SUPER deer and GREAT looking mount, Al !!!!! CONGRATS !!!!!!!!

Happy birthday, buddy !!!!!!!!! :happybday:

Getting ready to put mine in here. Think I need to get the boom sprayer out and hammer some weeds down before I re-disk the field for planting.

That IS great news, Tim !!!! CONGRATS !!!! Hopefully they don't want too many episodes of Pennsylvania trophy buck hunting. :clown:

APPLES ?????? In Winnipeg ???????? In July ???????? WOW !!!!!!!!!! You must have had some kind of record early spring this year ??

No trips for me this year. Besides..............I live in PA, the Land of Giants. Why would I want to go anywhere else and leave all this ??? :clown:

Didn't offend me.......................... I was just jagging ya !! I DO like your new avatar MUCH better.

This fall looks like a good time to do some trapping.

Some nice lookin' deer. Good luck in the chase.

WELCOME aboard !!!!! :clap: But that avatar has GOT to go !!! :no:

Bought my license today, complete with bear tag. Maybe you should do the same...............and post your bear tag in a conspicuous area in case Yogi can read.

LOVE the NHRA drags !!!!! Never been to a nationals yet. But there's something about a car with more horsepower in one cylinder than an entire NASCAR engine going 120 mph FASTER in 3.5 seconds than a circle car can go if you give it all week.................. it's a rush just to watch. Kinda makes them slow circle cars seem boring.

Yeah............. what he said.

Nice pics !!

Too many. LOL !! I think 1 doz. mallard floaters 1 doz mallard Feather Flex 1 1/2 doz Bigfoot Canadas 3 doz home-made Canada silos 2 doz home-made snow silos 1 doz snow Feather Flex 3 or 4 doz Canada Feather Flex ..........and probably something I'm not thinking of. Guess what ?? Don't hunt ducks or geese anymore. Don't have a use for any of them.

Haven't seen any yet. But I haven't been anywhere to look.

Best advice I could give you would be to call the folks at Carlson's (785-626-3700) and talk to one of their techs. Tell them what gun you have, what shot size and type you will be using and what kind of maximum range you would like to have. They will be able to tell you the exact best tube for your application.

Don't know how it's looking here. Have had a pair of cameras out for a month but not had time to go pull cards. I did have a short phone conversation with my buddy (and chief scouting agent) yesterday. He said he's see a pair of giants on a nearby property and have some good bucks on trailcam cards he wants to bring by the house. But, as yet, I do not have a hit list this year.

Picking up late on this one. Sorry. But prayers from PA for the both of you guys.

MUCHO CONGRATS, brother !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Give Momma a big hug & our best, too !!!!

Thanks, all !!! Celebrated by spending 11 1/2 hours in a UPS truck in 95 degree weather. Don't get no better'n that !!

Supper. A dinner is something I get dressed up to go to........like a banquet or celebration. Last nite's supper was grilled trout & fried potatoes with garden onions. Tonite's supper was cheeseburgers (50-50 venison & beef) an tater tots.

About 20 years ago, a friend, neighbor and WWCO told me about a stream that held naturally reproducing rainbows. Having, not only, never caught one but even seen one.........I always wanted to seek this stream out. Nothing like getting right after it, huh? But I pretty much or completely forgot about it until about a month ago when it re-occured to me what I had been told. So this morning, very bright and early, me & Lil (who wasn't even born when I heard about this) set out to find these fish. I had planned to park along a blacktop state road and fish another stream up to where this smaller creek feeds in. WRONG. "Posted" !! Everywhere !! There was not a place to park within a mile's walk that wasn't in front of a "posted" sign. Plan B involved driving miles around to a dead-end road that ended at a State Game Lands parking area I did not know existed. We set out from there figuring that downhill and in the general direction should find us some headwaters. Remarkably, we were right. A good wade down through some mature timber found us nearly tripping into a laurel choked wet spot. And down stream we went. That's the good news. The bad news is that sometime over the last 20 years, the rainbows that had been there have disappeared. Nary an indication of them. We did, however pick up a half dozen spunky little brookies and took in some magnificent PA scenery..........and got just the type of workout you might expect from fishing a mile plus of this type of stream and then walking back. AND we didn't get lost !!! Next adventure is a couple hours east, I guess. It's the only other natural rainbow stream I've heard rumor of. That'll be in a couple weeks. Lil in the rhododendron. Putting on the sneak. Some stream scenery. Lil working a pool. Couple of those spunky, wild brookies.

My daily driver is a '96 Grand Cherokee Limited. It's the 5.2 L V-8 Only mods are a set of 30.5x9.50 Dunlop Mud Rovers and a 3" Flowmaster cat-back system. Goes wherever I want to go and still makes 17.5-18 mpg daily..............which ain't bad for a 17 year old V-8 AWD with mud gobbers on it.

Quite welcome. Thanks to all who participated and CONGRATS to the winners !!!!! I will be contatacting The Powers That Be with a list of prize recipients.
