Ditto here....I made the trek back from deer camp for a day and a half for the holiday and then back to the woods I go.

Have a happy and safe one everyone...

I'll chime right in here as well.  This is the last weekend of general rifle season in Montana :'( and my perfect little woman has agreed that I should go hunting and miss Thanksgiving and my Birthday at home. :D  As I said, she is perfect. ;)  We will have our Thanksgiving meal next week and I'm not gonna have a birthday this year ::), so it works great.  To all my current and future friends here on GBO, have a safe and happy holiday. :-*  DP

Andy, I hope you had some clams, crabs and lobster.  Our Thanksgiving was rain, drizzle and sleet.  I carried the .357 Max all day except for Thanksgiving dinner around 2 p.m. and the rifle was a mess when I came in.  It is the first Thankgiving in 20 years I haven't seen a deer.  It is usually our luckiest of days.  I broke the Handi Max down and sprayed it with Strike Hold, wiped it down, sprayed it again and wiped it down again.  It looked like a new rifle.  I wiped the scope lens and put her up for the night.

O.K. guys, this is not a commercial.  I bought an insulated, hooded Winchester coverall from a guy on ebay.  They were only 59.99 plus 13.00 S&H new with tags.....about a 150 dollar set.  Supposed to be waterproof and breatheable.  Well, heading out this morning the old truck started spinning in the mud and wet grass, so I got out, turned the hubs and put her in 4 wheel.  When I knelt on the grass to turn the hubs, I quickly found a river under the grass.  I thought, "Oh crap, now I've got a soaker all day".  None of it came through.  With that, the rain, snow and sleet I stayed dry and ventilated all day.  I'm impressed.

Well, tomorrow is another Handi day.  I'll be out early.  It's getting late, and no new venison in the freezer.

Happy Thanksgiving to all, from S Korea.
What did you do today...for Freedom?
Today, at the front, he died...Today, what did you do? Next time you see a list of dead and wounded, ask yourself: "What have I done for freedom? What can I do tomorrow that will save the lives of men like this and help them win the war?"

Happy thanksgiving to you.  If you're a Yankee, bring home some Kim Chee to go with the turkey.  It's gotta be hot and nasty, or don't bother.

I don't know what you're doing there, but if you're one of our troops, you're greatly appreciated this Holiday Season.  Thank You.
