    The $80 Hotdog

    The Wife and I were in town today and I was hungry. Since Sam’s Club was next door I told the Wife we were having lunch at Sam’s. The $1.50 hotdog is a bargain. I should have thought it through because in addtition to $3.00 for two hotdogs we bought a bunch of junk because it “was a good...

    Colorado trail?

    I’m kicking around the idea of section hiking The Colorado Trail this summer. Walking it in 3-5 day chunks. My Wife walked it 25 years ago and has agreed to do the shuttling. Anybody else done any long distance backpacking?

    A Complete Sentence: The Second Amendment

    The entire sentence of the second amendment reads, A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. When people quote the Second Amendment it usually sounds like, “Shall not be infringed”. How...

    Big E Antiques: worth a visit

    I stopped at Big E Antiques in Eckert, Colorado the other day. In addition to antiques the owner has an incredible collection of mule deer antlers and mounts. It’s worth a visit.

    That time I got really cold thread

    Since it’s been sorta cold now is a great time to post that time you got really cold. Here’s mine. In the 80’s a couple of my buddies and I went goosehunting on a lake northeast of Wellington, Colorado. It was the first really good coldsnap and the new ice wasn’t very thick. We carefully...

    Silly Wife question:

    My Wife has become convinced that the air conditioner blows colder when the vent brings air in from the hot outside. The laws of physics seem to me to mean the air will be colder on recirculate. Am I wrong?

    The chase was on…

    I just chased the nasty cat food eating, boxtrap destroying raccoon across the backyard, in my socks, in a snowstorm, and in the dark. I emptied my ruger standard at him, think I hit him a couple of times. Big bastard has been stealing cat food for a long time, he tore the door off my boxtrap...

    Mtn Tactical recoil lugs and bolt shrouds for Tikka T3?

    Has anyone bought Mtn Tactical recoil lugs and bolt shrouds for their T3? Did it improve accuracy? My Tikka is pretty accurqate but it seems to be slightly less so than when it was new. My stock recoil lug has a ‘v’ on it from recoil and does not seem to fit into the stock as tight as it used...

    Mathews Vertix

    Does anybody have experience with the newer Vertix? I’m thinking of using my COVID money to help out the local archery store. I shot it there a couple of months ago and thought it pricey. I haven’t shot much in the last 20 years and the technology is pretty awesome.

    The things we did, for a cow elk.

    My buddy and I bagged one elk in unit 61 on Monday morning. It was Jarrods shot but a team effort. And effort it was, we saw lots of elk but they were always in the bottom of hellholes or on their way there. So we did what we had to do, go to the bottom, shoot one, and have a hellish packout...

    Using an elk decoy during archery thoughts?

    I am going to be following along on a young friends backcountry archery hunt in a few weeks. I’m not hunting but am going because I am retired and it sounds like fun. I’ll be doing some of the calliing and will have time to use/operate the decoy. This hunt will be before Colorado’s...

    Any Mountain Bikers here?

    Mountain biking is one of my favorite sports, it also helps me stay in shape for hunting. At age 58 we all agree keeping in shape is paramount. Anybody else? My ride is a 2016 Santa Cruz 5010 CC full carbon frame, Nox Composites wheels, and an MRP Stage front fork. I am not in favor of...

    Colorado Unit 61

    Howdy Folks, The Honey Hole worked out just fine second season. Even a BeanMan can get lucky. There was a bigger one but I couldn't close the deal, his cows busted me.
