Well, the deer keep coming. I was leaving the house to go to lunch today and noticed a just hit doe along side the road that wasn't there a couple hours earlier.

I went back to the house and got my truck(with the deer hoist in the back), loaded her up, took her home, skinned her then quartered her using the gutless method( a good idea on road kills), this one had an obviously busted gut inside.

I called my friend Darin who was looking for a deer and was glad to have her.

I hate to let a deer go to waste;

Eric, thanks for showing these pork eaters what a decent gun should look like. 

Good luck with the surgeon, hopefully you don't come home in a cooler like the shoulder of that deer just did!  Keep us posted, ok?

Well today is my Monday this week. I got a tree program at 2pm. My dad came down a week ago and has been helping me get my chores done. Got some details that been waiting five years done inside the house - wife is happy! Got a few other things done here and there. Was 71 at the house yesterday. What happened to winter? Saw a nice bald eagle on the way to work this morning!

When you all feel like traveling come visit me in Yosemite National Park!

Just fleshed 2 deer hides and grained one, need to grain one more deer and skin a muskrat then call it a day.   I might have to leave the deer hide for tommorrow, graining is a workout for me. Later Bob

I waded into my osage billet pile the last few days just to see what I could sorta' match and turn into bow blanks. I cut and spliced together two blanks, not great stuff but will make bows.

On a side note; I was bending the deflex out of a billet with heat that started cracking. I filled the crack with superglue and got a face full of superglue fumes from the hot wood, big mistake, felt pretty ill for the next few hours. Just a heads up.

Pork Eater :o, I resent that, JW. I've killed a few porkies with my William Large barrel, also. ;)

Just got through cleaning and putting new line on 5 bait casting rods and reels and 4 ultra lights.  Also went through the six tackle boxes I have and consolidated them down to one.  Now...I'm ready to do some early spring fishing!!!!!! Can't wait!!!  :)

Sounds like you are ready to set a few hooks Bill.  Good luck!


Yesterday I got a deal on an old vise I found on Craigslist for $30.  Its a 5 1/2" matco, made in the USA.  It was missing the jaw pads.  Today I made some new pads and swapped it out with my old Crafstman that I was using.  I had the new pads fitting perfectly.  I went to install them when I realized I had counter sunk the holes on the wrong side.  I was steaming mad at myself  >:(   I quickly fixed it but the fit wasn't near as good as it was the first time.  Its bolted down and ready to go.
