    Help me with some orchard questions please....

    So we have a 5 acre spot in Adams county that has a pole barn on a couple of mowed acres, and the rest is growing CRP and hardwoods. I'm going to park Kevin's camper there under a canopy (to keep the weather off of it) and put in a fire ring, and have a place to camp and bring the grandkids and...

    Soft toppers?

    My son in law just bought a Nissan Frontier and is now in the truck world, upgrading from his venerable Subaru. (As he was showing it off, I asked him if the dealer had called to schedule him for his fitting - he said "Fitting? For what?" and I says "For testicles, now that you have a...

    Here's an interesting point of view to consider...

    If only battery tech were better If only the power grid could sustain If only firemen could douse the flames I'd never really thought about it this way...

    Cabelas 15'' Jerky Blaster - the good and the bad

    So my son bought me one of these for Christmas a couple years ago - it's been sitting on the shelf in the basement waiting for me to make jerky. Today was the day - I mixed up 3.5# of ground venison with some cure and seasoning and put it in the fridge for 4+ hours. Then I got the blaster out...

    Looking for some suggestions of places to visit in E/NE OH - promised the wife I'd get her away for a long weekend - Timeline is to leave on a Thursday late afternoon and return on Monday afternoon/evening. Two spots we're keyed in on - a museum (Ric suggested) in Dover, and taking her for a...

    Spring Valley Shooting Range - thumbs up 👍

    Started using SV range a couple of weeks ago. I'm very impressed with the facility, and I'm happy to say that this seems like something the state government got right! What a value, 1 day for $5, year for $24, or combine a year along with your hunting license for a total of $29.12. I like the...

    Magnetic Gun Mount

    I bought this at a gun show a couple or three or so years ago, finally got around to installing it. Easy install, works great. Easy grab. Tight hold.

    Looking for experience/opinions about Nissan

    So my SIL is looking for a truck and asked me what I thought about a Nissan Frontier. I have zero experience with Nissan, so I'm throwing it out here. FYI this is what the AI Overview says: While the 2025 Nissan Frontier has a "Great" reliability rating, slightly higher than the 2025 Toyota...

    Venison Sauerbraten (or bear if you want)

    So I'm a member of USSA and get their magazine - back page had this recipe - looked good, so I thought I'd try it. Calls for a 3 pound venison roast. I've learned that if you want to slap a piece of meat on the grill and cook it rare, use venison or beef. Bear, not so much - you have to cook...

    Porkfest 2025 - Butchering with Doug

    So I was talking to Doug @Hedgelj at a TOO event, and he told me that he and some friends butcher hogs at the end of January. Told him I'd like to learn that, asked if I could come and watch, and we made it happen. It's normally about a week-long event, takes place at his friend's farm, and...

    First day of Retirement

    Well, December 31st was my last day of work - I'm now officially retired. Stayed up to watch the ball drop last night, then went to bed - my Fitbit watch showed I slept almost 7 hrs with a sleep score of 82 (good). Anytime I'm in the 80's it's good. Went to the grocery, then the grandkidsTO...

    Sunday was a good day

    This spot is called "The Hole in the Fence" Basically the view is from the top of a ladder stand that puts you at eye level with the 8 ft wide trail next to the fence you see there. It's an all or nothing spot - they will come from the right or the left and you gotta stop them and shoot them...

    Breaking down a deer in 8 minutes

    I watch this video every year just for fun. This guy is like an autistic savant with a boning knife, a Rainman of righteous processing. I love the way he weilds that meathook. Funny, when I went to post this, I saw Doug had posted the video I want to watch next. I guess great minds do think...

    People do crazy stuff because of deer....

    It appears to me that deer and all things deer related can cause peole to do crazy shit. I've seen pictures of a guy dry-humping a dead deer. Obviously a joke, but was it? What happened after the picture? Guys argue over deer. Fisticuffs over territory. Sabotage. Guys lie to their spouses...
