Five Seasons

I'm not sure he winds me up, I just don't get it. I think anything taste related is subjective, so squirrel better than rabbit and types of beer is fine... but bass better than walleye or perch? That's crazy talk.

this f'n guy... I'm about to start a file of all the crazy sh!t he believes.

I typically get out a few times and average around 6 or so a season. I don't know what it is this year but the numbers and sightings are way down.

the straight line vs a track is where they separate themselves. the hellcat also has room for groceries and more than 1 passenger... not sure about the vette haha.

It's funny sometimes people think they have us hunters pegged with a stereotype, yet there's guys out there who go from checking a trap line in the morning to cruising in a vette at night. I love it!

just because i become aroused thinking about a new vette doesn't mean you can blame me! that is so awesome and i'm super jealous. If you're ever in and around monroe or wayne county let me know I'd love to meet up and drool over her. I promise just to look and not to touch.

Were you just a hayseed plow boy that didn't have a row to sow? love me some reeba haha

i've used both and have had no issues with either. the digital cut or whatever they call them weathertechs do have more of a factory feel and fit to them though.

yeah i did air intake, tonneau and nerf bars on my 16. All of which I undid prior to lease turn in. but my 19 came with steps and the intake really doesn't need to be upgraded so all I did was a tonneau. Heck the thing even came with good floormats, and bedliner, which is the only thing I did to the wife's car. I miss the days of putting in a new headunit, intake and catback at a minimum. My g8 has all of that plus a tune and several cosmetic updates.

i like customizing too and lose that in leasing, but the newer model cars and trucks really require a lot less customizing than years past.

I also like the murdered out look. I even added the ford overlay because the blue stuck out so bad. I actually like the darker non glossy wheels on the truck though.

yeah i love your hellcat, the charger was on my short list. I really wanted my g8 in white but couldn't find one. I settled for silver but still with the red/black interior. so sexy

in private moments my single friends will always tell me they'd rather be settled down with a good woman. I missed online dating and tinder and think man that would be fun. All my single buddies tell me it's not what you think. everyone thinks the grass is greener

I was a never black or red guy either and black was all they had in 19 so I rolled with it. Like everyone knows, they're hard to keep clean but man do they shine when they are. With our monthly delta sonic pass it's not so bad. I really like white, but a white truck just looks like some companies work truck, so I'm more of a white car guy. Dream car if the prices ever normalize is the new vette in white and carbon... get a stiffy just thinking about it.

yep, the facemask didn't last long last sunday. I barely needed a hat.

I agree with this 100%. I will also say that it's ok if you don't want to have an active social life. It's not good for anyone to be a hermit, but if some alone time, or activities with the kids makes you happy you shouldn't feel the need to go out if you'd rather feel well rested in the morning. My wife and I have a beach vacation planned next month with the whole goal of relaxing. She's more of the "lets go out and do stuff vacation person" but she's also a stay at home mom. Me? I work my ass off and I'm just looking forward to relaxing and recharging. I also think this forum is full of hunters, which I would guess would lean more on the solo and lone wolf side of society. Nothing wrong with that either.

i'm in my late 30's. In high school and college i had a ton of friends and some real tight knit groups of very close friends. All of which I see every once in a long while and we always pick up where we left off like nothings changed. But now, yeah I see a few guys here and there and that's it. It's not so much that we're all lame, it's just that we have kids. Factor in trying to have a healthy relationship with the wife, spending time with the kids, staying in shape and a demanding job it doesn't leave a lot of free time, and that free time I usually spend in the woods. I missed our annual live fantasy football draft in NC this year because it was the only time I could do our summer trip to the daks. Everyone of the crew with kids understood that I would put that first, those without kids did not. I still got shit from all of them and that's cool as it's just ball busting and I wouldn't have it any other way.

Not a big fan of red for trucks, but she's a sweet looking ride. congrats!

exactly. You can go on chevy's website right now and build a truck and you get anywhere from 300 to 500 bucks off sticker for missing features that are worth well over that in my opinion. I've heard rumors that some parts may be able to retrofit later but I don't see adding a heated steering wheel or seats as an easy job. I know it's not their fault exactly and I know not everyone cares, but several hundred bucks is not acceptable.

spent a few weekends in the woods in these temps doing prep work. I've said it a 1000 times, but good gear matters. I had my base layer long underwear, good wool socks, good muck boots and an outer pant and jacket set that I now use for chore work that is both insulated and with a windblocker layer. Throw on some good gloves and good facemask and you should be able to work or hike for a while. One thing I did find which was kind of funny as I was clearing trails was that some of the dead tree logs I needed to physically pick up and move were frozen to the ground lol. So I had to kick them to break them free or in some cases they were left for another day.

you know it's funny because the truck at bob johnson that i have now has that package. I didn't want it, but it had everything else I did and was as close as I could get and if I'm honest the lane assist and rear and forward collision alerts have probably saved my butt a few times for the $700 option I think it's pretty decent but not a deal breaker.

I don't believe thread crapping is a rule

good thing most new autos are coming with HIDs or LEDs that should last longer than the engine itself. My BIL had a VW that required the whole front bumper be removed to change a bulb. wtf? lol.

I was reading last week that they're shipping even some of the higher trims without heated seats and steering wheels because of the chip shortage. Also that the nicer headunits weren't available and that the temp gauge for the t-stat's were no longer going to be digital. They're giving like $300 off the sticker for this, which is absolute garbage when you consider they're $60k trucks. The heated steering wheel is easily one of my favorite new features and a deal breaker for me, I'm pretty sure I'm going to buy out my lease that's up in September unless I can get a 22 with all the standard features.

family of 5 plus a dog and I had to go from double to crew and was worried about the 5.5' box but in 3 years there hasn't been a time I really needed the 6.5 bed. I know I can get a longer box in the crew but it's rare to find one and those trucks are long lol
