Up in Montana I cut some Douglas Fir and Yellow Pine with 6' butts like that though that one appears to be some sort of hardwood.

From the South here 👍
My grandpa & uncle owned a grocery store , I grew up on RC’s & Moon pies !
Second favorite treat was peanuts in a small bottled coke. 👌
Peanuts in a small bottle coke. Youre making me nostalgic. I remember when those little Cokes were $00.05 from the machine. Throw in a pack of Winston's and your trip to the store was complete.
 
Justin Wilson’s Cajun Cookbook has all the basics and detailed techniques for most dishes (or at least the most common ones).
Having cooked Cajun food for Cajuns I can attest it won’t steer you wrong.
I had a summer gig in HS sodding off ramps on I-10 near Baton Rouge.
The motel we stayed at had a Cajun woman cooking in the cafe next door.
I got to know her and she liked that I liked to cook. Still have some of her recipes that I use often. She gave me her shrimp creole recipe …among others that I got down pat.
We went back to Arkansas for a few days and I took her some Crappie slabs when we got back.
She made a creole using flaked off Crappie instead of Shrimp. She ate it up and made a card with OUR recipe 👌 That was quite a honor 😬
 
When I was a kid, a bunch of us had little Honda 4 strokes. Everyone would get a dollar from their mom, and we would go trail ride for several hours. A little country gas station was near there, and we would stop and get an RC and a Moonpie, and top off our tanks with the change we had left from the dollar and ride some more before going home. Good times.
 
I've got a couple girls, one of which will be able to hunt this fall. The other will still go out with me.

We've been practicing our shooting with a little Ruger 10/22 that I put in a collapsible stock, so they could get it to fit them. They are deadly with it out to 50 yards now.

I dislike starting kids on scoped rifles, but this is 2025...so maybe I should be less of a Fudd...especially since most of my rifles are scoped anyway.

We moved from shooting off a bipod, to shooting off of bags. I've got them hitting a 10" plate on every shot sitting, kneeling, and standing... shooting off of chairs etc... I don't want them becoming dependent on a bipod and rear bag. I rarely get the opportunity to use a bipod when killing critters around the ranch.

A couple weeks ago we graduated to a 5.56, but I'm only letting them shoot 1 round in a session. Bear in mind that a "session" just means walking outside and shooting, so extremely minimal setup. Still, they have smoked every milk jug, 2-liter, and 1-liter bottle I've set out for them at 80-100 yards. They can hit the part of the label that I ask them to, and haven't had to use a bipod or rear rest to do it.

Today they graduated to a shot from their 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 SPC II. If the guns look familiar, it's because I've probably killed at least 100 pigs with each on video. If you've never seen the videos... consider yourself lucky :LOL:.

Today was just a front bag off a table, no rear bag and they have to stabilize an unbalanced rifle. 113 yards (they'll be shooting at deer from 90 - 130 yards). Both of them hit the heart of Mr. Coyote on their first and only try today.

We'll be repeating this a couple times per week until September when I stop shooting here on the ranch.

It's a start...

And an end to my hunting for the next decade... :D

Totally worth it BTW.
