I just had a kid tell me in class that he had never had milk with donuts..........it is a changing world😂

My dad was anti scope.......if you couldn't see it with your bare eye and use open sites you had no business shooting.......

130....I've kinda started wondering if there is anything about hunting you do enjoy........take a deep breath.....you obivously have issues with.......stuff..... go out and enjoy the hunt because you are prepared for all the crap that can happen out there!!! Control what you can and enjoy!!!! We all get pissed about something.....how about sharing a fun hunting story with us!!!

I told my wife the same thing last night.....got in a fight with my cable company and SLing because all the sudden I don't get my Dback games.....both companies telling me the other company is responsible for my geolocation getting hacked by a third party company....blah, blah, blah.........what the heal is a geolocation, I just want to watch a baseball game!!!

I did go into McDonalds and order a burger....before 10:00am..... and got told I had to wait for the lunch menu........sooooooooo........well.....I'm out of touch with McDonalds the BURGER joint!!!

Cool pics.....

Nature girl??? I bet she spilled lots of beans!!!

Sent this link to my wife to get approval....we need the second one to run the A/C😂

Cool lookin buck...

Yesterday was the 35th for my wife and I........lots of years fishing, hunting, camping and doing absolutely everything together but this is how yesterday went down. I suggested we go out and check trail cams after church and then take her out to Charley Clarks for steak and ribs. She proposed we check trail cams after church and pack a picnic to eat while out in the woods.....that is my wife....love her to death! So we are slow rolling down the dirt road looking for wildlife and as we come around a corner....... Kelly: Have we gone over to look at that old fireplace and chimney before? Jeff: Yes dear, it is an old ranch house plot with some remains of the foundation, remember we went and walked around it before. (I got that look!!!) So I turn off and we drive the two tracker over two it to investigate again. She is in her flip flops and shorts and I warn her to get a stick for rattlesnake control, which gets me an eye roll....so we go check out the chimney area. Next thing I know she is walking up a little ridge to go "look"....... There are three water tanks close by the first one is dry, the second has a little water in it and I want to go see the third to check it out so we start following a fenceline to the third. All the sudden..... Kelly: Jeff there is something in that tree........ Which is a not so big juniper about 10' away from us. Jeff after looking closely: It is a bear..... Kelly: What should we do? Jeff: Start backing up slow and we will just back off. Kelly: Should we run..... Jeff: Na we'll be ok..... All the sudden the bear is bumbling out of the tree, crashing breaking limbs and Kelly takes off, I'm still backing up slowly waving my hands up in the air and hollering at the bear as it hits the ground and takes of running opposite direction. Jeff: Honey.....come on back the bear took off!!! Kelly is back and we head towards the tree again to walk to the water tank. Kelly: Jeff!!!! there is still something in the tree.......... We watched this little guy as he bawled and ate berries and then finally came down and rambled off bawling the whole time. We were vigilant as we watched from the truck, got out to take a few pictures but dang......alll because we had to go see that chimney again..... Great day out in the woods!!!

Here are the two victims of my fish guiding....they both think I am the greatest ever....we got lucky!!! This is the first time they ever fished, it was so fun to watch the excitement doing something I take for granted!!

Its because Big Lake has been getting lots of rain and the nutrients goes way up creating lots phosphorus and nitrogen. Just the right cocktail of sun, rain, wind, and weather will produce this bloom. The algea bloom could kill all the fish off it gets to bad. Cannero lake just had one and killed last month I heard. Big Lake being deeper and larger I doubt it will kill, it never does from what Ive seen. There were lots of lunkers swimming right up at the edge just under the murk slime.......it made me worry that in fact there was going to be a kill! I just have never seen it like that at Big Lake.

We trolled Nelson on Saturday......dragging peacock ladies on sinking line......probably caught 20 fish in an hour....nothing but stockers but we had two girls with us that had never fished before so now according to them I am the best fishing guide around. Middle of the day trolling least favorable conditions beautiful weather and enjoyed being up there!!!

What is up with the thick build up of algae slime at Big Lake......I have never seen it like that there. Nelson and Luna yes but not at Big Lake???

Man.....where did the summer go???

Very cool........gotta get back up there......

Looking for pros/cons on these two rigs. Starting with 2003-2008 used models...... According to craigslist they aren't even in the same price range and I am curious as to the why? I have owned an older model Tacoma but am fighting with the prices.......I loved the Tacoma I had......

Sweet ride to the promised land Tommy..........

Cool finds and video.......jealous for sure!!!

Went there undefeated back in 78.......and got beat on the court and then got beat at practice the following Monday for losing to a not so good team........back in those days horse racing was all I remember hearing about Ruidoso.......

No running the mouth....always solid info....

I know it was brought up on another thread but when my wife read this to me out of the local paper I thought it appropriate for CWT! Thanks Bill!
