What a week...aint over yet...the fun continues...

Additional warning this week.
If you willingly enter the cleaning, water damage restoration, & Remediation industry you are probably insane. Most floods aren't planned & don't seem to care about your plans. o_O

Was shooting Ghogs off a farmer's property years ago. He had a lot of cattle and had no use for Ghogs. I was setup standing in the shop truck bed shooting off the roof with sandbags. He walks up one day and didn't know,or care a whole lot about shootin irons.

Was shooting a 243 with those little 60g? ballistic tips. So,told him to stick his fingers in his ears and watch. Centered a hog @225 yds. He thought that was just about the coolest thing he'd ever seen.



Caught a big female beaver on a private contract, just as the landowner came walking by to his deer stand. Dropped the water 3 foot for over a mile in his ditch. That’s seven out of there, and should be the last.Thought he was going to kiss me. He has not seen about half his land since September. Lol

Do you really want to hang with those that plan flooding in their home?

Cresting some vintage NOS Easton 2117's that are Treebark camo pattern. Kinda rare.

White crown dip,black bands with gold pinstripes. White nocks with cut feathers.... back 1/3rd is white.... front 2/3rds,yellow barred. Burnt on a 4 1/2" "shield cut" pattern.Pics forthcoming.

Me and shopdog are watching out the windows for that monster buck we both seen a cpl weeks ago. Working on 2019 arrows. She has the RCA dog look when burning the feathers,haha. Then starts to eat the drops...... 3D training?

Easton 2114's( Autumn Orange) is what I use to shoot in my compounds. I fletched mine with four fletch, 4" white feathers. All white is far easier to track to the target, especially a brown deer. With four fletch, there is no need for a different colored cock feather and far easier to load the arrow in the dark..................not having to deal with the cock feather position.

Back in the day...................there were no camo patterns. You had the green Gamegetters and the more expensive Autumn Orange. Then came the camo craze. Personally I don't care for them and their next to impossible to find in the leaf litter.

Our Santa Ana winds have subsided and fire depts. have near 100% control of the SoCal fires.

Youngest is off school for Thanksgiving week.

Went to next town over to pick up some green tripe for the puppy's food. Flat tire on the left front on the way home. Made the best of it and got to teach son how to change a tire in not the best of circumstances.

I had a Ben Pearson compound . Shot it for a while too , 2114 Easton's 60# 60% .... I just couldn't warm up to it . Mostly I shot a 48# 58" Bear Grizzly I had to work a little bit to get the 31" full draw . Left eyed shooting right handed both eyes open . It was amazing training . It probably did more to improve my rifle shooting than anything else I ever tried .

the Christmas tree heading to the nations capitol come through town yesterday, it had more escorts than the president himself gets.
they parked it around back of the big park in town and let people come over and write stuff on the side of the enclosed trailer.
someone also set up some tables and handed out hot coca and you could look up in the trailer and see some of the big cards that were hung on the tree like ornaments.
we drove past but didn't stop.
the wife asked why I didn't stop,,, and I just looked at her for a second or two then mentioned the tree was parked next to a row of trees just as big and the same type.
aaand after almost 20 years of working on a Christmas tree lot I could not care less about a big stupid tree laying on a trailer.

I hauled a load of brush to town, picked up a set of fence-stretching bars, got some diesel, got home, loaded the last of the cut brush on the trailer, and unhooked it so wifey could go to a showing of overpriced garbage that respectable people three generations ago had tried to throw away (AKA "antique show"). Gonna fuel up the Bobcat after dinner and try to work on the muddy mess that needs to be a drainage ditch.

Like this doe, I am holed up and riding out the weather.
She is right out back of the house. I took the photo with my phone from the warmth of my indoor environment.
