and yet the dnr here says we have a shortage of deer, id rather see people shoot them and eat them than kill them with there cars and feed the wolves, eagles and other animals.

Sometimes I'll put a small slice of lemon rind in my morning espresso. This was earlier today at camp after a quick morning hunt.

November in Minnesota??? Brrrrr!!!!

The "zone" we hunt started just over 3 weeks ago (archery a month before that). It was in the mid-90's during the day this weekend. I had a Pacifio or two.  Bandito

its cool mike, i wouldnt say its cold.... course i do remember a couple of years ago it was -20 on opening morning. thats an exception not the rule, generally its  above 0, you just dress appropriately and its ok.

get some bibs from these guys and stay warm all day, i just bought another set of h3's on closeout for myself, my h1's were starting to get a little beat up. i wore them hunting for 7 seasons and ice fishing for that many as welll good stuff.

Just got to check my home email and my long awaited .308 will be shipping this week! Actually done a few weeks ahead of schedule which is awesome. Hope it ships tomorrow and it gets here before the week is out. Big Smile

How was everyone's holiday weekend? I had to work but it wasn't all that bad. Pretty easy going and relaxing if you can believe it.

What did you end up doing G?

Well, Friday got home and went to eat with my parents.  Saturday morning, paper tuned and sighted in the bow, dang its sweet!  Then mowed the yard, all 5 acres of it.  Then shot the bow some more.  then ate a nice big steak, watched UNC football team get killed, Sunday ate with my grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousins at Calabash (seafood) and then went down to Mrytle Beach for a little, came home and guess what, shot the bow some more.  Then today got up, bushogged some clearings for a few deer stands, and sighted in the 308 w/ new SS, 223 w/ new simmons that broke after 5 shots, and the big 300 win mag with the vortex viper on it.  Then,  shot the bow some more and packed it all up and came back to chapel hill.
 
WHat bout you?

Looking at Dodge Rams 1500's 05-06 used. I found 2 that are within an hours drive that have less than 40k miles on them and come in under 20k price tag. Kelley Blue Book has the retail value of them around 24k. They're both quad cab with 4 wheel drive and of course must have the 5.7 Hemi Big Smile I've always liked dodge. My dad's had one for 12 years and it's never given him problems other than an occasional small fix. I think he's over 130,000 miles on it now. Hate chevy's, and Fords, while i like them, do not have good reliability ratings and know to many people that have had one take a dump on them.
