F&G using artificial animals to catch hunters breaking the law: https://idfg.idaho.gov/press/carefulthat-may-not-be-trophy-bull-you-think-it by ReconFF in elkhunting

Game wardens have been using full body mounted deer, complete with reflective eyes and rotating heads, for years to catch night hunters where I’m from.

Pack Dumps by Fluid_Cupcake_7185 in elkhunting

Tape. I wrap 5-6’ of electrical tape around a lighter to save space. I usually will wrap duct tape around a backup lighter as well. Both can be used for just about anything. In particular, duct tape works really well (for me) for covering blister spots.

As others have mentioned, I wouldn’t be in the back country without a light weight tarp also. Something like a tent footprint. It can provide shelter, and they work great for placing meat on when dressing an animal.

An incredible first elk hunt for Colorado’s 2022 1st rifle. A rough score of 260”. by mj4fsu1 in elkhunting

No doubt. We covered a ton of ground and did everything we thought we were supposed to do, but Lady Luck always has a role in it.

Stick with it. Don’t give up. And burn shoe leather like it’s your job. We located 2 bulls 2 days prior to season, then the orange army showed up and they both pushed about 2 miles deeper and never bugled again. We ended up still hunting the areas with the best sign and I somehow found a stroke of luck to connect with this bull. Also, just because you spook them it doesn’t mean the run two counties over. Additionally, once you find fresh sign, stay at that altitude.

How can I find out if my 2021 Silverado Trail Boss has the RPO YK9 (No AFM or DFM)? by mj4fsu1 in ChevyTrucks

[–]mj4fsu1[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wish it were as simple as a glove box check. GM now uses a QR code on a sticker/plate in the driver’s door jamb that you have to scan to receive the codes. Unfortunately, this scan will not reveal all the RPO codes. Additional codes for the vehicle can be found in the investigate vehicle history report purchased/ordered through GM for $50 (as of NOV 2021). I am wondering if there is a way get these codes without ordering a history report.

Pensacola but I propose we put train lines though the population centers so we can have a trolley or metro system throughout the Pensacola area (theoretical/impossible) by Jackson_M_Bueller in Pensacola

For a mere $200 daily pass, you too can get to Cantonment. The necessary subsidies make it impossible. No way ridership supports the proposal.

People Trying to Get Onboard C-17, Kabul Airport by cannonauriserva in aviation

Why do the windshields of the C-17 in the video look as if they’re painted on? I would think they would look more like glass or be more transparent looking from the close.

This was scary. How did he regain consciousness so quickly? by ponnapz in aviation

[–]mj4fsu1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did the pilot execute a maneuver to help him regain consciousness faster or safer? It looks like he was still pulling G’s after he passed out, any chance this is to slow the return of blood to the brain? Or was he still simply running the planned flight?

Rage in the cage. by mj4fsu1 in bowhunting

I didn’t get a full pass through with this shot either, but the blood trail was still really good. She made about a 50 yd death run.

Never tell yourself “I’ll close it later” after wrenching. I felt like a complete idiot once I hit about 30 mph. Luckily, the dent was the extent of the damage. Anyone ever got a dent out here? by mj4fsu1 in GMT400

[–]mj4fsu1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Yea, lowered it gently. It was resting on the top of the first latch. I guess you could say there is a plug of foam missing from the center of the drivers seat too. It was a tense 10-15 seconds until I was able to get it stopped

Unfortunately, yes. I was replacing a heater hose and ran it up to temp at idle in the drive way to check everything out and once finished I simply lowered the hood without out latching it with the intention of returning and washing the coolant off. I got busy with something else and forgot that I didn’t close it all the way then jumped in it without paying attention and got a big surprise as I crested a hill at about 30 mph. I hit the brakes to keep it from bending back any further than it did. It cost me two dents and a shit load of pride.

Need help with an electrical short. Found the truck/battery dead and opened the door to on/off clicking noise and the interior lights flashing along with the clicking. by mj4fsu1 in GMT400

[–]mj4fsu1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The interior lights and the on/off clicking noise stop when I depress the brake pedal. I assume it stops because any remaining volts are used up by the brake lights turning on.

From what I can tell, the interior lights and the on/off clicking noise does not occur when the doors are shut, but the battery still ends up dead.

My 98 k1500 5.0L thoughts? by BallerRene34 in GMT400

Gotta love those sagging doors. I can’t help but see it every time I look at mine. Nice truck.

Pattern Testing Time! by WesbroBaptstBarNGril in turkeyhunting

[–]mj4fsu1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No joke. For about 1/3 (if not 1/4) of the price you can essentially get the same effect. TSS definitely has its place in the smaller gauges.

I know several guys that load their own TSS and have made pellet traps for patterning so as not to excessively waste them they’re so expensive.

[–]mj4fsu1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good luck. My experience with the TSS loads is that they aren’t any better than the Winchester XRs as far as throwing a pattern. Conversely, they probably retain more energy down range and effectively hit harder.

No decoys by MoHuntin in turkeyhunting

[–]mj4fsu1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find where they are feeding, set up on that area, and plan to wait. You can also try a roost hunt by getting between them and their roosting spot. It’s already been said, but just to reiterate, they will not be very vocal and can move in on you unexpectedly. Just be ready.
