Non-Typical Solutions

Are 1 and 2 not the same? Yup.....the same!!! Churches and marriage......both way out there at like......2000 yards, I'll go ahead and sneak up and get closer and some will shoot from a long distance....to each their own.......I do love hunting and fishing with my wife and some of my most spiritual experiences have not been in a church....which I do attend regularly. And my church donation makes it easy to tell all other door bangers that I already contribute to a reliable non-profit organization! #1 and #2 Digging that grave for my father in law along side my son was pretty spiritual experience as was building his casket....neither happened in a church!!! Lots of great church experiences outside the walls of a building! Hope you had a great time at the retreat.......can't knock somebody trying to make life better!!!

Digging through some old photos! Any old timers out there have any idea what this picture is?

You know if you look at that third word at the bottom of the picture it might say ore???

I don't care what range you are shooting at, shooting at a target besides your own is just not cool!!!

Good job exposing young men to fun times!! Looks fun!!!

Two stories in two days......glad we have some gun packers out there!!! http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/video/escaped-georgia-prisoners-captured-days-run-48080205 http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2017/06/14/532894023/gunman-opens-fire-as-members-of-congress-practice-baseball

Pretty tough to beat good fishing with family!!! Jealous!

H....S.....

Just picked up a couple of "Frozen" rods for my two grand daughters.....looking forward to getting them "hooked" on fishin. Glad you got your truck woes taken care of ...... I spent a deer hunt day few years back in a similar boat in Williams trying to get my truck fixed.....

This. Sling with the sports package will get you ESPN plus PAC-12, SEC, and several other networks. NCAA wrestling???

Art Dillman became my father in law back in 83! Spent many outings hunting, grilling and shooting a lot of bull! Art passed away June 1 peacefully at the age of 82! Worked til the day he died! Hard nosed as hockey sticks and give the shirt off his back for you! Art asked me 5 years ago to build a casket for him and then two years ago he scared the crap out of us so I hurried home and put a casket together for him! RIP old man, you were tired and have moved on to the other side!

Art didn't want a viewing so I just kept the lid one piece!Building a casket for someone you care about is a pretty spiritual experience and in this case since he was still alive fun cause I got to send him pictures! The hinges on the other side are just loops of rope stapled in! My boys, Penny's husband and I dug the grave and covered it up! Nothing on that casket is patented so feel free to steal any ideas, I just tried to make it fit the man!!!

Rag Horn....you just messed up his bird watching camera!!! Have to admit I have had a camera or two knocked around to where I had some great pictures of cloud patterns.....

Have been to the Grand Canyon multiple times but just curios, is there anything keeping me from finding a flat spot off the main highway and parking my camp trailer for three days pre Canyon Park area? I know there are several dirt roads just prior to the park entrance!!

Do you recall what the name of the RV park is??? The only one I found was the one inside the park?? Thanks!!!

How fast is 30 knots???

If you are interested in some fat carry over pole bending rainbows Nelson was respectable this weekend! Not lots but quality keeper fish!! Nothing small!

The Diamond A Ranch down the road had a full-time wolf trapper for years, and Monroe Dunagan, who lived about 12 miles south of Animas was also a very active wolf trapper. Dave Dunagan had photos of his dad with lots of wolves and wolf pelts. If you read J. Frank Dobie's biography of Ben Lilly, you will see that he killed a LOT of wolves up in the Gila, pretty much right where they are being reintroduced in New Mexico. Many of the wolves being reintroduced are descended from wolves captured in Mexico because they had already been extirpated from the U.S. by the time the Fish and Wildlife Service began their restoration program, but there were already quite a few in the U.S. in zoos that had been bred in captivity. I was just referring to what their own publications states as far as the Mexican Gray Wolf is concerned and besides Ben, you know as well as I do that bootheel of New Mexico...aka Gadsen Purchase......yep....Mexico!!! As for the wolf population and it effects of the herds of elk in Wyoming and Montana....there must be alot of "fake news" about what those populations are or aren't doing to them!!! Just hope they don't try to bring back the velociraptor........I don't want to sit in my camp and hear that sound ever!!!

Just barely.........

Were you there for the downpour???

In a magazine booklet i picked up @G$F it states that the wolf never existed in the current relocation area but roamed further south down in what is now Mexico! So technically according to their own information it is not a reintroduction but an introduction!

I have wondered often about points you bring up and I agree 100% with you. There was a time living out in the middle of nowhere New Mexico that I thought I knew how to "hunt'! Buy an over the counter tag when deer season rolled around and go to the hills where we "knew" there had to be deer! Try to walk around really calm and quiet with the hopes of jumping up a buck and having the opportunity for a clear shot. But if we didn't get a shot my brother was just over the next ridge and maybe if we were lucky that buck might go over there! No optics! No 4 wheeler.....ok sometimes a mule...... No trail cam..... And low and behold who had ever heard of pre-season scouting??? Pre season scouting was asking the rancher for permission to hunt on his spread and how did the deer population look!!! After moving from the middle of nowhere and realizing that "hunting" was way more than what I had ever imagined I realized that I really wasn't much of a hunter after all compared to what the rest of the hunting community was doing! I was just walking around in the hills with a gun, tag and a prayer that I just might be lucky enough to find a buck and get at least one good shot! I remember when graduating from open sights to a gun that actually had a scope on it was pretty steep upgrade for my neck of the woods and it was not allowed to make that graduation step until it was proven I could accurately shoot open sights!!! Lots of things changed and like couesmagnet said.....trail cams for me have influenced where I have hunted but I have never personally benefited from what was on my camera and what I wrapped my tag around! I enjoy trail cams because everybody in my family can enjoy, nobody needs a tag and my wife is all in venturing out with me which is a bonus!!!

No words can describe the appreciation I have for those who have served and currently serve on behalf of the freedoms I enjoy! My family is blessed and we are so thankful for those willing to defend our country! Thank you very much!!!! Be safe out there everybody!!!

Thanks for posting that link........
