Is opening day of rifle (16) too late to effectively call?

Tri Star Shotgun

Posted by DanielBooned on 9/17/25 at 9:31 am
Anyone shot these? Have an Sbe3 and stoeger in 12g as my back up duck gun. Have a dedicated 20g turkey gun. Want to get a synthetic stock 20g to use in the timber and also to have my wife and kid shoot more comfortably.

Not looking to absolutely break the bank. So Benelli is out.

They are harder than corn to grow
The hottest temperature ever recorded in Japan was 80 years ago today

The XRM is awesome but unless you are doing serious muddling or riding, it’s unnecessary. I would highly recommend the can am limited or Polaris northstar. Both are fine, I prefer can am, but the climate control, and doors and windows, are such a game changer- especially for kids and wives.

I never thought I would be one of those guys, and it’s not really the cold that bothers me (especially with the heat the engines put out and my hunting clothing) but not being covered in mud and dust and dirt when riding along with the A/C when cruising logging roads in the summer is a game changer. Having a flip up windshield no doors is fine when you are moving, but when crawling along it gets hot.
A legendary coach who ran a highly specialized unique offense that literally no one else runs that he spent 4 years recruiting and building up for… combined with the college football landscape having the most change in 100 years ushered in during this time. As well as playing at 4 playoff teams. Yikes
Is that dude the special ed fella?
Can-am. I’m biased but they are nicer.

The reality is, the are about the same. One does certain stuff better than the other, there are different pros and cons, etc. if you treat them right and maintain correctly, can’t really go wrong with either. I would also look at where you will be getting them serviced and what is the closest and cheapest option for service close to you.

I also really like the new Kawasaki ridges.
I have the 4 auto feature, and use it at the duck camp for gravel roads when they are slick and for driving in the snow. Do this many people really use it for the rain too, on normal
Streets? I guess it’s not a huge deal cus it only engages when needed. But that is baffling to me

Flooding in Arkansas

Posted by DanielBooned on 6/16/25 at 9:49 am
Anyone else impacted by the flooding? Based on what I’m seeing and hearing, more than 30% of the crops in NE Arkansas are ruined. The entire town of Grubbs is still underwater.

Many farmers are not planting this year. I think it could be a very rough duck season…. Trying to figure out alternatives. Any old timers ever recall a season where just no crops were put out?

Dirt legal or Streetlegal USA

Posted by DanielBooned on 6/11/25 at 11:33 am
Anyone ever tried or heard of this? Basically these companies do all the work to get a UTV street legal, by forming a MT LLC. I’m intrigued. I would have to pay sales tax if I register it in my state.
I have turned away from first lite as they are not durable. Several of my items from them are pilling.

I hear you on the kuiu patterns, and agree: but me and most of the baws I hunt with are switching to solid earth tone (brown, olive; black; etc) colors for deer duck and big game hunting now. It’s just easier and doesn’t matter. For turkey, I still do bottomland (the best ever pattern), Sitka sub alpine and the new green pattern, and fall foliage.

But in a deer stand, a duck blind; or a box stand. I argue that a solid brown or dark earth tone color is actually better than camo patterns because of the shading factor, and at worst case doesn’t hurt you.
It’s ridiculous when you can buy them for basically nothing on Amazon. But Fenix headlamps are legit. Left outside in a duck hole for weeks, dug it out of mud, cleaned it, recharged, still kicking. And way bright.

I also will second kuiu, Sitka, and Chene.

Buying a Used UTV

Posted by DanielBooned on 6/5/25 at 1:04 pm
Price is right, got the features I want: does not appear to be modded (it’s all stock) and looks clean from the pictures. I’m going to look at it this weekend. The seller says it had one owner who traded it in for the new ridge that just came out. It’s a 2022 model defender limited.

Besides all the usual things (test drive, visually inspect, ask for maintenance records, test the function of all the equipment) what else should I look for or do before purchasing?

I know the caveat about buying these things used, but new one is not in my price range and not taking a loan out to buy a fun toy.

Thinking of putting this in the side by side rather than a dedicated speaker system. Would the ranger work or do you need the bigger one?

I got the gunner as well. With the amount of money i have in the dog and his training; the peace of mind was worth it. I do hate that it prevents my bed cover from closing; but it works. He also is fairly comfortable in there. You would not be able to fit this and an atv in the truck bed tho.
Been using AccuWeather and it has worked decently well.
