Finally. Almost had a riiot. Tastes pretty good for a first effort:

Anyone try it? Stuff seems to grow in any soil quickly and recovers quickly. Only needs to be broadcasted. I could see deer liking it. Just curious. My son grows it for his breakfast drink and it got me thinking.

Smoking a brisket. Taking longer than expected but sure smells good!

Yep, all the prior links are disabled unless you pay $39/mo I believe.

Happy Birthday Paula!

Ha - Phade is catching up, at least percentage wise.

Apparently someone had too much time on their hands.

I think it only happens with vertical photos and on steep cliffs.

Belated Happy Bday!

Works if you turn your head. Lol

Since you now have to pay $40/mo to post from PB, just testing another method of posting. Test:

Still 208 tags left in MT

When do we leave. Set it up!

Out of likes but likes!

Hopefully Grampy but my wife isn't real excited about me hunting anything that can eat me. I even explained to Ana that my life insurance is all paid up but she still didn't seem too excited about it. Lol. who knows, time will tell. She was all good with a trip for moose or elk though, my other two kick the bucket hunts. I need a partner in crime! Who's in?

Yes you can. Let's do it Biz!

Not sure Paula, Dan seemed pretty quick when I met him.

You're on. You just have to promise that you run slower than me. You know the old saying .... was at bass pro yesterday and there was a P&Y brown bear mounted. My wife looked at it and me and said "that's what you really want isn't it." I responded with an unequivocal "Yep." Lol

My family loves to joke about it with me. Long story short. Not a tradition in my family and I never really planned to become a hunter. Only have two cousins that are very casual hunters since they grew up in a more rural area. I also had a great uncle that hunted the ADKs but I was too young to really know much about it. 6 years ago, I had booked a charter to take my son and a friend fishing. 1/2 way there driving, I get a call from the captain apologizing profusely because he double booked and we were out. So, trying to ease my son's disappointment, I suggest we buy a pellet gun and do some target shooting. We both had fun. Being obsessive, it quickly turned into high end PSP air rifles and then powder burners. Then it came to me, if I am going to target shoot, why not hunt. My cousins always gave me venison when they got one because neither was a big fan of the meat. I loved it. So, by mid-summer, I took my safety course and got my license. BUT, if I am going to hunt, might as well try bow, since it gives me a longer season and better chance. Took the bow course and bought a bow early September and was reasonably good by opener and off I went to hunt. My cousin offered his property. Sitting in a spot that looked good. Why, I have no idea. The first morning as sun was rising after heading into the dark woods all alone (which was a bit disconcerting), I see something moving. It took my eyes a while to adjust and as it got lighter, it was a small deer (at the time, I wasn't even sure if it was a small doe or a fawn) about 20yds away. Looked pretty small and first encounter in my first hour, I decided not to shoot. My cousin later said, does are small you should have shot. I can say for certain now it was a fawn. That first season was a blast (two with the bow and one with a shotgun) and phade was kind enough to take me under his wing after I asked him a few questions on here - even suggested the spot where I took my first big ole mama doe. Now, 5 seasons and 25 deer under my belt, it remains my favorite time of the year and hobby. I love getting to the stand before sun up and watching the woods come to life. It is so peaceful. Me, Phade and our friend David hunt together 99% of the time and we have fun - ups and downs, but always a blast. I am now obsessed with shooting the stick bow daily. Love the challenge. I don't even shoot the guns that got me started much. All the time spent scouting, prepping, analyzing, setting stands, etc. My wife now jokingly kisses me goodbye on Oct. 1 and says I will see you in late December. Pretty funny, 7 years ago, I never even thought about it. Fall was football season, that's it. How things change. Most of you probably grew up hunting. I guess I would aptly be called a very late starter. lol And, a cancelled charter got it started. I should thank that captain. Not sure what I would do with all that free time if I didn't hunt now. I think my daughter will carry on this new found tradition too! Knowing how obsessive I can be when I get the urge to do something, I recall my cousin saying that first season, yep you will be chasing big game in Africa in no time. I hope he was right. The clock is ticking. I sure wish I started sooner, but am also sure glad I started at all. I figure I still have a good 30 years plus to enjoy if I am fortunate. Just a little personal reflection.

Really cool Wooly. You are very talented.

It would help if you stopped measuring your wife by antler size Larry.

I am not sure how eating way too much unhealthy food somehow honors the independence of the USA, but I did it again.

Grampy you have skills!
