Funny thing about the wild edible class I took, John would show us what kind of plant it was and describe it and then say it doesn't taste real good, go to the next one same thing it doesn't taste real good. So a guy in the group and me got to talking and we decided we might take 1 or more of the plants and use for bait to shoot a rabbit or other game as far as we could tell none of the plants tasted good!!

I looked and Highwalker hasn't been on here since last September. I took one of his classes in '18 or '19, John is very knowledgeable. If someone here has his contact number, give him a ring and see how he is doing.

Greg, the deer decimated my green beans last year, I know how that feels. As for the squash and zucchini what do they look like? Vine borers can kill them from the inside, look online to see what the moth that is active during the day looks like. They are nasty boogers for sure. Good luck!!

Hi all, posing this question for a friend. He is looking at a Ruger PCC .40 cal and was wanting my opinion. I don't own one so am asking those that do. Thanks Mac

Good thing I didn't have a mouthful of coffee when I read 2nd place prize. That's funny right there I don't care who you are!! Was that the mixer for the shine??

If you haven't heard this song, give it a listen. Toby pretty much tells it like it is. THANK YOU to all service men and women who served and protected us while we were sleeping in our soft warm beds!!

Same to you Doug, and all the great folks on TGO

When I lived in Pascagoula, Ms. in the early 70's there was a black man that had a 55 gallon drum turned into a PIT MASTER!! On Friday's he would cook ribs and made what he called rib sandwiches, which is 2 pieces of white bread and about 4 ribs with the bone in stuck in the middle. He cooked at the back edge of a shopping center on a little side street. That was some lip smackin pig popsicles!! Fast forward to the early 90's and a customer's dad had a little BBQ place out in the sticks right next to his house and he had probably the best ribs. He was an older black man and me and him hit it off the bat talking about catching bluegills. He said the first thing to cooking good ribs is having a good rib, he said a #2 rib was his choice, the bone isn't too big. Makes my mouth water, when I cook my ribs tomorrow I will think of these gentlemen who were bbq masters!!

Sounds like most everyone is having pretty good success. I thought my pepper plants were going to die back when we had all that rain. I put some calcium nitrate around each one and I don't know if that is what helped or drying out did the trick. Picked 1st grape tomato Saturday, pulled carrots up and blanched them and put them in freezer and should pick yellow squash, zucchini and cabbage by end of this week. All my veggies in raised beds, potatoes, green beans, cucumbers. For those that haven't tried it a fall garden is sometimes more productive because the pests and diseases aren't as prevalent. I have been doing 2 plantings of green beans for 4 or 5 years. Plus the brassicas like cauliflower, broccoli, carrots all do well. Glad everyone is getting some nice tasty returns for your labor.

Has anyone wondered why you can now buy canning jars with lids and rings, but not the lids or rings separately?? Sort of like you can buy a lawnmower and when you need a sparkplug, sorry you have to buy another lawnmower.

About like the daily 2 or 3 calls wanting to extend my warranty on my car. The newest vehicle I own is a 2006 Buick Lucerne, I don't think they really want to warranty it!! Pretty much if you call me and your name isn't in my phone you better leave a message noting who you are or you get deleted.

Congrats Shaun. On the subject of turkeys I saw a program a few evenings ago and a lot of states are experiencing low turkey numbers and most say it is because of an abundance of predators. They say the low number of trappers trend with the lower number of turkeys. So get out there and trap or shoot some coyotes, bobcats,raccoons, opossums, crows. This guy had some film of a bobcat, coyote and hawk all attacking his decoy.

You are oh so right Photoguy, I will trade primers and powder or even give you some,but I refuse to buy from anyone that isn't a reloader. Well Beltfed, with enough ammo you can hold out for quite awhile. I have always said I will let the other guys stockpile gold and silver, I will outlast them with beans and bullets, I am 1100 feet from Dale Hollow lake with more water than I think I will ever need and the means to purify it. I would rather have a stockpile of lead!!

Dunham in Cookeville has rifle ammo and 209 primers. Primers were $7.99/100

If they will make me some primers, I got plenty of lead and brass!!

I think the problem this time may be getting skilled people that want to WORK!!

AuEagle that link didn't work. In a nutshell what did they say?

Notice they said assault rifles, who had the rifles assaulted??

You could also put up a DEAD END sign. Not the PC no outlet sign!!

Plus this last 18 months has seen a bunch of Democrat voters decide they needed and wanted a gun and they won't be voting for gun control, so the way I see it there are many more voters against crazy gun control laws and there are for it. Like Colion Noir puts it " I will not comply" . I think that should be the new slogan to every gun advocating person in the U.S.

And that my friends is just a sample. That is why nobody ever has and doubtful ever will land troops for a ground war on this Republic. They don't have the balls.

Hi guys just saw where the last shoot at Knob Creek will be this October. They claimed old age as a factor. This will be the 50th year.

Great news David, hope the progress continues. Nothing like being incapacitated.

Ding, ding, ding. Kahrman solved the joke!! Want another one? What do mermaids wash their fins in?

The ammo now worth more than dope!!
