    I'm a State Trooper and father of 3. I enjoy being outdoors whether it is hunting or camping! I grew up butchering deer alongside my Dad and Grandpa and we started making our own sausage about the time I was an eighth grader. I enjoy smoking meats at home and have a Big Green Egg, 3 Weber Kettles, Bradley 4 rack, Grilla Grills Chimp pellet grill, Oklahoma Joe Bronco drum smoker, and various Camp Chef stoves and outdoor cooking equipment. My wife thinks I'm nuts but she doesn't complain about the food I turn out!!!

    • Interesting day at work!

      Today was one of those very interesting days. It rained most of the day and I didn’t do a lot. Then with an hour left of shift a lady was in labor less than a mile from me. To make a long story short…I got to delivery a baby today! A healthy baby boy. It makes all those really bad calls worth it! Got my stork pin!!!

    • RE: What are you hunting/fishing?

      We got hit with a snowstorm/blizzard just before the second weekend of rifle season. It made for some tough hunting this past weekend. My wife and I were sitting in a brush pile hopeful that a buck might show. With about 20 minutes left of shooting time a nice buck showed up. My wife shot and hit it but not a killing shot. We found blood and backed off until the following morning. With the help of my brothers and nephew we tracked it and finally got it. We earned this one. Lots of deep snow in some very hilly country. I was pooped after dragging this one out! This brute had a huge body and was 19 1/8 wide inside! Unfortunately a tine was shot off but the taxidermist is going to fix that. 20221113_114543.jpg

      My nephew shot this buck (his first) the day before. It was a good weekend. FB_IMG_1668440045816.jpg
      Lots of memories made this weekend. I had posted on Facebook that I love hunting and hate hunting…lol! Sometimes you just have to embrace the suck and push on through to get the reward in the end.

    • RE: What did everyone cook today?

      Finally able to do a little low and slow smoking. Did two racks of baby backs. Worked out perfect as we were doing some yard work while the ribs did their thing. It was a good meal.20220515_141320.jpg 20220515_183136.jpg

    • Picked up a new toy!

      I was bored earlier today and was looking on a local marketplace site and saw an add for a smoker. It was a Lil Tex 1400 for $60. I opened the add and it said he’d take $50 for it. I couldn’t call him fast enough. They are selling new for over $600! I can’t afford a PK100 right now so I will make this work. I plugged in to check it out and I’m rolling smoke! Score!!!

    • My Alaska trip.

      I’m sitting at the airport in Chicago after flying a redeye flight from Anchorage. Alaska is an amazing place. I will post more later after I get some sleep. Jonathon, yes we saw brown bears! We actually had a young male about 10 feet from our boat fishing salmon. I represented some Walton’s gear too while I was on the Kenai Fjords tour. I snapped a selfie at a glacier.20220615_141253.jpg

    • RE: What are you hunting/fishing?

      I was able to take Saturday and Sunday off to go deer hunting. I only had a doe tag but I’m very picky with does. I have passed on many this year. I have also gotten a bit soft hearted as I’ve gotten older. I won’t harvest a doe that has fawns with her anymore. Today I shot one but the bad thing is she was 1.5 miles from the truck in a spot where you have to drag them out. Sleep will come easy tonight and Thank God for a good game cart! It was windy as all get out today too. 15 degrees with 27 mph winds.

    • RE: What are you hunting/fishing?

      FINALLY! My son and I finally got to go out on hardwater and do some fishing. We caught about a hundred small perch with no keepers and 7 walleye with 1 keeper. It was just fun to get out!

      Tex_77 I am training in San Antonio right now so I have just caught some blurbs on it. Sounds like that bad guy was linked to a double homicide in Arizona too.
