    Magdalena Chili

    When I was in the army, every time we went on maneuvers the first dinner they served us would be chili (out of a can) served on top of a pile of white rice. Rice? Where the hell did that idea come from? I do like beans in my chili though, so what do I know?

    Don’t forget to vote -A political thread

    I don't know about that. Neither my wife nor I are affiliated with a political party and our phones are on the same plan, but she gets inodiated with political garbage all day, while my phone sits quietly on the end table. I feel like nobody cares what I think.

    Lost Trekking Poles, Gift From My Son

    I was turkey hunting when I came across a big batch of morels. I left my shotgun leaning up against a tree and started picking shrooms. It took me four hours to find that gun.

    Why do you hunt - Kids?

    3 1/2? "Because it's fun." They understand fun. At that age, they don't understand feeding the family or communing with nature or any of that stuff. They know about fun. That's what they live for.

    Making a job change possibly...what would you do?

    I agree whole heartedly. I never made much money, but I worked at a job I liked and had all the free time I could handle. Of course, the job changed so that I no longer enjoyed it. So, I retired early. Took less money in retirement but now I have nothing but free time and still get by alright...

    Making a job change possibly...what would you do?

    YES! It seems odd to me that you would even feel you have to ask the question.

    Watch your tires - Someone is ‘spiking’ U.S. Forest Service roads in southern Oregon, rangers say

    Not the first time someone has done this sort of thing around here. About 25 years ago an anti-hunting group was throwing roofing nails out on popular forest roads during deer season. They got me. Not much fun having two flat tires and only one spare, miles from the nearest phone. Even now...

    Gallatin Canyon Wall Tent Homicide

    Nothing strikes more fear in a community than a good old fashion axe murder.

    What would you do?

    I know nothing about fashion. But buy the apparent ridicule, I'm getting the impression that wearing Kuiu is a bad thing. Or is it only bad in Walmart? Or while looking for books on hunting Bighorn Sheep?

    Dsnow

    I worked a very short while for a guy who called himself an arborist. He trained me to use the chipper. His extensive training program was to show me how to start it and told me to throw the branches in. I became an instant expert. That job didn't last long. One night the boss was passing a...

    Strange legal question about turkey hunting …

    Damn! When I was a kid, I was all proud of myself when I caught a goldfinch with my bare hand. A wild turkey? Now that's quit a coup. Koodos on the kid. I guess you could shoot the turkey when you release it, but that doesn't seem very sporting.

    What do you call hot?

    Went deer hunting this morning. When I got to my spot at the break of dawn, it was already T-shit weather. By 9:00 I was sitting in my lawn chair in the shade, staring at the inside of my eyelids. Then I heard some turkey birds talking in the brush off to my left. I grabbed my shotgun and...

    Your Personal Wounding Rate- Archery Elk

    The second elk I ever shot I lost in some dense brush. A week later my next-door neighbor found it when he saw the buzzards. What really made me sick was that it was within 30 yards of where we had searched. We gave up too soon. In all my years of working and playing in the woods I have come...

    What do you call hot?

    I worked outdoors my entire life. No matter what the weather was doing we were out there working. Ony three times in my career did weather keep us out of the woods, and they were all wind events. Woking in a forest under large trees in 70-80 mile per hour wind is just a bit too unnerving. We...
