There is over $2.25 million worth of future Pine harvest revenue so that only leaves another $6mill to come up with

PCA in Counce is definitely still rolling but the International Paper mill in Cortland AL is closed. IP owned a lot of this land.

My first carry gun was a Kimber 4.25”. I love that gun. Got a great quality leather holster. Only down side was even with a good gun-specific belt it would damn near pull my britches off. Even though that made all the ladies swoon, it was less than desirable. Never cared for the first second about carry wear on the weapon.

Tier One Tactics is owned and operated by a very longtime personal friend. He’s worked local law enforcement, DEA, and US Air Marshall’s.

I'll be in Cleveland Friday Nov 22 for a meeting. If we could coordinate where it wouldn't be terribly inconvenient for me, I'd be glad to mule them back to Knoxville. I'll be at the USFS Forest Supervisor's Office, 2800 Ocoee St. N, Cleveland, TN 37312 from 10am-2pm approximately. So if you can arrange to meet prior to or just after my meeting just let me know

Yep as hughd quoted those are most likley Shellbark

If going off trail is his MO then he needs to learn to read a TOPO map and compass. Its not hard

You're not going to hinder the fruit production of the trees by removing some mid story competing trees. I'm back in Knoxville now, maybe one day before the leaves all drop I can come out and we can look at what's in the stand and some steps you can take to clear around them.

use them in place of anything you would traditionally use a banana foe, ie banana bread

I like his perspective at least. I agree that many people by 25 have been afforded very few opportunities to chose or even discern right from wrong. I'm sure the guy knew it was wrong to break into 14 homes (probably many more) but when faced with desperation people often chose wrong. I like that he was aimed and ready yet made verbal contact with the intruder, he was ready to defend his home but gave an option. If someone breaks into my home and we have the choice for them to leave vs a gunshot scene in my living room, I sure hope they leave. I'm not too shortsighted to see that there is risk in this approach and if my kids or wife are home it changes the scenario for sure. I'd love to see a video of Sturgill visiting this guy in prison. We can all sit and talk about what could or should be done, but actually doing something to make a positive impact in someones life is a massive difference.

I was referring specifically to after dark

The biggest reason people get lost for long periods is often they walk in circles and don't know it. Beaman park isn't big enough to be lost for more than one day. I can see getting dark and loosing your bearings but when daylight rises you should walk outta there. Any cardinal direction would put you at a home or road within a few hours of steady pace. Now its heavily wooded and can seem intimidating to just bushwhack straight cardinal direction but that's what needed to be done to get out. The biggest fault is what you perceive is "north" even after looking at a compass can be deceiving when you have ridges and valleys and creeks. You have to pick a spot in the distance go to that spot and then use the compass again to pick a new spot. I often wonder how folks get off trail so easily. Pay attention and if the trail goes faint, turn around and retrace your steps. This is akin to being situationally aware for safety at Walmart. You can't day dream and know where you are in the woods.

We've been dealing with these issues for years in knox county. many neighborhood pets been taken. There are rules about hunting within certain distances of homes, so that may limit your ability to shoot them. Of course you can shoot, shovel and STFU. Have you talked to TWRA? What part of the county do you live in? Coyote hunting his open year round with no limit. You can hunt at night but cannot use predator calls or center fire ammunition. So you can used a shotgun or 22mag if you can locate them

This bottle is really nice. Just picked one up 2 weeks ago and find it really tasty!

I’m not sure how this would work with current NFA legislation. It’s different than other guns cause they do have a list of who owns them and where you live. Can’t lose them in a boating accident

Mmm plays video on my end. Not sure what’s up with that

Only negative about an OTF is that if the blade hits an obstruction it won’t fully deploy. Not an issue for most uses but if self defense is in mind, something to consider

It’s what I would describe as moderate. Enough to prevent accidental deployment but easy enough to not be a pain. I had a microtech ultratech and it was very hard to deploy in both directions. So much that under distress I’m not sure I could confidently say I could get it out. This one definitely lighter but the button still needs to be slid all the way for the blade to deploy. I carry it confidently in the same pocket as my phone. F95B4428-B656-422D-A4E9-803B53EC85FA.MOV

Yeah for sure. Lots of great knives a prices that would get me divorced quickly

So I lost my small Protech strider pocket knife and although I loved that knife I wanted to try something different. I’ve owned a microtech in the past and was pleased so started browsing The Hollow Grind YouTube reviews to see what was new or intriguing and came across this Heretic Manticore S. It’s a small smooth body aluminum OTF dagger point. I’ve only had it for about 2 hours but already very happy. Action is easy and smooth but not too easy to work about pocket carry. Great oversized pocket clip with deep carry and glass breaker on the end. Knife is sharp but not Protech-sharp. Just wanted to show it off 39969F24-CE92-4FDD-9F9D-A0EBA7CE6375.MOV

For some reason, I was under the impression it was illegal to shoot those. I know Albino deer are illegal, maybe just assumed on the turkey side was the same

yeah, I can see that. I would buy one at retail without batting an eye. I love the flavor and mouthfeel, Its excellent. Let me know if you're ever interested in doing some sample swaps. I'd trade a good dram for a couple oz of that

Man, that 4R 130 and Glendronach 18 have me drooling. Did you find the 4R at retail?

Haha, indeed. But corrected anyway

So life has been crazy busy this last year with my wife starting her fellowship at Vanderbilt Medical Center and the birth of our first child. What a wirlwind, so I have t been near as active here, but through all that my wife passed her board certification and is now a Board Certified Pathologist. She interviewed and has a contract with a physician group in Knoxville. Those of you that know me know we lived in Knoxville for many years, and as we have loved the past few years in Nashville we are excited to be heading back. We have a contract pending on our house here and currently searching on Knoxville. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers as we embark on yet another adventure and look forward to being an East Tennesean again.
