    Official Post Padding Thread

    I had the same dilemma a few years back. I racked my brain, talked to my Mom & Sisters and still came up empty. My Dad loved to hunt & fish so I chartered a boat & guide and took him fishing. My Dad would rather catch trout than anything, so we went to a lake in California and caught a ton of...

    SW Colorado Bucks

    On our home from town this evening and saw 5 bucks right next to the road about 1/2 mile from our place. Pictures could have been better, but one was a great buck with a drop tine. Funny thing is that they were fighting and one had a big gash on his rt shoulder.

    Got the old Smokepole singin'

    Just got back from the range doing the last preseason shooting with my T/C Pro Hunter. Got my new supply of .501 Thor Bullets and they do shoot great! Got a 3 shot 1 3/4" group at 100 yds that prints 1" high. Unfortunately I forgot my camera. I finally got the new SeeAll sight dialed in and I...

    Scouting 2015

    Pictures taken at 9 to 10k feet. Everything is so green & lush, looks like spring. I rode my quad, roads really rough, didn't want to take my new truck as I really doesn't have a lot of clearance.

    Scouting 2015

    Just got back. Saw a lot of country, most of it where I was last week. Left home a lot earlier and saw lots of animals. Lots of deer, some elk, 3 bears and a few grouse. Found a couple of really good looking areas with lots of tracks leading from a huge grove of Quakkies going to water and feed...

    Ford N9 Tractor

    Neighbor just sold his house and is moving. He gave me his N9 and several attachments. Doesn't seem to run well as it overheats. Guess I got a new project. I'm going to start with the radiator and water pump. One of the attachments is a brush hog, should get a lot of use out of it.

    Fishing 2015

    Seeing all these Browns, just had to show the one my wife caught a couple of years ago. She was using one of my special "Garden Hackles". A great big night crawler that I inflated so it would float up off the bottom. I surprised her with a mount of it for Christmas. Took all the dimensions &...

    Scouting

    Spent a lot of the last 2 days scouting a unit that I have never hunted elk there before. I made a mistake and put the wrong unit choice for my M/L elk choice. I drew it and then realized I had a problem. Luckily it is only 60 miles north of my home place so I can spend some time scouting. This...
