Being near them is great. Joining properties might even be tolerable under perfect circumstances. I assure you that you don't want your name on a property deed with anyone in your family, or your wife's family, with the exception of her.   You obviously haven't been married long. I'm trying to save you a whole lot of future headache here.   You will NOT get along with family or especially in laws if you have financial dealings together.

....at least I hope it ended well. She was found; is everything o.k.?

Prayers do get answered.

Bad idea! Buying land and building your house is a great idea. Including your brother in law in the deal; BAD IDEA!!!

You'll need to point that rifle up when turning around in the woods. :stunned:

The deer have to be somewhere. Hot and windy aren't my personal preferences for hunting, but you certainly won't get one if you don't go. I'd look for a cedar thicket to watch, or perhaps do a bit of stalking/hunting if I were going.

Wow! My heart sank when I read this. As others have said, you and your family will be in our thoughts and prayers. We're here if you need anything.

No, and no. I guess the first no has a lot to do with the second no.   I can't stay warm in the wind, and what little I've hunted in it proved unproductive.   You can't hear anything, it is uncomfortable, and the few deer I've seen in the wind were very wary; more so than usual.

Which ever on sounds cool to you. They'll both work well.

How 'bout that! I lucked into buying the right one! Thanks for the heads up.

I like that waaaaaaay better than what you traded for it!

I hope you guys at D&T Arms had the forethought to stock a bunch of accessories, build kits, barrels, Furniture, etc.

Thanks for letting us know. I'll try to swing by in a day or two.

I may have spent more than you guys did. :shrug:

Man, they ship fast too! Also included in my order was a free Bravo Company "Combat Effective" mouse pad. :up:

What did that deer weigh, Shaun? It looks like a great biggun!

I understand they will be able to hunt in Tennessee as long as they live regardless of residence. You may want to double check me on that, however.

SEC=NFL's farm system   ACC=cut rate college football

Grilled Backstrap   Backstrap sliced Bacon 1 Stick of Butter 1 Bottle of Dale's Sauce   Melt butter, and add enough Dale's sauce to cover meat. Wrap meat with bacon, and secure with toothpicks. Marinade for about 4 hours in refrigerator. Grill to medium rare. (Do not overcook!)

Soy sauce Teriyaki sauce Worcestershire sauce Black Pepper Crushed red pepper Garlic powder Onion Powder   (Do not wash, rinse, etc. the meat. You want it dry so that it will soak up the marinade. Wet rinsed meat won't  take the marinade well and will taste bland.You also do not need to add any salt, as there is plenty of it in the sauces.)   You'll need to play with the amounts of these ingredients, but don't be stingy with any of them. The longer you marinade your jerky, the stronger the flavor. In my dehydrator, it takes 6 hours to dry thin meat, and 8 hours for thicker cuts. It's done when it breaks like a green stick.

Deer Roast   1 Roast (4-6 Steaks works great as well) Season Salt Garlic Salt Worcestershire Sauce Soy Sauce 1 Can -Cream of Mushroom Soup 1 Pack -Dry Onion Soup Mix 1 Medium Onion     Cut roast into serving size pieces and place in crock pot. Sprinkle generously with season salt, garlic salt, Worcestershire sauce, and soy sauce. Put in cream of mushroom soup and dry onion soup mix, and sir all ingredients and roast together. Slice onion and place rings on top. Put on lid and cook in crock pot 6-8 hours on low.

Once your son reaches 10 years of age, he is required by the state of Tennessee to attend and pass a hunter safety course before he can hunt by himself. Before 10, you have to be in position to take immediate possession of his firearm. After 10, you will still need to accompany him on the juvenile hunt, but not in any other hunting season.   The hunter safety course is a good thing for anyone.   Both my boys have a lifetime license, and my oldest son is probably already in the black with his. It was only $100 when he was born. The price rose to $200 when my second son came along. I still consider that a bargain.   You are doing him a huge favor buying this, and the time will fly by. You'll be hunting together before you know it.

I've never fired a Garand, but I believe I'd prefer my bullets pointing forward. :rofl:

Deer sausage, gravy, and biscuits, and snacking on jerky this afternoon makes the work all worthwhile. :yum:

TDR,   If you ever find yourself in Macon county, I'd be more than happy to show you what little I know about reloading. I have 223 dies. Bring brass and I'll walk you through the process. We can even fire them here if you'd like.
