Forget your cancer - have some fun today July 4th, 2014: Between surgeries... being outdoors was the best therapy after breast cancer. As a get away a week before my 'implants' surgery, we canoed  Big Tebo Creek and shot pistols at Clinton's outdoor firing range. My sly husband switched out my .38 bullets with 357 rounds - see the fire! We had a blast hahaha!! My SINCERE THANKS to all of my friends and likes in Googlesland ! Have fun and be safe today - enjoy your families and friends and your FREEDOM!!

Bass are definitely a blast to catch and as beautiful as the artwork portrays.   It brought back this vivid memory of the froggy lure. Summer Bass     I didn't have a boat but usually didn't need one.  Fishing northern Missouri farm ponds, whenever and wherever my buddies and I fished usually produced some fine Largemouth.  I was in 'dog-heaven' fishing anytime, anywhere.      It was a very sultry, hot day in August 1996 that I decided to go fish a pond down the highway.  Only around the curve from my house a ways.  Once inside the gate off the gravel road, if it hadn't rained, my truck could easily maneuver down the slope, over the berm and be out of site from the road. Total privacy.  No trash left behind, no kids running around, no disturbance.  It was actually too damn hot of a day for most sane folks to stand on a bank sweltering in 100 degree sun.  But I was headstrong and tough, sought some adventure, tired of the indoors A/C.    

So Ya Wanna Kill a Turkey...    This post is an unprofessional, hopefully useful tale, for youngsters and you inexperienced hunters and huntresses who might enjoy hunting with Gramma or Grandpa or a mentor.  It's sure a heck of a lot more fun for us oldies to have you tag along, as long as you don't talk with a bird in sight!  We all love to personally guide you.      Maybe you are relying on your own vehicle, possibly a handed down or loaner shotgun.  You don't have a clue what to do, what to wear or where to go to hunt.  Those eager salesclerks will be all in your face to sell the latest garb, maybe you'll need and more 'n likely won't.. it's just their job to try.   YouTubes, and any online sources and magazines to give you sound reasonable heads-up how to kill a turkey.  You can learn firsthand from Gramma and Granpappy what to wear, the rest is up to you how to go 'bout learning turkey hunting.  First off, it's nothing like deer hunting,
