Since it's a slow time of the year hunting/shooting, I thought I would post some pictures I've been fortunate to take of nature. Hope you don't mind me posting them. This young Robin flew down from it's nest a couple days ago and landed on the railing of my deck. It didn't mind me getting close for ...

I use Easy Share. After I down load from my camera and view the pictures in the easy share program, I right click on the pictures I want and "save as" to my desk top. Then I go to photobucket and when I go browse I go to my desk top and select the picture. There may be a better way but thi...

Glen, Tell her congratulations on her grounghog, Do everything you can to make her hunting experiences fun and enjoyable. My wife is planning on going squirrel and deer hunting with me this fall and I don't care if she does out shoot me, it will be worth it to have her along with me doing the thing...

brokeasajoke, You can get a 5 day Non-resident license for $28.75. You may want to check out the IDNR site (http://dnr.state.il.us/admin/systems/Digest/Digest.pdf) on page 4 to be sure. Even thought our crops around here are just now getting planted due to the wet weather, the fields will be tall e...

My new Nail Gun, made by Dewalt. It can drive a 6-D nail thru a 2 X 4 at 200 yards. This makes construction a real breeze. You can sit in your lawn chair and build a fence. Just get the wife and kids to hold the fence boards in place while you sit back, relax with a cold beer. When they have the boa...

Rick,

Sorry to hear of your situation. Hope you're feeling better and on your way to a speedy recovery. I haven' been ckecking the board for a while with getting my youngest son graduated from High shool and all the graduation parties (16 of them).

Get well soon, I miss your posts!

Glenn,

Darrell and I are the ones that talked to the Speer guy and that's when he pulled out his pad and asked what kind of bullet we would like to see them produce.

As Glenn said, It's was a Great show. Friday morning I got up at 2:00 am and went to meet my friend Darrell at his house. We left there at 3:30 and headed for Louisville. We arrived at the show right at 10:am. We were going to meet Glenn on the way in, but got caught up in the heavy traffic and miss...

SQ,

Isn't it great shooting those little fellers! Now your world has changed for sure.
Glad you had a good trip.

lakoda, I don't know what your cleaning procedure is but on my CZ Varmint I've noticed that when I start loosing accuracy, I have to give it a good cleaning. Last weekend I was shooting my Savage 12VLP and all of a sudden I was throwing 3 and 4 inch flyer's at 200 yards. I gave it a good cleaning a...

SQ, My son and I are also heading out this Thursday evening when he gets off work only we're starting out turkey hunting Friday morning and then finish up shooting prairie dogs the rest of the weekend if everything works out the way we are hoping. We're going to be north of Grand Island aways. What ...

We had an older Wal-mart in Carlinville and it was an OK store. Like Glenn said, after Sam died, Wal-Mart changed. They just built a small super store that opened last year and I don't go there any more than I have to. Not many people in the community like it. Carlinville has a town square and there...

Rick,

Thanks for sharing your hunt and the pictures too! Looks like your new gun is a keeper.

Thanks for sharing, I always like reading your post.

Three friends and I are planning on being there on Friday. If you've never been to one and have the opportunity to go, it's worth the trip. Not only do you get to see all the new toys like Glenn mentioned, but you get to talk to the writers and editors of your favorite magazines. Last year I got to ...

bullfrog,

We have 5 back to back seasons here in IL. You have to apply for which season you want (and hope to get) in a lottery. You can get up to 2 permits. I had first season, Lucas has 2nd season (now), my wife has 3rd season and Lucas and I both have 5th season.
