My oldest is turning 6 and I bought her this: http://www.basspro.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Product_10151_-1_10001_10206334_175003000_175000000_175003000_175-3-0 She pulled it back at the store. It was tough, but she did it. Doubt your boy would want a pink one, but they've got other colors too. Ben

Congratulations! Nothing like a baby to remind a man how important it is to be a Man. Ben

So my oldest daughter turns 6 on October 5th, and she wants a bow. What do you all recommend? One of the little compounds or a long bow set up? I'm pretty pumped about it! She's been going hunting with me for 3 years now, but it's subject to get really fun if she enjoys shooting a bow. What say ye? Ben

I look forward to the updates, should be an awesome hunt! Good luck. Ben

That's a terrible thing Kyle, will be praying for you all. Ben

That's a fantastic buck, congratulations! Ben

Congratulations! Will be 7 years for us on the 20th. Ben

I'm a bowhunter. I enjoy shooting my bow. God forbid something ever happens and I can't shoot my bow anymore, you'd better believe I'll be investing in a crossbow. All you fellas that shun their use and quickly say they'd never use one, I would just remind you to never say never. Ben

That's awesome! Those are some huge animals. Congratulations. Ben

For a little while anyway. Congratulations! Ben

It's an honorable thing you do Joe! Some of the most influential people in my life were my teachers, including my mom and grandma. It's selfless work and you all don't get near the praise you deserve, so thanks for doing what you do. Ben

I got into a patch of it over the weekend. I usually have to deal with it for a week or so while it runs its course, but this time I bought some "Cortaid". It worked great! I apparently got into it Sunday afternoon, but didn't know it until Monday night when the rash showed up. Went to Wally World and bought the Cortaid, scrubbed the fire out of it, repeated it Tuesday morning, and as I set here now, it's healing up and not bothering me at all. In short, the stuff works. Ben

Hope they get it under control for you. Ben

It's all in God's plan. Prayers are coming. Ben

Congratulations! That's quite an honor. Ben

And let's not forget There Ben

Bratwurst and Sour Kraut with an ice cold Bass! Ben

Good for you doing the work to catch them, and good for the PD for responding and arresting them. Hope you get some of your stuff back! Ben

I called the Oklahoma Water Resources Board last Friday and they clued me in on what other wells in the area were. Most of them were 250-300 feet deep with only about 10 gpm at the best. The two closest were about half a mile away, and one of them was dry. Then that afternoon Uncle Kenneth and his stick came out, and marked a spot. He said it should be about 50 feet to water and it's a good stream. OK, sounds like he doesn't know what he's talking about until dad chimes in. When mom and dad bought the place 35 years ago, there were 3-4 old houses on it, and apparently they had a well, and it's only about 10 feet from where Uncle Kenneth marked his spot. Dad was the only one that knew about it, and didn't ever mention it to anyone (he didn't want us kids to find out about it, uncover it, and fall in). After burning down the houses he drug a big rock over the top of the well and all but forgot about it. He said it was about 12-18 inches around and remembers looking down it and seeing water. If you've ever looked down a hole, you know you can't see very far, so water couldn't have been very deep. We pulled the rock away after Uncle Kenneth left, and it looks like the old well had collapsed. The dirt below the rock however was for the most part mud. And with the summer we're having, dry and HOT, that only means one thing, there's water somewhere close ... maybe! Dad's calling a driller to see if they'll dril a test hole for him. I'm intrigued to say the least. The saga continues ...

Don't know about the call. I've always used a bait. If you need help killing them let me know! Ben

It's gotta be tough Kyle, hope you get here soon! Ben

Statistical analysis aside, I'm looking forward to seeing what Uncle Kenneth says tonight. Maybe I'll post results in a new thread and start a whole new fight about the strata we'll encounter and depth to water. Should be fun to read! Ben

10 years huh? Sounds like you need to get out more often! Congrats, that's a lot longer than me. Ben

I went to the Oklahoma Water Resources Board website and got some well logs for the area, so we'll see how it all compares. After talking to JaLynn, my wife, last night, if Uncle Kenneth puts mom and dad on water, I'll have him witch me one too. May even try my hand at it. Ben

That's what I hear about Uncle Kenneth. He's been doing it for 50 years, and people swear by him. He said he'll give us a depth to water. If he's right after they drill it, you can count me as a believer. Ben
