By Josh Snader. Josh is Matt’s brother and as such has a similar vein of humor (which many people refer to as “strange”). He blogs on FacepalmHero.com and Stupend.us. This may cause some surprise and maybe even alarm to those of you who saw me attempt acrobatics before, but I have performed what may have […]
Sad to say, our pig hunt was a failure. No wild hogs showed up. However, a coyote that looked like a wild hog did. Around midnight I got up, worried that while I was trying to sleep herds of wild pigs were milling around the chicken house. It was a brisk 39 degrees, and wearing […]
Note: My laptop computer gave out, so these blog entries are a bit belated. A few weeks ago I was checking prices on generators, I wanted to get a 7,000 watt Honda with an automatic start. The going price for them is around $4,000. In the meantime we were also checking out motor homes. It […]
I want to say a big “Thank You” to everyone who has ordered books! We are sold out of books, and I have placed an order for several thousand with a publisher located in New York. (proof that despite my complaints about NY’s oppressive regulations, I don’t hate the people in the state) The second […]
When outfitting your ATV, there are many options to consider. Winches, oversized tires, gun racks, snorkel kits, etc. While those are fine things to consider, the feature I found most useful with my 4 wheeler was a 140 quart Igloo ice chest. Like most great inventions, I discovered this by accident. The fateful night that […]
I have a theory that “you can never find a cheap vehicle when you need one”, thus you need to buy cheap vehicles whenever you see them for sale. This allows you to have a few handy spares. However this week that theory was shot full of holes. (or at least proven to have a […]
For lunch today I ate moose for the first time. If nobody would have said anything I would have assumed I was eating beef. Not bad for wild game, I will certainly buy a moose tag next hunting season. Where did this particular moose come from? Why we got it given to us by the […]
People keep wondering how we are doing, and if that laptop did end up under the trailer tires. The good news is we made it to Alaska, I’m actually warming up to Windows 8 a little, the bad news is we got a ticket along the way. (not for speeding, with that huge trailer) I […]
Sunday afternoon we finally left Middleburg, Pa, for Anchor Point, Alaska. Currently we are camping somewhere in Wisconsin. If you ever drive through here, make sure to stop at “Culvers”, it’s the best fast food place I have ever eaten at. The chain is mostly located in Wisconsin. Due to snow concerns on the Alcan […]
Thursday of this week, April 25th, I had the chance to go with Paul Weaver of Beavertown Guns & Grocery to pickup some sporting goods from one of his wholesalers, Jerrys Sporting Goods, near Scranton, Pa. (I enjoy hanging out with store owner tycoon types like Paul, it makes me feel important) Naturally we drove […]
We finally got the camoflauge done on the limo, we added a few layers of leaves and twigs. You can also see the subtle lettering we put on the side for “AmericanGunDogs.com”. Currently the limo is parked across the street from Beavertown Guns and Groceries, along 522 just outside of Beavertown. (one of my favorite […]
We used to have a dog we named “Stinky”. He was a stray dog that showed up at our place one day, and well, the way he earned his name should be self explanatory. Your welcome to read the article I scanned, which ran on the front page of the Ephrata Review, on May 11, […]
Here you can see my first stage of camo. It does seem to have a big of negative effect on the class factor, but I figure a nice brush guard off of a Crown Victoria police interceptor will compensate. I want to add a few more leaf prints, like a few hundred more, before putting […]
Our limo camo project is proceeding, today I ran a few tests, you can see the progress in the picture below. Friday we plan to shoot the whole thing, still working on a pattern I like. First the chrome comes off, as chrome and camo do not mix. For a practical person like myself, I […]
I woke up this morning with a new limousine in my driveway. Well, it’s not quite new, in a year or two I can put classic tags on it. Now some uneducated folks might ask “what on earth are you doing with a limousine?!”, since I’m not a politician or an agent for the Amish […]
Imagine this scenario that plays out sometimes at Beavertown Guns and Grocery: (some minor details have been embellished for perspective) An enormous, muscular man strides in. His shirts says “2012 Alligator Wrestling Finalist”. His leather pants have grizzly bear teeth marks in them. His steel toed kevlar boots have an authoritative “clump, clump” as he […]
I was out rabbit hunting a week or two ago with my good friend Paul Weaver, of Beavertown Guns & Grocery, and my dog “Noodles” (unfortuantly when I named this dog I didn’t realize how stupid I would sound in the field when I called it) and we ran across this imprint in the snow. […]
