Lol I say that shit way too much. But my life is insane sometimes so it’s the only thing that I can say to keep moving

Get ya a Samsung TV. those channels are built in to the free Samsung tv app.

oh, forgot to mention. Any of you gents got real deep pockets? The 9k acre outfitter I share a fence line with in Texas is going up for sale real soon. Someone should buy it

 

One thing I forgot on my backpack loadout list is a decent camera. Doesn't have to be Nikon D50 (althought the D3500 comes with a decent lens and is ~$650) but something that takes a little bit better pics than a phone. I currently have an older (6yr old) Fuji Finepix that takes great photos. Decent zoom, manual as well as automatic settings. It's always in my pack. I find myself looking for photo opportunities. Contrary to what The Angry Bowhunter says, sometimes it's more about the journey, than the destination.

 

Lol yeah not me but for how much?

 

Man call me lazy but I just snap pics with the iPhone

not officially for sale so I don’t know. Owner is a family friend who has a nack for hiring shitbags. Just passed ownership to his kids who don’t want to deal with it. It’s a badass place and had been on the outdoor channel quite a few times

I do I lot of Iphone pics. As I've gotten older, with waaaay more sunrises behind than ahead, I try to capture the moment. Maybe it's the way a leaf looks backlit from a sunrise, the view out the cabin wndow of the huge maple, leaves all yellow, maybe a foggy morning, a field full of goldenrod with migrating Monarch butterflies, my son perfectly silhouetted against a sparkling stream, executing a perfect parachute mend with his flyrod,... Moments, forever captured.

Looking at that ranch, seems to be a nice place and the rates are actually decent for Texas. I'll have to speak to "She Who Must Be Obeyed" about $$. She always wanted a nice "little" quiet place to watch wildlife. Im sure it will be affordable for a nurse and automation engineer.

 

Father in-laws back yard.

 

Looks like he needs to eat.

 

That was pretty much his attitude when he sent me the text.

 

I think it’s a younger buck with big genetics.

 

Post rut

 

Very true.

 

The best kind!

 

My dad thought the same thing right after I was delivered. Nurse looked at him said "Sorry, that's the umbilical cord."

 

Just another addtion to the Elk Pack Load out. Maybe the best $8 I spent on Amazon. In my kill kit I have a Havalon Piranta with replaceable blades. I also have a 4" Mora knife. Sometimes you just need a bigger heavier blade to break animals down. And sometimes, after much use, they lose their edge. Enter the Work Sharp Pivot Plus field sharpener. It weighs an a little over an ounce, is 3.5"lg x 1.63"w x .75"dp. And it does a damn fine job of putting an edge back on steel. The other sharpener I have is just a little to big and bulky. I figured for $8 what the heck...
