    Husqvarna Chainsaw Q.

    I believe that is just a guide for the chain as it comes around and back in the housing, but my old husky looked a lot different than that one. You should be fine to run it.

    What are you currently reading?

    I've been reading "The Filthy Thirteen" about the saboteur paratroopers of D-Day. They were made famous by their exploits as well as their "mohawk" hairdos and warpaint captured by photographers of "Stars and Stripes" magazine just prior to their jump into occupied France. Jake McNiece, their...

    What's good in your life?

    My work has been steady. In fact, I had people calling wanting me to bid on contracts...if I had the time to do them. The family has been healthy and thank God for it. My oldest hasn't had any issues with his asthma necessitating a visit to the hospital, which has been great with all the...

    Pensacola Area Charters?

    We just reserved a rental in Gulf Shores, AL for August 8-15. I've been doing the same thing myself...looking at an inshore trip. I'd end up being the only one though, as the boys are too young to go. Good luck down there. I'll be crabbing off the dock at the house we rented, and fishing...

    Bowtech Icon carbon

    I love mine. Light, easy to shoot, and consistent. It is one of the better bows, for me personally, that I have shot.

    Partial List of Things I Don't Get

    This happened several years ago but it has stuck with me. The irony in Ohio EPA sending out PAPER fliers to every operator in the state to announce that they were offering more forms online to save PAPER. Operators required to have email accounts registered through the state's online reporting...

    Cool Bull Elk Story..

    Didn't know I'd start such an indepth analysis :ROFLMAO: Only on hunttalk. I just thought it was a cool story and that the rack was in exceptionally good shape considering the amount of time that passed. And I especially like that a fellow hunter helped another out. True, it blows that that...

    Rattlesnakes while hunting

    Highly illegal here in Ohio as they are on the state's endangered list.

    Rattlesnakes while hunting

    No pics but my nephew nearly stepped on a Mojave rattler in January during our Arizona hunt. I think he was too scared to remember his cell phone, as I would have been. My only encounter with a rattler happened while I was mushroom hunting many years ago in southern Ohio. Just got through...

    Elk results tomorrow for WY

    Dad and I drew our cow tags. Pretty good that we have put in for it twice and drew twice with less than 10%odds. Had to turn the last tags back in because of forest fires. Hopefully will draw our 2 doe antelope tags and our muledeer tags. Could be a very "meaty" fall if so.

    Has this ever happened to you while turkey hunting?

    I had one sneaking in on a decoy a couple years ago. Unfortunately for him, the turkeys weren't cooperative so he became the target of opportunity.

    Coues Deer in Southern Arizona

    I was out there in January archery and I will be back as soon as I can be. It was probably the most fun I've had on a hunt in recent memory.

    What a find

    That is a beaut. Love the dark coloration on the antlers.

    Water filters/filtering Midwest water.

    Bleach will disinfect, but won't do anything for the chemical contaminants. It can actually make some of them worse by combining to form other forms of contamination. I'd definitely find the cleanest source and wouldn't use just regular old surface water from streams or rivers unless I had...

    Something for the smoker....

    This bird strutted the same area too many times this week. He wouldn't come in to the calls, but sure did like to strut his stuff. Figured out his pattern, and ambushed him this morning. Love it when a plan comes together! Going in the brine in a little while and got a date with the smoker...

    Dad's Ohio whooper

    From base to tip. Realize it doesn't look 1.5 in that picture, but I also wear size XXL gloves so guess that my hands are on the big side lol

    Turkey Shotgun

    Well I'm a shotgun connoisseur myself and I probably own more shotguns than any other type of gun. I haven't really counted, but I have everything from side-by-side double barrel to semiauto. I think a lot of selecting a turkey gun has to depend upon what type of terrain/cover you are...

    Starting a tractor with a shotgun shell...

    There is an antique machinery show every year in our little town. Everything from steam shovels to steam powered brick makers, corn huskers etc. Really cool stuff.
