Homeschooling
My wife is a 6th grade science teacher. She has mixed feelings about homeschooling. If you are an attentive parent, have a stable home life, etc., it will probably be fairly easy for you all. Our school district is planning on 5 days/week school with lots of precautions. Virtual learning...- dcopas78

Is the Coronavirus a Joke to some People?
I'm not gonna get in to estimating how many or how few deaths have been associated with Covid19, but I will relay an event that happened that I personally know is true. I work side by side with the paramedics and the fire chief in our small city. The chief got called out on a EMS run about a... -
shortest shot on a big game animal?
I've shot several whitetail with a bow under 5 yards. On one of my very first turkey hunts, and the first chance I'd had at a mature gobbler, dad called one in to me so close that I could have hit it with the gun barrel. I got so nervous I couldn't shoot. The turkey finally figured out we... -

Is the Coronavirus a Joke to some People?
Very true, but filters only filter so much, which is what I was eluding to. If you are going to wear masks, change them often. The longer you wear it, the less effective it becomes. We don't run our water filters indefinitely without backwashing or recharging, a face mask is no different... -
Is the Coronavirus a Joke to some People?
N95 stops 95% of particles 300 nanometers or larger Average coronavirus size is 120 nanometers It may stop the droplets, and prevent a widespread cloud of "goo", but it ain't gonna stop it from getting through. My guess is that it will follow physics like any other particle and be "wicked" to... -

Advice & referrals for buying some undeveloped hunting land in Wyoming?
I have similar aspirations, although I'm actually interested in land and a home for when I retire. The plan is to spend a significant portion of my time wherever I buy, and still own my house in Ohio to spend time here as well. I'm nearly debt free at 41 and the last several years of my...- dcopas78

Perfect cooler for a elk....
Dad and I bought a 400 Qt. Grizzly that was clearanced down to $600. We split the bill. It has been incredibly handy. We brought 2 bulls home in it that we had processed. The meat wasn't frozen when we put it in the cooler. Loaded some dry ice on top, covered with our sleeping bags, sealed...- dcopas78

Cancelled trips...
Two trips----Black Hills Turkey we canceled in May, and just got through canceling our summer vacation to Gulf Shores, AL that was scheduled to start August 8th. The good thing is we had houses rented through VRBO for both places and the owners rescheduled to next year for us with no additional...- dcopas78

Is the Coronavirus a Joke to some People?
I'm still not. I can be careful traveling and hunting out there the same as I am around here. Probably moreso. @NoWiser , sorry to hear about your grandpa. Praying for a miracle for you all -
ALBINO BULL !!
I've saw a few piebald whitetail over the years. My dad hunted a small piebald buck harder than he hunted any of his big bucks on archery season. He finally harvested him on the second to last day of the season. He was a tough deer to get. He was rarely with any other deer, and he was... -

Update - Thoughts/prayers requested
Looks like I'm clear of the 'rona. Big relief to know I wasn't spreading it to my in laws and parents this weekend. I consulted with my doctor via virtual appointment today after receiving the tests and he seems to think that we both probably just have some type of virus. Thank you all for...- dcopas78

Update - Thoughts/prayers requested
I'm now sitting at home in quarantine awaiting covid19 results. I actually posted on one of the other threads about sore legs which I attributed to not using my insoles in my new boots. Well the next morning I was so stiff that I could barely make it downstairs to the bathroom. I still didn't...- dcopas78

Gettin old aint for wusses
I thought it was a good idea to not put my orthotic insoles in my new boots. I don't like how they wear out the inside of my boots prematurely. I'll be darned if I was gonna ruin my new Hanwags. My feet thought otherwise and after a couple months, my legs are all jacked up at the moment...- dcopas78
