Decent blood trail on a doe I shot with the Leverevolution last year, but nothing spectacular. Tore up her insides real good.

I've carried a Leatherman Skeletool for 10 years now. I don't think I could ever go back to just a pocketknife. It carries like one, though.

Dual track, multi section sliding windows (if that makes sense). Can open as little or as much as needed, and do so in different areas of the window.

Thanks! It is a great buck, but wasn't the biggest of our group. They have some hammers up there!

Went to central Nebraska with some guys that come down here alligator hunting with us. Got to meet their families, see some beautiful country, and take a decent buck. Was a great trip.

Flat-back horse water/food bucket, drill hole near bottom on flat side (I think it's a 1 1/8" hole), insert 1500w water heater element, secure with 1" conduit nut on inside, wire to a short piece of extension cord.
I have a full tutorial in the stickied thread at the top of the Board. The pictures have disappeared (I guess because I used postimages to host them). I have tweaked my process since then, mainly adding steps at the end to fully degrease the skull. I may still have the pictures that go along with the thread, and will possibly update it if anyone needs pics.

Yep! Haha. It only took about a week for me to find these, but that could've been luck too

Do it. Great little deer gun for up to 100 yards or so. I love the old carbines. I have the Ruger 44 mag, and the Marlin Camp 9 and Camp 45. I'd see if you can get it for 600 or so.
ETA: I do hunt with the 44 with Leverevoltion ammo. The two camp carbines get shot very seldom, but I just like em

The Tangipahoa River just got re-opened. Lee's Landing marina is a free, public launch. It's about a 15 minute ride through the swamp (most all of it is Joyce WMA) before you get to where the camps start. Another 5 minute ride will get you to Lake Pontchartrain, where the sandbar for swimming is (out of the mouth of the river to the right).
I grew up down there, and still have a camp on the water. Spend most weekends there, but not so much now during hunting season.

Nocpix Thermal Scope
Posted by bootlegger on 10/28/25 at 10:31 am
Been pondering the idea of getting a thermal scope for some short range (~100yds) hog hunting a few times a year at the lease. Seems Pulsar gets lots of love here, and a friend has a Thermion 2 XQ50. He recently picked up and Nocpix Slim l35, and says it was cheaper and clearer than the Pulsar. I haven't heard much about them, so wanted to see if anyone here had any opinions.

We use a ground-druven one like in your link, but with a poly hopper. One less thing to rust. Wash the whole thing with soap and water after use, let dry, then coat in WD40.

MissLou Trackers. Tripp and Sampson are the best dogs around. Called em more than I wanna admit, but ya owe it to the deer when you question a shot. Them dogs will either get the deer, or back out if it's gonna live. They have a facebook page, or I can post a number if anyone needs it.
