    Question for the camera guys

    I decided to go with the D3100 from B&H, came in a package deal with an autofocus 18-55 lens for $580. Her old lenses will fit, but the autofocus on her 70-300 lens won't work. To be able for the old autofocus to work correctly I would have to upgrade to the D90 which was $799 just for the...

    cedar strip fishing boat?

    Wasn't a canoe. Looked like maybe 16ft, with 3 seats and a motor. I googled "cedar strip fishing boat", but the sites you mentioned didn't make the first couple pages. I will check them out.

    I have a 5 year old female chessie and up until this year I also had a german shorthair.

    The Robber has left Kansas

    I shipped the Robber to Kirk Sherbine yesterday. Should be in PA Wednesday. I got to hunt the Robber 3 times, but didn't shoot a bird. Birds have been here a while and are getting alot of pressure so they are definitely call shy and seem to be decoy shy as well. Couple pics from the...

    face paint

With the risk of looking like a racoon I am considering using face paint on my cheek bones and around my...

    arkansas duck hunt

    I am also going to Ark in January. Get to hunt a private club near Holly Grove. The BBQ place in Devalls Bluff doesn't look like much from the outside but it is very good! And there's a place across the street that makes fried pies. My cholesterol is going up just thinking about it.
