I loved seeing that old truck in your pictures, you might remember I have old trucks.
Yeah sure liked the looks of it. I do, really enjoy seeing the old international on those mountain trails. Looks like fun.
Anniversary
Holy F-word Batman! Tomorrow is my 15th anniversary with this site! I was just casually looking for some info on grinding chains, made up a ‘throwaway’ name for a single visit, and now look at all the time and money this place, and you jokers, have cost me!!!
Anyway, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, so I probably would miss posting this note of self importance.
Happy Thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

If you are not allowed to use center fire rifle, and they are coming in within 50 yds at night, a cross bow with a laser sight may be just the ticket! I use the NAP mechanical 3 blade heads for deer, and they never go far after they are hit.
Just a little slower to reload!

Looks like y'all are having some fun.
Mike, sorry you guys didn't get any deer, hopefully everyone enjoyed the experience nonetheless.
Steve, looks like you had a nice trip. Would love to visit a Lodge Factory Store, but I believe my wallet would not be as excited.
Things haven't been good here, whole family came down with the flu and we're still dealing with it. We had to reschedule Thanksgiving, which was a huge bummer. We're all much better, but not anywhere near 100%. I broke my fever last night, and feel a lot better, but am very weak still.
Opening day for gun season is Monday, I'm hoping I'm well enough to hunt. I have the entire week off, so I should be able to get some time in and hopefully fill the freezers.

Had 2 deer within 30 yrds yesterday, had 3 this morning. Closet one was probably 10 yards. All does. No pics of bucks on game cameras, they seem to have disappeared.
Opening day last Saturday in WI. I had the boy up in the stand w/me. First time out for him. He hasn't taken hunters' safety so he was simply an observer.
We were on the far southwestern corner of the state ~12mi upriver from Dubuque on the WI side. So we have to wait 12min after the clock says opening time.
Every year. And I mean EVERY year since I've been hunting my in-law's place (25 years
), some jamoke lights off a round @ 0610... Like its some sort of announcement to the world challenging the local warden to come ticket him for shooting before opening.
Anyway, 0642 rolls around & it's legal to shoot & 4 antlerless deer came RACING up to w/in 125yards....
And stared straight at us. No shot.
It was also first light on opening morning with smallish deer. I passed on them and saw nothing else the rest of the weekend.
Going out Friday morning to see if I can put some meat in the freezer.

Oh- and sight-in was a piece of cake.
I went out to the sherriff's training center where they were hosting a sight-in.
I paid my $10, walked out to the firing line. Sat down with one of the deputies as my spotter & put a round through the top tangent of the white bull. Perfectly 1/2" high @50yd for being on the money @100 (I hope).
My spotter said, "Nice shot. Do it again."
So I put one through the same hole.
He said, "Well, it looks like we don't need to adjust anything."
Two rounds to sight in... I KNOW that I could be better. It was likely a fluke & I suppose I should have put five rounds downrange just to be sure. But I'm also looking at a dwindling supply of ammunition right now. And I didn't want to make that pretty target look bad.

Is that required? I haven’t heard of it here.
Good for you. I was just reading an article down here in the states that firewood is starting to become higher in demand because of the higher energy prices for heating this winter. That also means the prices for firewood is going up too.
So hoard on because it is like money in the bank. 20 to 25 cord is a pretty good stash of wood. Congrats
Thats alot of

I started buying a semi load of hardwood for the last 2 years, at $1500 delivered, I can't go wrong.
I've tried attaching pictures but I must have to get my post count up
Not sure on why pics don't work. I'm sure a more seasoned member can help with that.
He’s probably right about he‘s too new, it’s to keep out spam.
I haven’t heard of any posting limitations unless the new owners instituted something.
Figured any spam in here would be in a frying pan in the what ya having for dinner section
