I'm another guy ; if this was closer I'd be attending . I've been around Paul Antczak , he is the real deal . I think he said he has about 400 acres in remote Montana , and lives off the grid . he's a trapper , including a wolf trapper . I attended the " fur takers of America ...

I take care of Sally , then I get a shower and give myself a good look over . even then I'll find one on me after a short time , usually not dug in though . this is an everyday thing , if we walk in the woods . the worst day I've had was 14 imbedded , kind of takes the fun out of...

we did a couple hour walk this morning and Sally got covered in ticks . I probably picked 10 or 15 off her before we got in the truck . on the 15 minute ride home , I was picking them off my pants and flicking them out the window . got her out of the truck at home picked probably 4 or 5 off...

about a year ago , I screwed up . I think it was midway usa had 8 pound jugs of Grand for something like $275 , and I passed . still kicking myself over this dumb move . ☹️

I've read a few times about Browning actions being twisted trying to remove the BBL . heating them up is probably the answer .

you could ask Alaska Big Game outfitters for references , keep in mind if they supply the reference it will most likely be positive . have a list of questions you would like to ask , sometimes I go blank when I'm talking with someone like this . or better yet get another guy from...

here's another one , that's interesting to me . hope you guys like this stuff , or tell me to stop ...

I understand , cabin fever gets to all of us .
