With my hearing.....any gobble I can hear. Me too!! Hunting with my son he would text me “do you hear that bird a hammering it back on the ridge”? “Uh, no”.. I’ve got better hearing aids now and they help. Before I wore hearing aids at all I couldn’t hear a bird unless he was right on top of me..I had a bird come out in the field I was on. He was about 200 yards away. He did that gobble motion but I heard nothing. When he finally got to within 75 yards or so I could hear him. Protect your hearing folks... What do you do when you shoot while wearing hearing aids Woody? Mine will muffle it down some but not much. I can mute them on my phone but that takes a little movement.

Anybody ever do the $49 heart scan I hear advertised on the radio? I have heard both that they are beneficial and they are a waste of money just go to a cardiologist. Opinions?

Our farm had very few turkeys until I started trapping. Two years after taking 30 raccoons and several opossum the flock flourished. Then I stopped and now we are back to only seeing a few. Definitely a connection there.

Got a call from a friend once that his aunt had passed away and the family knew she had a lot of cash in her house. She lived in a bad part of Indy and he was afraid to go get it. He asked me to go along just in case. Thankfully never had to use the firearm but was slipped some cash for my service. It was amazing how much cash she had stashed all over that house. Older lady that didn’t trust banks.

Our local paper has gone to mailing them instead of using delivery drivers. Didn't miss the usual junk mail, but when my daily word jumble, sudoku, and funnies don't arrive I get a little cranky(er). They tried that in our area for awhile but people did not like getting their “morning” paper in the afternoon so that stopped.

Anybody got any recipes and or tips for smoking one I always boiled than cooked them think I’d like to try smoking it this time Do you realize how many times that cow turned around and licked it's butt with that tongue your cooking up to eat?? LOL That's what my dear old Papaw used to say on the matter of eating cows tongue. I have never tried it. Dad and I were watching our cows once when I was young and I asked him why we didn’t eat the tongue. Just then one cow stuck it’s tongue half way up it’s nose and Dad simply said “That’s one of many reasons right there”. I never asked again. Lol

Think that is one reason deer hunting has lost some of its luster with me. Tired of hearing antler size being the main topic of discussion in many groups. Comment I hate when shooting a buck is "That would have been a nice deer in a couple years." True but in another year he would be a little chewier.

I would imagine the ban will be tied up in court for years. The other things that I'm shocked haven't been gone after are the new short shotguns (that some consider a sawed off shotgun) and the AR pistols that can be shouldered using an arm brace (that some consider a short barreled rifle). Throw in tannerite and it's the trifecta of products I figured would be gone after by the left the day they were legalized. I agree. Still amazed at how those short shotguns are legal.

Yes. They have a “panel” that looks at every picture of every deer in question and they make a call. There was one buck that was under 15” but aged at 5 1/2 years old that they ok’d.

This is true. They had a 4-point on one side rule for a few years and switched to the 15” inside minimum. No penalty first year but too many under bucks were still being taken so now there are penalties. Can’t remember exacts but like 13” to 14.9” got you a “no more antlered deer” for the year and probation. Tiers down from there. Anytime you violate while on probation gets you a “no antlered deer” for three years. You can still hunt on the base but NO antlered deer. They say they are trying to bring their doe to buck ratio closer together while letting the younger bucks grow making a more enjoyable hunt in the future.

We would carry a saw and a roll of bailing wire and cut saplings and wire them to the trees. Our theory then was the wire would let the wood move more when the trees swayed and they would last longer. Long story short, they didn’t. Can’t believe we never got hurt.

Nice! Want to sell it? Lol Ha! No way dude lol I love this rifle and didn't pay much for it either. I fully understand. Like others have said about these guns, if I knew they were going to stop making them I would have bought a lot more of them.

Opening Day just isn’t the same as when I was a kid. Now because of park hunts and special hunts we have already gun hunted several times before Opening Day. Just my observation.

Sitting in line at Versailles. Good luck to all those hitting the woods today. We couldn’t make it today but might try tomorrow. Let us know how it goes. Keep hearing the herd is small there the last couple of years.

Before I shot mechanicals I removed the center rubber piece in my quiver that holds the arrow in two places but now I need that back so the mechanicals can kinda “float” up in the shield end of the quiver and not be pushed up in the holes. But of course I have no idea where I put it. I am shooting an older Horton Crossbow so quivers may not even be like this anymore.
