    Bump Stock Ban

    I originally bought one, never put it on a rifle. It’s not that I can’t afford to shoot with it on but just didn’t have the want to use it. I bought it because I enjoy firearms and shooting and maybe one day when family and friends are together it would be fun to put it on and blast some ammo...

    Cattle in Plots

    Just speaking from my experiences and thoughts on the cattle grazing and helping wildlife. I have a quarter of pasture land mostly draws and native grassland that I was trying to establish more trees on. I was just hand planting clusters and wanted to give the trees a chance for the roots to...

    Bump Stock Ban

    I really don’t understand how they can confiscate something that was purchased lawfully without compensation for the item.

    Deer Baiting Ban

    I don't quite understand the people that complain about the neighbors to them baiting. If they are pulling deer to their land from yours, hunt the travel corridor and let them pay to bring the deer to you. I've had guys hang stands just up the travel route from where I was baiting, about 20...

    advisory meetings

    Has anyone found a good bait for mule deer besides maybe an alfalfa field. Maybe if I could grind up some sage. I’ve never had a mule deer come to a bait pile. My area is predominantly white tails but there is mule deer around and I never see them at corn just passing by. I think I was told...

    advisory meetings

    I personally know my success rate is about the same, maybe slightly higher with baiting. What I do know is that my percentage of lost and wounded deer has gone down. Before bating my shots were usually longer and i'll be honest I screwed up sometimes. with bait my shot is usually 20 yards...

    advisory meetings

    First year that I've put food plots in for a long time. I also bait, the pheasants, squirrels, turkeys, and blue jays appreciate the bait as well. In my findings and opinion, Big bucks hit the bait at night, you might be able to get them there but mostly the bait brings in does and little...

    Dry needling - Is it voodoo ?

    I will say that most of the soreness has worn off already, the pain from the injury is still there but I didn't expect this to go away immediately. From what I can gather from therapist and the chiro is its either a pulled muscle that healed wrong or a herniated/bulged disc, so I cant imagine...

    Grain free food

    We switched to taste of the wild food a couple years ago and the dogs seem to eat less and crap less and all seem healthy. Growing up on the farm the dogs ate the cheapest stuff we could buy and they seemed to live plenty long as long as they didn’t get run over first. Lately I’ve been...

    Dry needling - Is it voodoo ?

    Had it done for the first time at physical therapy yesterday. Back of my thigh down towards my knee. Cant say if it worked or not, more sore last night and today than before but she said that is common. Will give it a few more tries. Didn't even feel the needles going in, but the electricity...

    Maceration for European Mounts

    I would think 1500 watts in a semi insulated container would do plenty fine but that’s out of my league figured it would be easier to have more power and regulate then not enough. The heating elements are dirt cheap. I think I was in $25 for mine including the bucket, glue, element. Took an...

    Group buy?

    I don’t think the recoil is bad at all but it’s gotten a couple people pretty bad. Could be because I always had the scope on 22x. Now the noise, that’s a different story. Messed up one time and took the hearing protection out trying to listen to the guys doing the spotting and forgot to put...

    Group buy?

    I would be in for 100. I need to just go to the gun ranges the last two weekends before deer season and charge $20 a shot and another $20 to not show the video of them to everyone of them bleeding from the scope busting them up. I never thought the rifle kicked bad but for some reason some...

    Group buy?

    Honestly wish I would have seen a Black Friday deal like that. Was young and dumb with extra money to burn. It doesn’t get shot very often any more since the scopes been allocated to another rifle. Usually it’s just someone who wants to say they shot a 50.

    Maceration for European Mounts

    I wonder if a guy could use a 1500 watt water heater element or two to keep the temp up. I built my own buck boiler with one water heater element that works great for one skull at a time, probably could have used a bigger bucket and fit more than one in. Keeps the water at a nice rolling boil...

    Garage Design

    In the shop that my dad had built we tinned the whole inside, we kept the windows low because we like looking out them even though higher windows let in more light. We also ran all of the electrical in conduit on the outsides of the wall incase we ever want to add or need to fix an electrical...

    BDC Scopes

    My road warrior/walking gun is my 257 weatherby topped with a plain crosshair weaver scope with 100gr tsx's zeroed at 2.8” high at 100, this will pretty much give me a hit in an 8" vital zone with a center aim point out to almost 400 yards. Basically its my gun for when I don't have time to...

    Vacuum sealers and bags

    I have the VP112 for 6+ years now I think. Paid for itself I feel in cost of bags alone. When we have large groups processing meat it seems like the other brand units always have problems and mine just keeps working. I have had to replace some parts on it such as seals and I replaced the seal...

    ‘Tis the Season for Trophy Birds

    Birmanstudios.com has always treated me well. He might be backed up by now though. Worth a check and definitely does good work. We ended up shooting some good looking scaup, redhead, ringneck, and bufflehead. Could have shot a lot more scaup but don’t need another for the wall. We missed a...
