    Fireplace remodel

    It really wasn't as bad as it looked. It took a little while to figure out how to do it properly and how to notch the round edge to make hewing easier. Once you got the technique down and let the heft of the broad axe work it went fairly quickly. That said, I would not want to hew a cabin or...

    Fireplace remodel

    Here, it's pretty much firewood or BBQ wood. Its really hard to debark so the only sawmills that will touch it are the cross tie and pallet mills. The pulp mills won't touch it because of the bark either. Our little farm has a woodlot with some nice logs and the light wood let me finish it to...

    Fireplace remodel

Its 10' wide and about 18' tall. My full plans for it have not been reveal to Audra. Finally a place to hang my...

    Taking a camper to Wyoming

    We hauled ours from Alabama a couple of years ago. Hit Denver, turned North to Central WY. Took about 3 weeks, but had an awesome trip. Hunted 10 days in WY, fished, hunted blue grouse in Colorado, saw Rocky Mtn National Park, the annual bison round up Custer State Park, and a bunch of other...

    Good Ole Days-A hunting story

    An earlier post about “the good old times being over” has had me thinking about earlier times in my life. When I was a kid, hunting was a family affair. It was a collection of uncles, cousins, along with myself and my older brother. In general it was a rag tag bunch that sported only the finest...

    Rabbit recipes?

    I grew up with a pack of beagles, so rabbits were on the menu often. My mother soaked them in buttermilk then chicken fried them. Served with hot biscuits and gravy, it was a great lunch on Sunday after hunting that morning

    Extra Stupid Window Stickers

    I couldn't help myself. I "customized" the back window of my brother's truck with a piece of electrical tape. It took a couple of months before someone he works with pointed it out.

    Favorite style/type of fishing and favorite place to do it ?

    Wading and paddling small size streams for trout. I am a spinning tackle guy, and I really like chasing bigger trout. That involves a trip to TN for us. The tail races are a welcome relief from the blistering Alabama summers. They make it bearable to fish and float through the hottest months...

    What do you shoot? Let's see 'em

    No. Havent had the opportunity. Biggest thing I've used them on is wild hogs. I shot a 300lb boar with them lastyear. Good penetration, but the bullet came apart. It was under the skin on the farside. The accubonds work well on elk.

    What do you shoot? Let's see 'em

    They shoot great out to 200 yds. They are soft enough to open on deer sized game. For the money, I think they a good product.

    What do you shoot? Let's see 'em

    An original Remington rolling block. It was originally a military variant, but was sporterized 100 years ago. Hope to carry it to Wy next time I draw an antelope tag.

    30-06 vs 300 WM in the real world?

    My 30-06 chronos at 2950 with 150 accubonds. (Not a +p load, close to max with ramshot big game). We used my chrono testing my friends 300 loads and his rifle was pushing them at 3150 fps. Just checked, and you are right. Hornady lists 150 gr american whitetail loads at 3275fps. So the box...

    Hunt talk 7x57

    Broke the little rifle out today to sight it in. Looks like its gonna be a shooter. This is the 1st batch of handloads, 160 gr partitions I've tried in it. And Audra was shooting it off a bipod after I sighted it in. Moved it 1/2" right after her first group. That got her into the bullseye. Shes...

    My new smokepole

    Most of the men in my family would all meet for the primitive weapons hunts on our WMAs when I was a kid. Both of my uncles carried that exact rifle and sling. Just seeing one still brings back memories and the smell of powder.
