I bought a Instant Pot. Works great. I did Red Beans/Polish Sausages, and Rice last night. Took about 45 minutes, but very tasty. Part of the extended time was browning the Sausage rounds and Onion...

They don't last long at my house... The temptation is too great. I BBQ all the time. In the Fall of the year, lots of people quit BBQ for the year. Local stores usually put their inventory on sale. I try to buy up a half dozen BUTTS, and a couple Hams to smoke too.

I did Beer Can Chicken in my smokers, on my Gill, and in the Oven. Most of the time I used Black Pepper, Sea Salt, Garlic, Onion Powder, and Paprika. Sometimes I used other things, depending what's on my spice shelf. THEN... I started Spatchcocking Chicken instead. I use the same spices...

I have converted several stands to chain on's. I take off the Nylon and drill a hole on each side , attach two S hooks. I attach a chain in one side and close the hook. The other side I hook the chain pretty tight, and wrap the chain around the stand then padlock it to the tree. Lastly I...

Many years ago I shot my recurves with a quiver attached. During the next Summer (1968), I shot without it, and never went back to a bow with a quiver. It's more trouble to maneuver with a hip quiver, but I mostly just slipped in, climbed a tree to one of my Chain On Stands, and hung it on the...

Practice, Practice, Practise... My advice is to keep the wind in your face. Set up and resist the urge to move around. I try to hunt where no one else is hunting. Do everything very slowly. If you get a shot... Wait till the deer turns his head away from you, focus your sight on a tiny...

Sounds like you use a primitive Homemade Stick Bow, and Home Made Flint Broadheads. I certainly hope you aren't wearing modern clothes for hunting. Are you hunting bareback on a horse? Get real man. People modernize sometimes because they want too, and other times because they have too. I...

Age is starting to take a toll on me. I have been grounded. Bad Back, Bad Knees, Bad Shoulders ect... So this year I rifle hunted from the ground for the first time in the last 45 years. I sold my Compound. I'm leaving my hunting club. Terrain is steep Mountain and I'm not up to it, but I...

I'm a couple of years older, almost 71 now... I killed my first Deer in 1966 at Choccolocca WMA. It was two years before I saw my first live Deer during Deer season in Alabama. A Doe, and she wasn't legal... The next year I was on fire to kill a Deer. I shot a scrawny 6 point... Yep that...

Yep... Check the Tarsal Glands. Also... look to see the ears in relation to the antlers... Are the antlers taller? Do the antlers stick out past the ears. Next thing to think about... A mature deer's head will appear smaller than a yearlings. DO YOUR LOOKING QUICKLY. As soon as you...

A blind I try to hunt at least once a season is near the head of a holler. Deer trails come off of three ridges. In a brushy spot I brought in three wooden pallets painted OD green and dull brown splotches... I wired them together to form a big slightly open 'U' I staked the thing in place...

When I can I like to hunt 100 or more yards back in the woods from our food plots. Deer kind of amble toward the food plots. For every deer killed in a food plot. we probably have 5-10 killed back in the woods going toward the plot. Deer are not as wary when they get back in the woods.

Oh to be 60 again. Problem is that around 70 you can feel yourself starting to slip a little bit. Bad backs get worse. Knees need replaced, and arthritis starts to show up... Getting old isn't for the feint of heart. Better be tough if you want to be an old man. ;) I'm lucky that I can still...

Using the Bat Wing Antenna on my camper I could pick up all of the stations in Birmingham about 45 miles from their transmitter. It's on a mountain and so am I... and in Rome, Ga. This was from my camper in my yard in Gadsden,Al. I'm a candidate to put up one too. I have the elevation, just...
