Time for me to clear out some stuff that is not being used......first
Badlands Bino XR.....wish this one for my new binos. Top and rangefinder compartment have very positive magnet closures. Extra pocket on backside and zipper that keeps rain cover. $60 plus your choice of shipping.
I have a 2019 F150 5.0 and have nothing but good things to say. Better mileage than I expected 16-18 in town and 21-22 highway. Plenty of juice in everything I've done. The big reason I went for the 5.0 is that I realized if the engine on the 3.5 (or 2.7) ever need almost ANYTHING both...
Got some good news today. A long time now, but distant, friend who was responsible for my "just after deployment" buck in Texas Brian and his son Caleb made a trip up to the CO Eastern Plains for Caleb to chase a pronghorn doe a couple of days ago. Today I got news that Caleb sealed the...
Well, mid-80s last weekend hunt elk was too damn hunt.....I have no problem saying that ;) In general I find it astounding how folks "getting older" move south to hot climates. I have NEVER had a use for weather over 80 unless I was recreationally involved with water. Like many others...
Sunday 29th:
Since the only tag left was Brandin's antelope there was no hurry to be up too early so SP was set at 0645 and I was not going so they could consolidate to one truck. I got up right as they were leaving and had a cup of coffee ( I AM actually drinking coffee now) and a granola...
Saturday 28th:
At dinner the night before the decision was made to get up and head out at 0600 to go back to the elk property. There was no intention of a shot opportunity, it was more to see what they were doing in the morning and figure out where to position for the evening. We got to a...
Here is my WY buck from last Friday......my best so far. Measured him today (followed directions but it is my first time so....grain of salt.....I tried to be very conservative) 78 2/8 inches and some nice junk.
After field dressing him we headed back to our place (Caleb and his wife have a nice little AirBnB in Dixon) to skin, quarter and get him in the freezer ASAP as it was pretty hot.....like the mid 80s.....and stayed that way. Then we made some sandwiches and listened to some more wisdom from...
Finally took a break and here goes.
Friday the 27th: Up about 0515 for some coffee and so Doc (my host) can let his retreiver burn off a little early morning steam. A few minutes before 0600 Brandin (the other vet) pulled up as he was local to FoCo. We consolidated our goods into Doc's...
I'm sacking out now in FOCO at a finr gentleman named Doc's house after a few rum drinks. 0515 will have up and raring to go. I'll be happy to see WY again....it has treated me well. Time to cowboy up!!
Well, I MAY have cursed myself....buuuuut......it was time, it was on sale, and well f$%k it. Just picked up this guy today. NO MORE DEFROSTING!!!!! https://www.homedepot.com/p/Frigidaire-27-8-in-13-cu-Ft-Frost-Free-Garage-Ready-Upright-Freezer-FFFU13F2VW/310534496
X3 for the Franchi.....some know I sell guns at Scheels and handle/shoot guns all the time. Gas guns will shoot a little softer but require more cleaning and are heavier(truth-the Beretta A400 Extreme is awesome), I have had great luck with Benellis and now Franchi and use my shotgun for...
Got an unexpected text from my buddy Kory (WI) last night that he is flying into the Springs tonight.....I think on the way to his hunt in Western CO. So I will get a couple of beers with him before night night, spin some tales and talk about the upcoming WI gun opener (the REAL Christmas!!!).
