    12 Years Ago Today

    Yeah shooting him in the face was cool but giving the American people proof would have offended some haters. A bad call. But I do believe he's dead. Conspiracy theorists had been batting a thousand up to now.

    Anyone raise Turkey?

    We raise Royal Palms and its fun to watch the tom strut around. Not sure what your question is. We keep ours in a yard during the day with 6' tall.fence and lock them up in an aviary at night. They like to roost as high as they can get so it's a delicate balance knowing how much wing to clip and still enable them to roost high off the ground. Helps if they have an old dead tree with limbs to get up. Turkeys are one of bobcats favorite prey. You've got to enclose them at night, roof and floor too. Still might have some taken in the daylight by predators. Our turkeys put themselves away at dusk, we just have to lock the doors behind them.

    I'm familiar with bucket dredging but had to look the Bima up. I can't imagine the.ammount of maintenance it took to keep something like that operating. Even in the simplest mining endeavor is plagued with breakdowns, interruptions and failure. Thanks for sharing. I made it to Nome twice on catchers. The company managers were so scared of crews jumping ship that only trusted veteran employees were allowed in town. I spent 4 weeks anchored off shore and only a few hours in town. Would have gladly traded my.position as crane operator to dredge in Nome.

    Son Lost His Billfold

    Something about the way I was getting out of the tractor at work was making my wallet fall out. Found it the first couple times but eventually my luck ran out. An old timer asked me if he could metal detect on the acreage I work on and I said "sure." Dang if he didn't come across my wallet. We're good friends now.

    Camping for turkey in unit 27 ideas

    Heading south out of Alpine, take a right on Middle Mountain Rd. Lots of camping and a water tank about 1000 yards south. Everything a turkey could want

    NM Unit 24/Fort Bayard

    As a youngin, you could see Ft Bayard and Hurley from my grand parents back porch. Some great glassing opportunities from those desert picachos in the southern portions of the unit. They may look barren but hold nice bucks. Get out ahead of the hunt to assure access. Area ranchers have been known to lock gates and post private property signs on the public lands they've leased.

    Seemed like a good day

    I was thinking the same thing. A good day is 1 1/2g. Occasionally youll find a picker in the 3g size thatll make the day. If you can stay out a few days at a time you'll earn but these gas prices are biting into that margin. Go Brandon. I've found 3 ways to make $$ at this. 1)Find gold on unclaimed land.like the above pics, claim them for a $225 filing fee and sell fast for 50x that. 2) sell the gold in artwork or in Paydirt bags. Ex. At the recent Wickenburg Gold Rush Days, we sold over 300 bags of Paydirt. They each contained $10-15 worth of gold and sold for $30 each. 3) A way to make money is tutoring those whom want to learn gold recovery. That's my day time job. Dredging, drywashing, panning, milling, smeltering, testing, Miller table etc.
