    Summer canning

    63 pints of salsa, about 16 or so half pints of choke cherry jelly, don't remember the count on green beans and sweet pickled beets. Forgot we canned a fair amount of brook trout earlier this summer. I'm finally done, it's time to go do something fun.

    (Questions/Advice) Wife wants to start hunting

    My first rifle was a Winchester feather weight pre 64 .308, nice rifle but kicks like a mule. Second rifle I bought is a Weatherby .270 that thing is heavy and really kicks like a mule. Used a .243 Tikka and love it. But not enough rifle at times. Bought a Browning Hells Canyon 6.5 creedmore...

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    Retirement is great. Was totally burned out with the job. Retired 4 years ago at 61. But one thing non of you are talking about is what is your retirement plan? I mean what have you figured out what you want to do with your days/years? We made a game plan and are sticking to it pretty much...

    Eh yous Canadians - Hows bout you put dat fire out eh?

    This was central Idaho about 7 years ago middle of the day. It's very refreshing to have all this moisture so far this year and no smoke. The longer the moisture the shorter the fire season is. We've eaten so much smoke from Oregon, Washington and California over the last 20 years it isn't...

    2023 Garden!

    Opened up all the hoops yesterday. Had 4 or so stalks of corn get frost nipped. Spuds got nipped but only the very tops. The rest of the garden did well. T-storms coming in this afternoon with a chance of small hail. I'm sure glad we don't get hail like the mid west does. Always learning how to...

    Idaho 36b Buck slayers?

    Good luck. The last major winter die off has left the area with about the same age class of bucks. There might be some bigs ones here and there. Then this past winter hit the deer hard again. Finding a lot of winter kill all over now we can get out into the hills. 3 and small 4points is all we...

    Hello?

    They right shoulder is doing great. I think I've over done the rehab and have inflamed the left shoulder muscle. So I've backed off the rehab and lightened up the rep's for the left shoulder and it's helping. Just dealing with foot pain again. Slowly getting it under control. Got to love being...

    Hello?

    Anyone still out there ladies? How's the spring going? Wet or dry? We've gotten a lot of rain so far this spring. Kind of nice but can see problems down the road when it stops raining and dries out. A lot of fuel for wild fires in the BLM type grounds. Hoping the forest is wet and stays wet...

    Why do you hunt?

    I have thought about this for years. I was born to hunt is about all I can come up with. My parents hunted so was born into it. I truly enjoy the fall weather the excitement of being out in the woods/hills and sagebrush. It's something primeval in my DNA. I just plain enjoy deer hunting. It's...

    Sure signs of summer in your area

    The hoards of UTV riders on the weekends. The hoards of RV's up and down the roads and the hoards of rafters. Robins in the yard and the humming birds. The cottonwood trees and all of the cotton flying. This year it's rain(which I'll take) and all the weeds!

    2023 Garden!

    It's amazing what some of you are growing and what you are growing them in. I took a chance and planted a little over 2 weeks ago. Usually have a chance of frost clear into the first week of June around here. It took a while for everything to come up. Not enough heat so got out the plastic and...

    bicep/shoulder workout

    Yes I do Hunting' Fool, but I went to physical rehab to learn it. After major shoulder surgery and a fall over the dog last winter and back into rehab I finally feel strong and the shoulders are tight. I do weight curls and band work but it's the learning that will get you there faster than...

    Another Shoulder Surgery Thread

    Well, that is what you get for either doing things wrong or letting it go for so long. You'll be glad it done and over with. I put off shoulder surgery for 22 years. Finally broke down a year ago and had a total reversed replacement. Yeah 6 weeks in the sling gets old but the shoulder is good...
