2010 Toyota Tacoma TRD

The 2010 Toyota Tacoma is one nice truck; one that may be the replacement for my 2007 Jeep Wrangler. With a list of standard options, this truck is one solid package. It gives you everything the sportsman would need, towing, comfort, excellent four wheel drive and a power outlet in the box. The gas mileage is as good as you'll find in a rugged "true four wheel drive" truck.

The great outdoors and photography.......

I spent the weekend up north of Huntsville on the weekend and couldn't resist the opportunity to snap a couple of photos. The blanket of snow, the shadows and the sunshine created a canvas like photo.

Another successful hunt........


Well after collecting wood and unloading and stacking it in the woodshed I thought it was time for me to bag my deer. I left the saw at  the house, took the quad back to my grandmothers favorite stand, put out some feed, and climbed in the blind. Situated in the blind I felt the wind hitting me in the face. I thought to myself.......perfect, they will approach me from behind the blind. I no sooner got that thought out of my head.............and there he was right beside me..........25 feet.....wait for him to look the other way.......the rest is history. Nice little six point!

Stihl Chainsaws now have a Deer call Model......called the 034"D" for deer

Well this was one of those hunts that you hear about but don't always experience. We were out cutting firewood, I was running the saw dropping a standing dead Cherry. I turned around and noticed the two guys I was with...........they were standing on the trail about fifty feet away. I noticed one of them down removing his gun from his guncase on the back of the quad. I'm thinking what the heck are they doing, this is no time to sight in your gun. I keep cutting up firewood..............bang! Ok; I shut the saw off and say "What the hell are you guys shootin at?" Their answer......."A deer.....a buck in fact" This buck came trotting right down the trail towards them and wasn't even aware of them, and not at the least scared by the saw. What a marketing slogan............"Our saws attract deer!"
