After viewing a photo of the rare and exotic unicorn jackalope, I decided to post a picture of my one of a kind mount. This is likely the only Moobadowl that has ever been taken in North America. They are so rare that they haven't been recognized as even existing, and as such have avoided...

I have a go-to rifle that you would think is my favorite, but when thinking about this a while I have to go with the one that has the best history. The rifle is a Model 94 Winchester saddle ring carbine, 32 special, mfg. in 1923. I have an old picture of my maternal grandfather hunting with...

I love the look, and was wondering what the beam length was. The lack of a G5 on one side only enhances the length. For perspective, my 320" bull is a perfect 6x6, but only has 43" beams. You need a tall ceiling to hang that one.

Don't lie to a warden, EVER! Those guys get BS from every dude who has an excuse for his poor behavior. If you screwed up, then fess up, and you will likely find you will be treated fairly. If you lie to him, then expect to get the hammer dropped on you. I have always enjoyed my encounters...

I had to cancel 3 Canada trips last year and have 2 scheduled for this year and I bet that you will need to show proof of vaccination to cross the border. It looks like a vaccination card will be issued for the shot and followup.

This is really a no-brainer. All you anti-vaxers out there; aren't you glad that vaccines have eliminated smallpox and polio? The childhood diseases that all of us over 50 had to suffer through are mostly eliminated, and are only coming back due to folks not taking the vaccine. Here's a list...

I am trying to get at least a couple hours per day cutting dead balsam on the road into my place. It's a good workout, but I can tell that I am going to have to cut back on the calories this winter; either that or start a trapline. Managing to keep finding some projects for the shop, after...

I make up emer. kits that are tuned to the trip, time of year, vehicles, etc. Something that a lot of people don't consider is what you should always have in your pockets. I have put my pack down while making a stalk, and had the devil of a time finding it in the dark later, and each year...

I guess that I should consider myself as fortunate, that here I am at 68 and my only surgeries so far are tonsils at age 2, and appendix at age 14.

I despise yoga also. In the P90X program, one of the cd's is Yoga, and when I was following the program religiously I grunted my way through it, but I avoid it as much as I can these days. Any guy who thinks that yoga is just for sissies should take a yoga class with a bunch of women and...

Yup, and you better get used to it. I've done a couple canoe trips (plus the planned arctic trip this summer) with a 74 year old guy who doesn't seem to have any aches & pains issues. Your extremely active lifestyle serves you well until the crash & burn episodes, and they sure add up as the...

I'll fly into Edmonton to meet up with my canoeing partner from Wawa, Ontario. I introduce him as "Enos from Wawa". Then fly to Yellowknife, Norman Wells, and finally a long floatplane ride to Horton Lake (north of Great Bear Lake). You can look up the specs on "Jackpine Paddle" 26 days...

It all went good cutting trees yesterday, until about two hours into it my back started yelling in my ear, "You stupid some-B, you're not 20 any more (or even 50)"

It's anyone's guess as to that, but Canada is in a bigger financial hurt-locker than the US, and another season of shut downs will likely kill off thousands of tourist based resorts and outfitters. The roll out of the vaccine will be the game changer, and I wouldn't be surprised if Canada...

Headed out to the woods shortly to do some cutting on bud-worm killed balsam and spruce. It's a PIA, but good exercise and something that needs doing.

**Canada fishing trip (Ontario) in May if the border opens by then. ** If not^, then a SW tour of the Indian sacred places with my wife. Also to visit a friend who needs some help shooting his BIG guns in the new Mexico desert. **360 mile canoe/fishing trip to the Arctic Ocean (NW...

Those relationships with friends and family are often taken for granted until they are no longer there. Especially in these difficult times, I've looked back and found little regret for the things that we have done together, but do have some regret for not expressing our appreciation for each...

Kid, I didn't know that you were origionally from Arkansas.

Great bull Trent. Those photos really show off the length of the main beams.

Now that's a cool looking buck, and with a great rack too. Wisc. has a small gene pool for albino bucks, and some pie-balds get shot each year. I'm not sure, but I thought the state had made it illegal to shoot one. The DNR generally is against protecting them.
