" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

That's not a tent, that's a Taj Mahal!  You may need two wood stoves in that thing.  I want one!

Looks like fun.  What were you fixing in the oven?  Chili?
We had a nice cornbread and peach cobbler a few weeks ago... then a cherry cobbler last weekend.
Blueberries are starting to ripen in the backyard... mayble a blueberry cobbler needs to happen this week.
