Why not build a small insulated shed and place the hives in there to winter? Not that I know anything about bee keeping, just a thought.

Thanks, sorry just seeing this.

Any means necessary, your boys are lucky to have you.

God bless Eddie, I envy your desire to get out there at your young age. Thats awesome. BTW great buck you took this year, your boys must be proud!!!!

I just don't get the loyalty to a social media platform when a much better alternative is available. Have you seen some of the threads here, some are back and forth conversations with just 2 to 4 members. If thats the case you might as well just text each other.

Exactly, the very few here keep this site going which generates income for a guy that screwed over members. Why the loyalty to a social forum is just mind boggling. People are holding onto this place like it's a part of thier family...lol

Not bizarre, he took members money and ran. That's a scumbag in my book. People and moderators have tried to reach him with no success. I don't do facebook but I wonder if someone can locate him there or on any other social media?

I'm glad he honored your order, you are one of the lucky ones. To be honest he's a scumbag for taking other members money and not giving them thier merch.

I dont think you need more then 1 mod. when you only have 10 daily active members, just saying....lol

Happy birthday

Very nice, you can also stand the wood upright and make like a pedestal mount as shown below.

Merry xmas all, enjoy it with your loved ones!!!!

Very good year so far, between me and 1 of my sons we took 3 shooters off of our 41 acres between the rifle and muzzleloader seasons. Freezer is almost full with healthy lean meat!!! Unfortunately the ML buck was a mercy kill as he was in bad shape otherwise he would have gotten a pass with that half rack. Only got half the meat off him but I didn't do it for the meat, had to end his suffering. All in all a fantastic season with lots of great memories!!! Truly blessed to be able to hunt these elusive animals.

My plans for the late season was to get 1 more deer to finish off our season. Had to use my muzzleloader tag Saturday afternoon on this poor fella. Was in stand not 15 minutes and was in the process of getting layered up with clothes when I caught movement over 100 yards away. Picked up binos and saw it was a mature buck but was a half rack. I thought it was the half racked 8 point I had on cam but turned out to be another buck. As he was walking i noticed a limp in his back leg, as he got within 50 yards i could see he was in ruff shape and that 1 leg was held in the air. Had all intentions of letting him go till next year until I saw his shape. He would have never made it thru the winter, was happy to end his suffering. I waited roughly 20 mins.from the time I first saw him to get a clean shot. I settled the 50 cal. ML on his front shoulders, he dropped, as he rolled down the mountain the one side of his rack fell off. In all I was able to salvage, 1 back leg, tenderloins and backstraps. The very next day I could have taken a bull of a 7 pointer however I'm content with using my ML tag on this guy, felt I did the right thing, definitely wasn't for the amount of meat. I know shit happens but boggles my mind how someone can hit a deer so far back and low. Please don't take running shots, don't shoot thru brush, practice shooting!!!!! Rant over, thanks for reading. Happy Holidays all!!!!!
