This is the reverse. The funniest prank call of all times.

A friend who lives on property that was granted by the Crown to an ancestor when Georgia was settled did repairs on outbuildings that were over 200 years old. The family has lived on the property continuously since 1733 He gave me some discarded heart pine from what was once part of a turkey pen. I ...

The history of the wood is enough on its own to make it desirable. Gil

The private ranch we hunted this century had a couple of 1985 Toyota pick-ups (red, of course)-- tough little GOATs. Each had a puncture plug kit and 12 volt pump with instructions how to repair the tires and warnings not to drive over cactus or mesquite. Gil

Bags are expensive, though.

As for something to sit on, don't bring something that inflates. You can't begin to imagine the number of thorns growing in TX. They will penetrate and flatten truck tires. Gil

Had a buddy pass away due to cancer. I bet he'd take the odds on a 3% survival rate of covid 19 instead of a known killer. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk Sorry for your loss. A 40 year friendship of my wife ended when her friend died from Covid last month. One of my sisters who lived with our...

Kinda like Viagra for mountain sickness.

Don't be making a mountain out of a hump. Gil

What's a "conventional" flyrod? Split Tonkin Cane or fiberglass and graphite? 8' -9' but not 10" as are are being made today? Lee Wulff once caught an Atlantic Salmon on film caught without a rod, but on a fly cast with the line in his hand and reel in his pocket.

Yes,it's fly fishing.No point in arguing with the gw. Fly fishing is defined as a fishing sport with a fly on one end of a line cast by a rod held by a snob. I'd report the incident up the chain of command so that no one else will have the issue. While not fishing, a buddy got escorted off a militar...

Thank you.

Déjà vu all over again:
Headlines in Chicago 1919 and advertisement in San Francisco Chronicle March, 1919.

Do you truly believe that wearing a mask, staying out of bars, or staying locked up in your house could have saved any of those lives? Not playing devil's advocate or trying to start anything just asking. I understand that everyone has an opinion and is totally entitled to it and my opinion is that...

No governor or politician has "outlawed" HCQ's use. From the FDA's official press release of June 15: Ok so I used the term banned rather loosely. However governors of some states set edicts down that drs and physicians could not use it How about a name, a state, and a press release where a governo...

Giddy-up and go!

My first Food Saver died on me. I replaced it with a smaller version by the same company that came bare bones with bags. The larger original version came with vacuum bottles and a self contained bag cutter and had a larger foot print. The fewer frills version from Wally World works fine for my purpo...

Woodcock and snipe have no crop or gizzard. I usually eat them fairly fast as well. They are as good as any wild game I've eaten. Gil

The innards don't spoil the taste. When a woodcock flushes, he empties everything. Apparently their diet doesn't require strong stomach acids. Heck, I've cooked them guts in and made a sauce from the innards. I wouldn't do it with quail, however. Their innards smell like a garbage truck during a Jul...

During woodcock season I'll vacuum bag a few birds guts and feathers intact for freezing. Thawed out the meat is as fresh looking and tasting as the day shot. The feathers act as additional protection against freezer burn. Gil

Okra: Cut tip and stem section off. Smaller the pod, the better. On a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper, scatter pods on sheet and sprinkle olive oil them. Put pan into preheated oven, 400-450 F. Monitor until it begins to darken. Time is pod size dependent. I like a few darker than green. B...

looking good!

Steve, you must have had shot burning a hole in your loading bench to shoot that much shot with one trigger pull. That or you ran out of things to do. ;) Now you can get back to shooting your .410 with a third of the shot the 2.5 oz. load carries and kill them 1/3rd as dead. The pattern is a take no...

Would it extract and eject? My 870 Supermag is a POS. I've been using it developing light woodcock/quail loads for another gun and I have to use a ramrod to complete extraction in about every 3rd shot with factory light loads yesterday. It did the same NIB with factory dove/quail loads. Gil

Good to see you back here. If you ever see me on FB, call the cops. Someone is forcing me at gunpoint. Gil
