Husker Hunting

We got tired of fighting the Mr. Buddy heaters in our blinds, so today we upgraded to this, a Mr. Heater Ice House Heater. This video details our new hunting blind setup, showcasing the installation and features of our new propane heater. We opted for a more robust portable heater to improve our comfort during those long waits.

Why I Ditched the Buddy Heater for an Ice House Heater

It was a slow Nebraska deer firearm season, but we made the best of it. Big John & I let the new 6.8 Western loose on these two dogs, and not ten minutes after shooting the second coyote this doe came walking by. She didn't like it, but she didn't spook as bad as I thought she would!

Who Let the Dogs Out? 🎶

This buck was definitely wandering around looking for does!

They Call Me the Wanderer 🎵

These three nearly came into the blind! They didn't know what to think of the decoy, but they were sure interested in it.

Big John & Wade had this 4x4 come down the creek the evening of Saturday Nov 8.

We're taking a closer look at the @marlinfirearms 1895 Trapper chambered in 45-70! This big bore brute has the adjustable @skinnersights302 and a 16" threaded barrel with an aftermarket @spearheadmachine muzzle brake to tame the recoil.

Ruger Marlin 1895 Trapper 45-70 | Big Bore Power in a Compact Package

A battle for the ages. The old man shooting the pre-64 Winchester Model 94 versus the young gun, Lee, shooting the new Ruger Marlin 336 Trapper. Which 30-30 (or shooter!) will come out on top? See for yourself!

Showdown: Old vs New 30-30

We mount a Leupold VX-Freedom scope on Lee's new CVA Accura MR-X 45 caliber muzzleloader, then step out to the range to zero the setup using the Blackhorn 209 powder, CCI 209 Magnum primers, and those super sleek Hornady ELD-X bore driver bullets.
