Years ago I found a simple deep fryer recipe in an outdoor magazine. Cut the breast up into strips, put them in a bowl and cover them with buttermilk, leave in the fridge overnight. Beat up a couple of eggs and dip the Turkey breasts in the eggs, then dredge them in good quality seasoned bread crumbs giving them a coating. Deep fry and enjoy! Al

I do not take any Hens but have no problem killing Jakes or older Toms. Al

Nice! Congratulations! Al

After watching Shoots100's videos hunting with a thermal scope I could not stand it any longer and decided it was time for me to give one a try. Did not want to go overboard because for one thing I will not be using it a whole lot and I like to give it a try to see if I liked it. If I fall in love I may upgrade down the road. I wanted something for my Remington 597 22 mag, it is my go to rifle for varmints here on the farm and has always did it's job out to 150 yards or so. I looked over some entry level scopes and read a pile of reviews and decided on trying a RIX Storm S2, one step up from their entry level model, it should be just the ticket for what I am looking for. Mounted it up on the Remington and charged the battery, now I will wait until I get some good weather and get this rig sighted in. Al

Congratulations, way to go! Al

I try to be where I plan on setting up before daylight. Al

Congrats, nice bird. Al

More proof for the need to abolish the department of education.

Took my pup Airedale Ruff for a walk in the woods and he found himself a small antler, been doing just a little rudimentary training shown in some youtube videos and it paid off. Al

My two Royal Palm gobblers, the hens have been laying and one is setting on a nest, it will be interesting to see if she hatches them out. Al

I have collected a few bows down through the years and all of my archery equipment is what most would call vintage, it all works well for the shooting I do, the newer compounds hold zero interest for me. I still have my first new bow bought mail order from Cabela's back in the late sixties, a Bear Super Kodiak, it is the one I have used and shot the most and is my favorite. It remains is in pretty good condition and I still shoot it well. I still get my bow license but I have not bow hunted in quite a few years now, I do quite a bit of target shooting in the summer on nice days. Al

I use the corner of my mouth. Al

One of my favorite firearms the TC Encore is now again available for purchase with updated improvements, I wish them good luck. Al

Same here, once the snow melted things really started picking up around my place with the Turkeys out and about. Al

Have a good one!!! Al

Train your dog, a well trained shed dog can dramatically increase the number of sheds that can be found. While there is no doubt some breeds better than others, I think most dogs can be trained to find sheds. Youtube has tons of videos to get someone interested started in a pretty interesting sport, I was kind of surprised on how many participate with their dogs locating sheds, there is even a shed hunt competition.

It appears to be an original under hammer muzzleloader, can't tell the make of yours but I remember seeing replica rifles and pistols of that design for sale when the muzzleloading craze first started taking hold 40 or 50 years ago. I believe Navy Arms sold some under hammer firearms made by Hopkins & Allen. It is a neat old piece for sure. I found a photo of a replica Hopkins & Allen and posted it below Al

I am chopping at the bit, going to clean some fish the way I did when I was a kid, no filleting, just gutting and scaling. Picked up an cordless electric scaler, hope it works as well as the old corded job I used many years ago. Al

Two good scores Wolc.

I would be carrying on doing the same as I always have. Al

A flock of nine showed up this morning roaming in my pastures, glad to see they made it through a pretty rough winter, they are tough birds for sure. Al

For bushcraft and camping it would be tough to beat. Al
