    When did you kill your first deer?

    When I was 12 in 1954 in California. Notice it was a neck shot at about 75 yards with iron sights. Guess I started out pretty lucky!

    Best Way to Sharpen a Knife

    I use a couple of different things for keeping an edge on my knives. To start the process, I use a traditional whetstone with cutting oil. The oil keeps the stone from filling up with the residue I take off the knife. Once the knife has the edge I want, I use a Smith's edge "refresher". It...

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Rifles

    The reason I used that action is because it fit that stock. I made the stock many years ago with an 03 Springfield action. I sold the action and because the buyer was right handed, I kept the stock. Decided one day to make another rifle for the stock as it is really beautiful grained & figured...

    Miroku Scope ?

    Don't know anything about them. The one thing in optics than I DO know about is YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! Cheaper price almost always means less quality. That has been a proven fact with optics for over 50 years.

    Trip to Anchorage help

    Not sure about that that, BUT we took a bunch of extra stuff and instead of bringing it home as excess baggage, we shipped it home via UPS. We took frozen fish home as our #50 per person allotment for checked in baggage on Alaska Air.

    Bed Cover for Pickup

    I am going to get a bed cover for my truck. I want a folding hard cover that is aluminum. I am looking at Lomax TriFold, Extang Encore TriFold and BackFlip 4 fold & trifold. Anyone have one? Good, Bad or Ugly experiences.

    If you have time you need to visit the Sportsman's Warehouse in Soldotna, it is huge and has some great stuff. I bought some rainware that was on sale that was really cheap. There is also a killer bakery in town "The Moose is Loose"..

    The 1 Thing You Learned- Rifles

    Thank you, I do love it. It is totally custom. It has a 03 Springfield action, Shilen match SS barrel, Timney Trigger & Leupold VXIII 6x20 on top. I made the thumbhole stock. It is unreal on Prairie Dogs.

    I started out with a foldable wire crate with bedding in it. Your right about them considering it their home.

    Dog issue

    I feed my Lab Purina HiPro salmon/tuna flavor. I only feed it dry, good for her teeth & tarter buildup. I absolutely won't feed a dog anything that'[s not at least 30% protein. I also feed twice a day measured. 2 cups in the morning, 2 afternoon. No table scraps. When she gets a little lean from...

    Nope. We used VRBO for our rental near Soldotna in 2019 and didn't have to pay any damage deposit and no cleaning deposit. The owner had our credit card and could have charged it for cleaning if we left it a mess. I think each rentor does their own thing when it comes to those charges and...
