What! You wouldn't like to see anyone go in the creek??? I don't buy that for a second, that's probably the funniest thing in the world to watch! Ben

That's what we thought! Ben

That would be awesome! I just wish I could actually do it. Ben

What he said. Ben

Happy Anniversary! That's an accomplishment that is increasingly rare in this time and age. Ben

He is a good lookin dog, I love chocolate Labs! Ben

Which one of the Realtree guy's would you like to watch fall in a creek? Ben

Yeah, a dead one strapped across the hood! :D Ben

I'm sawing logs by the time those guys come on! Bring back Johnny! He was a master. Ben

They seem like really good bows. Comfortable and fast. Much better than the 15 year old Browning I have now. Thanks for the reply's. Ben

Anyone have any experience with them? Opinions? Ben

I just about fell outta my chair when I read that!!! Good luck with the ringworms ... and the enema. Ben

No need to take it off, now there's two threads about me. That's my favorite subject!!! Ben

Made out like a bandit last night! Got a new chainsaw chain, grease gun, 2-cycle oil, chainsaw files, and 12-pack of Tecate. Life is good!!! Thanks again folks, it means a lot! Ben

Thanks folks! So far it's been great, with a barbecue dinner tonight to top it off, it's only going to get better from here. Ben

That's way cool! Not that you would sell it, but I would wonder what something like that is worth. Congratulations on the find. Ben

That's cool! Fred is my favorite hunter on TV right now. The enthusiasm and realness he brings is awesome. Ben

Got a cool phone call yesterday afternoon. A friend of ours called JaLynn, my wife, and asked if we wanted to go see Bruce Springsteen. She works at the BOK Center in Tulsa, and had bought tickets that she was unable to use. Long story short, $20 a ticket later , we're on the floor in front of the stage watching Bruce Springsteen. WOW!!! He definitely rocked the house. I've seen a few concerts in my day, but this one is towards the top of the list. He came on around 8:00 and played almost nonstop until 10:30. Didn't even stop to introduce the band until the house lights went up. If you ever get the chance to see him, it's definitely worth it! Ben

That's exactly how it is here too. I've got a .22 semi-auto she'll take to the class, but this is what she's going to carry. Ben

JaLynn will go to Happy Hollow Gun Range here in Sapulpa. We haven't looked into scheduling her class yet, we want to get some range time in before she gets her license, but when I called them last week, he said they had room in their classes. I bought the pistol at Sports World in Tulsa. $425 before tax. Ben

I got her this one: http://www.smith-wesson.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10001&storeId=10001&productId=82465&langId=-1&isFirearm=Y It's a pretty sweet shooting little dude! She especially liked the pink grips, and actually called it "cute". She's going to get her CC license in the next month or so, so she'll have plenty of time to get used to how it feels and shoots. Ben

Slacks and a tie! Ben

I don't think I could shoot it unless I felt threatened. I would be too worried about it being a person that was pulling a joke on me. Ben

I've tried food plots, but I'm no farmer, and native habitat improvement seems to suit me better. We have 350 acres that is mostly what I call scrub oak land. Not a lot of mature trees, with a lot of 10-15' black oaks, but there are stands of good producing white oaks in a number of places. A lot of the place has a heavy canopy with very little native forage. It is rolling property, and pretty rocky. There is not a lot of open areas on the place, but there are a number of small openings, and 2-3 pastures of 5-10 ac. each spread throughout. After hunting here for 8 years, I've figured out that there is not a lot of deer frequenting my property, they're around, just not on my place, and I want to change that. My question is, what is the best way to improve the native forage? Also, can you give me an idea of a timeline I should expect? How long will it take to start seeing a change? Should I revisit the previous improvements every year, every 5-years, ...? I'm not opposed to farming, but there is some livestock running throughout the year, and a few cows or horses will level a been field in a matter of hours!!! I just think that native habitat improvements will be more beneficial in my situation. Any and all suggestions are very appreciated. Ben

Here's the old dog, 89 gmc 1500 4x4. She hasn't let me down yet! The new daily driver, an 07 crew cab. My wife had the nerve to call it a grocery getter! JaLynn's minivan, yes I own one, is between the two. It's an 05 sienna, and it really is a pretty sweet ride when you get right down to it. Ben
