    Two In A Row- Kudos to OF&W

    Saw deer by the dozen, including a nice little forked horn who wandered into camp. More than half the days hunting we saw two legal bucks , several within 100'. And a great number of horses, I'd heard there is a problem in Murder's Creek but ...wow. They came into camp on three...

    Tent Patch

    I use a GI tent of unknown vintage and over the winter some mice got to it and chewed a series of holes in the roof. I patched the holes with some iron on patches, since no one in this area would work on a tent this old, and so far so good. The plan was to test the patches through the harder...

    Recently installed W 10 and today I found out I can no longer download photos from my memory care onto the computer. A quick net search revealed quite a number of users with similar problems.
