What's on the smoker today?
Our woods are absolutely filled with them, up to 12" diameter and 50 feet long or more, but this one came from my backyard.- Islander

Sorry, no photos. Couple racks of pork ribs in the Smokin-it electric. Huge ancient grape vine is the perfect wood for pork.- Islander

Sunrise Sunset Pictures
My office last night. Strange double exposure on my cellphone. No idea how! -

Pork tenderloin last night. Pull at 145F. Grape vine wood is the best I've tried for pork. Incredible.- Islander

Scope option for a truck gun
They come up used on Rokslide.com periodically. There's a 10X on there now for $250. I've actually killed my last two deer with a SWFA 10X, fixed. It's decent, but a 6X is better all around scope for truck use. -
Scope option for a truck gun
You can't buy a more durable scope for under $500 than a SWFA 6X fixed. Best hunting reticle too. -
Weight Loss Drugs
Once Ozempic is stopped, most people regain much or all of the lost weight because the drug’s appetite-suppressing effects vanish and the body’s natural set-point reasserts itself. It works while you’re on it, not after. Option is to take it forever or dramatically alter your life, to include...- Islander

Happy Birthday President Roosevelt
Wifey turns 65 today. I told her it was Roosevelt's birthday too after seeing your post. Without hesitation she answered "Hopefully Teddy!" :love:- Islander

Top this, if you can
My house was broken into when I was a young newlywed. Couldn't find my wife, and no note that she'd gone out (no cell phones in those days). Behind the house was a run down trailer park. I went door to door with my pistol screaming at each tenant that they better tell me who kidnapped my wife...- Islander

Hunting Solo by choice or circumstance
I'm my favorite person to hunt with. Solitude. Reflection. I love going into stealth killer zen mode, with the pure concentration on getting that food. I’ve got Native roots, and when I’m hunting, I feel something ancient stir inside me (real or not} — a connection to those who came before...- Islander

How close to due dates do you hunt?
My wife's mom passed away overnight. I'll probably hunt tonight. We don't drown in our sorrows in this family. :cool:- Islander

SC Public Land Archery Buck
Beautiful South Carolina buck! I've been riding my dirtbike in these woods (at the Wambaw, Enoree, and Manchester OHVs) for many years and have seen many deer but exactly one buck, I think a 6 point. Definitely challenging to pull a nice buck on public land. -
We aren’t going to tolerate racism or racist themed posts.
Oddly enough, Archery Talk will ban you for a year for posting MCLMF or "Say it again!" memes but let a lot of other horseshit stay there. Here at least it's a time out, not a year ban or permanent.- Islander

Laugh? Not even close. I thought it was a misguided commentary on Trump. Hell maybe it said something else, but it looked like a KKK MAGA hat as I scrolled past it. I've lived in the Deep South almost my entire life (46 years), in the early 70s and then 1981 till now. My black friends aren't...- Islander

Hopefully not if you mean the Maga hood. That was political commentary and not directed at or denigrating a minority. I totally disagree with the insinuation of the post, but I'd hate to see that type of speech cause a ban. Not that I want to see politics here, but there was nothing racist in...- Islander

2025 Garden!
Wifey started a "pool garden" this year. About 12 grow bags on the patio with sweet potatoes, orange trees, tomatoes, and even a mango. Her first "garden" in the 41 years we've been married. She also started studying Feinman and other physics writers. Call me surprised...or shocked. She's an...- Islander
