    Thought I would Stop By

    Steve,

    Unfortunately, I had the same thing happen in May 2015..   The house was a total loss and we also lost some pets that were in the house...   Brutal!!

    My only saving grace is that some of my gear was at camp, so I had a base to build off of..

    I echo your comments on having a list of possesions in your house...   Hopefully you never need it but doing it from memory is difficult and heart wrenching after something like that happens..  Taking a video of the inside of the house can help as well.    and yes, make sure you have replacement value...

    I guess it all depends on the scenario you normally hunt in..   At my place the longest shot I have is 200 yards +/-..   I hunt primarily with a 25.06 and for those distances it performs great.   I have never had a situation where I felt it wasn't "enough gun"...   If I had opportunities to shoot 400 yards, I would like hunt with something else..  Personally, if I was going to buy another rifle it would be a 6.8 western..  Ammo is tight, but how much ammo are you really going to burn thru a hunting rifle.

    I’m not too familiar with the tower smokers, but for the guys who are having issues with keeping temps in cold weather, see if they make a winter blanket for your model. I’ve got one I put on my smoker for the winter and it holds temps very steady and lowers pellet consumption. If they don’t make one for the smoker you have, a welding blanket works just as good.

    I was almost thinking about getting a blanket that would be used to wrap a hot water tank and cutting it down to size..   I will give it a try

    I have the30” masterbuilt.   Works fine and does the job.   Less than $300.  

    Do you have any problem with it getting to 225 when it is below 35 degrees out? I have a similar one and love it but have given up trying to use it in the winter..

    My thoughts on this warm and windy morning hunt…. 

    Its like going on a date with a super hot chick your really into but within a few minutes of the date your getting vibes she ain’t into you at all.

    As i drive right by horse farm I turned into their long driveway through a nice gate with video survailence camera signs on either side. Got about half way down driveway and wussed out to ask permission to roam about their 10-12 horses to retrieve. I really wanted to skin and stretch the pelt and send to Moyles minkery to get garment tanned too. But if per chance a deer gets in there I'm definately going to ask. 

    As the owner of a horse farm, I would be glad to know you were successful in taking out a coyote.   I would also prefer that you asked for permission to retrieve it to prevent me from finding in 10 days from now in a state of decay that I would prefer not to deal with..

    Set this cam Sunday midday. I believe this buck is one I got photos of beginning in late January. No prior photos or appearances. Didn’t think too much of the potential because I expected he was only using our ground in post-season. Zero preseason or velvet photos. Now, whammabammadingdong.

    I only use a butcher than has the ability to hang and age before butchering...    I always chuckle when people say "it was great i had my deer back in 24 hours"...    There is getting the meat off of the bone and wrapping and then there is real butchering...  There is a very big difference between the 2...

    Nice trouts. Know the feeling on the knot. It's like a 20 minute timeout these days to retie.

    I’ve been fortunate enough to

    get 6 boxes of magnum primers at Running Brockport over the course of the past few months..  right place at the right time..

    also lucky to get 4 bottles of 209 powder from cabelas..  happened to look online one day and it was available to order to ship to store, so I did and it went thru.
