The follow up(Brian's winter) was pretty good as well. I've always wanted to go "Off the grid" and live in a cabin for like a year but then I think about how much certain things would suck and just go fishing instead.This was also read like a 100 times by little TBT, "The River" on the other hand was the bastard child.

May have to visit the old library and tear through hatchet/brian's winter this weekend

Previous to this experience I wasn't even sure how much I would enjoy the meat. I was mostly after the antlers and the outdoor experience so the meat is a bonus. At this point I can say I would do it again, although the next animal could be a antelope or elk in another state, so that could change. $400 is a drop in the bucket compared to everything else I spend on this stuff.Antelope hunting is about as hard as making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, it is fun tho. Elk hunting is my favorite, lived around the mountains for a long time and very tiring going up and down the mountains but worth it. Never been moose hunting but I'm sure it would be a blast.I want to backpack in way away from a road and camp and hunt and kill one and cut it into pieces and carry it out on my back.

has anyone done a snow geese conservation spring hunt in kansas? I really want to do that this year (mainly to fill my freezer with goose jerky) and I know you basically have to use a guide because you need a minimum 2,000 decoys or so and have to know where they're flying.

there are over a million (billion?) geese on the lake by my office at any one time. really fat ones with gullets full of popcorn and cafeteria breads fed to them by the proletariats in the office park.
So shot some clays today for the first time. I was hitting about 80-90% while my buds who owned the shotguns and clay flinging contraption were only hitting like 40%. I'm pretty sure I'm a clay shooting savant for whatever that is worth.
I doubt you were really breaking that many, though.

Anything over 80% is pretty good, for trap, IMO. I doubt you were really breaking that many, though. Was this chowder Creek?

Was this chowder Creek?Not sure what you mean by "breaking that many" but if a piece came flying off of the clay after my gun went "boom" then I counted it.Check out this great ACTION shot, you can see the clay IN MULTIPLE PEICES in the top right corner. We were at my buddies land by 255th and pflum, didn't catch any fish tho :-(.

No way you were breaking 80-90% with that form.Are you implying that if I had the correct form I would be hitting 95-100%?!?!?Is there a professional clay shooting league I could dominate?
