    Initial Success or Total Failure!

    Well, that was anti-climactic. We just rolled in. The rain washed out the first day. We ended up leaving a day later and coming back a day sooner so it ended up only being a three day trip. The leg held up pretty good and I didn't have to take any pain medicine for it. Only had one small fire...

    Initial Success or Total Failure!

    Initial Success or Total Failure That's the motto of EOD. It's on our T-shirts, bumper stickers and coffee cups. It doesn't always hold true, but it's the mindset that we go into every incident with. In Nov or 2004, I got away with a mistake that should have cost me my life. Yesterday a friend...

    Bow opinions

    The $500.00 bows of today all seem to be better than the $1,000.00+ bows of 5-10 years ago. Like everyone else has said, the one that shoots and feels the best to you is the one that is right. I went from an older Matthews Featherlight to a Bear Method. Sacrilegious if you ask Cush. I shot a...

    Why I can't wait to get home

    Ode to Uncle Elton

    Wow, how many beavers can he possibly have left. You are slaying them like crazy. Wasn't part of the deal for Lawn boy that is he rode along, he had to help with the skinning duties as well? It's only fair.

    Springtime in Texas

    A field of Bluebonnets definitely makes me think of my home state! That cute little thing in pink would be cute in any state!

    Help! Pickup toppers

    Unless you're creative. Then you can do it by yourself. I bought two ceiling hanging bike racks from Wally-world. Mounted them to crossbeams in my garage. My Bronco topper is very heavy and I'm able to lift it by myself and it stores out of the way at the top of the garage. Might be something to...

    PREGNANT or Hunt?

    Puts it all onto perspective. I'm very sorry to hear that Dustin. I know that it took us 6 years, surgery's, fertility medicine and all kinks of grief before we were able to have Garrett. I would have taken him any time that he would come. Because I'm gone so much with my job, I already make...

    Why I can't wait to get home

    Don this is a quote from the Illinois DNR website:Effective April 1, 2012, the Illinois Fish and Aquatic Life Code, and the Illinois Wildlife Code were amended to set the fees for fishing licenses, sportsmen's combination licenses, and hunting licenses for resident veterans (after returning from...

    Why I can't wait to get home

    I echo Minnesota and Cush's comments. Hunting back home and hunting here couldn't be any more different. When I'm back home, I'm not hunting for blood, I'm reconnecting with nature and finding peace. Hunting here is the polar opposite. Though it's scary, exciting and stressful, all at the same...

    Wilkinson Part 8 + 'Last Best Dead Place'

    While you are out getting your art supplies, can you swing by Subway and pick me up a samich? Sorry I couldn't resist. I was born and raised in Texas too. :D Please don't tell my wife that I made this poor taste joke or she will hit me up side the head with a samich. :W: On a serious note, you...

    Why I can't wait to get home

    Totally agree. Like I said, most EOD techs don't like the Hurt Locker movie. I could relate to some of it but Hollywood ruined it like they do a lot of things. If you mention the movie in EOD school, you are in for a bad day. Way too much hollywood. I've never put on a hoodie and went into...
