Yanks and Sox! Let's deal em up and let the cards fall where they may! Go Yanks!

Bell peppers have been awesome. Green beans delicious! Waiting for more cherry tomatoes to ripen.

Tight lines TreeGuy!!!! Kick some butt at the tourney!!!

You should have trademarked that picture/image moog! Could have payed for your African plains game trip!! As artists, you and Ana, are almost as famous as wooly!!! That's noteriotie big time!!!

Cool mount, and good taste in art work! Funny how that painting just appears when least expected. Awesome!

Can I trade my tree stand and hunting boots, for a beach cabana and flip flops?

You make too much sense Dan. I never even knew about 'gun printing' until recently. So this post is a good way to gain information without the TV spin.

I agree with you moog. The other thing is, these printed guns have no serial number and are untraceable. Not so sure that is something we want a lot of. There are just too many bad guys out there. The law abiding gun owner will have no problem with a serial number on their firearm.

Keep at it! You will be fine for this season. Those guy's will get you going in the right direction. Practice, is what will help a bunch too. First time is always kinda awkward...............

Amazon is another good place to look. Have gotten some super sweet deals there.

Having sat through the firearms and bow classes with my grandson, a couple years ago, I was glad, I sat through the "refresher course" myself!! After almost 50 years of hunting for me, I still learned some things, and heard some great points I had forgotten! You can never be TOO SAFE!! Most hunting accidents, happen to the experienced hunters, not the newbies! I highly recommend anyone that has hunted for a LONG time, to sit through a course with a kid, or new hunter, as a mentor! The course consists of a total review, of the online homework. Could the online part be enough to get a new hunter started? Yes. But, will it be better than a hands on course? No way. Especially for the hunter who does not have other hunters in the family or a mentor to actually show safety techniques. I can't speak for all instructors, or places where the courses are held, but these guys (volunteers) at Woodlawn Sportsmans Club, were simply AWESOME! So much so, that I joined the club. And this September, for the first time, I will be a volunteer instructor as well. These guys have real hands on things, like all different types firearms, and how they operate. Real treestands, hung on a tree, to demonstrate treestand safety. A real bloodline to observe and follow. Actual shooting at clay birds and livefire 22LR. How to safely carry, transport, load, and care for a firearm, or bow, again hands on. Also the wealth of hundreds of years of combined experience, to share with new hunters, in my opinion is invaluable. Hey, I try to stay up with the times. Online is GREAT, and so easy and convenient. But sometimes, for some things, hands on, eye to eye instruction, by a team of experienced instructors, "could" be more beneficial. JMO.

Happy hanging! Keep safe! This first year hunting your own property is going to be a blast!

Since we actively started hunting coyotes, and most importantly had a trapper come to the property, it has as helped our deer population. Yes we do still have coyotes. But are not over run with them, like we were at one time. There seems to be a good balance now, between coyotes and deer. We actually look forward to the fun and challenge of hunting them, after deer season.

It sure does seem, that is the state of things these days!

Just an excepted part, of getting a few years behind you my friend. Nothing to worry about. Unless you have something in the oven. Grin.....

Good to see ya back here! That really sucks, having some scumbag steal your gear. Man do I hate stories like this!

Great group of fellers there! No doubt it was a great time! Would have loved to be there.

Nice!!! That eight is out past his ears! Anticipation is building now!

Got a couple packs of backstrap cutlets that I'm saving for our annual picnic in August. And three or four one pound packs of ground. The rest is all gone. It would have all been gone a while ago if my 14 year grandson had his way! That boy can chow down on venison! He needs to shoot his own deer this year........grin

Great saw wooly! Now lets see what it can make in the hands of a master! Can't wait to see!

Happy Birthday!

I was down in Albany a couple months ago at the rally. Didn't see you there?

Coyote.

When you start hearing giggling, and toys start to move by themselves, Who Ya Gonna Call?

Kinda looks like a kid wearing a hat, carrying a school book??? Sun seems to be on the other side of your house, so that would rule out a reflection. I'm sure there is an explanation for the strange appearance of a GHOST along side your house!
