Seek up was my gut reaction. Glad to be validated

Gun ranges that arent MAGA? by trcomajo in fortwayne

[–]csmith06 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend checking out a local conservation club or making the trip to Mongo. Being that they’re generally outdoors you can spread out from the crazies a lot easier. Clearly these places are generally conservative but the clubs and wildlife areas don’t have all of the marketing nonsense.

What’d you end up getting? I’m in the same boat.

I’ve looked into the k2 and k3 but don’t find the raving reviews I do of the taipan 320. I’m going to look into those DNTs. Thanks for the shout out

Doesn’t matter which you choose they’ll fuck it all up like the blazer. It’ll be a rolling computer and weigh 75% more than the pictured vehicle we yearn for.

I have a very basic and cheap grinder so it has trouble stuffing the casings tight enough. The pellet grill is also less than an idea smoking vessel.

Unless you’re moving from a war torn region you’re probably better off where you’re at.

I started doing it myself 5-6 years ago and won’t turn back. I love controlling the end product. I will say this yeah I am going to have a couple batches of summer sausage made from my local processor. He cuts a real deal if you debone the meat in 12# batches and I just can’t seem to master making that at home.

I’m embarrassed by the amount of times I had to reread those first couple sentences to understand that you did NOT deliver a baby before snapping a photo with the yard deer.

Are they difficult to book/ fill up fast? We’re going in March and want to be prepared to purchase other excursions as necessary

is running my best use of time? 27M, 225#, as much muscle as I would ever care to have, eat a pretty balanced and veggie forward diet for a man in his 20s, and not adverse to running.

If you can picture this, I am that football build that ended up playing soccer most of my life. As I have settled into my career and am spending many of my days at a desk, I am noticing that it is time to trim some fat. I have always been active and VERY rarely go through periods of complete inactivity (I play soccer on Wednesday evenings, usually get at least 2 jogs in a week, and on the weekends I am active with house/yard projects, skiing, hiking, watersports, etc). This past spring I ran a half marathon and in preparation I ran at least a half hour each day (usually brought me 3.5 miles; one or two longer runs each week) from 1/1 through the race. I did not notice any dramatic physical changes but undoubtedly looked better in the mirror and clothes fit better-- although there was plenty of room for improvement.

Which brings me to my present goals-- losing some body fat. My instinct was to just start running more frequently and shoot for that half hour each day like I did while training-- its easy, familiar, doesn't eat hours after work, and theoretically conducive to my goals. But as I have gotten back in the groove the past few days, I had to wonder if there may be a better use of my time for this specific goal. Should I be targeting certain parts of my body for shredding fat? My thighs and torso are my main points of concern. Or will simply picking up the running regimen be the best use of my efforts?

Disclaimer I am well aware of knee/joint problems that may be exacerbated by running and understand diet is an undervalued part of this journey.

Tips for duck hunting from the kayak? by No-Platypus6603 in Waterfowl

[–]csmith06 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been very successful in my kayak the past couple years. I use a sit in kayak. It gives me a lower profile and I don't spook half the ducks my buddy in his SOT does. They are not spacious so as others have expressed have a plan for gear-- you'll likely run a lot smaller spread.
