    What's on the smoker today?

    Our woods are absolutely filled with them, up to 12" diameter and 50 feet long or more, but this one came from my backyard.

    What's on the smoker today?

    Sorry, no photos. Couple racks of pork ribs in the Smokin-it electric. Huge ancient grape vine is the perfect wood for pork.

    Pork tenderloin last night. Pull at 145F. Grape vine wood is the best I've tried for pork. Incredible.

    Scope option for a truck gun

    They come up used on Rokslide.com periodically. There's a 10X on there now for $250. I've actually killed my last two deer with a SWFA 10X, fixed. It's decent, but a 6X is better all around scope for truck use.

    Scope option for a truck gun

    Top this, if you can

    My house was broken into when I was a young newlywed. Couldn't find my wife, and no note that she'd gone out (no cell phones in those days). Behind the house was a run down trailer park. I went door to door with my pistol screaming at each tenant that they better tell me who kidnapped my wife...

    Hunting Solo by choice or circumstance

    I'm my favorite person to hunt with. Solitude. Reflection. I love going into stealth killer zen mode, with the pure concentration on getting that food. I’ve got Native roots, and when I’m hunting, I feel something ancient stir inside me (real or not} — a connection to those who came before...

    How close to due dates do you hunt?

    My wife's mom passed away overnight. I'll probably hunt tonight. We don't drown in our sorrows in this family. :cool:
