Fun times there.....great story and fun pictures.....bonus antler...

Always a tough day when you lose your Dad.....great tribute and we could use a few more like him.

Plague of the horned caterpillar......that is crazy there......

It has been ten years since we hunted 36B and it was nasty filthy with trash down there then. Eye opener for me and my family as we had not hunted down there since 85-86. I remember watching through a spotting scope a couple of what I believe were hunters trying on pants that were left in the wash, that was kinda funny but hey,the pants were in great condition. I find it interesting that we are worried about border wars and be-headings in foreign countries but don't really pay much attention to our own border and be-headings going on by Los Zetas......just saying does not make sense to my simple mind. I would hunt south of I-10 like previously said......can't let them take that from us.

Do you take toy donations? And if so, where could we send them. That must be one of the toughest things of all losing a little guy like that, awesome for you to remember him through such a charitable cause.

Chirp....not much to talk about unless we talk about what there is to talk about......which we shouldn't talk about cause talking about it just causes problems......fyi.....we have a melofahess going on out there.....just can't talk about it.....

We spent the weekend checking out possible hunting areas for our December white tail tags. Found several really good looking glassing areas that will help us out we hope. We set up a couple of trail cams to see if we could come up with any good pics of big bucks. But as luck would have it......this is what we found while looking for white tail....had a great weekend, my legs are sore and no we didn't hike very far to get the pics of those mulie bucks. The dead head on the other hand came from the deepest farthest canyon of the day and I still had a 700 foot elevation up and 2 miles back to the truck. Great times for sure...

Nature girl I saw that on your other post and thought now I sure could a used a few of those big spiders a few months back.....that is a cool pic

Great job.....now how did it go down???? Story???

Or you live in a community where high school football is part of the culture and you enjoy watching your boy go out and have some fun playing smash mouth football.......I guess it does suck somehow.......probably better than my vacuum cleaner but oh well....I can handle this kind of suck.....

Did Coach London leave as well? If they still have him on board it won't be long til the Jackets get back on track. Trust me, some of the rest of us on the mountain are happy to see them have to regroup, give the rest of us a chance come Thanksgiving weekend.....best of luck to the Jackets and their new coach they have big shoes to fill but Blue Ridge football definitely raised the bar for the rest of us and I bet they will continue to put out good teams.

Trading out a serious day of hiking on Friday for my Friday insanity workout, pretty sure it was a toss up as to which is worse cept being out in the woods always beats anything. Started week 5 of Insanity this week.....recovery week whew.....I needed that....

This is how my summer started.....my wife and I water the flowers on main street here in town and I started noticing this buggers chomping on our flowers(maybe 200 pots) spent the next 5 hours picking them off the plants they were doing some major damage to the flowers......

If you have another one just like it....same price.....I want it or Tomgobbler is going to have to share......good job getting that to a CWT member......

BB guns work really good at that age as well....prayers for the little girl and both families. Not a responsible activity there.....

PRDATR...funny you should mention that.....for many years the ignition switch would turn over with a anything....screw driver, penny, another key....didn't matter. I finally put in a new one about 6 months ago because it started to hang on the stater and you had to adjust it back a titch to disengage the starter. Just last week it started messing had to turn the key all the way over with nothing then all the sudden....Varuuuuum.....it would turn over and start.

First off......the old 79 Ford sat for 2 years when gas prices started climbing. Then I pulled it out of retirement when Cole got old enough to drive a couple of years ago but this summer has just been horrible. Starter fell out... Drive line flew off... Smoke in the cab from what smelled like melting wires.... Somebody stole the ash tray out of it..... So we had it running again, Cole was driving it to school but I told him to keep it locked up all the time. Saturday night we are all laying in bed, late night, all the sudden we hear the familiar Varuuuum.......Cole hollers at me, Dad somebody is messing with the Ford......we both go barreling out the front door in our underwear with a flashlight. Nothing.....doors are locked on the truck......hmmmmmmm.....must have been hearing things. Thirty minutes later.....Varuuuuum......again cept this time the truck is idling........bang out the door again....... Nothing except my old Ford sitting there idling.......I get the keys and unlock the door, put the key in the ignition....nothing......won't turn off.....won't do anything. We pop the hood and I disconnect the wires thinking wires are going to start melting or something I didn't know what to do,.......finally for some reason the truck just fades off and sputters to a stop. Crazy stuff....2 days later I still don't know where to start, I haven't even popped the hood yet.......

That is awesome....especially with the 30-30......great picture.

Ha.....that is exactly what my wife has been telling me for the last 10 years but I have had that thing for 28 years now and can't turn it loose....it has been a very dependable family truck and hunting truck....well up until this summer.

Wing Master...thanks for the encouragement....I already feel a lot better, more flexible and my evening walks with my wife seem to be more brisk. I just need to get more disciplined with my eating which is easy enough. I can't keep up with that guy on the video but I don't give up so maybe just maybe I will be ready come December. Wrestling season will have started and I always lose about 10 lbs during wrestling season.......

Hey OneShot...that is a good lookin dog......they scare the poop out of me but a good lookin dog.....hang in there buddy, it is a Monday/Tuesday

I have to admit.....I was addicted to the Political Forum......I liked hearing opinions and information from fellow hunters on the issues of our country and the world....

First....did not want to get out of bed this morning.....but Started on week 3 of insanity.......after 2 weeks I really haven't seen a change in weight maybe a pound or two but I blame that on going down to see the new grand baby and taking out the other three to Chick fil a and my wife to On the Borders......my bad but I am still doing the insanity.....hang in there.....I keep telling myself.

Donnie, Nice job with the antelope hunt that is awesome.......
