Just sitting here in the delivery room, waiting for baby to arrive, and finished reviewing 2023’s most obnoxious, troll-worthy, & milk-through-your-nose threads.
For your reading pleasure, I’m pleased to present 19 20 nominees in 3 award categories:
Hottest bro-crush on a hunting personality...
Following hunting influencers on social media platforms does not require a fee. Neither does watching influencer content on Youtube. However, both actions cost us access to quality hunting, and drive up costs of licenses, tags, and points.
Hunter recruitment will soon be the bane of hunters'...
Historically-representative ecosystem management
In respect to land management, both preservationism and multi-use strategies each have their place in the history of conservation in America. This essay presents a third strategy, historically-representative ecosystem management, designed to...
It looks like this model might have been discontinued after a short production run due to poor sales. The market is flooded with the numerous 22/45 lites with the standard threaded barrel. Resales of the sole non-threaded model are uncommon, and they retail for about -$150 to -$200 lower than...
I bought a multimeter to troubleshoot a couple fixtures and an outlet. Got those fixed, but experimenting on some of my other home outlets produced concerning results:
Volts format = Neutral-Hot/Ground-Neutral/Ground-Hot
Exterior E 120/20/90
Garage E 120/0/0
Garage E2 120/16/16
Garage W...
Hunt journal for 2023 season I’m going to highlight living with disability/ mental illness. I was recently diagnosed with anxiety/PTSD, and bipolar disorder. I started treatment with medication in December, and I also have talk therapy 1-2 times a week.
I’ve had mood problems since high school...
The Iowa legislative session is Jan-Apr annually, and like clockwork, lawmakers hit the ground running with bills to repay their donors: IA Farm Bureau, and out-of-state campaign donors: individuals and weapons manufacturers. The currency of the quid pro quo repayment is Iowa's finite natural...
I have had a driving discomfort problem develop starting a couple year ago, and recently it has become much worse, to the point of being a barrier to future NR hunting trips.
The problem: When driving at 50+ mph I sometimes get this sensation that the vehicle is rocking or lurching dramatically...
This year’s hunt journal should be trim. My wife and I have the privilege of moving a family member with Alzheimer’s into our home to take care of, and leisure time comes at a premium. I’ll still get out to WY for bull elk for at least a week as the main event.
My daughter may be joining me on...

It seems that every time the demand of big game tags outstrips supply, we as hunters overwhelmingly gravitate the conversation towards the question of “who deserves a tag?”
Variously,
Locals. “We should be able to hunt our own backyard.”
DAV’s. “They served our country, and paid a price.”...
I know this may be small potatoes to most forum members, but please consider getting involved to help defend hunting opportunity for the common sportsperson in Iowa. For over a decade now, every IA legislative session there is an assault on this opportunity, and 2022 is no different. There is a...
I have a freezer full of elk, and I could use some help with general strategy in preparing and cooking the cuts of meat.
My first attempt was steaks seared blue then added sea salt, and the second was a seared roast, then baked until medium rare, rested, sliced, and seasoned. It has all been...

OK, tear it to shreds...
