    When does the fever hit you? (Buck fever)

    Different folks have different levels of excitement. For me it has evolved. As a youngster I lost my mind but managed to hold things together enough to take a good shot with (1) major flaw. I constantly rushed it. As I got older I got past that to some extent. I feel that shot rushing is a...

    Eastern Outdoors Show

    The Great American Outdoor Show in Harrisburg PA is 2/7-2/15. I go every couple years. After a year or 2 I forget how much I hate crowds, Not being able to walk, and the effort required to find the 10 things I want to see. In any case its called the largest in the world. Is anyone else...

    Retail Theft Impact on Purchased Goods

    This morning I was at the local convenience store (Sheetz) getting coffee. I always use self check out. It has audible prompts. I was in the middle of paying when a dude walked up to the self checkout next to me. Bagged his stuff. And walked out. No scanning. No payment. Pretty brazen...

    How has technology affected hunter sucess

    As we set up blinds and towers for kids I often reference what I was given as a kid. Typically a stump or tree to lean against. Typically in jeans. Sweatshirt or hand me down jacket. Always sneakers. Maybe bread bags if there was wet snow. 30/30 always with corelok bullets. Deer were killed...

    Weirdest Things Found

    The tent shanking thread got me thinking about the weirdest things found. I have a few. Some scary some not: Walked downwind of a parked vehicle. It wreaked. Assuming someone was living in it and the trash stank. Walked up to the window. With the sun and film it was hard to see in. I...

    Medical Transport if needed. Are you prepared

    So about 15 yrs ago I started adding supplemental insurance plans. They are relatively cheap. I have good health insurance. I might be uneducated in coverage but always thought transport could be a gap. Plus secondary insurance for a small amount of money can't hurt. I often fish the copper...

    Hunting Leases/Kids Hunting/Drury Syndrome

    Hunting Leases. It seams that we are torn as a community about how this has hurt things. For me I have come full circle. I have access to lots of family/friends property. With most being farmers its good hunting. However in PA we have antler restrictions. And now everyone wants to grow...
