What’s Everyone Doing?

[Ikeepitcold]

Now that hunting is pretty much over and the holidays are done what’s everyone up to?

Im doing home project, picked up a new AR for coyote hunting so I’m getting that all put together. Spending some time at our cabin and trying to make some plans for the upcoming year for family vacation and possibly some fishing trips.

Applying for Wyoming Cow Elk and maybe Antelope depending on how the herd is doing.

 

[Timber Stalker]

Working on race jeeps, I switch back to racing mode after thanksgiving and don’t do much hunting stuff till August. Actually just fixed my broke rear end last Sunday that I broke last August.

 

[Mr Drysdale]

Still deer hunting here in Mississippi. Season closes January 31. I’ve not pulled the trigger on anything yet. I’ve got to put up a couple in the next few weekends. Temps down in the single digits over the weekend. Not normal here. Got a few guns to work on when the season ends. Looking forward to retirement at the end of the year.

Chukar hunting when I can until the end of the month. Then start working on new loads for my rifles, to get ready for spring bear and hopefully test them out. Got a family vacation in there somewhere and helping my buddies getting cows and calves to pasture for the summer. Once draw results are out make a plan for hunting in the fall.

 

[Colorado Cowboy]

Finishing up our winter Bulls Eye Pistol League. I won the Top Gun award for the 10 season in a row. Average score of 586/600 for the league. We will start Spring League in 2 weeks. I am also writing grant applications for range improvement projects for our local rifle pistol club.

Planning for my wife and I's 60 wedding anniversary later in the year. Getting bids for some new flooring and kitchen remodeling in our home.
That's about it.

Look like you have one heck of a shop!

Im working on getting at 30’x80’ barnduminium built at my place next year. Front 30’ will be living space and the back 30’ would be a shop and storage. 20’ would be covered porch.

Waiting for turkeys and salt fishing

 

[Hilltop]

Hunting upland and small game between snow storms. Finishing up this falls processing. Need to slow my kid down a little- he is sure keeping the freezer full. Will ramp up umpire training clinics in 2 weeks, then transition into umpiring. 87 games last season while my son did 30. we should both be over 100 this season if we don't get too many rainouts. Need to pay for the applications and trips!

That sounds really nice. That 20’ covered porch is going to be great!

I'm just finishing up some winter shop projects, and spent the last couple days plowing out from our first signifigant snowfall. My primary exercise/property improvement program has just been approved by the County Forestry : clearing almost 8 acres of budworm killed balsam and spruce trees. If I work 2-3 hours per day when the weather permits, I should have it done in 2 years or so. OOF DAH!!

 

[Finsandtines]

Working and working out!

Ive been trying to get a handle on the bush honeysuckle at the cabin. The stuff is really taking over. Ive been manually cutting it with a brush cutter (weed eater kind) and spraying with brush kill. Hard work and not making much progress. Ill probably have to end up spraying the stuff to make progress.

Id like to build a 30x40 garage with 3 bays up at the cabin. Im leaning towards stick building it but not ruling out a quonset hut. Im really happy with the monolithic pour we did for the cabin so would go that route for the floor.

A 7 shot group from my wife's new 7-08 Howa. Wind was howling up the hollow from left to right. Hornady 139 grain American whitetail (Cheap ammo).

Few upgraded to the trailer.

Need to put in my retractable ratchets in the front and rear and I will be good to go. Need to speed up this process because every weekend when we go to camp, I am sick of taking 10 minutes getting everything lashed down. Hopefully it takes 1 minute from now on.

Update - I now plan to spend the rest of the month digging out from a recent storm.

My neighbors-


Hwy that goes by our little town. Down to one lane of 20 mph. Normally a 65mph great highway.


Snow shovel fuel. Glad I have full freezers. Grocery store shelves are pretty bare with all the roads closed.
