    First big game of the year

    Sorry for no pictures, but my camera is an 8 megapix and I haven't learned how to reduce to few enough I could download. I tried to download, but the pics are just to big.:Wow1:

    If you fish, you need to read this ASAP

    http://www.whitehouse.gov/administration/eop/ceq/initiatives/oceans/ Here's a place to start with what you want, believe, wish for, etc. Sorry for my anger. I guess I'm just getting senile:drool: when it comes to D.C. politics. Enough said on my part. My comments will go to the whitehouse...

    If you fish, you need to read this ASAP

    By the time the "new regime" is done, we will all live in "Chicagos" with no future; no place to roam; no outdoors; no hope...only taxes to make us all financial "equals". Sad future for my grand children. Just like the last Democrat who shut off the Grand Escalante to virtually everyone...

    First big game of the year

    Antelope tastes very much like deer. The key to good meat is take an animal which hasn't been running a lot, thus doesn't have a high lactic acid build up in it's muscles. Clean and skin asap so it can cool quickly. I hear a lot of people do not like antelope nor deer because of the "gamy"...

    First big game of the year

    Went antelope hunting in North Park, CO last weekend for opener. Friday there were several small herds we could see from camp with a nice buck walking within 50 yards. Opening morning, they were all gone. Finally about 10:00 I had been stalking a youngish buck for 45 minutes when a doe showed...

    Any recommendations on sxs?

    Fly Fishing: My first fish

    Welcome to the flyfishing world!:wings: Been flyfishing since about 1960. Tied my own until a few years back when my eyesight began failing for close in (even with 2.5x glasses). Used to we used big flies on trout, ie, #8-12. Now everyone uses #18-24 flies. Yikes! I cannot even see them...

    Crimson Trace experiences/recomendations

    I wouldn't stake my life on anything using a battery. Learn to use the hard sights and if you must have a laser, use it only to learn to point. I'll guarantee you when you need it the batteries will go if they aren't already dead. All that said, they are excellent to learn where you are...

    New Kayak

    Ultimate 14.5 Great choice! Especially for fishing. I spent this winter in FL and used a couple of kayak flyfishing guides who use them. They loved them as well. I just ordered an Ultimate 12 Tegris. Much lighter at 29lbs without the seat for my old shoulders to hoist on top of my truck...

    Jimmy Buffets SMB

    Had the opportunity in, I believe it was about 1967, in the student center of East Texas State University to hear and chat with Buffet. He was a nice guy to chat with back then. Good tunes even then.

    Scope for a .22 LR ???

    Scope recommendations. Look for one with an adjustable objective (AO). It will help with the parallax. Most scopes designed for high power rifles that do not have AO have a fixed parallax for I believe 150 yards. If you get an AO, you can be more accurate at closer ranges. If you need more...

    Looking to buy 30-06

    So when can we come finish off all that delicious young bull? It sounds great! And apparently your wife is an outstanding cook! My old 30-06 (1952 Win Model 70) has taken a number of elk from cows to 5x5 bulls (220+lbs of pure red meat hauled out close to 5 miles) and if you do your part, the...

    '99 F250 SD 7.3 TD repair

    Thanks guys! I was just wondering what to expect next. It sounds like I am pretty much on track for at least 200,000 miles. I have a rather light Lance camper (2000 lbs) I have hauled pretty much all over. I had a 29' Hitchhiker II I hauled for a few trips around the states, but got rid of...

    '99 F250 SD 7.3 TD repair

    I cannot find any thread dealing with this, but I thought it might be important for those owners of F250s. I had to complete the following major repairs at these approximate mileages. 30,000 down tube gasket leak (may be leaking again) 100,000 new rear brake pads 100,000 new injectors (not...

    Noise behind glove box problem

    FYI, I finally found the cause of the noise. It started and stayed on all the time. It was the inside or outside vent. Apparently the gears are stripped that open and close the vent. It is located above the blower motor on the passenger side below the glove box. What I did was to remove...
