    Lyme Disease & Ticks - What's your experience?

    You may never see the bullseye. I didn't. Thought I did a detailed tick check after being in the Maryland woods. I was wrong. I found the little bastard the next morning at the hairline on the back of my neck. In did look daily but the rash was never visible. About 3 months later I woke up...

    Tactacam Reveal

    So far so good. Tested the first 2 from July through September. Now we have a total of 8 out. Batteries on 1st two are at 70%, not bad as I have the setting to send pictures as they happen. Pictures are good, much better than the Spypoints we ran last year. The app is good and with recent...

    Both daughters started shooting between 3 and 4. We'd blow up and scatter balloons across the back yard. Girls would fire 22 shorts seated at the picnic. Some of the balloons had baby powder in the to add some visual. Both are now in their mid 20's, still hunt with Dad. We still play the...
