I watched it live in class as well. If you get a chance, watch "The Challenger Disaster" which goes into detail about Dr. Feynman's (played by William Hurt) investigation into the cause and what design flaws led up to the disaster. It's a great movie.
Not duck hunting but when I was 14 or so dad and I were hunting public land turkey and had someone pull a prick move on us. We were working a bird down off of a ridge and had him about 70 yards uphill from us when a guy came in a couple hundred yards above us and tried to call him back up to...
And to that affect, there are many landfills out there just burning off their methane instead of running waste-to-energy plants. The town I work for has a very large landfill within it's incorporated limits. The village also manages it's own energy infrastructure and has a contract with Duke...
If he just mounted it, it could also be that the hide hasn't dried enough yet to draw into the sculpting around the eyes. My dad has done taxidermy work for over 50 years and there is no way you'll catch him sending pics or letting customers see an unfinished mount, unless they ask and...
I was sitting a treestand in a white oak thicket that was absolutely polluted with buck sign during archery season several years back when I heard what sounded exactly like a deer crunching on acorns coming around the hill. I could tell it was heavy and I had myself convinced that I was about...
First I'd buy a boatload of land, then I'd buy some more guns. I'd probably try to get licensed for fully automatic firearms and I'd buy a WW2 era BAR. I've always had a fascination with those old guns.
I'll probably never quit working completely. I still have several years til I can retire and have my health insurance covered. With my background in water/wastewater treatment, as well as experience in environmental reclamation before I got into water and wastewater, there is always a lot of...
A couple years back one of dad's friends was hunting the property in front of dad's house for turkey. Dad heard a shot a few hours later and about half an hour after that his friend comes stumbling out of the woods with blood pouring down his face. He was shot by another hunter at 35 yards in...
You get something figured out and put a link up and I will buy tickets. I don't know that I would necessarily get to do the hunt, but I'm all about supporting a good cause.
I definitely miss not being there this year. Last year sank its hooks in me. I plan on doing that AZ hunt every year I can. It just didn't work out this year with having foot surgery in early December. Nice javelina!
I'm still thinking about it myself. I'd prefer to do it after a large number of people have taken it, but I also don't want to pass it on to anyone if I would get it. My wife, a teacher, will have the opportunity in the next few weeks, and I'm due shortly after because I am in the water and...
Spot on. My wife says the same thing and does the same thing. More tears this year than a smiling face when she gets home. She feels defeated and ineffective. Worried about her "kids" with their poor home lives. Those delivered meals, which a local church has been kind enough to deliver...
Imagine being a teacher (my wife) who had to report to the building during the day to do virtual instruction and then helped our 1st grader with his work when she got home. I wish I could have been more help, but I've been completely swamped since the start of all this. But I am glad to have...
“The common and continual mischiefs of the spirit of party are sufficient to make it the interest and duty of a wise people to discourage and restrain it.” George Washington
Imagine a United States without politicians having a R, D or any other party abbreviation beside their name. People...
Sure looks to be off the same deer. Dad and I found sheds off of a buck over a 7 year period. We found his set 2 times in that period with and single sides the other. We had numerous trail cam pictures of him as well. He had a very distinctive double throat patch. First shed we figured he...
