I actually got drawn for a sandhill crane tag here in TN. Now I just need to figure out where to go hunt them.

Welcome

I have a problem. I love going to auctions. I will bid on anything if it is going really cheap. Because of that I end up with some stuff I have no business buying. The following is an example. I have two lots of Nascar collectibles. They are not really old stuff so I do not think there is much value yet. What I would like to do is find somebody that has kids or grandkids that would actually play with cars. So if you have kids or grandkids that will play with these cars then you can have one of the two lots for free. These would make for some nice Christmas presents. The first person to respond can have their choice of the two lots and the second can have what's left. You will need to pick these up in Brentwood or Bellevue.

I just got back from a three day hunt in Canyon Texas for Sandhill Cranes. I bought this hunt at our local chapters SCI banquet. This was my first time hunting cranes and it was a blast. They call sandhill cranes the flying ribeye of the sky. I had heard so much about how great they are to eat that I was worried that it would not live up to hype. Our outfitter grilled us some breasts one night and let me say that it does live up to the hype. If you did not know you were eating crane you would think it was steak. We also had some spectacular sunrises and sunsets. I used Diamond Wing Outfitters. They were great. Worked hard to make sure we had opportunities to kill cranes. The limit is three per day. We had four hunters in our group. The first day we saw thousands of cranes but only killed 3. The second day we got 9 but should have limited out. They are a tough bird to bring down unless you get a clean head shot. The third day we got our limit. One afternoon we also got some duck hunting in. All in all it was a great trip. https://www.diamondwingoutfitters.com

I used to work for Tractor Supply Company. For those not familiar with TSC it like a nicer Co-op. In the cattle section we had a display of our cattle prods on the wall. The farmers liked to see how strong the electrical arc was so we always kept fresh batteries in them. One quiet Sunday morning a young couple came. The woman wanted to look at some horse tack. I showed her where it was and started some other task. A couple of minutes later I hear a blood curdling scream and a G**DAMNIT JAMES!!!!! It really echoed through the store. I turn around and see James dying laughing while holding our strongest cattle prod and his wife rubbing her butt. If looks could kill I would have to call the cops. I have never seen a woman so mad. It was really hard not to start laughing along with James.

That's nice

I love 41’s but with the price difference I would buy the Ruger.

I just recently picked up a Kimber 84 in 6.5. Going to put a Vortex on it and then get it sighted in.

Keep your eye out for a USFA. They do a very nice polished blue.

Couldn't wait for Thursday so I cooked a turkey breast last night.

If money is not an issue look for an older Sako rifle like a L-46 or something similar. The '50s and '60s Sako rifles in .22 hornet are some of the best out there.

I didn’t see anything this morning.

Congrats! That is a helluva buck.

We have a lot of acorns south on Nashville.

Welcome

I missed a small buck on opening day of muzzleloader and have not been out since. I am going to hunt sometime this weekend when it is not raining. Hopefully the deer will be moving.

Very cool piece of history. Congrats.

I use Royal Range in Bellevue.

The Willet Pot is the only one you can find with any regularity.

I have sold quite a few guns on Gunbroker. I have used both a FFL and FedEx for shipping. The FFL has been cheaper for me. FedEx requires overnight or 2nd day shipping which is not cheap. My local FFL usually tries to just charge me their shipping cost. It is usually about 1/3 of the cost of FedEx. I always add on the cost of a transfer to the shipping cost to be fair to my FFL and it is still cheaper than FedEx.

It is hard to find so unfortunately I paid $152.

This was my favorite bottle of Willet.

I am a huge Willet fan. Love every version of theirs I have had. It can definitely be hard to find.
