Never thought....

I'd see the day that I'd be heading to school at my age... start my Heavy Equipment single piece course on Monday. All I can afford for now.

Re: Where do we draw the line?

My son and I have taken our fair share of deer .We hunt on public land mostly. None of our deer are on the wall, but they are all trophys to us. We do get razzed by some people, when we bring in a doe or small buck. But thats their problem ,they just don't get it , or they watch to many hunting sho...
