    Garage Design

    Sounds like you pretty much have a plan but a couple things come to mind. Is it ok to have a stall deeper? Absolutely, in fact a break-up will most likely add to the curb appeal of your property. Having worked in construction I think curb appeal is always very important. Additions should not...

    Badlands mule deer

    Not an expert either but I don't think he's going to score as high as he appears. First, he's not overly wide, barely out to his ears, not past. Narrow frequently turns into shorter main beams. Does have big eye guards which will add since lots of mulies don't have them. Decent forks but I still...

    iPhone Text Scrolling Trick

    Was standing around a group of HS students when I read this. About a third of them knew that, the rest thought "Neat, thanks."

    Barnes TTSX bullets

    Many years ago I used the Barnes all copper bullet for an elk hunting trip. It was basically a Brass hollow-point in 130gr. Similar to you I thought on deer they expanded too slow and didn't drop on the spot. That is the reason I went to 110gr. even though 130 in the .270 was the Holy Grail...

    The Eagles have landed.

    I find very few animals as majestic as eagles. Fished in Alaska once and bald eagles were as common as ravens. Same experience with fish released that didn't dive down immediately. Eagles would pick them out of the water as close as 20' from the boat. Sometimes if a small roughfish was caught it...

    Poachers trespaser wall of shame

    Not quite clear. All I see is a pickup parked on a roadside. Nothing illegal yet. Did you see him/her hunting your property? If so, did you contact him/her about his/her trespassing? If pressing charges is in the picture then call the sheriff's office. Not trying to start an argument but your...

    Hak's Flyer days numbered?

    Fire GM because the owner doesn't like the W/L record. New GM needs to improve on the W/L record so if he cannot see improvement based on some personnel changes then who is next in line to blame? Pretty basic scenario in all pro sports, I guess in all sports clear down to Little League.

    Spearing house

    Not insulated but it was a 4X8 black material with a plastic black floor and factory hole for spearing. Don't know the brand.

    Spearing house

    I've been in pop-up houses and would prefer a darker atmosphere. Other than that pop-up worked fine. Already have one of those. Perhaps I'm not improving my situation enough to make it worthwhile.

    Spearing house

    Looked for previous posts but didn't find what I'm looking for. Does anyone have plans for a spearing house. If not drawings I'm looking for size for 2-4 people, mostly 2. Location of hole, built in seating or chairs, heater location and door accessability. Want it as light as possible so will...

    Barnes TTSX bullets

    Like messing some but it was mostly a result of reading reviews of the TTSX. Several suggested using the 130gr on larger game and the 110gr on deer size game as the 130gr frequently passed through before having a chance to fully expand. The ones favoring the 110gr thought because of the retained...

    Barnes TTSX bullets

    Have used the TTSX 130gr Barnes bullet in my .270 for elk with excellent results. Have wanted to try the 110gr TTSX for deer. Wish I would have tried it back when whitetail doe tags were handed out like Halloween candy to get a real test. Now, because I like to hunt mule deer the practical...

    BDC Scopes

    Don't have a BDC scope but have used the concept. Out to the 200yd range I know I can hold right on. At the 300yd range I know my gun will drop a shade over 3 inches so just hold up about 3 inches (does it really amtter if I'm an inch high or low?" At 400yd I drop about 17 inches so hold right...

    Badlands mule deer

    Been hunting deer for 54 years in ND. Season has consistently been the same time since I started hunting and before. Has always been during the rut so those of you who think all the bigger bucks get shot during that time need to explain what has changed during the time when deer seasons were...

    Badlands mule deer

    Seriously? We give out more moose and elk tags than that and those are once in a lifetime. Or perhaps you could just auction the tags and we'd see what it's really worth for somebody who only wants a chance at a BC trophy with no one to interfere with their hunt.

    Badlands mule deer

    How much has it changed? Genetics and food are 2 important parts of the puzzle. I have had ranchers tell me that their calf weight can vary from year to year, dependent on the quality of the grass. Would seem that it would affect deer as well. Weather determines the quality of the grass...

    Badlands mule deer

    Don't have an easy comparison as I haven't hunted out west much in the past few years because of no tag. The first weekend I had trouble finding deer, the second I saw lots of deer with some very respectable bucks. It also seemed like I saw more hunters than ever, even though the total number...

    Lasik

    I wouldn't be scared of the near/far option. I didn't have it done that way because I made sure the Dr. knew that good far vision was my main concern. Wanted to be able to see an animal at a distance as well as a golf ball that I hit 350 yds. (Still don't know if that part works as a 250yd drive...

    Our Ice Fishing Blunders

    Didn't happen to me but quite a few years ago I was fishing on Black Tiger Bay east of DL. No snow on the ice and 20-30 mph wind. Heard some yelling and looked out of my flipper that i had tied to a tree. A homemade portable was blowing across the lake with 2 guys standing at the door yelling...

    Chips are a bad idea.

    If she weren't eating chips she'd be talking so it probably didn't make any difference. And I'll bet she had fun.
