10-Ring

That is my slowest time of the year. For me it will be a little bit of sleeping in on the weekends. Chores in the yard, cleaning guns, respooling fishing reels, and whatever maintenance my boat needs to get it ready for the next year. Once mid March rolls around I'll start fishing again and won't have a free weekend between fishing and hunting until next January.

How much data do you need? Straight Talk Wireless just released a 10 gig for $55 per month plan. If cell phones work good where you are this would be the ticket if you can live with 10 gigs per month. Just pick up one of their hot spots and you are good to go. Another plus to this is there are no contacts.

There used to be this guy, went by the name Commsnbombs...

I loathe it but I must go to where work sends me.

$150k is a bunch, $60k is a bunch too. Guess it's a matter of perspective.

I don't have near as much issue not being able to carry on a plane as I do not being able to carry when I land in Chicago. Only thugs can carry there.

Just went through security at BNA. walking out of the security area and there is a BNA cop just standing there with an AR-15. The only problem that I have with this is that I can't take mine. Just thought it was a bit odd.

Their position is nothing new and I promise Levis that they won't see my money. I'm a Wrangler guy when I wear jeans. Up until the last year that was daily. My new job doesn't allow jeans. I actually got a pair of 5.11 tactical pants a few months ago and I have found them to be much more comfortable and durable than jeans anyway. Plus I love having all of those pockets! They are a little bit pricier than Wranglers but still not as expensive as Levis. For years when I've seen a guy wearing Levis I've either figured that he doesn't pay attention, doesn't care, or he's just a sissy.

I just try not to complain too much, it sets me apart from the crowd Seriously though I figure it's a minor issue for a $50 piece of equipment that is otherwise good. Just have to remember to check function.

Dropped a lone doe yesterday evening. Very odd to see a lone doe at that spot, usually I come out of there with three at a time. Back at it in another spot now.

I have a Wildgame Innovations from Dick's that I paid about $50 for. It's the only cam I've ever had. Quality of the photos is great. It doesn't seem to trigger past about 10 yards. Only complaint is that sometimes when I replace the card it doesn't take any pictures. I try to remember to test it when I replace the card. I've only had it for a few months but so far I have no complaints.

I thought ANOTHER phone was biting the dust on me and losing color. I was seeing a flip phone in my future, other than that it's great!

I've had the same thing happen, wasn't a pleasant experience even though it was determined that I was in the right.

Don't some of the 1500s run the 5.7 as well? It should sounds the same.

I've only heard a couple of shots and haven't seen anything.

Here's the thing as far as I'm concerned, they removed both of their testicles when they took ARs of the shelf, they only got one of them back when they put the ARs back out. They will have to do something spectacular to earn the other one back.

I was at Academy today and they had a wide selection of ARs in many varieties.

Something that always fascinated me in that area was Scona Lodge, a former 5 star resort visited by some huge names until the 1990's. It features a golf course and a trout pond but all but a small trace of it is now gone. Primarily it was was accessed via ferry just below Calderwood Dam in Blount/Monroe Counties, depending on which side you were on because it was difficult to approach from the land side. Here is a write up http://garysoutdoorwanderings2.blogspot.com/2012/02/story-of-scona-lodge.html?m=1

My observation is a cold snap usually gets deer moving. I've predicted rut activity for the past few years using a lunar calender. Since I've been doing this I've seen a lot of rut activity within a few days after a full moon. I saw zero rut activity this past weekend, but my prediction is that they will be rutting hard and moving well on Saturday.

Got a 10 pointer on Saturday afternoon so it's doe only from here on out for me. I'll have to be super careful with the new buck regs. I'm being a little different Saturday morning, I'm hitting the woods with a 44 mag revolver. I've never taken a deer with a handgun, I'm looking forward to the chance.

Ha, not yet but cut up and in the cooler. That comment about not telling where was tongue in cheek, everyone always wants to know where in hunting. Obviously if I divulge that information it wouldn't be a good spot anymore.

Dropped a healthy doe at 4:15, not bad for public land, and no I won't tell where it is.

I scored a nice six pointer a little before 11. The deer were really moving to give me 4 opportunities. Hung it up, cleaned and reloaded the rifle, and now in back I the stand!

Just call me Elmer Fudd for today. Deer #1 at less than 10 yards, I pull the trigger and get a "click." Somehow my cap had fallen off, no idea how. Deer #2 30 yards, pop, but no bang. Deer #3 50 yards, pop, no bang. Pulled my breech plug, one of the miss fires had caused the load to evacuate the barrel. Cleaned everything out, waiting on deer #4. And this is why I don't support the movement of single shot rifles being included I the muzzle loader season.
