I will take my usual #34

I hunt both from a ground blind and a tree stand. Definitely have more luck from the tree stand.

Hold on now, don't be so hasty...

Field and Stream magazine has been around since 1895. I had no idea they were owned by or affiliated with a Dicks.

Nice knife. I like that blade profile.

Very nice!

What were you catching and on what?

Drinking early this morning?

Put up a new stand yesterday to bow hunt from. I am ready for opening morning.

If I remember correctly, he was stationed in TN during some of his military career.

The NFL is not requiring payment for these tributes. The military is paying the NFL for advertising. They have chosen that these tributes as the type of advertising campaign they want to run. Make no mistake, this is just the military advertising itself in the most effective way it sees possible.

Check out Ozark coolers. They are Yeti clones. The Ozark tumblers faired better than Yeti in side by side comparisons. Their 52qt is $147 and 73qt is $194.

He is in Cleveland not Belle Meade...

Well she is correct, he is a national treasure.

One of the greats. He will be missed.

You are correct that in the past the antler had to be at least three inches to be considered an antlered deer. Since the doe harvest is very liberal, i wonder if to many young bucks were being shot. This should not really affect meat hunters. Really, how many bucks have you shot that the antler was past the hair line but under three inches. Not many I am guessing. Plus, if you hunt all seasons you can take something like 300+ does in unit L. If you have already harvested your two bucks then you simply don't shoot if you can't politely identify whether it is a buck or doe. I really don't think that this will turn out to be a big deal.

Iron Man does not need a knife. EDIT: - hey, no fair. You corrected your mistake.

Isn't that kinda like you always find what you are looking for in the last place you look...

That is the best. I love fishing for whites when they are running.

yeah but do you have splinters in your arms? You know, from hugging all those trees...

Is a flare gun considered a firearm? Would it be legal to carry a flare gun loaded with a flare? I am not planning on doing this. My dad found one of our flare guns that we used to have on a boat we fished from. We got tp talking about it and were just wondering.

Not sure. just saw it mentioned in the article.
