    i'm bored, and i wanna talk Slingshots!!

    i got this bug up my butt to revisit my youth.  i was so accurate as a kid when my mom; in her infinite wisdom thought it would be a good idea to buy her two tiny sons Wrist-Rockets.  we got good!! i would hit sparrows at 20 yards with dirtclods.  i did have that thing taken away when i winged...

    For a super sharp knife edge. I use this.

    Probably overkill for a hunting knife; but I'm a knife sharp freak!  I keep this in my office for keeping my knife sharp. Easier to stay sharp than to sharpen a dull knife. Oh boy! This put a polished edge on my pocket knife. I put one drop and smear it around on the belt loop od a tool sheath...

    something to discuss.. attitude while hunting.

    i love my brother.  he is fit, dedicated, and gets after it.  he keeps me motivated to unzip that damn sleeping back at dark-thirty every morning.  we hunt hard.  and he is always willing to go on any far fetched hair brained hunt i come up with. but he has one downside.  his attitude when...

    Buck fever.

    My trip is over. I?m home. 5000+ more miles on my truck by adding thanksgiving trip to the tail end. Killed two day limit on sandhill crane. Success! Did my best stalk ever.......on a giant jackrabbit.  Saw him at 100 yards and stalked like ninja to 25 yards.  Then made the best kneeling shot...

    the downside to running binoculars on a tripod.

    it makes freehand holding them damn near unbearable.  i get nauseous more often freehand holding them.  like going back to non-HD TV after watching HD-TV. :) oddly enough i found the biggest blurriest buck freehand holding..by pure luck.  hahah..i am shocked i saw it..i wouldnt have if it didnt...

    Big game from the sky!

    daaaaannng! Day one of sandhill crane hunting is behind us. This morning was insane. Craneaggedon!  The first group landed so far away; I was dejected.  I thought, Crap, just perfect. I had earplugs in so I could not hear the birds. I look behind us and the sky was black. Err. Okay. I calmed...

    So happy that is over. CA fire!

    what a mess. My neighborhood spent several harrowing days watching a fire skirt our borders.  We evacuated TWICE!  They green lighted us to come back. Fire fighters from all over the country got it done. I saw a fire engine company from N Carolina I think! No electricity the entire time...

    80

    went to the range yesterday.  Love where I live, but the bow range options suck. So, always looking for the best way to optimize my range time. I started at the 80 yarder. First shot was money.  Perfect bulls .  then things went back to normal.  6-8" groups. I shot a few rounds.  Then I ...
