It's Official!! After 25 years, 24 foreign countries, every state but Californistan, and 1 War I've passed the mantle of responsibility to the younger generations of war fighters. I can assure you that beginning as an Airmen First Class and ending at Major, it was ONE HELL OF A RIDE, but I...
With the purchase of my new ATV and hauling it back to the house in the back of an 8 ft truck bed, I realized I'm probably going to need a trailer not only for convenience, but for longer hauls. With the tracks, I figure I'll need at least 12 ft, but would like to know if anyone has some...
Please keep you dogs locked up or under control. Been out the last couple nights looking to smack some moonlight coyotes and I've had no less than 4 dogs in the crosshairs running in the middle of nowhere. The coyote breeding season is here and the females are in heat, drawing out the males...
Hit the pheasant fields this afternoon and with 27 degrees, a light wind, and sunshine it was VERY enjoyable. More so because Hercules did a FANTASTIC JOB!!! He put up 4 Roosters and about 12 hens. I missed "Arnold Schwarzerooster" though. That thing got up about 45 yards away and I HAD to...
Hey you Schizophrenic, OCD, Closet Creepers!!! I'm donating 4 packs of jigs for prizes, but want these jigs to ACTUALLY be used so what colors would you guys like to see in the packs?? There will be 20 in each pack and can be 1/4 oz or 1/8 oz. Throw out your ideas and desires and I'll put'em...
I've been looking for an ATV to go along with my Kayak, but know very little about ATV's. Research says Honda is about as bullet proof as an ATV can get, but the electric shift isn't very user friendly. Yamaha is a close second with the Grizzly being the most dependable and very similar to the...
Fort KDM will again be opening the "Butcher Shop" and smoke house to those that would like to further process those fur covered or feather covered yummies into smoked delights. I have two grinders, a commercial deli slicer for jerky, a few large mixing tubs, and a fairly large smoker available...
It's been an AWESOME deer season for me this year!! It started off with a full velvet buck with my bow and progressed to an average, but VERY memorable rifle buck. Here's the story:
It was the Monday after the second weekend as I was hunting in MN with my 76 year old Uncle for the first week...
Any of you mutton heads know the correct way to measure a pheasant tail feather?? (Yes I know that using a measuring tape would be the best way, you comedic Smucks) Anyway, I've heard everything from tip to tip, where the feathers start at the base to the tip, and from where it grows out of...
Just bought my daughter, MY ONLY DAUGHTER, a phone and she has her first non Father-Daughter Dance this weekend!!!!!!!!! Not sure the boys in this area are ready for me yet, but it looks like they might not have a choice. God help the little bastages is about all I'm going to say. However...
Alright Guys here's the deal. We're going to try this and see how it goes. Our beetle colony is growing and My Dad and I are willing to do some DEER euro mounts for you folks at a reasonable price, but there are some provisos and they are as follows:
NO ROTTEN OR DECOMPOSING...
Tough day today and going to be a tough weekend. I buried my dog today. He was a good dog and I have no complaints. Not much else to say except I'll miss him a great deal. Good Bye My Friend!!!!!!!!!!
Came back from mission with only one evening and the last day to take my daughter out for her first ND youth hunt. The first evening she got a shot, but didn't connect. She was pretty bummed out about the miss, but I told her everybody misses and it was just her turn. No excuses, just chalk...
Yesterday afternoon, I couldn't decide if I wanted to scout for geese, hunt doves, catch walleyes, or sit in a tree stand for deer. I started to run down what I couldn't get later in the year and settled on doves or deer as I have always wanted a buck in velvet, the doves would be headin' south...
I was out scouting for early geese and didn't realize that early vehicular deer season was open, so I was caught completely off guard when I filled my tag in the late evening hours yesterday. Needless to say the deer isn't feeling any pain, but I need to work on the expansion results for my...
Hey NDA Sak guru's, I know this is an off the wall request, but I'm in that warriors on the water thing next weekend with another vet and I have no idea where to go as I don't fish there. Feel free to PM me with any suggestions on techniques, depths, and locations. They don't even need to be...
(K.R.) Neil Steinberg, columnist for the Chicago Sun-Times, tried to buy an AR-15 rifle following the mass shooting at a gay nightclub in Orlando, so that he could give a "firsthand account of how easy it is to purchase a firearm in the United States".
The owners of Maxon Shooter's Supplies in...
Anybody use those tube things that go around your neck?? Looking for info as I'm going to need something other than the old style foam vest jobs I currently have that are a pain in the petooty to wear. If I can't get a kayak, I might as well start getting the accessories. (Grin) Thanks!!!
I HATE cut and paste and I make no guarantees about the accuracy of the numbers, but this is part of the history of govt. gun control in this nation. What will prevent this from being repeated?? Being armed and able to defend myself and my family jumps to mind. Promises that "For your own...
