  1. Getting excited for dove/teal season even though it's hot as hell right now. My dog has been a couch potato for 4 months so we just picked back up training and I am getting her back in shape and tuned up. Anyone else got a lab or bird dog they are looking to shoot some birds over? I'm jonesing for some hunting!

    I’m keeping my 99 4Runner SR5 Sport V6 4x4. It’s got about 165k on it. AC blows cold. Now a family heirloom. Everything works. I’ve replaced a radiator. Some front suspension parts. Everything else is maintenance. I use Lucas Oil additives in oil and fuel. The only bad thing on it is paint. Old house has 16 huge crepe myrtles that seeped all over it and my Acura and ate the paint.

    Is your’s an auto or standard? Does it have rear locking differential? Those a getting super expensive and desirable

  3. CSB time about Lucile’s; I helped build the large oak stand the receptionist use when you walk in circa 2004. We had an old Quonset hut off Foch street that we rented and used as carpenter shop. West 7th was way different back then with the old acme brick building ; Fred’s was going strong and used to have topless postcards in the mens bathroom

  4. I’m going to start fly fishing (again) this year and wanted to get y’all’s opinion on some solid gear for mostly trout. 
     

    I did some backpacking back in the day and had a cheap bass pro backpacking rod but like to get something nicer.

    Heres what I’m thinking so far:

    -freshwater fishing

    -6 wt rod?

    - orvis clear water?

    Any suggestions on local companies or am I heading in the right direction? Also, is YouTube a great place to learn or lessons etc?

    Got into the Jeep game this past summer. 1976 CJ5 with a 258 inline six.
     

    Looking for gear head tips for modernizing the 258 engine and suspension. Not looking to build a rock  crawler or to go fast. Just want a reliable ride that can get down the highway and navigate the trails up here in Denali. 
     

    I’m not a mechanic, I’m just learning as I go. Any advice is appreciated. 15D1EF25-82CF-403C-91BB-4415CAEF3E44.thumb.jpeg.5fdb76a15ec3be591ba1f9f831b6223a.jpeg15D1EF25-82CF-403C-91BB-4415CAEF3E44.thumb.jpeg.5fdb76a15ec3be591ba1f9f831b6223a.jpeg9C4D445E-3691-432B-B389-4039A8BB5297.thumb.jpeg.23a933fedc60d4ae05b766c31cb38107.jpeg

    Awesome, the only thing I did with my old jeep that seemed to help was swapped out the factory carb with an aftermarket kit by Weber (I think). I could never get the factory one dialed in. This was about 10 years ago so take it for what it’s worth

    Doing the extended Kalalau (22 mi +Day hikes into the valley) mid Jan if it doesn’t get rained out. Probably won’t risk the Honopu Beach swim due to the winter water, but would love to give it a try (or kayak there) someday.

    Any good post hike/backup hike recs for a no kids trip? Remaining time will be split between Hanalei and the south shore.

    I did that hike about 15 years ago and it was just absolutely amazing. If you’re scared of heights the 7 mile mark is where a lot of people turn around. I remember seeing that trail for the first time and thought there is no way in hell I could walk on that. If you take it slow it’s not bad. It’s totally worth it but it’s a bit sketchy

    Have a great time and take some good pictures. Also, my time on the trail was in 2006 so it might have changed since then.

  7. Help me spend some money surly. I received a $225 gift card to tecovas. I know they aren’t the highest quality boot but are they worth buying a pair or should I just order one of their leather travel bags?

    I have two pair of ostrich already as well several other just regular boots/work boots.

    Appreciate the recs

  8. Spent the weekend out at the ranch and just got back in. Shot two more hogs and saw a bunch of deer. It was an amazing morning this morning as the wind shifted and the rut seemed to be full on in NW Jack county. It was like a switch flipped from last night to this morning; had multiple bucks chasing hard

  9. We had a great opening weekend at our place; two hogs, one coyote and a great 7 point cull.

    Herbie, I feel your pain with young deer getting shot especially if they have been discussed. Luckily, we have a good core group of like minded hunters and we all let some really good looking younger deer pass.

    The 7 that was shot was almost 160lbs on the hoof and at least a 3.5 year old. Perfect deer to take out as he wasn’t getting any better and have much better deer in his same age classcf35d92a9b70f12a2e526c9d27d03f50.jpg

    Those screws are triggering my deer blind OCD....;)

    Haha; this is just a large platform (uncovered) we built on top of a hill to overlook a food plot and pretty country; we call it the veranda. The feeder is 310 yards away so this is our area to "hunt" where we put on music, talk, drink bourbon etc. The screws in question are like that so we can throw a camo netting to help conceal it when the leaves fall.

     

    I'll see if I can find some other photos

    Messina’s in grapevine is who the boys use now and they’ve been quite pleased.

    I've used Messina's and had good luck with them as well.

    Zip code?

    & I'm still hoping for info on where a cold front needs to be for us to see some movement down here in Central Texas.

     That was outside Lufkin on a buddies family place; all local birds but pretty shot out by the time we left.
