    Shotshell Ammo Prices

    If the war in Ukraine gets any hotter, we are likely to see even higher prices, if we can find ammo at all. For about 3 years during Vietnam, we could not even find 12g 1 1/4 any size shot. This was in both Sandusky & Toledo, Ohio. About 4 months after Nixon got sworn in as potus, voila - all of...

    Mid-Size Pickup Truck

    I live 3 miles from the Lake Erie shore & I am a charter captain so I work on the lake & park within 100 yds of the shore when at work, so I travel the lakeshore frequently. Normally it is windy, as windy as w Kansas. Normally it is a crosswind driving home, going west.

    Mid-Size Pickup Truck

    That particular day there was almost no wind. Even 15 miles out in Lake Erie there was hardly even a ripple! I pulled out on Lake Road right behind 3 tree trimming trucks. The last one had a large box on it for holding wood chips & broke up what air resistance there was. The Screw actually...

    2 of us hunted there about 12 yrs ago in early oct. For 3 1/2 days. Got rained out halfway thru the last day. We took 6 dogs & stayed in the horsemens part of the campground. At that time there was a warning not to drink the water as it had lead in it. Nice campground. I took the dishes in the...

    Spring Turkey

    All pretty simple stuff. I like it best on the grill. I have cooked it whole, or filleted the breast, but it is best if you cut it into 1/2” thick slices. I have eaten it with just salt & pepper & rubbed up with butter. Now I rub it with avocado oil & season it with Goya adobo. I add some...

    Grouse and Woodcock tips

    For grouse: If it is a good Beechnut year, concentrate on Beech stands near thicker cover, the thicker the better. Greenbriar & blackberry thickets. If you can find a thorn-apple thicket, it will be good for both grouse & woodcock. Abandoned apple orchards too. Find “flats” in the mts/hills...
