    A little humour for your day

    I am old but I saw a young feller using one of those contraptions just a couple of years ago.

    Post up Your Fav Tillamook Flavors

    This thread reminds me that I was supposed to pick up some ice cream for tomorrow's party, when I went grocery shopping yesterday. I forgot. I guess I'll be making a run to Winco today.

    Weirdest Things Found

    Nailing jars to a tree in that fashion was a traditional way of marking mining claims. There would be a paper inside the jar with the claim descripting and name of the owner.

    Quickest Hunt

    I have had several deer hunts end on opening day. My first elk was less than an hour into a four-day hunt. After I shot it, it rolled down into a nasty hell hole, so it was a miserable pack out. For some reason my hunting partner complained the rest of the hunt, saying it was hard to hunt...

    Best Trail Cam Pictures

    Until recently, here in Oregon, you could shoot spikes east of the Cascades, primarily mule deer, but you couldn't shoot spikes on the west side, primarily blacktail. Of course, deer don't recognize unit boundaries, so you occasionally find blacktails on the east side and mule deer on the west...

    Weirdest Things Found

    I forgot to mention the weirdest thing I ever ran across. To get to my favorite canoeing and fishing spot I had to carry the canoe across the railroad tracks to get to the launching spot. One day as I crossed the tracks I see a dog leash, a pair of safety goggles and a huge anatomically correct...

    Mysterious Tent Shanking

    Opening week of deer season, I drove past a camp with a real nice fair weather, family sized tent set up and a baby swing hanging from a game pole. There was nobody around, but I didn't think too much about it. I drove by again six weeks later and the tent was still there, only now partially...

    Weirdest Things Found

    This is the oldest gun I ever found in the woods. This picture is shortly after I dug it out of the ashes of my burnt down house, but it had gone through at least one forest fire before I found it. I really would love to hear the story behind this old relic.

    Weirdest Things Found

    When I was in the army, in Germany, I found a body hung up in the brush floating in a river. Turned out he had been missing for eight weeks. Not a sight you soon forget. Once while scouting for bear, I was walking up a forest road and came across a pile of woman's clothes. A nice blouse and...

    Bear Encounters

    I was taking an evening walk down a decommissioned road that is now part of the Rogue River trail. At one point there is a spur road that goes up to an old homestead. The only thing left of the homestead is an old apple tree. I looked up and saw a huge bear checking out the little green apples...

    Hacks from internet I will actually use.

    We used tons of flagging tape at work and would burn a spot near the end of the tape to keep it from unraveling. Of course, nobody like to use partial roles so everyone would always grab a new role out of the truck. Then we would end up with partial roles all over the place.

    The Great HT 2026 weigh in.

    Most of my adult life I was a muscular 185, then when I hit 50, I jumped up to 200 where I stayed until I retired. Now I sit at 245 and there aint nothing muscular about it. So, I'm going to get serious about weight loss and see how much I can lose. It might be a rough start though, everyone...
