I name all sorts of things but never thunked much of naming my bow! I only have two bows, one a Bear Grizzly I’ve unimaginatively called Fred and a longbow. Henceforth, they will be Fatty and Skinny!

I walk miles of utility line right of ways every week, so that keeps me from being a hog from all the unnecessary calories I consume. I try to do 100 push ups a day too but get lazy sometimes.

I believe it’s a dying skill. With success equal to a carcass for many it’s a low odds gig for all but the virtuoso, at least for eastern whitetails which are all I’ m familiar with. I’ve had good things happen while still hunting, but tend to get peeved when I make noise, which I know can be managed and does not always spook game, but nonetheless I’m less likely to be peeved sitting motionless in a likely spot:wink:

Those were worth seeing and posting. Now I gotta Google Moscow Mule and see what that’s about:wink:

Dave – that’s a meaty reply a guy can appreciate! I would likely have learned all that by trial and error. If it was warm enough around here I’ d just roll in mud and leaves and keep it real simple!

The camo effect looks fantastic! Will it be ready for the fall?

I stick to the target in the yard. I’ll fling a few during hunting season in the woods to stay sharp, but I’ve lost enough arrows under the duff or they go skipping off somewhere I personally don’t stump much.

Now that was a good day! Amazing how much computing power there is, and is not, in that bumpy little top knot. Have fun!

Am On Call 24/7 for a large Mi. utility. They got me good last night with some wind damage issues. Not worth much today. On the “re-charger” (couch) hoping to be left alone tonight.

It’ s as much fun to run across a huge buck rub and just know they are there. There are fewer and fewer common ” touchstones” anymore that transcend time. What a privledge to walk among these beings more an equal than a dominator.

That’s too bad. The ” Outdoors Industrial Complex” at it again. It embarrasses me what passes for hunting anymore. If this is our future heritage, screw it, I’m not passing it on.
