re: Family Vacation Anywhere?

Posted by McDaddy on 5/19/22 at 2:40 pm
Wife and kids are heavily in favor of the St. John trip so that's what I'm looking into now. I'd like to avoid the crowds as best I can, which I am thinking means I need to get a rental to travel between stores, restaurants, beaches, etc. Any benefit to going with a travel agent? Never used one fo...

Three ideas are sounding pretty good: Lake Tahoe/Yosemite--is a week enough time for this? Las Vegas/Grand Canyon--is Vegas kid friendly? Thinking we would stay there a few days and spend a few days exploring the Grand Canyon area. Not sure how many days to allot for Grand Canyon. Never bee...

Lake Tahoe is an interesting idea, never been there. Anything else within driving distance? I've got 7 free rental days with National so could use them for the trip. Again, budget is $10-15K but I'm not opposed to spending less :lol:...

Family Vacation Anywhere?

Seeking vacation ideas. Wife and kids love Destin/Orange Beach/PCB but I'd like to splurge a bit on something different this year. Targeting late June but timeframe is somewhat flexible. Budget of $10-$15K, wife and kids (14, 16) are unvaxxed, kids do not have passports. We've traveled to most ...

Thanks. Shot a doe at 6:30, trying to do a little thinning and I've never killed one when it was snowing. Snow already gone when I took the picture. [IMG]http://i1292.photobucket.com/albums/b566/mikepammc/D013C4AC-1386-4E0B-AB37-C546B4CCAA12_zpsnmztfp8s.jpeg[/IMG]...

Claiborne Parish 41 degrees and calm Box stand, 3 lanes between 40 acres of white oaks, cutover, and red oaks. Wall hanger or large nanny today I think. Had a few younger bucks chasing the past few days so maybe this cold weather will get the big ones moving. Good luck everybody. ...

Oldest daughter finally got her first, young 7 point. Meant a lot to both of us because I’ve hunted on this stand since the 80s when I was a teenager. Didn’t think she’d ever shoot—surprised the deer couldn’t hear her hyperventilating. [img][URL=http://s1292.photobucket.com/user/mikepammc/medi...

Best method for yellowjacket removal

Posted by McDaddy on 10/13/17 at 9:30 pm
Went out to check all my stands yesterday. I have a box stand that is always full of wasps so I did my usual check--kicked the stand at the bottom to see how many came out. As I was looking up, I heard a buzzing at my feet and yellowjackets (or possibly bees) were swarming out of the ground. Not...

Been lurking this thread and ordered some off of Amazon. Boiled 90 lbs last night, 45 lbs for each boil. That's about the max I can do in my 120 qt pot. First boil--1 3/4 bags Chackbay, 1 1/2 boxes salt, 1/2 cup cayenne, 20 oz liquid boil, cup orange juice, cup lemon juice. These had good flav...
