re: Snake Boosts or Gaiters

Posted by KB375 on 4/4/26 at 10:45 am to
I have a pair of Twisted X pull on, not snake boots, that I’ve worn daily for 2+ years. Sole is starting to separate at the toe a little and I’ve bought a replacement pair. But these just refuse to die so I’m still wearing them.

If they’ll take that kind of wear I wouldn’t worry about the snake boot soles with the limited use they get.

Danner Sharptail boots. I’ve thought about trying Twisted X for my next pair but it’s hard to give up on the Danners
EGO cordless gear is top notch.

Matt Brock and Jerremy Ferguson are the driving force behind The Habitat Network. They also have the Southern U podcast. Both have state wildlife agency experience and are well versed in land/wildlife etc.

They will not sign any consultant into their program that is not thoroughly vetted.

Look up Wildlife Investments or The Habitat Network. Both are relatively new groups of consulting professionals who have assembled a team of experienced biologists/foresters/etc. Depending on your goals they can direct you toward a professional in your area.

Great people. Well run and you’ll eat very well
Retay makes a threaded .22. One thing I like about it is the magazines are metal not plastic.

When you get the dozer in there to work the road, go ahead and “daylight” the road. Clear at least 20’ on each side. You can strip disk sections in the fall in addition to planting cereal grains and clover in the fall in strategic spots.

Figure out your access into plots so you can slip in/out of stands without spooking game off the plot. Do not create plots where you have to drive through them.

MSU Deer University, any podcast featuring Dr Craig Harper, etc are good starts. Pierce Young at MS State Extension is putting out good content as well.
Dude definitely loves to fish. He’s got an interesting success story too.
MSC fishing out of Ft Morgan Marina. Vlad is a certified fish killer.
I’ve noticed it to be off 20-50’ especially on north and south boundaries in S AL. You can usually look at the aerials and notice the change in timber stands do not match the lines shown.
He never wears those clothes in a restaurant, gas station etc. They go back in the tote.
Got a buddy who collects them and stores in a tote with his hunting clothes. He has good luck rattling in S Alabama when rut kicks off.

Dudes a straight up killer on deer and turkey.
I had about a pound wedged into a beaver dam from 25 or so yds. Got peppered with mud and small sticks

2” pvc is your friend. Poke a hole straight down into damn leaving enough showing for a target. Glue your caps to keep water out. Rarely takes more than 3 lbs. A little rake work after the shot really helps clear the channel.
Have had two contractors do work for us and both run ASV. One guy had issues with his machine and repairs but likes the machine overall. Just says to keep warranty coverage on it.

Wired a backup alarm into a co-workers trailer pigtail.

Wired a car horn into another workers turn signal, again off the trailer pigtail.

Put two giant zip ties on their driveshaft.

They got me back by putting a zillion hole punch dots in my desk/office.

It’s not the confrontation with buzzards that’s the problem. It’s when they nest in them and crap everywhere. Once that happens just set it on fire and start over.

Anything loaded with any of the 110 grain bullets like Barnes TAC or Nosler Varmageddon. If you want to shoot subsonic the the Hornady Sub-X.

Loaned my 300 BO upper to a family member for his little girl to shoot. She’s taken a die and he had shot two more with the 110’s.

I’ve shot a pile of hogs with the 110 Varmageddon with good results.
