    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...

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...

    You do not say where you live. There are some excellent folks on this site. One of them might live in or visit your neighborhood, and would help you with some “hands on” advice. I would if you lived near me. Oregon, Ohio
