Coffee Club
How cool is this? I just sat down with my 1st cup of hot morning elixir, opened up BYC and found the coffee club. The kids and their families all came for Thanksgiving weekend. Everyone will be packing up and heading home today. I told them all I'm up early and coffee starts at 6:00 AM...- Piefoot

Entry #2 Turkey Hunting has been a lifelong love of mine. We're limited to only a few weeks during the spring turkey season and wild turkeys can be a challenge. I think what makes this so enjoyable for me is the challenge itself. The wily turkey can be difficult to fool. Over the years...- Piefoot
