Well, the guy is right, but there's a better way. When you trim the calories out of your diet, get rid of the starchy ones. If you cut out anything white ( except eggs ) and all sugar, and the weight will go away quickly. Soda pop and fruit juices are the absolute worst things to drink, as...

They've all got some predator instincts in them. Sometimes it's buried pretty deep, but you never know when it's going to come bubbling up to the surface. It's a lot more common in house cats than it is in dogs, but even the little lap dogs often show predatory tendencies on occasion. I...

She probably shook the livin' daylights out of poor little chuckie. He looks pretty tired from playing rough with Taylor.

SERIOUS indigestion problem. That clover just doesn't agree with him.

Nicely done, Sir.

I've seen them on fence posts fairly often, and have long wanted to watch one climb up there. They just jump to get down, unless you shoot them right off their perch. We used to have an old apple tree in the back yard that had fallen over, and the trunk was at about a 45-degree angle. The...

One of my old buddies had a woodchuck digging up the inside of one of his grain bins. He went in there and set up a lawn chair, and sat there and waited for him to come out of his hole. He had the 12-gauge slug gun across his lap. Yup - you guessed it. When the chuck came up, he gave him one...

Good idea. A fully grown woodchuck will be as tough as an old boot. You can par-boil one for a week and you still won't be able to stick a fork in it. If it's old enough to have ever dug its own den, it's too old to eat. Get a couple of little ones, about the size of a bunny-rabbit, and the...

It looks like that friendship was short but sweet.

You did that one a favor. Those marty feldman eyeballs probably don't work too well.

That's a big one. He was too big for a coyote to kill, so they left him for seed. They'll eat all the babies next spring.

The only AI cartridge I have any fireforming experience with is the 30-06 AI, but what has worked best for me is a crush-fit at the neck-shoulder juncture and a heavy bullet with the fastest appropriate powder for that bullet weight. I used 180's, since I had a lot of them. The brass...

I used to hunt in northwestern Minnesota, for the pony-sized whitetails that roam the big farming valley along the Red River of the North. In those days, it was slug-gun only - and those don't reliably anchor deer with ribcage shot placement. If we were close to property boundaries, without...

The MacAllan can come in very handy when it's time to celebrate a kill. As for the snoose, a guy could use that to lure his girlfriend out of the tent when it's time to pack one off the mountain. Unless she's got a fresher can of 'hagen in there with her, it would probably work.

I had surgeries on both shoulders back in the late '80's, and my recovery is on-going. While I'm still very pleased with the outcome, I'm a good reminder to all that these repaired joints are never going to work like new ones do. PT is extremely important to get your money's worth out of the...
