Thanks Bob. Here are a few of my favorite pines related pictures of Bill. Bill was always a deer hunter in the pines but he started riding Harleys in the pines 1946, competed in enduros in 1947 and entered his first Sandy Lane Enduro in 1949. That's a long time ago. Most people who know even a...

Yesterday my good friend and mentor for all things outdoors, Bill Schemel, a.k.a. Y Buc Bill on this site, passed away at the age of 92 after a brief fight with cancer. I will miss him dearly. He was like a grandfather to me and I have been his friend since for over 32 years. Bill sat next to me...

I'm gettin' skeered !

Here's the trip report from the PBX hike that I put together 9 years ago. It was called Bog Slog. Unfortunately, all of the photo links are dead. Another point of sadness is that the reservoir used to be fairly easy to access from West Mill Road. But that has changed due to a certain gate that...

I just blocked my foundation vents from the outside last week. I have 4 in one section of the house. One vent is right next to the oil tank. My crawlspace entry is an adventure in itself. I have a hatch in our walk in closet floor under the carpet and under the clothes racks.

My tank is a 275 gal. horizontal in a crawl space and I have never had an issue with gelling or icing and my filter is in the house at the base of the heater. I do worry about the fuel line pathway though which comes out of the crawl, runs underground 12" deep for about twenty feet and comes...

There are a lot of additives out there. Here is one from Home Depot: https://www.homedepot.com/p/32-oz-Fuel-Oil-Sludge-Treatment-35310/100145488 I use Power Service fuel conditioner in the winter in my diesel pickup. Even though diesel fuel is winterized at the refineries, it certainly doesn't...

I was just out muzzleloading, sitting along a frozen ditch, under a blowdown, in the middle of a 100 acre field. The conditions felt similar to Mt. Washington by the end of shooting light tonight. Let 14 different does walk and glassed a nice buck out of range that vanished along with the...

Ask the Man who started it all ! :) https://www.algore.com/project/the-climate-reality-project Oh, and thank him for inventing the Internet too ! It sure is swell !

Ahhhh, the Chevette. One of America's first disposable cars. :) The owner's manual should have told you to put it out at the curb when done !

It is obvious that Texas takes their fish and game laws very seriously. Hopefully, others who would be predisposed to breaking the laws there will have second thoughts. Wildlife is a resource that provides benefits to the public as a whole, not just hunters and managing hunting through law is...

They paid the ultimate price for exercising extremely bad judgement. I feel more sad for the unborn child.

Sound like him in heap trouble. :)

ManahawkinMike has a nice ring to it.

The link that Slingblade posted included slides taken from a Pinelands short course Powerpoint presentation on Coyotes. I have complete faith that the course instructor Andrew Burnett from NJ F&W discussed in detail the inanity of the insurance company and NJ F&W importation theories listed on...

The smart, somewhat lazy and budget-minded hunter finds someone else's bait pile and then sets out upon the very simple task of determining how the deer travel to and from the pile. One then just places their portable stand along one of the routes. You may not make a lot of new friends doing...

Ahhhh, it most be the holiday spirit ! Heart warming.

In my opinion, club hunting is safer now than it used to be due to the advent of the portable climbing tree stands and hunter orange requirements. When I was a kid and came across clubs in the woods all of the standers were on the ground. You had to rely on the safety consciousness of the...

Shot on a drive by a 16 year old. Treated and released. http://philadelphia.cbslocal.com/2017/12/07/maurice-river-hunting-accident/

I installed the newest version of Garmin's Bluechart in my 60CSX last summer because I lost my original 60CSX a few years ago and my Bluechart was in it. :( Several website FAQ responses said it would work in my unit so I ordered it. That same day I had sent an email to Garmin asking that same...
