Re: Back to the future….return of the Delorean!

The anemic performance killed it…. THIS, and John Delorean's arrest for drug trafficking, and the car's price tag that was double what they had planned. I don't think most people know how dreadfully slow and poor performing they were. The Volvo/Peugeot/Renault V6 is not known for performance with overrated 130 HP. In ‘81 what cars were fast? The smog and emissions add ons were choking down any HP.

Re: Duck blind question

I’m looking for some kind of easy mobile blind. That blind a built was simi-mobile, I designed it so it could break down easy with wood screws and fit in my truck, I broke it down and moved it 4 times. If you are wanting something real easy set up/break down each hunt, layout blind is your best bet or natural cover and dead or cut limbs/brush. I hunt public 100% of the time, and normally can always find natural cover and maybe add to it a little. The key I have found is to have cover for your face, and I don't mean face paint or mask, but being able to hide your face behind brush. This can be accomplished with a stick in the ground, and vegetation on top, like pic below. I put my face between me and the ducks and they don't see me. If ducks fly over head, I don't need a roof, put my face down and lean into the brush, they don't see me. Thank you for sharing the picture. From what I can tell you are piling brush on top of each other and using it as sort of a ground blind?

Interesting comments about levers being novelties. I've pretty much only hunted with lever action Marlins for 35 years. Throw in the occasional 760 pump or 700 bolt Remingtons on occasion. For me, the 35 Remington, 45-70 and 44 magnum calibers are practical, classy and lethal. And all fun when handloaded. 336 / 1894 / 1895 are the centerfire rifles I dreamed of as a kid in the early 80s and they put a smile on my face every time I pick one out to take into the woods.
While there are hundreds of other configuration and caliber options available, none of them speak to me more than my trusty Marlins.
Like many of you guys, I remember when we could get these dirt cheap whether new or used. I'm glad I did most of my purchasing back when they were more reasonable... although will admit purchasing JM Marlins over the past 5 years for much more than that.

Re: Big Bend vacation

If you do the Camino Real there is scenic overlook down to the river right before you get into Terligua (there is placards showing history of indigenous people), and it is great view! Walk back to east side of the rocks and look on southern exposure and you may be able to make out the word DOM. It was etched into the rock making the movie Fandango with Kevin Costner Years back. If youre into Geocaching you can take dirt road drive upthat was one of them. River was low just over month ago and you could walk across many places and they were posted with warnings. If you go to Presidio there not much other than Ft Leaton and only couple motels on this side of the river, crossing you have more options for food and rooms if thats what you want to do. If you want exciting drive and your in the truck take the farm market road south from Marfa down to Ruidosa. 30 miles paved then dirt road with private land on both sides, dirt section is just over 20 miles and can take about 45 minutes to and hour to drive, Pinto Canyon Ranch road. After leaving Presidio you can dirt road it up to Big Bend Ranch park head quarters and maybe Casa Piedras way. I like that country but not dead of summer!
