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.

I can understand it some. Hell I talked to the guys on here more than most of my family. Lol. But to say it's "better" now is just ridiculous. And it could be fixed with minimal effort
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.

A bunch tried Facebook and no response. Including the mods. John said he was still very active on Facebook but didn't respond to him either. He's walked away which is his prerogative as he is the owner. But why anyone stays out of some sort of loyalty is beyond me. He prob just tired of it and still pulls in a little $ without doing anything so why close it.
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

This kind of behavior from a forum owner is really quite bizarre. I am wondering if something happened to him. None of it seems logical.
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 guess I was lucky when I ordered gear from the site. John actually sent me a bunch of other thing along with my order, it was nice.
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.

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!!!!!

I had done it once because that's the shot I had, I was using a 50 Cal. MZ , shot was at base of neck on a big buck, dropped immediately. My much preferred shot is to take out both front shoulders, drop instantly.

Been toating my dad's 60 year old 35 remington, he passed 3 years ago and I find comfort using his rifle. It has served me very well through the years. Took this buck with it last season. The 2nd pic shows the 35 on another buck i took on a previous year.

It's funny but if I go on the other site it is slow and has problems with uploading images at times. This site no problems.
I don't experience this when on the other forum. Maybe contact a mod over there about your issues with the pics..

Hey I built a few stone walls yesterday. Ran into a few snakes. Picked them up with gloves on and moved them across the road.
That's what toy do, people that kill them purposely are dumb. Good man.

So my wood shed is about 15 feet behind the house. It's a great place for mice, red squirrels and snakes to hang out. I can deal with mice and squirrels but snakes creep me out. I go behind the shed today and there are two 4 foot plus garter snakes, another small one and a snake that had an orange belly all suning themselves. I threw some rocks at them and they headed back into the wood shed, great! I know its a good balance to keep the rodent population under control but they just freak me out. I'll take any suggestions please!
Leave them alone and they won't bother you. Good for rodent control.
