Went Kart Racing for the weekend, came home and these Mushrooms have taken over my yard. Always heard these were poisonous, but I’m honestly clueless as to whether that’s a fact or not.
What the heck are they?
I was a HUGE deer hunter for many years, I was fortunate enough to harvest some very nice Bucks from our Letcher County property. Then between EHD decimating our population and the Damn bear, I lost all desire to deer hunt.
I decided this weekend to at least freshen up the salt licks and put a...

With Andy’s latest overreach, some of us at work was wondering.
Is there anything saying you can’t Carry while wearing a mask? There were some that thought wearing a mask while carrying was a No-No with concealed carry, but wasn’t sure with constitutional carry.
Went for a ride on my SxS “ON not in” Pine Mountain last week, KY has a lot of beautiful scenery, but it’s hard to beat the Mountains when they are coming alive in the spring!

I have really became a fan of the 6.5 Creedmoor Cartridge, I bought a savage model 110 a few years ago and was amazed at it’s accuracy. I had it hitting a 10”x10” steel plate at 500 yards in 11 shots with factory ammo.
I decided I wanted to build a gun to reach out much further than that, so I...
