Okay,thanks. I thought it wouldn’t be much.

That looks great. I do a marinade similar to that but without vinegar. But I would like to try that so how much vinegar do you put in it?

I have went through the plastic bins in my man cave and found all sorts of stuff I didn’t know I had. Knives, ammo, gloves and broadheads. It’s like Christmas. I finally had to buy a shelf to put my ammo on so I would know what I had.

Yes, 20 years $5,000 was a lot of money but I was still working then and I could have afforded it. I did a South Africa trip in 2005 and had $10,000 or more in it with airfare for me and the wife. Dall sheep hunt in 2010, $10,000, British Columbia moose in 2012, $10,000. But now my Social...

I’m a fan of oysters also. I can eat them fixed about any way, pan fried, breaded and deep fried, raw on the half shell, roasted in the shell or oysters Rockefeller. I can’t really get fresh oysters where I live so I always pig out when I go to the coast. Several years ago the oyster shacks...

I know, it’s just amazing the prices the tags are bringing. About 2011 I had an outfitter tell me he could get a tag for about $8,000. I didn’t do it but looking back I should have. I think about 2003-2004 time frame they were going for $5,000. I didn’t do that one either and regret it.

I’m a huge fan also, looks great.

Last year one of the groups that had a tag was trying to sell 500 tickets at $100 each and they sold 220. Another group was trying to sell 350 at $100 each and they sold 266. Since these are $50 tickets selling 400 of them might be a good estimate.

It’s for deer or elk or antelope. Not for all three. And yes, you can hunt any unit on ground you have permission to hunt on. But you do have to choose which unit and species you are going to hunt when you get the license. There will be a maximum of 2,000 tickets for this tag. But there isn’t...

Around here we produce a lot of hardwood lumber. We ship it to China and they make furniture with it and ship it back to us. Maybe someone can explain the economics of that to me.

And Jet Blue was trying to buy Spirit until Biden blocked it. Jet Blue and Spirit probably have less experienced pilots. But he worst flights are casino junket charter flights. Every time they land they hit so hard you think the land g gear is going to break off. I think the pilots are the...

I don’t think 21 points is going to get you a lot. It won’t get most of the tags in 2,10,201,40,61 or 851. Might get an archery or 4th season in 40. So what will it get you? Unit 76 might be an option, 49 or 20 late. Unit 76 and 49 are mostly horseback public land not private ranches but there...

Yeah, it looks that way. During the pandemic airlines gave early retirement to pilots, flight attendants and maintenance personnel. Now they don’t have any people or spare planes. Another story. In 2012 I was flying home from a British Columbia moose hunt. Last leg was Chicago to Charleston...

I January our family was flying from Charleston,WV to Aruba. Charleston to Chicago, Chicago to Aruba. Flight from Charleston was canceled a day ahead for weather they said which was a lie because all the other airlines flew. They wanted to put us on a flight two days later. Would’ve los two days...

My son flew Spirit from Pittsburgh to Las Vegas and they cancelled his return flight. The next flight hey they were going to put him on was three days later but he couldn’t do that because he had to get home for work. He had to pay a lot with a different airline for a one way ticket to get...

Of course the way the free hunt works is the outfitter has a couple of clients that want to go elk hunting but they only have two pp each. For a general tag they can do a party draw with the guy with 13 points and two guys with two points each and the average will let them all draw. So the...

West Virginia has been trying to establish an elk herd since 2016. Due to CWD there are very few places that you can get elk. Some of the transplanted elk died due to stress from being moved and some have died from brainworm, which is an issue in the East where elk share range with whitetails...

Resident or nonresident. If you are a nonresident it probably doesn’t exist with 19 points.

It’s been cold here in WV this week. Two degrees and 8 inches of snow one day. Then 4 inches of snow. Then seven degrees and 8 more inches of snow this morning. Supposed to warm up and rain next week.

I like the food thermometer for pork chops. Don’t want to eat raw pork but pork chops are easy to overcook also so I have started using a thermometer on them.

If you register on Gunbroker you can see what guns actually sold for, not just what people are trying to sell them for. Your old guns may be worth more than you think they are so make sure you look at all of them. Used guns like everything else are selling high.

It seems like we get EMail scams every day. We got one the other day from SocialSecurity.gov needing to verify some information. Very official looking with that Email address. But I thought something is wrong here. Social Security usually doesn’t send Emails. A little research shows SS email...

UPS and Fed Ex are turning packages over to USPS for delivery in my area. The delivery people aren’t Postal Service employees, they are contractors. I’m sure they don’t like. If it doesn’t fit in the mailbox they have to deliver it to the door. But all three are still making deliveries.

If you are selling on line the FFL fee could be a consideration. As others have posted they could be anywhere from free to over $100. In my area they are $15 to $25. On Gunbroker you can search for FFL dealers in your area and what they charge by entering your zip code. I don’t know about gun...

Sorry,need to correct myself again. You couldn’t draw third rifle but you could draw 4th. These old eyes with cataracts having trouble seeing the small print. It took 23 points for third rifle. I drew that tag with 10 points I think in 2015.

Biggarstaff outfitters and Trophy Class outfitters are the ones with a lot of private land. Biggarstaff posts their trophy photos on their Instagram page. Trophy Class Outfitters used to post on their Facebook page but they don’t do that any more. The ones on their web site are a little old.

My bad, you could’ve drawn third rifle.

This year a non resident wouldn’t have draw a muzzleloader, first rifle, second or third rifle in unit 40 with 20 points.

Well, show us a photo of the crab harvest.

I thought most of it sold pretty high. I bought a M336 30-30 45 yers ago from a fiend for $75 when he needed money. But they were just a hundred and something new then. I think the $700 range is what they are going for but by the time they paid the extras they had $900 in it. I gave it to my son...

This auction has closed so if you click on it now you can see what the guns sold for. A 17% buyers premium, sales tax and shipping would be added to these prices.

I think the prices being listed are pretty much correct. I’m booked for Eastern Wyoming, private land next year for $6,000. Easy draw, maybe one PP. These hunts with easy draws are booked two to three years out. I had to book two years out. I wouldn’t wait either. These hunts have probably...

It looks like a Conservation Officer in Utah is very similar to West Virginia. They are law enforcement, not wildlife people, don’t need any wildlife education or training. They go to the State Police Academy. Pay looks similar. Minimum requirements a little different. In Utah they want six...

Trails West Outfitters, Area 61, horseback hunt I think. Out West Safaris, Area 108, private land, hunting from motel, truck hunt. Wood River Outfitters, Area 61 or 62, private land and public land. I would talk to all three of those. Do you want a horseback hunt or truck hunt. All three of...

And I know that M2 was fully automatic. I saw some guys at a gun show that had one that you could go to their place and shoot it for a fee. It was a three hour drive from me so I never went.

More on light arms in the Army Air Force. At some point n the war, Philippines I think, each tent was issued a Thompson sub machine gun. Not each soldier but each tent. Officers and flying personnel were issued 45s. Infantry privates were not issued 45s but they wanted them because they were...

I have always wanted an M1 Carbine. My father spent two and a half years in the Army Air Force in WW2 in the pacific. The M1 Carbine was the rifle they were issued so he had one in his tent for two and a half years. He didn’t think much of it, thought it was a piece of crap. He said he could...

You got a great deal. They are $1,000 and up now for a WW 2 M1 carbine. Of course price now depends on a lot of different things. Winchesters are a little higher, matching WW2 manufacture parts are higher. Ones with import marks are a little less, of course good original condition are higher.

This is a firearms auction near me that you guys might enjoy looking at. But these guns won't go cheap. A couple of years ago I purchased an Inland M1 Carbine from them. Bid $1,050 but had over $300 in buyers premium, Virginia sales tax and shipping. Did I pay too much? Could I have got one...

The guys that go to a lot of races enjoy listening to their scanners. Tune in to their favorite team and listen to the driver, spotter and crew chief during the race. That’s something you don’t get watching it at home. At least I don’t think you can get that at home.
