Skynyrd stealing the Stones thunder in England with Give me a T for Texas and then walking on the Stones Stage tongue. American Grit! 😀

Not sure yall could open previous link sent. My favorite songs always seem to have real life parallels or speak to things that I’ve witnessed or learned (often the hard way)throughout my life. And Stanley, thank you for the April Wine…..jammed heavily yo them in the early 80’s. This is fun and has me smiling! Keep it going! bill

https://youtu.be/tW8F8JCn6UQ Bigorange, really enjoyed the Ode to bourbon. Apparently “my song” has now been written and sung! 😂 Here’s one that I’ve been playing on repeat. bill

Nice buck and nice shot! CONGRATS! bill

CONGRATS Sneakem! Dandy buck in a tough year indeed!

Well done Amigo! bill

So….how’d you do Steve? Tell that story brother! 😀 bill

Saw a buck with 3 doe while scouting this morning in 35A and another larger buck alone. The cooler “blue sky” morning had them up and active…at least in my neck of the woods. Good luck to all!

Steve, I am local here. 2nd week of this hunt is best as training activities will be low, thus more open areas. Download Fort Huachuca off Avenza maps (isportsman) if you haven’t already. Call or shoot a text tomorrow and we can discuss some of the areas that produce decent deer. 520-two six six-1312. bill

ALYUAZ-Thank you for posting this. In looking at the hatchet, it appears that it will meet my expectations, and it won’t break the bank (especially so close to Christmas) either! 😀. I think that this is the one I’ll go with. Still planning to take Edge’s class in the spring too! bill

Edge, Thank you for the information and link. I have always had an interest in blacksmithing/forging ever since I was a kid. I remember going about my chores and watching as the farmer repaired or fabricated using heat, anvil, and hammer. I knew then that it was both art as well as hard work, but still always wanted to try my hand at it. Then the Army got in the way and I got good at breaking stuff with a hammer…..but not much else. 😂 I’ll take you up on the offer to learn and will contact you via the link. Thank you, bill

Thanks guys! Great options you listed! I may look down in Palominas at 2nd hand place for a used Plum. bill

Hello Fellow Sportsmen and Women, I’m looking for advice on a solid camp axe/hatchet. Would prefer it to be made here in the USA, but those seem to be tough to come by. Looked at a Swedish made axe by the name of bruks, but man they sure are proud of them! I don’t mind doing the last 10% of the refinements necessary to bring an axe up to 100%, just want it to be solid/well made from head to tail to begin with. Preferably a hickory or ash handle. And to have the steel to hold an edge. And I want NOTHING made in the CHICOM nation either. Any help or advice is much appreciated! Bill
