And they are the nicest people to deal with , from Will helping you on the floor, to the ladies at the register, and the guys loading you up in the warehouse, first class all the way around

Gatlin’s price list this year, I don’t think you can find it much cheaper

You can buy mountain house freeze dried meals at cabelas and on line , they actually have some that are pretty decent and only need 2 cups of boiling water

but for an over night trip in November you have lots of options

Have each kid premake a foil dinner (meat and veggies seasonings and a slab of butter , wrap it in a foil pouch, freeze and then put in a zip lock and throw in pack, by dinner time it will be partially defrosted, take out of the zip lock and throw in the hot coals

Freeze some hot dogs or sausage links and cook em on a stick over the fire

.38 Special in a snub nose revolver with double tap rat shot

I carry it with me all the time at the camp, very small and fits in pocket well and is deadly on snakes and other critters

agree, the coon population has definitely benefited the most (as well as the feed stores)with the liberal "supplemental feeding " regulations (and therefore hurt the turkey population in my opinion)

Corn has very little nutritional value


ehh, it is certainly not good as the sole source of nutrition, but ~7% protein and full of carbs for energy especially in the cold months that ultimately turn to fat when not used for quick energy it is not a bad supplement especially in addition to a good food plot

Look at the deer that forage in and around the Iowa corn fields, they look pretty healthy to me

And the ATF Form 4 returned and approved in under 48 hours

Hopefully these will become a thing of the past very soon

Elee suppressors in Gonzales

Posted by Tigerpaw123 on 9/15/26 at 7:08 pm
They were recommended to me and I stopped by today , Ethan is the owner and was extremely knowledgeable about everything to do with a suppressor and did not mind sharing his knowledge, hooked me up with 2 suppressors and handled all the paperwork, highly recommend him
He makes all of his suppressors on site and they are top notch quality and priced right!

So I went down a rabbit hole last night and entered a couple maps of my place (satellite, topographical etc) marked where my feeders , cameras and stands are, then started uploading trail cam pictures and asked Chat Gpt to correlate with weather and moon phases for that area……WOW!!! I guess this is like fishing with live scope

re: Manda

Posted by Tigerpaw123 on 9/8/26 at 5:38 pm to
okay, I have an unpopular opinion, but Manda is not bad, and pretty decent for being the cheapest in the case, is it homemade old school smoked sausage, no, but for ~$4/lb grilled and sliced or on a hot dog bun it is pretty good

With that being said I did have some this weekend and noticed the 3 pound boxes now have 3 one pound links that are individually vacuum sealed which is a plus, the negative I noticed is the links are much bigger around which makes it difficult for a poboy without slicing long ways, but I still like the product :doublebird:

Should I have said, “Hopefully he has crappy insurance and has to pay hundreds of thousands out of pocket?”


Yeah, a crappy thing to down vote, but any health insurance is going to have a maximum out of pocket expenses, to keep from owing hundreds of thousands, but even a 25K out of network out of pocket max hurts, combined with loss of work

I am insurance poor and hope to never be glad of it

2 big vines, one of the purple traditional varieties, one of the golden scuppernog variety, both vines have about 3 mother vines, probably planted 40 or 50 years ago, we bought the place 10 years ago and they were loaded
