    Mange squirrel on a FB nature group

    The comments are great. I've watched this group and commented very little. They seem to love coyotes and find them sacred. Then someone comes along and suggests shooting it and I make popcorn. This squirrel was identified with multiple ailments, but most seemed to concur it has mange. The...

    Kat's Kraft fan tour

    Anyone follow Beener at Kat's Kraft? He is at a brewery in Delaware today. My nephew is in town at my sister's in Lewis Center. Not sure if we can meet up or not. If he is available to hang with his favorite Aunt and Uncle, we suggested having Kat's Kraft today as it isn't far from my sister's...

    2 prong outlet changed to 3 prong

    I'm confident in taking the safe steps to change outlets. I can Google videos to confirm I am doing it right. Thinking "This old house" video is a safe source for education on he subject. Feeling like our resident electricians or home inspectors might be able to direct me a bit more though...

    Sheds from bucks you later killed

    Let's see them. I don't remember ever seeing a thread dedicated to this. Tonight I realized one of the three 8pt sides I found last year belonged to the buck I killed. I've done it twice now. That said, I put in some miles looking for sheds. And. . . Let's be real: there is a certain amount of...

    Can't figure this deer out

    This deer has been a regular. Big bodied. Appears to be losing weight. I don't see any visible injuries. I'm guessing he could be rut worn but have zero pics of him chasing. Pics about every day on this cam. Sometimes twice a day. Never trailing a doe. Always solo. We don't have many does on...

    Phil's season 2021/2022

    Don't expect much. My heart isn't in it. Just out four cameras out yesterday. I normally run them year round. I did pull 2 cameras that have been out since March. Trespasser might be the reason I didn't find a ton of sheds. That was back in March. Going to be interesting to see what the herd...

    2021-2022 Goals thread

    It is that time of year. With pleasure and honor, I am starting this thread. I think it might be just what I need to get my head in the game. We had EHD hit last year. Wasn't good. Haven't had any inkling of desire to think about deer. Haven't even put out a camera and we are over a week into...

    Battery terminal quick connects

    Never seen this before. Interesting concept. Sort of like quick hubs or seat release on bicycles. Might work on marine batteries where they are on/off often. Then again, marine batteries generally have two posts for such reason. Maybe in a car with slow drain? But, I think I'd rather find...

    Super duty rocker panels and cab corners

    Any of our welders here use adhesive? Maybe @Quantum673 in his auto renovation of the El Camino? @Buckmaster maybe? My cab corners and rocker panels for our F350 showed up. I'm impressed. They look better than I expected. Appears many of these seams are adhered and spot welded from the...

    Muddy Cams?

    Anyone have experience with Muddy Cams? Our local Stock and Field is closing. (Similar to Rural King). They had these marked down to 50% off then another 10% off that. I walked out with this three pack for $86. Debating if I should get more. Any experience? I mean, at under $30 a camera they are...

    Tag in ooos

    Tag in oops. Shout out to my local WO. I called him today. Got busy shooting the little doe last night,dealing with trespasser, etc. Got home and crashed. Got up today and started working. Sat down at dinner time "Oh crap! I forgot to call in my deer." Text the local WO to ask what to do. I...

    Phil's journal 2020

    Not sure what to expect this year. Covid, kid going to college, racing becoming a bigger priority. . .I haven't done much yet. Swapped 5 camera cards today. Well, four. I forgot to put a card in one. Another dislodged the batteries when I put it in the security box and resulted in zero...

    2020-2021 Season Goals thread

    With much honor and appreciation I am proud to begin this season's goals thread. I have minimal goals this year. Be safe. Thank God. Fill the freezer. I've put cameras out. Haven't checked them yet. I've shot once. I've glassed fields multiple times. I'm at a point where (maybe) I am maturing...

    Beckley WV Motorsports?

    Anyone close to Beckley? We will be racing there Saturday. Bringing 4 of our dirt track trucks. (I don't own them, just a sponsor.) Joining the locals which I believe is a 4cyl class. They also have a 40 lap feature with asphalt trucks coming in. We are racing both in the same night. Going to be...

    RV talk- owning or renting?

    Considering selling the fifth wheel for an RV. Anyone use one? I priced renting one. $150-200/day (or more). Seems $0.35/mile is what they charge over the 100 miles per day allowed. Generator they allow 4hrs and then charge for every hour beyond. So if we go to Yellowstone we are looking at 11...
