YES!!!! The empty tank of gas is the norm around here. She literally has to pass 6 stations between her store and home yet I will jump in and it will literally be on fumes.
I used mine in 2019 for an Oct 24-28 ( or somewhere around there) muzzy hunt for elk in NM ( Unit 9). Jimmy Tarps Hudson with a Light Outdoors stove. Granted I am getting a little softer than I was 5-10 years ago but man was it nice getting dressed in a warm area and having the boots be warm...
Yeah my MIL and the way she asks for her burgers to be done. Basically a hockey puck. She ALWAYS cuts it in half to check instead of just taking a bite. Then makes the most god awful bitter beer face if it is not dark brown all the way through.
While my 6 year old takes a bite and says "...

I have been religiously wearing gaiters anytime outside in the woods, regardless of weather or seasons since 1998. They are an extra barrier for ticks in the spring/summer on top of the obvious keeping your pants dry. They protect your laces, etc..
Unfortunately mine are on their last leg...
It truly is a sad state of affairs. I come from a long line of Little League coaches/umpires/district administrators etc.. My grandpa was one of the four founding members of my home town little league, was involved from the late 50's till the day he died 10 years ago. Heck the field is...
Update from us:
Wife and I are still experiencing runny noses then total congestion, trouble sleeping ( her more than me), coughing during the evening. Weird as it comes and goes. My wife is at day 13 from positive test, I am at day 9 or 10 ( I can't keep track anymore). I worked in the...
So we went to Cancun for Christmas and New Years. All 6 of us. We are all double shot vaccinated/boostered and our two oldest daughters are boostered. Only the 6 and 9 year old do not have a booster.
We were there for 12 days and tested negative the day before the flight. Arrived back in...
Sounds like last year for me. Our then 10 year old daughter took her first deer a couple hours after I dropped a doe during Missouri's anterless season back in 2019. 2020 we were back to do some doe damage again and our then 13 year old daughter was on the rifle and we just couldn't get it to...
My 2005 Hoyt Vtec is still my daily bow. I love it. Can't bring myself to trade it in or sell it to spend $$$ on a new one. It's quiet, accurate, and just keeps throwing arrows where they need to go. Unless it blows up or Hoyt stops making common parts for it I will keep it in use.
I have...
I should qualify my original post. I did not start getting razor sharp edges until I purchased a Lansky Diamond Stone. My Lansky kit did not come with one. If you don't have one it may be worth the 20 bucks to try it out before throwing in the towel on it.
This happened to a fellow in camp back in 1999 in CO. He was perched above an aspen grove when a lone cow elk stepped out about 20 minutes before dark. He shot her. He had one cow tag. About a minute later a lone cow elk comes walking out about 30 yards from where he saw her re-enter the...
Good luck on your hunt. Don't forget a 6x50x90 variable scope cause you ain't hunting if it ain't over a 500 yard shot.
Flat brim cap is regulation too. Keep Hammerin!
I broke out the Martin Dreamcatcher a month ago, strung her up and shot some old XX78 super slams I used 25 years ago for indoor Techo Hunt. I purchased the Dreamcatcher back in 1997, used it in 1998, missed a really nice buck at 18 yards on the ground, and went back to a compound. It wasn't...
I use a Lansky to put the finished edge on all the knives I make/sell. I use my belt grinder to put the unfinished edge on, then finish with the Lanksy. In the kitchen I have a 3 year old cleaver that I made from an old saw blade of 8670 steel. I use it every day to cut, cleave, slice, mince...
I have used Tyvek for my floorless Tipi and really like it. Yes it is a little noisy, but if you throw it in the washer and dryer ( no heat) with a tennis shoe it softens up nicely..
Its been good so far. I have taken two deer in the reduction zone, a doe and a little 5 pointer. I am an equal opportunity arrow flinger, especially with the last 4 years pretty much only hunting with my daughters ( but I wouldn't change that). We were out of Venison and we eat alot of it...
Hunted up there from 98-2002. We turned off pavement at Edwards and headed up. In our camp(s) we took some of big deer. A 196, 203, some high 160's. None of the guys I went there with go up there any more. They stopped around 04 or 05. They had been hunting up there since the 70's I...
Yep. I have used it in a tipi and it worked very well. I threw it in the washer and washed it, then in the dryer ( no heat) with two tennis shoes in with it. Softened it up nicely. Doesn't weigh much and I stayed dry putting it on top of snow.
