Yes! Excellent way to access waters that shore-bound and motor boat anglers cannot. Good for float trips and camping. Cheers, Mark

Those are some really good pics.....for a hoser! Glad to see you and the sprogs thriving. Cheers, Mark

Damn,that sounds good! I will definately try that recipe out this week.

Congratulations! Get a camera too.

Wood pigeon are a relative to our dove. This is the traditional way we do dove round our parts. A previous post in this forum: jalepeno, cheese, onion, bacon wrapped dove Night before last I used this recipe: dove in madeira sauce A bit labor intensive but unbelievably good! I used 1/2 the recommended amount of butter. The second half of our split dove season has just started and I hope to get a few more. Cheers, Mark

Hope your new rifle shoots as good as it looks! Can you get a matching bayonet?

Those are very nice pics. Enjoy these innocent times while you can. Before you know it you're standing around a campfire with your little angel, drinking beers and discussing the best method to gut a deer. Cheers, Mark

Thanks for everyone's kind comments. I very much enjoy reading your accounts of deer hunts and seeing the pics. Corn feeder used to bait them in for selective/humane harvest. Illegal in some areas of TX and other states. We stuff a 20lb bag of ice in the body cavity and wrap'em in a tarp until we get to the processor. A couple things: 1. This hunt was more about management and meat than sporting. We've got a lot of deer here. The farmer down the road has two miles of deer fencing to keep them out of his wheat and cotton. My annual hunting/fishing license ($68) allows

A lot of those old military rifles are really a nice piece of history. You hold it and wonder about where it's been and about the soldier using it to defend your country. What are you going to use it for? Post a pic for us. Cheers, Mark
