  1. Thread is invalid without 8-track. Paul McCartney - Ram.

    8 Track- Kiss Destroyer
    Got this along with a JC Penny’s combo stereo that had the receiver, turntable and 8-track for Christmas 1977

    Cassette - maybe Billy Squire- Don’t Say No. 1981 on the Craig system I put in my first truck.

    CD - Pink Floyd - Dark Side of the moon to play on one of the brand new Sony D-50 portable CD players

    Album - don’t even remember
  2. Well shit, this sucks to hear.

    I guess today is gonna be a Joe Ely live album kinda day around the house. His earlier full band live albums were really good but, IMO, Live at Antone’s is one of the greatest live albums ever recorded.

    How’s everybody doing tonight ….

  3. I also set up 2 tactacam game cams and absolutely love getting real time updates of what animals are moving around in the Windbreaks. 
    I never really hunted deer but everyday around sunset this buck comes cruising around the west end of the windbreak. I could totes just roll around in cow shit and hide in that big cedar tree around 330 then blast him when he walks by around 5 right...?

    This is a great buck. If he travels in the same direction each evening, try to find a hide spot downwind from the direction he will approach. Figure out a travel path to get to that hide that doesn’t cross his path. If you don’t roll around in cow shit, Break off some cedar boughs and rub them on you
  4. Thinking about going for a Lone Star Hiking Trail thru hike in December or January (weather dependent). 96 miles in the Sam Houston NF/Conroe/Huntsville area. Mostly flat through the woods, but Texas’ longest trail. 
     
    Will be the first trail where I may have to cache water, especially if it stays as dry as it has been this fall. Probably wouldn’t see any other hikers out there. Maybe some hunters. Probably will wear an orange vest if I go, so I don’t get sniped. 

    We did a couple different parts of it on weekend training hikes for our Philmont trips. Just me, but I wouldn’t hike in the NF during hunting season. Too many rednecks thinking the forest is their own. We did a CCW loop around through the Little Lake Creek Wilderness Area, leaving from TH3.

    It was wet during one trip and the trail was a slog the whole way. We got water at one stream but it was silty and clogged our filters pretty bad so I would have non-filter sterilization methods in addition you don’t cache. I think you can camp anywhere along the trail but there were a few designated campsites. There is a guidebook on the trail available on Amazon: Hiking The Lone Star Trail - Karen Somers. Seems like I read some posts on a website/forum with detailed information too but where escapes me.

  5. Earhole him, will kill him dead as a hammer. Probably the only way with a subsonic round that small. Get on line, and order the heaviest grain subsonic you can find.
    This would work perfectly: https://www.aguilaammo.com/products/22-sniper-subsonic-long-rifle-subsonic-lead-solid-point , never seen a sixty grain on a .22LR.

    This. Probably don’t need to worry about the twist rate. I have shot a few hundred of these through a youth single shot bolt action 22 and they are very quiet without using a suppressor. If you can’t find the Aguila’s, look for some CCI 22 lr 40grn hollow point subsonic. They are pretty quite out of the same 22.
  6. Question for you boat guys - this is the sliding door to my cabin. The three screws at the bottom won’t stay tight and keep working themselves out. The thread part looks kind of like a wood screw.
     
    Is there anything I can either put on the threads or in the fiberglass hole that will keep them in tighter, but still be able to unscrew them if needed?

    Is the core of that door wood or composite? For composite, I’d probably just poke some JB weld in there with a toothpick, then put the screws back in. If wood, I’d do a more thorough job of removing the trim piece and checking for rotten wood. I’d oversize drill the holes and epoxy in a dowel. Drill the dowel for screw pilot holes, paint/seal everything and then reinstall trim and screws.

    I like the concept behind the Moultrie feed hub set up, but hate the monthly per feeder fee. I already get bled out enough on the spypoint camera data plans. 


    I just bought on of these on sale at Avademy and didn’t research before hand. I thought it was Bluetooth connected for setup too. Nope gotta be cell connected. I’ll use it this season then buy a $35 manual controller for next year. I need to buy another and won’t get the connected version next go around. I paid $150 and it has the solar panel already so I’m OK with it for now.

  8. Was at my buddies place over the weekend near Nacodoches. I put out a feeder to hunt during gun season. I set it for 7:30 and 4:30 so you will be in stand when feeder goes off. If too early the hogs will get there first and eat all the corn
