Huh, what Lark???? Since when and where is moonshine big business???? I've got a couple of friends that brew their own beer, but I've never seen any 'business' bigger than that in moonshine.... S.

Way to go Nick!!!!!! AWESOME!!!!! S.

Nice buck Casey! Also a nice tribute to your grandma. Glad to see a big smile on your face! S.

That's awesome!! Thanks for sharing!! S.

Outstanding Hector!!!!! Great story and pics! Congrats to both of you two on a great hunt!! S.

VERY cool!!!! Congrats to the young men!! S.

Way to go Allen! Congrats on a great hunt!! S.

Those are awesome pics Amanda!!!!! Nice running into you down there! It's great that Annie had a great time! BIG +1 on the comments regarding Gabe, Bobby, and their crew (Steve, Michael, Olga, MANY others, etc....)! They REALLY have the Junior Camps down!! Gabe's green chili, and Olga's salsa were amazing!! Such great hosts!! S.

LOL!!!! I was thinking to myself this morning that I was really looking forward to stories/pics from Allen & Hector's hunt! Now we MUST see a pic of the carpet along with the other stuff!!! S.

What a great buck! Congrats to the young hunter! Thanks for sharing. S.

Nice! Looks heavy! S.

Yes, + 1 to several of the past few posts! I never run the heater in the tent. The kids and I stay plenty warm with a combination of a beenie (or hoodie for the kids.... ) and WOOL BLANKETS! They will make any sub-freezing rated sleeping bag a whole lot warmer by just draping over your bag as you sleep! Huge difference IMO. S.

Just saw this post!!! Good for Ryan! VERY glad that he was able to connect with his first buck! I liked the hunter's safety pics too!!! Best, S. PS: Sorry we didn't run into you guys down there this year. Maybe next time......

Way to go!! Congrats to Hunter!!! Thanks for sharing, S.

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! S.

Way to go Riley!!! We'll miss you on the junior hunts!! S.

Yikes Amanda! Don't know if I could have slept...... Hear too many horror stories! I'm especially careful with my new tent, which is the Ultimate Alaknak, which doesn't breath quite like canvas. My heater & stove (for coffee/cocoa) are ALWAYS off when we sleep. I Just put an extra wool blanket over each kid while they sleep, and we're fine. Of course they end-up staying in their bags in the morning waiting for me to warm the coffee/cocoa, and hence the tent! Be safe all!! S.

AWESOME!!!! I'm taking my boys out on a Junior hunt this weekend! Can't wait! Thanks for sharing! S.

VERY, VERY GOOD WARNING DOUG!!!! Thanks for sharing! S.

Thanks for the info Jim. As usual, comprehensive and thoughtful! I bought The Claw a couple of seasons ago now, and suppose I really have not put it to it's true use. Really, we just used it as a glorified tripod mount on my son's last hunt, as opposed to truly 'locking it in' and supporting the butt with sticks, etc... I generally shoot bolt action rifles, but have a 7.MM BAR that we use on occasion, and I had considered the 'clamp' effect and positioning on the action of that rifle for sure! I too, have become VERY accustomed to shooting sticks. I carry them on every hunt, and definitely use them with/for my kids. As demonstrated by my little Greta last month, they are invaluable for a 'small' shooter who doesn't necessarily have the arm strength to support a heavy gun on their knee, much less make a shot! I personally, always try to shoot off the sticks, as it gives me a rest that makes me feel comfortable/confident. Thanks a bunch for the thoughtful write-up and information! S.

Good write-up Jim! Curious; Have you used The Gun Claw? If so, I'm curious as to how you would compare the two?? Thanks, S.

Sorry, I don't know 20B. I think though, that there will be a Junior Camp in 20C as usual! You should get in touch with the guys at Youth Outdoors Unlimited, and/or the G&F to inquire about the camp. My guess is that they will be able to help you for your hunt in 20B! Good luck! S.

Hilarious!!!!
