Good post Sligh. Of the the 350 cases of CJD a year, how many are linked to eating some other species with a prion disease? They don't know or aren't telling. I can get myself all worked up about CWD and think I shouldn't eat any more venison(I'm in a zone with it). But when I look at all the...

Don't use my name, I have a rep in this county to uphold!!

The fire is lit, won't need to ice the beer, and the crew is on the way! My favorite weekend of the year is upon us. Bonker, my son, my kid brother and I will spend the next 4-5 days feeding several fires; the stove, our bellies, our thirst, the card games, but most of all the fellowship. This...

Congrats to you both! Better than Maker's??? Or just a cool name and bottle?

There was a story in the "Iowa Outdoors" I got the other day about a treestand fall. The guy crawled up his stand for the first hunt without pre-checking the straps. He had left the stand out all year. IMO, chains and iron are the only acceptable way to attach stands you plan to leave up, even...

Cool morning got me checking treestands and I kicked up a 110-120 eight pt. all cleaned off already. Gets you going!

I don't pay for any outdoor channels on TV, but I get LOTS of links to stuff on youtube. Maybe I'm just an old grumpy guy, well no maybe about it, but I can't stand the fistpump and the phrase, " I SMOKED him". I mean, was that buck your mortal enemy in combat or something? Isn't that a...

NE Iowa. Brassicas right after July 25, Winter rye Aug. 20, NO EARLIER but can go later if weather dictates.

The mix that has worked for me for several years is equal parts Purple Top turnips, Barkant forage turnips, Dwarf essex Rape, with just a few groundhog radish thrown in.

Snow will be gone by Sat. for sure. Losing it fast today but still gonna be white in the morning.

With 6 in. of snow on the ground and a low tonight of 20-22 degrees, I'm getting out some heavy clothes for a sit tomorrow morning. As I'm digging out long underwear it occurred to me. It's going to be colder on April 20th than it was the morning of Jan. 10 when Bonker and I sat in trees the...

I did hear from a very reliable source(high ranking PF guy) yesterday that cost share for establishing CRP may be under the gun. Not to eliminate it, just lower it. Not a bad thing IMO, no reason it should be almost free. One thing I hate is buy-out provisions. If you sign-up, you should have...

Most commonly heard question at the Stabbin' Cabin when Bonker is there,"Bonker, are you ever going to roll out of that sleeping bag and go hunting?"

Bonker is so stressed about the IBA banquet, I doubt he will survive till the classic. You'll know him by his gray, wispy beard. His better half says it's a sexy look, kinda like a aging walrus, but a little more "jowly". Had to join in with all you oldtimers on here. Glad to see there's...

Got out of the combine in time to see most of the game. WOW what a game! Go Cubs!!!

I'm pretty sure Bonker is full of "used" ice cream sandwiches.His wife told me he eats that many every night whether the Cubs are playing or not. I think a better indicator would be if the Bonks was doing something he rarely does when the Cubs win, like doing situps.

Let me guess. It was too hot out for you and you went in to watch the Cubs, had acouple silver bullets and fell asleep?

bonkers irritable bowl syndrome... These are all separate world problems. Bonker's irritable Bonker's bowel Bonker's Syndrome And we won't even get into his card playing ability. Let's just say that any man who has both bowers and the ace in his hand, and leads with an off suit...

My son called me and asked how I got a pic of Bonker like that and he knew I couldn't photoshop it into the pic. Nope. That is a Bonker selfie that he printed and taped under the seat to stay for eternity.
