Found Pictures of my Dad's San Gabriel Bighorn from 1967
He bulldogged it down the mountain from what he said. Solo hunt. I'll never know all the details, as he is long gone now. But I love the legacy of loving to hunt that he left us kids.- Islander

Thank you. I agree on both counts. Mom turns 85 tomorrow and is doing very well. She outlived all three husbsnds. She volunteers at the Alzheimer's center and also "takes care of an elderly lady" about 20 hours a week. :) She says I look a lot like my dad.- Islander

Funny what people remember. 58 years ago, but I still remember that cat's name was Smash. He started out as Smudge, but he had the zoomies one day and Mom tried to shout "Smudge don't crash!" But all that came out was "Smash!" And that was that. :-)- Islander

Mom helped him butcher the ram right there in the dining room. She was raised on a farm. Years later she and my step dad lived on a gold mining claim for 18 months. They drove to the end of the road and then walked their two mules about 5 miles up trail to the river.- Islander

I'm sure Mom loved that. We had a garage! Maybe he brought it in in the morning. But as best I remember it was there when we got up.- Islander

He got home way after dark and just put him on the dining room floor till morning. Those are unbuttoned pajamas and slippers. His bare chest looks like a tie in the photo till you zoom in. Mom never left their room without a dress on. It was like Christmas for us kids. :)- Islander

Doubtful. The story I've heard since I can remember is that the rangers warned my dad that there was an old ram where he was heading that was being aggressive to people, and to shoot him if he got aggressive with him. Self-defense? Poaching? We'll never know. Dad died at age 55 and we never...- Islander

Mom sent me a zip lock filled with old photos. Found these absolute gems among them. Dad shot this old bruiser in 1967 in the San Gabriel mountains, less than an hour from our house in Los Angeles. Shot him through the eye with his trusty 22, a Marlin Glenfield Model 60. Note the 18 round...- Islander

Hydration drinks?
Check agsin Respectfully, check again. Cyanocobalamin is not toxic or harmful in standard hydration or supplement doses. It’s not “made from cyanide” in a dangerous way, nor does it rob nutrients. While other B12 forms may be more bioavailable, cyanocobalamin is still effective and safe. Even...- Islander

The classic magnums - will they see a renaissance?
Modern bullets have made magnums unnecessary. And the smaller calibers are more than deadly enough with the added benefit of weight reduction, noise reduction, recoil reduction, and tons and tons of extremely accurate and reliable factory ammo. Other than nostalgia, no "need" for magnums or even... -

Does anyone feel like outdoor recreation declining back to post-COVID level?
During Covid we had several unique things going on. I think all these contributed to increased recreation. Now those factors are gone. Plus the market is saturated for many things like mountain bike, dirt bikes, RVs, tents, recreational cars and trucks, rooftop tents, winches, all the stuff...- Islander
