re: Nissan Titan Opinions
Posted by SenseiBuddy on 2/9/26 at 3:13 pm to prestigeworldwide
I have one. A 24 PR 4x4. 21k so far. Only issue is the roof rails have some corrosion and getting it redone under warranty.
It’s the warranty I like. 5 years 100k miles bumper to bumper.
I use the stealership for all maintenance.
This is my second titan. The first one was 180k with only a fuel pump failure.
I like em. I needed a truck after the cp4 killed my f250. While I miss my ford size and power and space, the titan is powerful. Smooth. No turbos. No cp4. No start stop tech. It’s a v8 4x4 truck.
Hard to get it that simple these days.

Season and Life Update
Posted by SenseiBuddy on 1/30/26 at 1:07 pm
It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. Life has been a bit of a whirlwind lately. I took a company-mandated sabbatical, only to be laid off while I was on it. :wah: Then, just two days later, hackers got into my account and made off with thousands.
Despite all that, the hunting season itself was a great one. I was able to tag a nice 9-point on low-fence South Texas, and my son tagged one too—on the very same day. A few weeks ago, I was also invited to Cactus Flat Ranch outside Eagle Pass for a nilgai hunt with the Double Down Feed crew, where I took my first nilgai bull.
Overall, an excellent hunting season with a pretty rough ending to the year.
Cheers, guys! :cheers:

Go to any outfitter from Victoria Tx to Eagle Pass. It’s infested with birds.

Our bridge is over 20k lbs of steel beams, plates and grating. It is over 20’ long and despite the 15’+ depth, it still gets submerged from time to time with heavy rains.
The heavy weights keep it in place despite massive trees getting lodged in it. I’ll post some pics shortly.

re: My son wants an e-bike for Christmas, and I know nothing about them
Posted by SenseiBuddy on 11/11/25 at 12:05 pm to Mr. Hangover
I have 2E bikes. the first one I bought for my son when he was 14 and the other I bought for me. Both are used for hunting. they make E bikes for a variety of activities. The first thing you need to do is determine what type of E bike you want to buy. Is it a motorcycle? Is it a dirtbike? Is it something you ride around the neighbourhood in? is it an off-road hunting bike to carry your gear? once you understand what the purpose of your bike is then we can start narrowing down your options and brands.
re: Best Whitetail States For Non-Residents
Posted by SenseiBuddy on 11/11/25 at 9:22 am to SETH6180
that maybe true, i wouldn't know as i don't hunt public land. I have some long-lasting friendships in Texas, and they help me out. I do pay them though. So, it's not free and i shouldn't expect free for the amount of work the folks put in for us.
all my trips in these states have been with outfitters as i don't have the time or means to figure out public land properly.
However, my chart is accurate to help with the investment costs to go, no matter if its public land or outfitter.

some AI work and this is for the 2025 Season. Texas looks like a good value despite not having a short-term option. Arkansas has the best short-term options, but they are not discounted much.
I'll be going to Texas twice this season. Trying to get my money's worth.
:lol:

re: Home ice maker. Anyone have recs?
Posted by SenseiBuddy on 10/21/25 at 12:25 pm to W2NOMO
If you want one for home use and random drinks, I could not recommend the nugget icemaker for your countertop enough. I’ve had one on my counter for the last three years. The first two were cheap knock offs that ended up dying but the one I’m currently using has been holding up really well and I have learned to clean it very thoroughly once a month.
They’re about 350 bucks and make about 35 to 40 pounds of ice a day which is more than enough for what we use it for

It’s an unfortunate fact that
The cell cam market has trained folks to expect overpriced products built with cheap parts, low-resolution images, and poor customer support.
Just look at the Facebook groups for most brands — they’re full of complaints and frustration.
At WiseEye, our customer success team is based right here in Denham Springs, Louisiana. It started with just two people and has now grown to around 12 full-time members — helping customers every single day.
And if I had the numbers in front of me, I’d bet that over 80% of the calls, emails, and message board posts our team handles come down to one of two things: dead batteries or SD cards that need formatting.
We saw these gaps in the market six years ago and we had the intention and purpose to be a market leader of quality and being a customer first organization.
