I’m going to brew a batch of IPA this week. Hope it turns out well.

You have some beautiful photographs on your site. Thanks for sharing them. best, dwc
Thank you David. After looking at your website and reading your biography,I feel honored. I know very little about cameras and photography in general. I just try to apply principles of composition to my shots and treat the photos as if they are drawings or paintings. Nature does the rest.
I’ve been spending more time lately taking photographs and making art. As a high school art teacher, I spend my days teaching and encouraging young people to express themselves visually in new, creative and intelligent means. After helping others make art all day it is easy to let your own art making take a back seat to other things. I’ve done just that. But, over the past six months, I’ve gotten back into nurturing my need to create by not only taking photos in the swamp, but by making abstract paintings based on the textures captured in my photographs. It’s been incredible.
I’ve also been doing some writing. But, that’s another post. 😀
in reply to: Off Season #56818I am blessed with a pretty big and partially wooded backyard. I stump shoot as a way to unwind when I get home from work. My hunting property is about 40 minutes away, so it is not difficult to get up there for a walk and some pine cone target practice. I also find shooting a great way to relax and have fun. Quite the Zen experience.
in reply to: Humidity in new shop (new bow pics added) #52891You will not regret the dehumidifier purchase. I needed one for my shop and I was amazed at the amount of water I dumped from the tank when I first used it.
in reply to: Trail cams #29580I have a Moultrie game cam that is approximately five years old. I paid $95.00 for it at the time. Cheap! I’ve never had a problem with it. It has out exceeded my expectations.
in reply to: Glove Question #28504Michael Scott wrote: Sometimes, though, depending on your hand size, shooting a glove can suck. I have big hands…many of the L and XL gloves you can buy at archery shops flat don’t fit. Or if they do, they pinch. Thinner leather can help with this problem, too. Just another thought.
I have extra large hands and finding the right fitting glove can be a problem. I don’t like tabs for the reason a buckyt stated. I want to feel the string. It helps me with proper release.
in reply to: Antler Hunting #27134I’ve found most of mine in thick areas where limbs might have knocked the antlers off. I believe that’s why they’re not easy to find. Most may be lost in bedding and thick areas.
I’ve also found them in planted pine forests many were just tips sticking out from layers of pine straw. Often woods rats and squirrels gnaw on them, but of course they do not consume them.
My experience here in southeast GA The bucks typically start dropping in February. But, as Etter stated, I’ve seen bucks with bone on their heads in late March.
Funny story… My taxidermist, Elliot, told me that a client placed a buck’s head on the shop’s counter he’d killed in late December. Elliot lifted the buck’s head by one antler as he’d done to other buck’s hundreds times before. As you’ve guessed the antler came off in his hand and the hunter recoiled in shock. Of course it was an easy fix when he mounted the head, but Elliot said the mishap took both of them by surprise and he had to reassure the hunter that no real harm had been done.:oops:

Yesterday I downloaded ‘Hunting with the Bow & Arrow’ by Saxton Pope for the modest price of $0.00 (from Amazon). That’s rather good value I’d say.
Jim.i did the same. There are tons of e books out there free.. many of the classics cost nothing. While I prefer turning pages and owning “real” books, I like the convenient portability of e books being contained in my smartphone and tablet.
This thread contains a great list of outdoor reading. My daughter gave me Jack London’s The Call of the Wild for Christmas. I haven’t read it since I was a kid. I’m looking forward to starting it.
in reply to: Your minimalist hunting camp! #25221I’ve done my share if minimal camping and still do when the situation calls for it. But since passing the half century mark, I do find myself preferring the comfort an actual tent and bed pad when backpacking or the luxury a blow up mattress affords when truck camping. 😀
in reply to: Anyone use a "possibles bag"? #24175I like carrying as little as possible when moving through the woods. I use a small backpack with a hydration bladder. It will hold my knife, compass, map, grunt tube, the essential tp, jerky or sandwich and any other small items. I hardly know its there when moving through the woods and it hangs conveniently from a limb when in a tree. Like others have written, if I take a large pack I will fill it with too many unnecessary items.
in reply to: Ancient canyon #15282Thanks feather. What an insight into an ancient culture.
in reply to: 1st Tradbow Harvest #9659Congratulations! I could feel the excitement reading your post!
in reply to: Great Quiver #9636I have the small quiver by Big Jim. I really like the way it holds tight to the bow. I plan to order another for my other bow. I order my arrows from him as well. Great guy to deal with.
in reply to: Went primitive today #9613Tailfeather, I know that if anyone can get the job done, it’s you. Good luck brother.
