Dogs are Hunting Partners - Let's see 'em
My 6yr old Pitbull/Staffordshire Terrier/Shepherd mix, named Reggie would be flat out *GONE* if I ever went out into the woods with him, and let him off the leash! I swear, he's got to have Bloodhound somewhere in his DNA too, because he sniffs everything and follows his nose when I walk him in...- ButchA

Old truck appreciation (and high mileage)
I used to own a beautiful 2000 Chevy Silverado 1500, 4.8L V8, 2WD. Awesome truck!! The guys at the deer camp deemed it "the grocery getter" because I couldn't/wouldn't take it off road up the trails. 209,000 miles and it finally said, "enough". :(- ButchA

Speaking of firewood... Anyone else have one of those 10-ton hydraulic log splitters? They really work well!- ButchA

Heavy arrow tuning struggles
Wow.... I checked a lot of those arrow charts and am pretty much set, very lightweight, very easy, but need devastating cut on contact Magnus Stingers or Slick Tricks. 52# draw weight, 29" draw length, and 400 spine Gold Tip Hunter XT's w/ 100gr tips. -
Real World Hunting Setup Velocity?
Nice and easy, out of a (free - from my old USCG buddy) 2017 Mission Hype DT bow. 52#, 29" draw, 80% letoff. And a bunch of common GT Hunter and Hunter XT arrows w/ 100gr tips. FOC is roughly 11.9%, 388 arrow grain weight (total). Speed: no idea... But it's awesome! :cool: -
LET'S TALK COFFEE :)

2026 Garden
Peas -- done, harvested. Broccoli -- done, harvested (all but one, my wife read about leaving one where it might regrow). Tomatoes -- slowly starting to flower. Green beans -- doing good, harvested, more to come. Squash & Zucchini -- slowly starting to take off. Early chill stunted them? Green...- ButchA

Let’s talk about firewood
Here in Virginia (if it really gets cold), my wife and I will light a fire in the fireplace. We have about a 1/2 cord outside right now, and that's enough. We also turn the two far back bedroom ceiling fans on "reverse" - so they draw in the fireplace warmth down the hallway and help keeping...- ButchA

Let's Hear About your favorite Wheel guns.
I have a classic 1972 (i.e. the floating "J" serial number) S&W Model 36, .38 snubby. Still all original, even the grips too! I chatted with the FFL guy, and all he could tell me was that, yes, it actually was a real LEO's backup piece back in '72 based out of Ocala, Florida. Pocket holster... -
Ultimate broadhead?
Any love for the common 100gr Magnus Stingers w/ the bleeder blades (4 blade)? -
Good morning, that's cool that you're in the metro area. I'm fully retired now and loving it...
