Patience
Sitting and watching the Vandy, Bamma game and eating pizza burgers! Say what! That sounds weird. Ya, that’s what I thought when I first saw it when I began dating my wife but so good.

I will be really surprised if we have a successful hunting season this year. They are cutting all the trees down for lumber around my favorite field to hunt. At times I would count between 15 and 20 deer in that field of all ages. Without the trees I don't think the deer will come anymore. It makes me sad to see all the trees gone.
The clear cut won't be that bad if they have to travel through it. Once the bushes and sapplings start to grow up to the shoulder height of the deer it will be ok.
 
Too bad, I could have sold it to you for a five spot and gotten more than they paid me for it.
But honestly Tom, the prices weren't that high 20 years ago. The younger generation has had a lot to do with the price boom. Vinyl actually outsole cds last year. The trends have the prices up for now.
 
I can share my secret for how to make them look like that. Buy them like that and take the photos quick before they get a chance for me to kill them.

I will try to take pics when cooking , but ball games and all might prevent it. But here is a screen shot of the recipe I use.

Took a screenshot, thanks. Sounds delicious, looking forward to seeing the final product.
 
Making Chicken Jambalaya, no fresh garlic so powder will have to do. Not shown, 2 cups chicken broth

But that won't happen in time for this season as they still have a lot of trees to cut.

you never know, if you have a stand I would still sit it at least a few times

I used to love when the.paper mill logged our hunting clubs. It really let you get deep in there and the deer/turkey use the roads too. It's fun trying to call a cobbler up a logging road like that

Dang powers out, I have a battery powered air stone in the tank. Beautiful sunny day, currently 79 degrees. Better be on by 7:30!

By five spot I meant five dollars. I think I got one or two dollars for it. The only one I remember getting decent money for was the Beatles White Album. I do remember there were a couple others they wanted pretty bad because when they gave me the quote the manager pulled the rep aside and questioned him, he pointed to a few albums and the manager just nodded and walked away. I needed the money at the time so it was what it was. If I think about all the things I sold cheap, donated or just plain threw away that have become classics, I'd go nuts.

There are no trees going to be left there we normally have a blind at the edge of the trees that has been there for years but it's gone now to. It's ok I have lots of other places to hunt it was just one of my favorites to hunt for the evening hunts because there were almost always fawns I could watch playing.

 
This is my biggest buck so far and he's bigger than normal for our area of Georgia we hunt. He's the biggest any of us have gotten since I started deer hunting about 9 years ago. I got him at my second favorite place that's down in the woods. He was also my first deer that I tracked on my own. I was so proud of myself.
