    Friday Fate and Fortune music

    Regarding fate...sadly, lost too soon.

    Fishery vs. wildlife

    I was on a task force to address river crowding way back when Racicot was Governor. In the end, money won; guides, hotels, etc. Through many administrations D and R, nothing has changed. To likely misquote Abbey from memory, but get the gist correct, "deaf to thunderstorms in the mountains...

    Remembering those who served.

    I'll add one more thing. As a trumpet player, the VFW guys always called us to play TAPS at various cemeteries throughout the day, one primary, and one to provide the echo from a distance, unseen. We didn't jump to volunteer, not because we weren't patriotic, but because the guys that were...

    Looking for 300 H&H brass

    I've gotten Norma from these folks before; looks like they have only Hornady now. https://coastalfirearmshop.com/product/hornady-brass-300-hh-magnum-box-of-50/ Sorry, I checked, and this is not from whom I ordered. They don't look legit.

    Remembering those who served.

    For Jerry Wayne Stanberry, one year ahead of me in HS. 137# Safety. Destroyed every receiver he faced. Visited us after Marine boot camp, said it was cake after two-a-days in August. Dead one year later in Vietnam. We all went to his funeral en mass. My SIL has lost many battle buddies in...

    Minnesota's Proposed "Assault Weapon" Bans (2024)

    We need to pick our battles more wisely. Not everything is a slippery slope; bump stocks, for example. Friend of mine who is kind of a nut with tinkering with everything bought one; horribly inaccurate, just a waste of ammo. Same with straw purchases and binary triggers. Fight the battles...

    Suck for these people.

    And, lest we forget (or not know), one of the key folks who travelled there and got them out was...John Fetterman. A year ago he couldn't complete a sentence.

    Neck shots.

    I killed a few deer with neck shots but then discovered neck roasts. Should have figured it out earlier as turkey neck is my favorite part of the bird.

    20 GA Over/Under- spend my money

    Yes, I have a Browning Citori in 12 gauge with straight grip, although much older, 1980 vintage. Made by Miroku IIRC. Wonderful upland gun. Mine is Imp/Mod with 26" barrels. Favorite dove gun ever, with the possible exception of the 20 g SXS Charles Daly (again, Miroku) I foolishly traded.

    The newest AI technology

    Wake me up when they do Joni, with her tunings. Or Tom Waits. "He died with the radio on". I'll wait.

    Spend my money on a chronograph

    Garmin fan here too. The other thing about Garmin is they have great customer service. Supposedly another company (maybe Labradar) is coming out with something similar, but they are known for just the opposite.

    The Rinella Effect

    I don't watch Rogan all that much, but when I have, it seems his primary sin is being inquisitive. He won't settle for sound bites. Doesn't fit easily into left or right boxes, which is anathema to some. As far as bowhunting goes, yes, like many rich people, he goes on guided hunts. He...

    School Me on Hunting In Grizz Country

    We used an electric fence around our camp (wall tent) and I know there were grizz around and they never bothered the camp, although they spooked the horses some at night. And I absolutely would not dress out an elk alone, day or night in timber. An uncle of one of my employees was killed and...

    4 days in New Orleans

    My wife took a cooking class at Emeril's place while I was in a conference. Pretty cool. Lots of galleries too. And I love brass bands, so just wandered around at night listening and tipping. That was only, like 10 years ago. But never underestimate politicians ability to f things up, so may...
