Not so much in my area, but on our other farm across the hollows, all hell breaks loose. It starts at crack of dawn and runs until the enemy surrenders. I believe they knock their telecommunications out, then their runways are bombed, LOL.
The Bear 582 is a nice knife. The only thing that turns me off is the India stag bone. Not a true 100% American knife. Many are stated American, but most aren't 100% today.
Shipping is a killer, something like $20 bucks a tire.
I install my own as I been doing it on tractors and combines for 30 years. If I can handle a a 30.5L x 32, I certainly can install a 16" car tire, LOL.
I've sat on the ground, away from good size trees more this season, than any other season just for this reason. I had a " near" widow maker teach me years ago, to respect the wind
Should of had a V-8, LOL.
Rain and wind since noon. I'm heading out now. An 8" tree got torn up 100' from the house last night. Rub a little salt in my wounds.
It took me a good deal longer to mentally prepare for shooting deer with a bow, say 5 years. At that time period and I lets some dandies walk by too. IDK, a bullet just seemed more ethical then an arrow to me. Maybe it was because I was just more comfortable with a gun then a bow. I like a good clean kill. Theirs just so much more room for error with a bow and arrow.
