      I’m with Richard on this one.  The cost of a dowel is not worth risking a skewered wrist to me.

        When I was in high school a friend had an old car that was his hunting, fishing, everything transportation.  I was riding in the back seat on one trip and noticed the carpet under my feet was moving.  I lifted the edge of the carpet and watched the road going by below me through a fairly sizeable hole.  We cut a piece of tin and formed it with hammers to fit the floor pan and lessen the chance of someone doing a Fred Flintstone braking maneuver.

        I don’t have a garden but with all the rain my apple trees are doing better this year than they ever have.  My oldest daughter is waiting for them to ripen so she can make pies.

          I hope everyone had a safe and fun 4th.  We shot some fireworks and then at 9pm sat on the porch and watched a downpour for an hour.  The city postponed their fireworks show until this evening.

            Good looking deer.  The bucks I have seen don’t have half that much antler growth yet.

              No need to open the thread and scroll down Raymond.  Just go over to the right side and click on the date above the last poster’s name.  It will take you to the last post.

                I’ll have to find a copy of it.  I’m always looking for a good historical read.

                  I would like to bowhunt Nilgai down there some day.  They are very skittish.

                    One of the animals you can see running wild on the ranches is the Nilgai, a large Asian antelope.

                    A few of the rattlesnake skins decorating the radio HQ ceiling.  These were caught in camp over the years.  The longest one is right at 6′ long.

                    Some fresh trespasser tracks on the ranch.  My #10 boot for reference.

                      A couple of scenery shots.  Lots of sand, Mesquite, and Live Oak trees.

                      One of the team members brought this.  1952 Willys Jeep.  It was a fun ride on the ranches.

                      The instrument cluster reminded me of the 1979 CJ5 I owned.

                        Wow.  That would leave me completely out of hunting.  I have a 60# Great Northern Bushbow that I can’t even string anymore because the Moderna Covid vaccine screwed up my muscles.  I used to shoot up to 72# draw but 85# would still be too much back then.

                          I just got home from south Texas and am now watching my yard turn into a pond.  Lots of rain today and they say two more days of it is coming.

                          I joined a group a few years ago called Texas Border Volunteers.  We set up on the ranches at observation posts and report to the border patrol and Department of Public Safety of any illegal immigrant traffic.  There is a lot of traffic and the ranch owners are tired of the trespassers and the damage they do.

                          I try to make the trip at least once a year and it’s nice to see the volunteers again.  I’ll post a couple of scenery pictures when I get stuff unpacked and stored away….If I don’t float away with all this rain.

                            There’s only a couple of places around here that shoot 3D but none are trad.  I’ve shot at them but waiting for a group of compounders look at the target with binoculars, check their range finders, set their sights, double check with binoculars and range finders is worse than watching grass grow.  Multiply all that with five or six guys in the group and you can set up camp and cook supper.

                            I do like the sneers we can get when we walk up to the stake, draw, and shoot and still beat some of them.

                              A hog hunt sounds good.  We aren’t allowed (legally) to hunt them here in Kansas.

                                My daughter had a BBQ for my birthday on the 2nd and I took a few bows for the ‘yard darts’ fun.

                                I’m the old pf*rt.

                                With my son-in-law

                                I’ve been chasing arrows for 58 years now and making bows for 20.

                                  I’m shooting the picture at about a 30* angle to her.  Follow the line on the gym floor.  She’s shooting straight across the gym.

                                  The set up is two kids shoot at the same target with different color fletch.  The girl behind her is shooting at the same target.
