    Last summer I picked up a Kestrel wind checker for $3 and sold for $100. Also got a set of three 9' Carlisle breakdown driftboat oars for $30. A MEC Jr 12ga press NIB for $20. I look forward to spring cleaning sales. I need to sell off some stuff to fund new acquisitions.

    Saw the first buck without his antlers this year. Might be time to search for my first shed. There was a great three point around last week. Would love to find his headgear.
