    Hunting & Fishing How much to tip outfitter/guide

    I am going on my first western guided hunt this November in Idaho for mule deer. It is a 7 day hunt. There will be one guide for me and my hunting partner, one cook at camp, and a wrangler for the horses I believe. What is proper etiquette in gratuity? Do you tip each employee or just the guide...

    Hunting & Fishing Trapped my first beaver!

    Some beavers moved in on the creek and flooded the marsh on the property I hunt. So I went to fleet farm and bought a couple of 330 conibears and set them around the dam. After about a week of having the trap set I came up on this one this afternoon. Rough weight of approximately 60 pounds. I've...

    Hunting & Fishing My 1st WI Archery P&Y

    I was able to successfully fill my archery tag on Nov. 4th in Wisconsin. I had several early season trail camera pictures of this buck in velvet and was convinced it was probably one of the biggest if not the biggest buck on the property. I first laid my eyes on him at 100+ yds away while in the...

    Movie Theater The Iceman (May 3rd release date)

    I just finished reading this book last month and then heard they were releasing the movie soon. It was quite gripping. One of those books you can't put down. Richard Kuklinski was a true psychopath! Also, Ray Liotta is always a great mafia/mobster character...

    I have a brand new Taurus PT 138 PRO .380 I picked up for my fiance last year. This thing has maybe 25 rounds through it. I pulled it out of the safe to check it out and cleared the magazine.

    I have been trying to find some comparison and reviews between the GoPro and Midland XTC. I am looking at picking one of these up on a Black Friday sale this year.
