Where at in South Alabama? Condolences on your dad. Congratulations on the upcoming new one.Thanks for reviving this thread, Gary. I've been very absent this past year with so many life changes going on---after we moved to Idaho we have since moved back to the Southeast (south Alabama, only an hour from where we lived in Florida) after six months in Texas with my in-laws. I lost my dad in October (he was 75 and although his decline was swift, I got to spend some time with him before he died) and my wife is due in March with our sixth child--almost 9 years since our last! All-in-all 2023-2024 has been a HAUL. I'm hoping for a little more peace and quiet in 2025.

Thanks, Gary! I don’t get much sleep anyway, so might as well enjoy it with a little one!Thanks for the update, Joshua!
When I searched for this thread recently, I saw a photo of you and your wife in Idaho and thought to myself, "I don't even remember Joshua moving to Idaho, and I can't remember the last time I saw a post from him."
I'll hope with you that you have more "beside still waters" and "lying down in green pastures" times in 2025 compared to what the past couple of years for you sound like!
Condolences about losing your dad, and congrats on the impending addition to the family! (I guess a newborn in the house is not gonna let you get much extra sleep for 2025.)

I wish I'd had your secret Joshua!Thanks, Jack! I guess in my case raising children has made their youth rub off on me a bit. You look well in your recent photo, and I hope that has been the case in 2024 and will be in 2025.
Looks like a great place to huntI typically keep my ugly mug off the internet but here’s one. Buffalo hunting with my muzzleloader a couple years ago.
