same way and eat the same food. I don’t know what it is but I just enjoy it while I can.
Did anyone beat you out there?

Would have called the sheriff


Sheriff was called but they were out of there before they showed up. I believe they got pictures of the boats though.

ETA: Sheriff found them.
Good luck with that.

ETA: I meant that sincerely, but with a dose of pessimism because I don’t have a lot of hope for courtesy from some of the new “duck hunters” out there.

Also my dad told some guys to get off our lease this morning before daylight. They acted like they were going to comply but continued to hunt and got mouthy when they were ran off the second time. So private isn’t even safe.

these guys make an excellent point about moving around without a vehicle


Are people really moving their trailers around by hand that much?

Personally, a big trailer comes in handy for a lot of things for me. If I was doing a lot of traveling with something that might justify having a bigger trailer, I would spend the extra money. It also makes room for additional cargo.

But it’s easy for me to tell someone they should spend more money.

It’s deadly for sure, but I wouldn’t want to use it if I didn’t have relatively clear terrain. A deer running 25 yards without blood where I’m at might mean not finding one.

That is an interesting thread on rokslide though. I love reading terminal ballistic reports… I just wish more people would be a bit more descriptive in the results sometimes.

It sucks but if they’re hardworking and focus on what they can control, they’ll be alright. There are people in this world that will always find a way to be successful, and I can guarantee they aren’t going to be the ones sitting around feeling sorry for themselves.

Everybody would be better off focusing on what’s in their control instead of comparing themselves to other people. Whether it’s other generations or other people’s possessions, somebody is always going to have it better than you.

Well, people on rokslide are using .223's exclusively for elk and grizzer bear. Oughta work alright for a deer, no?


It works great as long as you don’t need a blood trail to follow.

I’ve had to work but they have killed quite a bit of teal at the lease south of Houma.

Thanks to everyone who replied, I appreciate it!
I have this breaker: https://www.lowes.com/pd/Square-D-Homeline-20-Amp-1-Pole-Combination-Arc-Fault-Circuit-Breaker/3364904

Cleco has had some random power outages in the past few months and multiple breakers have tripped. This one doesn’t seem to want to reset immediately. The house is 4 years old. We’ve got quite a few things running on that circuit, but have never had an issue with it tripping due to an overload, just during a fair weather power outage. I have 3 Sonos amps running on this circuit. Even though they’re not playing any music, unplugging one seems to allow the breaker to be reset.

My question is, is it possible that I’ve just got too much running on this circuit to reset the breaker? Or is the breaker possibly wearing out and acting up?

Oh I can still hear great… I just hear a lot of ringing too sometimes. I think it was mainly from standing next to my buddy as he shot his 30-06 abolt with a boss.

You won’t like any electronic protection though. The best thing is to keep some earplugs around your neck and if you have time, put them in. If not, oh well.
Something with satellite imagery. Sorry I’m not much help. I put a low range hook 5 on mine back in 2017 but I doubt that’s what I would do now if I researched it. Not because I’ve had any issues, I’m just sure there are better options.

I won’t pretend that I leave a carcass cleaned down to the bone. Some meat goes to waste and I know I’m not alone. That being said, I do run my knife between the ribs and throw it in the burger pile.

You people are lazy. There is more to cooking duck than frying or grilling the breast.




There are ducks that I pluck and there are ducks that I breast. And just because I’m breasting them doesn’t mean I can’t save the legs. I think it’s great to encourage people to pluck ducks… but there’s a ton of recipes that are pretty difficult to make out of whole ducks. Sure, some meat goes to waste, but I guarantee more meat gets left on your average deer carcass than gets wasted by breasting out a limit of ducks.

It’s not black and white. And I guarantee I’m not breasting that dosgris because I’m lazy… it would be a whole lot easier to pluck than to try and get that skin off!
If everything is tied up in investments and you don’t have anything in cash it’s not a terrible idea to set a little cash aside for capitalizing on opportunities later. I’ve got around 10% in cash, and I’ve been able to make some purchases when opportunities arise. I’m probably not a whole lot better off than if I had left everything invested to begin with, but it helps me resist the urge to take all my profits out.

It really depends on what you want since it’s not retirement. Do you need to buy anything with that money in the near future? Are the taxes going to make sense?

I’m no expert, so don’t listen to me. But despite knowing and seeing the evidence that leaving things alone works out better in the long run, I still have to suppress the urge to try and time the market.
