Passing time???
 

Was just curious what everyones plans are for the passing of spring? I plan on spending lots of time scouting the new swamp spot and possibly building a nice elevated ground blind for me and dad to share hunts out of. I have to get the new feeder set up and have the mounting post all made, hopefully the ground will be thawed enough for me to dig the hole for it. I also have the new .204 ruger that I plan on fine tuning a hand load for it, never found the right one last summer. As far non hunting is concerned, I may plan on going back up to the Maumee river for the walleye run. Have done it some and its alot of fun. As far as non hunting is concerned I am currently in a welding class for AWS certification. I have my stick welding down and am currently working on TIG welding aluminum and stainless. I am really surprised at how fun the TIG is. Hopefully if all my ducks line up just right I will have a Vortex by my birthday and that will consume my summer until deer season gets here! So what are all your plans for the off season? The only one I can think of is all the work ranger has to do on his porch. Anyone one else have any plans?

i like to garden so that takes up a lot of time in the spring. i always save some time for perch fishing. also have a horse that thinks his sole purpose in life is to eat grass. i need to teach him how to be a horse this spring.:)

Well i really want to do some fishing cause ain't no turkeys anywhere close by. Plus i figure my Mrs. will have 492 honey do's on a weekly basis![&o]

RE: Passing time???
 

I'll be making strings, puttering around the cottage, working, chasing turkeys around and drinking stuff with alcohol in it. Oh yeah, I will be shooting my new Hoyt Vulcan! Yessssssssssss!

Turkeys, fishing, camping, and probably some work..

Well I won the lottery so I'm going to DisneyWorld! Then, buy a new house in England. Go on a two month cruise. Buy a 1000 acres of prime deer land. Buy 15 new crossbows. Find a new, young wife. Hire a full time professional deer hunter to just sit around and talk hunting with me all day. Buy a thousand head of filet mingon cows. Grow a field full of baked pototas.
Other than that, I'll just be a little lazy until deer season rolls around.
Oh, and early April Fool on winning the lottery!

Well, gotta lot of meeting scheduled w/ patent attorneys for what was formerly known as the "Buddy Bo Gotta Go" which will be sold as "Dan's Can". Got my garden tilled today but don't have near enough fertilizer, kinda ironic, me short on bs!! Had a great 1/2 rib-eye off the grill for supper, can't afford filet mignon til the Dan's Cans hit the market.

For you new folks, the Buddy Bo Gotta Go was a novel if uncaptured idea by BBO for taking two lids for 2 litre pop bottles, drill a 1/2" hole in them before epoxying them together, then cut one 2 litre bottle in half [works like a funnel] whilst screwed to the other 2 litre pop bottle. You just cap the one that don't leak and haul it out w/ ya!! [Don't forget the third cap!!] Thanks, Buddy, kinda feel like I hit the lottery!!!

Thanks for the great replies guys and it's good to see most of us have some plans. The TIG welding is really picking up at school and that is alot of fun, been thinking of all kinds of things I can weld up just to show off. Thinking of cutting a pop can in half in class on Monday to see if I can put it back together!

RE: Passing time???
 

Hotburn being how I have a miller mig/alum welder and you want a knife made in the US of A....You buy me a Tig welder and I will give you a knife thats made in the USA .....

RE: Passing time???
 

I already put that idea to rest after the first class. My wife bought me a Lincoln AC/DC Buzz box a while back and I thought that price was steep. Them TIG welders start out more then I could even think of, at least if I wish to stayed married and not be shot for spending that kind of money!!! I am just glad I work for a company that is pretty cool about letting us do government work on our off time.

RE: Passing time???
 

I hear ya...I paid 2,100.00 for the Miller it was used but looked bran new,I think the guy used it once or twice and got board with it(tuff to be rich).I think new its around 3 grand.

I’m planning on getting a new hunting rifle for Coyotes and chasing them around when I can. Also want to take my boys fishing as much as possible. That’s one thing that my three boys and myself get to enjoy together. Two of them will play baseball so I’ll be going to practice and games quite a bit. I would like to build a tree stand / tree fort at the back of my property for the kids to play in and me to hunt out of. A lot of deer come out of the woods behind my house and pass through the back of my property so the tree stand would give me a chance to hunt more. I didn’t get to do much of that at all last year. One thing I won’t be doing is running my photography business. I work enough hours as it is and two jobs just aren’t necessary. Gotta live first.

RE: Passing time???
 

Working and trying to spend alot of time with my future wife(september 07) so that by the time hunting season roles around she's so sick of me i can spend as much time hunting as possible!
