2 Sundays ago on the way to church, Mrs. File said- " this whole No-shave November thing.... couldn't you just trim up your neck a little bit like the other guys with beards?"
Me- Then It wouldn't be "No-Shave November."
This Sunday on the way to church, Mrs. File said- "If you'd just trim it up a bit, I could see what it's supposed to look like, 'cause right now it's just an unmanaged blob on your face..."
hurmphfffff- I cling the Red Green Axiom of "if they don't find you handsome, at least they find you handy."
couple of corners I found out hunting. 
about the only thing I could read on this was 1969....
couple corners set by Keith Williams in 1972.
little Buck I shot--- His purpose is bbq backstrap and burger for taco Tuesdays....
I couldn't quite make out the dimples.

not to bust your ba**s but that has to be the smallest buck I have ever seen. We would call that a "tucker" as you could get it out of the woods by "tucking" it under your arm

The rifle is six feet long 😉
FWIW after I shot my first "big" buck at fourteen, my grandfather said; "Good, you got that out of the way; now start picking out the tender looking ones"
I bet Keith accepted that fence corner for the C1/4;)

The old-timers would smack me over the head for shooting a trophy-----"can't eat those old things, leave them for the stupid dudes".

A surveyor I used to work for would say "I haven't found a recipe for antler stew yet"
Off topic but my favorite quote from him was "only thing you can do right with gloves on is piss your pants"

Ummm... Just out of curiosity how do you keep the fleas, redbugs, lice, spaghetti sauce, Grits, BBQ sauce, chitlin dribbles, etc out of that thing ? 😉
My otherwise impeccable hygiene....

I cant speak to the insect issue, but as for the food related items. I've found that using utensils, and generally not being raise by wolves, goes a long way towards not getting food all over yourself like a four year old. 😉
That said, at 54 I still wont eat anything with red sauce while wearing a white shirt.
I had a smaller one. My intent was to shoot momma as she came up the draw. Just as she was ready to step into my shooting lane some one else shot at her and she took off a flying. I never saw the other hunter and from my veiwing area he was probably too far away to even attempt his shot. Be that as it may, junior was lagging behind momma and had no clue what was going on. He started after momma and stopped and pranced a little bit, started again and made a 90?ø left turn and stopped and pranced again. He started a third time made another 90?ø, pranced again and stood there. I had lost track of how far away from me he ended up and he looked big enough in the scope. Being tired of all his happy prancing I squeezed one off. As soon, too soon, as I got to him I realized I had not much to show for my only antlerless tag. I tied all 4 legs together and carried him out like a purse. That is when I learned 2 small ones can taste a lot better than 1 big one.
I might shave this week for Thanksgiving and then again for Christmas. The last shave of the year is the tough one as the day after Christmas I look forward to a 5 week flintlock season and that cold snow on a bare face for the first week takes a little of the pleasure away.

In my best Kent McMilan vernacular, SO, would you know how to utilize cutlery at a black tie event (White Dinner Jackets)?
Say for instance six forks on the left and 4 knives and three spoons on the right. 😉

When in doubt, start with the one on the outside and work your way toward the plate as the courses progress. Or carry your own plastic spork for every course, thus being a gentleman and relieving the help of any superfluous cutlery washing.
More importantly, after dinner one passes the Port to the left.

well the rancher accepted Keith's C1/4 for an achor..... The notes show they recovered a fair number of the early stones -mostly quartzite, just high desert range mostly- no cultivation- but there is one corner where he accepted the fence corner for a section corner.

That is always scary, two hunters shooting at the same Deer. Were you in a stand or on foot?

Yes, a must for dining on Beef Wellington. The Port is served by the wine steward, no need to handle the bottle unless you want a big slug first. :p

You must be doing quite well, business wise; I can't afford a wine steward at my house 😉
