    Late monsoons, record El Nino...

    We're finally getting rain in Palisade, Colorado. 1.5" this week and it's drizzling today. We had a bad case of Beet Curly Top Virus which wiped out tomato production, I lost 15/15 plants in my garden. The commercial guy's lost 95% of their production. We did have 100% of our peach crop...

    Varmints in the garden

    I have been using tube traps for years on problem squirrels. Forestry supply sells them for $35. They work great on squirrels and won't kill your Wife's cat.

    Shotgun for Elk

    It was in 1989, I just bought two five packs of Remington branded slugs. I found the flattened slug between the off ribs. It went in about 4 inches above the heart and she moved about 25 yards.

    Shotgun for Elk

    I shot a cow elk years ago with a 12 gauge slug. Range was 50 yards and it worked just fine. It was a Kate season private land tag and the owner wouldn’t let me use a rifle.

    Snowboarding

    I’m an oldster, been a pinhead since the days of low leather boots and lignestone edges. I used to take pleasure in kicking the butts of my alpine friends.

    Driving To AK from the lower 48.

    My Wife and I drove up from Colorado last summer, it was a great trip and we spent 2.5 months and 9500 miles doing it. We just brought Bear Spray and left the firearms at home. We boondocked 90% of the time in both Canada and Alaska. I did a deep clean of both truck and slide in camper to...

    Tactical pants for hunting

    I have Kuiu Attack and Tiburon pants. The hip zip is about 8" long on both sides. I live in western Colorado where climbing 1000'-200' vertical feet or more is common during a hunt and I'm a sweat hog. For 'active' hunting situations it's extremely helpful.

    Tactical pants for hunting

    If the pant doesn't have hip zips I'm not buying it. They really extend the temperature range of use.
