This is the boat I am in as well. As a veteran with over 10 years of service, to be treated like a criminal by a punk kid was not only demeaning but infuriating as well. I have always been respectful but relinquishing my rights to have someone search my boat, vehicle or camp without cause is...
I am not certain of the legality of these searches. I am by no means a lawyer, but what legal right constitutes these searches? Just because I am driving through? You have to give consent for an officer to search your vehicle in Florida and I've hunted in Colorado and New Mexico and have never...
Thanks guys. We take it one day at a time with him and for those who have done this before, some days are like broken records. We just remain calm with him and enjoy our time together. I like to take him for laps around Home Depot or Walmart and not buy anything but it gives him exercise and...
Guy, me and the wife will have to live vicariously through your eyes this year. We have taken in my father who is battling Alzheimer's right now. He is a tough old bird at 88 and I made him a promise that I wouldn't put him in a home unless he wanted to or we couldn't do it anymore. Last night...
We had a famous poacher here in Northeast Florida that ended up becoming great friends with the warden that finally caught him. It took years before he was caught and he was never a folk hero by any means but the news did run a story on how he has since helped the wardens change their tactics in...
That is good stuff right there. The best part is sharing those memories with your dad. I have that exact tent. It held up well for our trip to Colorado last year.
This is absolutely insane to believe that sportsmen would get a fair ruling form the 9th circuit. In Florida, we had one bear hunt a few years ago that was supposed to be an annual hunt. There were over 300 bears killed in a 3 day period and this was supposed to take 30 days. The largest black...
I have that gun, put a timney trigger on it, upgraded the stock to a hogue overmolded full bed/block and took it hunting cows this year. She did just fine. I typically shoot core lokt for deer here in the Southeast but shot 160 grain nosler partitions for the cow. Again, no complaints. I am not...
I just shot a whitetail buck about 120 yards Saturday afternoon with a 280 and the 162 grain nosler partitions. Shot went in quartering to me at the right shoulder and I found the bullet in the offside ham. It wrecked the right shoulder making it unusable and the buck went 30 yards and crashed...
