We have a really nice cabin with a full kitchen so do some great meals.
Crockpot stuff is nice so it's done when we return; chili, ham & beans, split pea soup, venison stew, etc.
One member always does a big fried chicken dinner on night with taters, gravy and all the trimmings.
Tater tot...
I think this is more of a question ..... How mechanically inclined are you?
When it comes to vehicles there isn't really anything that can't be repaired or replaced to keep them going. It's a matter of how far down that worm hole you care to go.
Our garden is done. We harvested a big basket of the last of the tomatoes this week and made a bunch of homemade Marinara sauce. That smelled so good while cooking that I went ahead and made a big batch of homemade meatballs to go with them. Had spaghetti and meatballs for supper and...
If a few hours are all that you are needing it for, that's another good reason to rent -vs- own.
Just telling you from experience and ownership, those things self destruct and beat h#ll out of whatever machine they are used on.
Also - A steel tracked, large excavator with a big breaker can...
I've owned a couple breakers on both skid loaders and backhoes and won't again. I do not recommend owning one. They will literally beat the h#ll out of themselves as well as whatever machine they are attached to. Wears out all the pins and bushings on the machine and makes it sloppy, plus...
Between our two home (Indiana) farms we have about 25 ladder stands and shooting houses which always need to be checked out ahead of season; cut brush, trim limbs, re-strap stands, fix ladders, safety inspect, clear any wasp nests, clean out shooting houses, trim and mark the access trails, etc...
I'm also fine with the execution and frustrated that it has taken so long since the crime.
The idea of making it viewable by the public is a bit sick. I'm not for that.
Actually - A .22 behind the ear right when they caught him would have been the right thing to do.
What is actually wrong with the knife that would need to replace it?
Just keep sharpening it like Straight Arrow has done. You'll probably wear out before the knife does.
I like to set ladder stands in big multi trunked trees or where a couple big trees are really close together to help hide the hunter.
If you are silhouetted on a skinny tree it's gonna be tough to get a bow shot. Shouldn't make much difference with a firearm.
I've had similar results with elk. Last two were just average decent 6x6.
Netted about 250# of processed meat from one and about 200# from the other. No fat added to burger.
I've been on a lot of guided hunts and don't think I've ever ran into an outfitter that seemed to be wealthy.
It takes a sh#t ton of time, work, equipment, gear and money to operate in remote areas and provide any kind of decent accommodations and decent hunting for clients.
Most that I've been...
Congrats !
I checked out of the workforce end of 2017 and enjoy most every day. Getting ready to start a full on assault on whitetails in three different states with archery, rifles and muzzle loader.
The only downside to retirement is old age comes along with it. :cool:
One area where we fish a lot is a whole bunch of little strip mine pits. Every time you show up at the cleaning shack with a nice mess of fish strangers nearly always want to know where you caught them. My standard answer is Pike Lake and far as I know there isn't a Pike lake anywhere near...
