I just started night calling this year and it's one heck of a rush! do you use anything for scanning or just scan with your scope? www.wickedhuntinglights.com/night-hunting-lightsComes in red, green or white lights. Picks up eyes to 250 yards+/-. Also includes rechargeable batteries and a charger. I have used one for years with no problems

4 inches here in Hamilton county. Too little. Too late to save deer season. Next year..... Wish it would have come two weeks earlier. Might have gotten them out of their day beds

I'd be all over one but unfortunately no place for a dog box. Get two. One for you and Sarah and one for your son to drive with the dogs

It looks nice but small for that price. $1.5 million will buy a lot of guided hunts all over the world and still have money left over for a nice sized chunk of Indiana hunting land. Some senator or congressman will hide this in the budget for their personal vehicle. I have to believe that anyone who will spend this kind of money on a toy can afford to do that and buy guided hunts and land wherever they want. It isn't a choice for someone with that kind of wealth. As a side note the $1.5 million model is 35 feet long. Over $42,850 per foot. That is insane.... Makes me recall a friend who spent $600,000 on a motorhome, put 60,000 miles on it over two years and sold it for $190,000. Neither are a great investment! LOL! I didn't even know that Ford made a F750. The horsepower and torque are less than my F350 on both of the earthroamer models. Have to wonder how that engine will do pulling steep inclines. Just thinking out loud......

For $2200 I would hope that this bow would be flawless. Read three very poor reviews primarily related to string breakage and customer service. When will X bow companies learn to live within the envelope and not press it to the point of unreliability? A 200 fps compound will kill most deer. So why do we need 400 fps+ X bows? I see the same thing happening to X bow companies as is happening to compound bow companies. Stop the "arms race" and stupid price inflation and build reliable products that the average hunter can use and afford. Btw I couldn't care less in my bow can break a concrete block. Get real.......

A quick Google search says it's most likely a bad u joint. You are right. Evidently there is a u joint associated with the axle that engages 4wd and mine is not releasing. Just got the call from the dealership. Thanks for the insight

I used the Huntstand app last night to measure my drag out of the spot where I hunted HNF yesterday. It was 1022 yards, 0.58 mile. 3/4ths of it was uphill. Thankfully only the first 65 yards was steep. If you guys don't have a long, plastic sled to drag your deer in, get one!! It only took me 45 minutes to make the drag solo. This from an out of shape fat fella that uses an atv on private ground! And it works even better in snow!! Good advise, do you have a brand name on the one you are using? Bob Bob, I have the Eagle Claw jet sled. No complaints. www.eagleclaw.com/jsled-jet-sleds. Won't hunt without it

I thought that his son, the guy on the right looked pretty goofy....... Needs to see an opthamologist to get those eyes fixed. Also looks old for his age. Darling girls. I guess two out of three isn't bad Luckily they get their looks and intelligence from their mother! Two exceptionally beautiful young ladies! You are a fortunate man and a great father. Keep it up. Before you know it they are grown up and gone. My son is 40 and is in the Middle east and my daughter is 33 and is in FL. Time flies.

Ditto on the KY season. Last Spring turkey season in KY I saw more cranes than turkeys. Land owners don't like them. Pretty filthy like geese. Should be able to get landowner permission. I was hunting Barren county

I once had a similar experience with an International Scout that had a Detroit Locker in the rear differential as a factory option. One of my back tires went flat on the highway on my first western trip, and I put the spare on. The spare was about an inch less diameter than the tire that had gone flat, and when I got up to speed after changing tires,the steering suddenly felt like it had somehow "locked up" in a hard right direction! Took about all I could do to wrestle it back into my lane and keep it there until I could get of the road. I crawled under and looked over the steering, tie rods, springs, whatever else I could think of that might cause a sudden extreme right pull, and found nothing visible. When I fired it back up and started forward again, the Scout steered normally on the gravel berm and as it got back up to speed, and just when I thought it was some sort of fluke, it did it again. The second time, just as I got off onto the berm, I could feel it "unlock" and the steering return to normal. That was the clue that told me it wasn't a steering system problem at all, but was the locker in the rear that just couldn't handle the different sized tires. The locker would come around to the next spot where it could engage and lock both sides of the rear axle together, and that old short-wheelbase Scout would almost swap ends and head back home, and since it didn't have power steering, it was a real handful until it got onto a lower traction surface and unlocked itself. I noticed your year of F350 4X4's has the Electronic Differential Locker. Sounds like that could be doing something similar in locking and releasing randomly, maybe as a result of a faulty control switch or sensor? I googled "2013 F350 4X4 problems" and found a few other guys had some trouble getting them to unlock with the EDL. Seems like most owners like the system, but it does a slight tendency to have some control quirks. Russ, I believe you are right. Please note the previous post. Thank you

Put it back in 4WD and drive it and see if that changes anything... or if it keep doing what your saying happens Did exactly that today as it was moderately pulling to the right. Created the same results. Wobbly front right tire and pulling to the right hard. So the 4wd engagement is the trigger. It is at the dealer now. Thanks!

Prayers already sent and will continue. Sometimes it is hard to figure out the Lord's plan but there is an answer here. As I think about it, the wife and the father are with the Lord and that is every believer's goal. Sometimes it happens earlier than when we would choose but it is not our choice. The husband and family are not there yet but they will be and it will be a joyous reunion. Something for them to consider and to help them through their grief.

Forgot to mention Bass and Bucks. Probably two hours for you but worth the drive. www.bassandbucks.com/500 bows in stock and solid techs. Family owned. This is where I bought my Mathews HTR

I admire a man that knows when to shut down a venture before it shuts him down. I also admire your work on both shotguns and the extra barrel. I wonder if they will appreciate in value like artwork does when a artist stops painting? Can only hope... Seriously, thank you Brandon.
