    Cody

    This puppy story is all I can think about as my beloved friend lies outside my wall tent in a Kansas wheat field, groaning and whimpering in constant pain. Three days ago he stayed behind as me and the others went off hunting for sheds, which he has been doing for a while now knowing he cannot...

    Cody

    Wrote this a little while ago when I felt I could do it. It got published and being its the winter thought some of you might have time/inclination to read it. He was my buddy. You don't pay for the dog when you buy the puppy, you pay for the dog when you dig the hole. My boy Cody came to me...

    The "Kansas Model" seems to be working well for feral pig control

    As jobs go being a "paid pig helicopter gunner" would be better than some they push at "career day". Interesting angle on the suspended traps being ignored. Piggys are pretty sharp, I didn't know they had a chink in their armour. I've had cow issues, less now that they are walking gold ingots.

    Easy as 1-2-3!

    Yeah Id take any of the girls on his phone over hanging with buzzard. They'd giggle, he'd whine.

    He's got an incredible ranch... That bad-ass buck will just mingle in the middle of the pack on the wall of shame... I love good political humour. The kind that is funny even if it against "your side". Anne Richards said of GW Bush... "he was born on 3rd base and woke up thinking he hit a...

    Easy as 1-2-3!

    He wants to go to SW Alaska for a moose. I tried the halfway of elk but he seems to think bigger is better. It has crossed my mind that a state champ track athlete 21 yr old could really be an asset after a bull is down. But that would be a selfish self -interested thing to think so I...

    Easy as 1-2-3!

    Had the privilege of mentoring this young peckerhead. Pretty amazing and amusing watching him grow. He'll have a bit of trouble topping this years score... but on that property I'm pretty sure he will. He's a bit spoiled as he thinks this is how it should be, he's never known sitting for...

    Ptarmigans in Colorado

    They sound like a flock of chickens, clucking and purring. They dont "hide" in or under cover they just dont move and become rocks with their natural camo. Hike the C-Divide between the Ike tunnel and Buena Vista, they are there but always in pockets. Hot spots tend to stay hot spots...

    Help Me Legalize Semiauto Rifle Big Game Hunting In Pennsylvania

    If you gave the order for Santiago to not be touched, and your orders are always followed, then why would he have to be transferred off base.

    Lever Monday...post em up

    17 pages and no M-71?? WTF? This is as she came since then a peep and sling studs have been added. As big a pain as the .348 is gathering components, I cant imagine what hoops Shrapnel has to jump through for some of his beauties.

    Personal best crappie

    They segregate by size so the best place to get a second 16 is within 3' of the first one!! I dont usually shoot crappie but a boat captain kept going on and on and on about crappie this and crappie that... so one time I saw an exceptional crappie and poked it. Turned out to go 16.5". I...

    CPW shoots lamb-eating wolf, can't find it.

    Good to know that he is gone from his home range, since they bumped his old food source across the fence from me. Glad he took his bad habits and went after a whole new herd, though it probably didn't make the new rancher very happy.

    Help Me Legalize Semiauto Rifle Big Game Hunting In Pennsylvania

    20 man deer drives and semi-autos in heavy cover... what could possibly go wrong??? I still can picture my class mate showering after gym class with his exit wound just off the point of his shoulder blade about 5-6" around, beet red, and about 1-1/2" deep from tissue loss. How he didn't die is...

    Buying property?

    Some of the above advice is just plain bad. Search with proper filters the big RE sites. Make sure the dirt is comparable. (timber, tillable, swampy, too steep for anything... etc.). Stay recent, stay local, recent more than local if not much is available. One year ago in todays market is...
