But......... it wasn't a junker. And not only how many men today COULD make a sight like that for their kids gun, but how many would even bother to??? I dunno if you're a Dolly Parton fan but this gun reminded me of her song "coat of many colors".... I may have edited it a little bit to fit this post....
Back through the years I go wonderin' once again Back to the seasons of my youth I recall a box of rags pile of steel that someone gave us And how my mama dad put the rags steel to use There were rags of many colors was steel of all kinds Every piece was small And I didn't have a coat gun And it was way down in the fall Mama sewed the rags] Dad brazed the steel together Sewin' Brazin' every piece with love She He made my coat of many colors gun of many pieces That I was so proud of
My coat gun of many colors pieces That my mama Dad made for me Made only from rags pieces But I wore shot it so proudly Although we had no money Well, I was rich as I could be In my coat of many colors with my gun of many pieces My mama Dad made for me
Mrs. yotetrapper30, you are a poet. Bonnie Parker couldn't have done that better.
Haha, Im 43 and I was gonna replace pool with pond and pop and pizza with beer….and beer…. I dont remember the music that was played exactly but i was an assortment
I still don't quite understand your situation tlguy.
You had a deer camp and killed plenty of deer when you could hunt over bait but after baiting was illegal there were no deer killed.
Baiting had that much of an influence? Where did the deer go? Please dont say they all went to the neighbor that illegally baits. That simply is not true. A travelling rutting buck proves that wrong.
Was it only 100 acres with 6 guys as yotetrapper30 describes? If so, the bait wasn't your issue...it was land availability & access.
There is very little agriculture here where most of my deer hunting takes place. Hunting over bait has been legal since 2008 (if I remember correctly.) Prior to that everyone around me baited except me (because I was the game warden.) How do I know that? Because I charged their butts regularly, but they kept doing it because the fines set by the county were so low. But, guess what....I still killed plenty of deer in those pre-legal-baiting years.
Dont hate on my smaller southern deer. It took them 1000s of years to adapt to these poor sandy soils and survive. They survive infected sand gnat bites carrying EHD better than them northern whitetails do.
Running my first trap-line this season, my father used to trap when he was alive and I've decided to follow in some of his footsteps. I've done a great deal of research, but I'm not too knowledgeable on the subject of baits and lures and was hoping for some guidance. I'm located in northwest Arkansas and was wondering if anyone could give me some bait and lure suggestions. I'm getting most of my supplies from fntpost.
As we remember, loose goose shared that be wanted to kill the police and almost did, when they raided the drug house he was living in his with his mother and her drug dealer significant other. His terrible childhood is clearly what warped his world view. Unsurprisingly, it's warped his world view enough that he's trying to tank a thread in support of our National Guard and ICE.
It’s up to you, find what works best. Unlike the beav I like my board to match the curve of my knife for at least the the top portion. When making my favorite board, I would sprinkle baby powder on it and then push my knife down to see if there were any low spots.
Breast down in an oven bag in that Magnalite with the lid on. Take it out and let it sit 45 minutes before carving. It won't be browned and pretty but will be nice and juicy. Pretty, browned roast turkey might look good but the breast meat is always dry.
Quarterly filing of self employment tax doesn't get calculated on a tax form. You just estimate the tax owed and pay that. But they want it to be paid in equal payments so you have to guess right. I got a scolding letter because i had an unexpected large sale one quarter and paid more that quarter. Payments weren't equal. So in january you already need to know how much money youre going to have made in December. Makes sense when you just accept that it's the government.
I don't worry about that stuff any more. If your in business scolding letters are going to come. They make the rules impossible and scold when you can't follow them.
That's what it's all about right there. We lost the patriarch of our deer camp, my grandpa, back in 2008. What I wouldn't give to have one more night of sheepshead with him.
ok everyone I'm not talking about a pasty, I'm from the U. P. the pasty capital of the us, I'm talking about a meat pie, you can buy they in most store here but they don't have venison or other wild game, many of the homemade ones have venison and wild game in they,
The meat pie has a bunch of recipes in a search. Easy to tweak a recipe to your liking.
How may traps are wrapped up on that coon. looks like a great fishing trip.
I had a couple DP's attached to the big hunk of steel. And I had a couple of MB450's on a long chain and pre-hooked drag by a bird seed block. I thought they were far enough apart. But he was able to drag that hunk of steel far enough to tangle them up.
