I don’t want it to be like this, but I think I am too

I'm not quite there yet, but I'm in a very enjoyable stage. My son and daughter love to shoot and I love to be with them. More than happy for them to pull the trigger on everything. Won't be long until they graduate and then who knows where they'll be. or what stage I'll be in then. Would imagine I'd shoot a deer for the freezer and sit and watch most of the year. I'm sure I'll always shoot a couple ducks for the pups though.
Same here. When he came out I thought "Crud" but went with it. He was very nice, professional and strong! He did great. If i could go back to him I would. That being said, I'd rather a random woman than a random man.
There are quite a few companies that just do sitting. I'm sure there's multiple options in & around BR. Something you wouldn't have any idea about until you need it. You could call a local home health type place and ask for sitting service recs.

Agree. I also told my wife I could leave the house at 5 instead of 4 and be in my best blind by shooting light.

Agree. People only think about the afternoon. When little Jaxon and Harleigh are at the bus stop in the dark they wont be happy.

Man, I feel your pain! I used to get it real bad when I was younger. Much more careful now. I did get a little on my arm last year. I experimented and used oragel gel on the spots I had. Worked real good for relieving the itch. Got to use the gel formula and apply it several times a day but it was worth it.
Man, this put a smile on my face and made me miss my Grandpaw.

Got family coming from Canada that want to fish the rigs. Any recs? Thanks

Same. Very emotional place to be. The contour of Utah & Omaha is still scarred from the shelling. Read something last year that said something like 4% of the sand is shrapnel today.
There's an ol boy in town that was there. Still in good shape. Going to give him a call tomorrow.

Any recs? I've got exhaust codes that pop up for time to time on my F250. Exhaust is deleted, I'd like to be able to clear them.
My ninth without her. Ol boy needs some perspective. Hope he gets it before it's too late.
Do NOT go with Sam Shaw @ Showtime Charters out of Key West. Worst guide experience I've ever had.
We've run them in the bayou in front of the camp during duck season. Pretty heavy tidal current going through. We used bricks tied off a 3 way swivel to keep them in place. Still had to look all over creation to find the ones with good fish on them. Once found one on the way to the duck blind almost 3 miles from the camp.

Fried nuggets is always the favorite. We do them chickfila style with pickle juice. I have fileted one into a big this sheet, spread uncased deer sausage on the turkey then rolled it up and smoked it. There were no left overs.
My wifes favorite is when I routee the legs and thighs and make a gravy.
I do this for a living. I usually figure 3 people to the pound depending on other items on the menu. Considering your frying chicken also & assuming you have something else filling like jam, I'd fry 6 to 8 #s. Not enough to fire up a big pot.

Dollar Weed & Crab Gras

My backyard is covered with dollar weed & crabgrass. Any suggestions on what to put on it?
Mostly leasing from companies that hold the land for mineral rights.

I agree 100% but I doubt this passes. This is going to come down to where the general public can fish gators. It'll be another public water issue & we all know how that goes for us.
