My alma mater and who I played football for against Alabama. GO TROJANS!!!

Here are my 2 attached to my wife's suv & my truck.

It started to cloud up this AM and a storm rolled in right after noon. Been raining here all afternoon with lightning & thunder and about 50 degrees. It is August and the La Platas got a dusting of snow. Me thinks this is a bit early!

Antelope shot at 417 yards. .257 Wby, bullet was a 100 gr Nosler Ballistic Tip. My own reloads, chronographed at 3500 fps. Destroyed a complete front shoulder . I am not a big fan of this bullet (I do shoot and love Nosler Partition bullets), but 100 were given to me so I loaded them up. They...

In January I bought a 2013 F350, crew cab, single rear wheel short bed, 4x4, Powerstroke, 6 speed auto tranny, Lariat trim with every extra you could get. 31,000 miles. Beautiful truck, like new. Paid less than 40,000 including 100k warranty. Metalflake root beer with gold trim, tan leather...

When I saw the last picture, I suddenly realized what you are calling cement siding is a lot like what I called "Hardy Board" siding. When we built our home in 2000, vinyl siding was used, which I was not real happy with. In 2010 the siding on the south facing surfaces was a mess. Sun UV...

Finally found some aluminum steps for my hunting trailer. Got them installed yesterday. They fold up and are stored inside. Sure better than the heavy wooden set I made to start with. Next is a new ceiling vent.

I live on 10+ acres at 6800' and raise some hay. I have irrigation shares too. I hold all my water in a 2 acre pond that I pump out of. We used to have a big garden (25' x 50') that I had to fence to keep the deer out of it. Put up a 5' fence, kept the deer out, but not elk. We don't have elk...

I just received an email from SPOT informing me that the current plan that my device is under contract to SPOT is being discontinued. The new program will cost $149.95 annually vs the $99.95 I currently pay. Hard to find out exactly why a 50% increase, but for me it seems to be just a little bit...

Been hunting Chukars since the 60's when they were first planted in California. I have hunted them in Calif, Oregon, Nevada, Utah and here in Colorado. They are my favorite upland game bird. The picture is from a hunt in 1975 at China Lake NWC. Used to be able to get permission to hunt it once...

This my new Lab Jenny. Waited over a year to get a new dog. Jenny is 2 now and I am waiting for this falls waterfowl season....she is ready.

This is my Lab Molly who I hunted with for 11+ years. Finally had to put her down at almost 14. She was the best dog I have ever owned.

Later this month I'll be heading to a lake here in SW Colorado that is loaded with crawdads. I'll be taking a couple of traps and should catch a lot of them little buggers. I was wanting to hear from any of you that do a boil on them...what is you favorite spice to use. Our local markets don't...

Picture of the duck call is not too good. Also attached is a set of pistol grips on my .22 High Standard Bulls Eye gun that I made.

Received my refunds for Moose and Desert Sheep in the mail today. Those that didn't draw should be getting their too.

The maple stocked Springfield is one of the first stocks I did when I was about 18. Still shoot it today.

The weather sure is wet here in the SW part of the state. Our snowpack was great and runoff is getting well along. Our local lakes are getting full and everything looks like a great spring. It has been raining of & on for several weeks which just adds to our moisture. I have only irrigated a...

UH got me thinking about just the opposite of his post. What shot did you take that you wish you could take back? For me the one that really stands out was on a buck deer many years ago. My Dad and I were hunting in the coast range of southern California inland from Ventura. We had just started...

For those of us who enjoy taking and looking at photos of wildlife and outdoor scenery, this months issue of "Wyoming Wildlife" has a great story written by retired editor Chris Madson. It was really thought provoking and eye opening for me. The main theme was the ethics of the whole photography...

Some of you might remember that I was given an old Ford Tractor. It's a 1941 9N that is stock as far as I know. It sat all winter and I final got to work on it this week. Bought a new battery and tried to start it today. Started to crank over and then quit. Then the hot wire to the solenoid...
