So I lost access to my previous blog. I had a company phone for 20 years and they allowed personal use, so I never got a personal cell phone. I was happy, used two stage authentication for my access and all. Someone offered me another job with more money and I left. I had to turn in the phone and thought I removed all the security associated with the old phone. Nope, it texts that number and the new user won’t respond to help me remove it and change it.

So I am starting over on WordPress, since I got locked out of my account. All the stuff I used to post to this blog in my past years and can found and read here. https://archeryrob.wordpress.com/ and maybe I will copy it over here. One day when I am bored, maybe, it is raining and I can’t hunt, fish or work on something.

If you are interested in archery. I used to be obsessed with making bows and arrows when younger. I found that there was pretty good information on bow making, but a lot of very poor information in books and posted on like about making quality arrows. I stared writing a book. I found I was contently adding to it and self publishing was going to be more work than I felt like dealing with. SO I posed it on a blog. You can read it here. https://boweyrsden.wordpress.com/

My most popular post was making the Coolbot clone and deer cooler. My buddy Kevin wanted to build one and i got to design it and make it work. https://archeryrob.wordpress.com/2017/11/07/deer-cooler-with-a-diy-coolbot-clone/

Next is the smokehouse that people like. I just got the itch to make one and I did. The collection of posts can be found here. https://archeryrob.wordpress.com/category/smokehouse/ Someday I plan on knocking down the fire box and make two stacked vaulted ovens. Bottom for the smoke house fire and top for a brick oven.

The lure making stuff got popular as I made templates and guys could download and copy them. https://archeryrob.wordpress.com/category/lure-making/ That all kind of fell away as I can only build so many things, have so many hobbies at one time. I still need to work, fish, hunt, tinker and of course carry out mundane tasks for my wife and spend time with her also. I need to make for inline spinners, maybe that will get posted. I never posted that stiff before.

There was a time my daughter dragged me into chicken raising. I got into chickens until it became a hassle do it all when she was “too busy” all the time. So I gave mine up and then had to get rid of hers. Maybe I’ll do them again when I have ore free time. My wife likes them as pets and doesn’t like to think of them as food. Making having them counter productive. https://archeryrob.wordpress.com/category/chickens/

Canning The few things i canned. https://archeryrob.wordpress.com/category/canning/

Most of my Wild Game cooking recipes are listed in this search section. https://archeryrob.wordpress.com/category/cooking/

Then there is the kayak section. Kayak general, Kayak Fishing and Kayak Hunting

Archery, Black powder, Hunting, Knives, reloading, shooting, and that is about it for now.

Stay happy Enjoy!!!!
