When I was working, anytime I had a free moment in the morning before heading out to the job site, I would sharpen my axe. One morning, one of the new summer temps asked, "why are you aways sharpening that axe?" I didn't look up and just kept on sharpening as I said," a good axe murderer always...
@Lov2hunt, I think your taking offence where none was intended. People rarely open up to a complete stranger, in real life or on the internet. You got to take the time to get to know people and them to know you. You have a total of 60 posts in six years. that's an average of 10 posts a year and...
I wonder how many Hunt Talkers are guilty of this same crime. It is my understanding that Biden is the first person to be charged of this as a standalone crime. Everyone else charged was also charged with committing some other crime with the firearm. That may speak to motives for bringing...
I think that when a person spends hundreds of hours, often frustrating and sometimes painful, learning how and where to hunt, there is going to be a natural resentment towards anyone who wants to take the easy way out by piggybacking on all that hard work.
Trial and error is by far the best...

When my oldest daughter was taking hunters ed. I sat in on every class. The instructor, who was very famous and highly respected in the Oregon hunters ed program, Told the kids to never take a neck shot on an elk. He said you might miss the spine and just wound the animal. He was also very...
A lot of actors had or have property in in Sothern Oregon, Including John Wayne. Most of them kept quiet about it so they had a place to go to get away.
Someone close to me came to visit last week. He is going through a divorce and some other nasty legal stuff, and he just wanted to talk. He told me he was going to lease, with option to buy, a house on twenty acres that was basically a private museum once owned by Erro Flinn, now owned by his...
