I've been to one. Seems like they just focus on telling people what they want to hear and not what they need to hear,.

I’m not mad enough at the squirrels this year to hunt.



I do my scouting when I squirrel hunt. I find the acorns really start getting hammered on the 3rd week of October. If I find some hot trees I'll start deer hunting earlier but I enjoy the hell out of my squirrel hunts, especially on cool mornings.

Yeah a few places. Sherburne used to be really good but I haven't squirrel hunted there in a couple of years. Cat Island and Tunica Hills are good. Be ready to climb some hills if you go to Tunica. Used to do well at Pearl River, too. Yancy is a little further but also good.
Nah, I've always felt bad for them. They can't ever seem to maintain success for more than a couple of seasons. The last 5 years were a fluke for them. They're a lot like Moo State but without realistic expectations like the cowbells.

College Football is a lot more fun when Ole Miss is good.

I'll probably be making a few squirrel hunts if the seasons open, havent looked at the regs yet. I dont usually deer hunt around the house until I can shoot does.
If God gets involved with the outcomes of football games and deer hunts what makes you think he couldnt get involved with the ark?

I make myself run or walk as soon as I get out of bed. Even if it's a half a mile I still do something. It usually sucks but it helps me stay disciplined. I'm the type who needs structure and I remind myself that I'll start to fall apart if I slip up on discipline.

re: Sharpening Magnacut blade

Posted by Loup on 9/28/26 at 3:05 pm to
I have a rat 1.5 in Magnacut. I keep a strop handy and after I use it a couple of times I'll touch it up on the strop while I'm watching TV. I haven't put a stone on it in a couple of months and it'll still take hair off. Takes about a minute.

Do I just need to adjust my expectations of an EDC blade holding its sharpness longer than 3 months


Probably. I had a Spyderco with Maxemet steel and it never kept an edge as long as I hoped for, either. The only knife that exceeded my expectations is a Benchmade Hidden Canyon with S90V steel. I can skin a deer and it'll still shave after. I still strop it after use, though. I can go a long time without having to get my sharpener out just by taking a minute to strop.
Probably 10 gallons. Wife won't let me throw it away because matching colors is difficult or some sh*t. We live in a 1000 sf house so it's not exactly a lot to paint but a 10x10 bedroom takes her about 3 business days to paint.
I didn't do it because I needed an ego boost but because I was aggravated with my realtor for trying to show me homes outside of what budget I told him and knew it'd waste his time.
Awesome! I have a couple on the Bell's I got earlier this year as well. Is that at peak ripeness? I have no idea when to pick these things.

I had to move it to my front yard because the dogs were starting to get interested. Hopefully the deer don't get them before I do.




Mealy bugs on my guava. These are all over my beauty berry and shrimp plant as well. Since the fruiting is done for the year I'm thinking of doing an imidacloprid soil drench on it. They were so bad on my shrimp plant that I cut it back to the dirt.

My retriever would grab it and never give it back.

There is nothing he will not do for me to throw the ball, except actually give me the ball back.


mine has learned to smack the hell out of me with her frisbee if I'm not paying attention.
Pork and chicken first, sausage next. I pretty much turn the pork/chicken into cracklins then only lightly brown the sausage.
No different levels. Fat people get the same punishment as murderers.

I was looking at a ground blind in Academy the other day and heard a deer blow at me. They dont work well here, even when you brush them in.

A lock-on or saddle with climbing sticks gives you so many more options



Yup. Id still prefer a good climber like the summit viper or lone wolf hand climber to a crappy lock on/saddle setup. Once i actually spent some money and got a good saddle/sticks/pack I got rid of most of my climbers, though. Those summits are hell when you're walking through tickets.
