A sign of things to come ?

Tenderloin

Well fine then!

Venison Heart Bruschetta

I didn't carry the camera as much as I wanted to this past fall, but I did get a few new shots. Figured I'd post up some color since we're stuck in this white and brown pattern for a few months yet.

Walked my spot a couple hours today.

Back in the day, I used to drag 'em out for the old guys. Now I IS the old guys..If I am hunting alone and can't the machine close to 'em, I don't shoot 'em.. One exception is the place I hunt in PA...It's downhill all the way to the truck.

FYI, No need to sign up for a Cabelas credit card. There is a NRA booth/counter with a local rep. set up just inside the door to sign up for the NRA. You can walk in sign up & leave if you want.

Hey the law is the law. You have something in the smoker, you're drinking beer.

The altitude sickness can be punishing. Machu Picchu isn't that bad because it's only 6K feet. Cusco is where you'll most likely be staying (closest big city to Machu Picchu) is the problem. It's over 11K feet. Kicked my butt. Guinea Pig taste fine. Sort of like squirrel. It's the skin I don't like. A bit slimy. If you're not into it and just want to sort of "dip your toes" into it, have it chicharron style. That's when they chop it up into cubes, batter it then deep fry it. You won't know it's guniea pig at that point. When in Peru, make sure you get a chance to go to Puno and visit the Uro people on Lake Titicaca. It's an entire village that floats in the lake. It's equally if not more impressive than Machu Picchu. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Here is the finished product. And then comes the build your own Sundae bar!! Both the kids have friends staying over tonight so we decided to make it fun for them.

Couldn't quite get the Gilson to my 2nd buck this year, had to drag him 10 feet. (I take the tiller/PTO deck off & put a tilt trailer on it in the fall)

Thanks again Tommy, it was nice to finally meet you and put a face to the screen name! Pleasure doing business with you! If you decide to go for the extra 5 for 100 let me know! And Paul - good luck today!

Went 0 for 3 on cottontails this morning. I never got a shot but the other guys missed. Best part was the dog got on his first rabbit. He was whining while on the track and then he started yipping and then that awesome beagle howl. He is getting better each time we go out.

Here's some mammal shots. The daytime shots are from the bone yard - where the carcasses go once they are picked over. The last photo is the golden that was caught this week.

FYI, NRA weekend is Feb. 13-14 at Cabela's . Sign up or renew your membership to the NRA & get a $25 Cabela's gift card! Support our 2nd amendment.! You don't have to agree with Everything they say, but at least the magazines keep you up to date with what's going on with the people trying to take away our rights! I also just read in one of my magazines (can't find the exact quote but something like this) "That if All the legal gun owners in NY state would vote against Hillary, it would screw up the electoral vote & she could not get in office." lets do it!

If they're going to the game they better hustle

We have a neighbor that has two in his front yard...they produce like mad every year, I know they are at least 20 yrs old.....but I'm not sure if they are native...in Avon we had two natives and man did they produce a ton of chestnuts every year...I missed those trees. Which is why I planted the Chinese ones here years ago... I am planting for my age...as I get older there will be less I want or can do...so I'm planning on self sufficient plots. Ones with good soil and tilth for good legumes and grasses under maturing hard and soft mast trees and bushes...... The plot in the picture is on the edge of the red oaks that are producing...that area alone has 12 producing oak out of the 200 on the property.

I found an American Chestnut tree a few years back. Notified the American chestnut society ( didn't know of such as thing ) and they promptly charted it on map.. Neat tree and nut .

Deer liver & onions tonight. It's the only "venison" my wife will eat.

Stewie says it better.

Sorry PREDATE.......just having a little fun.

Always know how to get a group on your side. I enjoy the big city, visit it at least once a year to see my friends. But with all the money in the world I wouldn't call it home. Please understand that we're all different. I enjoy a big piece of land for my family to enjoy. You can enjoy your easy access. I will enjoy my freedom to carry a firearm and you can enjoy endless entertainment options. There is no right or wrong place to call home.

Elmo, that spread looks awesome !!!!

put the TP in the freezer and you're all good

Here's one on EBay Look at this on eBay: http://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/201503561124 Leupold VX-3i Rifle Scope 2.5-8X36 Duplex Reticle Matte 170678

You must be hammered if using TF's method with a beer in your hand while cooking. Cheers!!

This pork butt is at 155. Three hours in the smoker and six in the oven at 215. This is going to be a 12 hour ordeal

Although Hoppe's will clean copper, it's more of a carbon solvent than it is for copper. If you've shot over 500 rounds and only took 8 patches to clean, you either have a really good barrel, or didn't clean it enough. Try soaking a patch with solvent and leave it there for 10-15 mins, and then run a dry patch and see what the color is. Hoppe's a very mild solvent and take its time to do its work.

Haha. Never shot a rabbit, let alone wrapped it in prosciutto and cooked in lol Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Danno, I am working on a draft for a custom pot call display as we speak. Pretty much have the design down, just have to get it into production. My computer desk has a couple of shelves that I store my box calls in. Have a total of 8 so far and a couple of them have been built for me by a good friend of mine from Wisconsin. These are my go to box calls during the spring season.

Rob and shawn, this is pretty important for people to see. If it was put in the political section then you both would not have commented or even read it? Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk

Yea put a Lil angle toward the ground with a lip on the front edge to hold calls from sliding off so can actually view the whole call and even the board underneath Sent from my SM-N920V using Tapatalk

Good thought, Rob, and I have been considering a shelf.... Actually, I have one that would work well... Back in the 1930s, my great grandfather came into possession of some black walnut, and decided that he would build his own coffin from it. Lo and behold, the old gent kicked the bucket before he got the coffin finished. I am not sure WHAT he got buried in. However, my grandfather's brother ( my great uncle) took pieces of the walnut lumber and built shelves out of it, and gave a shelf to each member of the family. I have the shelf that was given to my paternal grandfather, who probably never even saw a wild turkey, since he died in 1967... It may just be a very fitting way to display my box calls..

punch Michael Moore in the face…square on…full force..And not be sued or have to pay for the 15 jars of mayonnaise, that he was carrying at the time. which all broke when his tub of goo ass hit the ground…... Not that I have thought about it much….or am still working out the details on………….

To be able to sit with my wife at the old people's table, for the reception, after my grandsons weddings. And complain about the music being too darn loud!

I Do not believe in bucket lists...enjoy what you do as it comes your way.In this you don't spend your later sedintary years regretting the things you did'nt manage to do.

Called in a nice Red Fox last week. Hide is tanning as we speak.

The Ruger 1022 with cci longs work fine.

Trusty Old M1 Carbine !

Well I wasn't overly confident with the high winds this afternoon. I had only seen a small buck and was getting pretty bored. Then I hear noise behind me to the right. I quickly see he's a shooter, grab my bow and stand up. At this point he's maybe 12yrds from the stand. He hears the stand make alittle noise when I stand up, he looks around for a second and takes a couple steps and I grunt to stop him and get it fly. He went maybe 70yrds.
