    retail ammo supply~

    I'm curious, do you believe that they've increased their margin significantly, or do you believe they've experienced a price increase from the manufacturer? If it's their private-label stuff produced by Fiocchi, I seem to recall Italy bearing the brunt of CV-19. If you're talking about...

    ML tag

    I wouldn't spend $$ to go to a concert when I can buy an artist's songs on I-tunes, but, I do have a ML for that once in a while when I draw a ND ML buck tag. Everybody has their "thing" when it comes to opening their wallet.

    I suspect what you're hearing about is actually product lines that protect their dealers like Matthews Archery. Matthews essentially gives their dealers exclusivity by keeping them somewhat distant from each other. There are cities where Scheels has been on the outside looking in in that...

    retail ammo supply~

    Likely the difference between local vs. centralized ordering/control. I'd be interested to hear more about this "bullying" technique.

    Lemme guess, you ground a needle-diameter high spot onto the rotors and prayed for a very short return?

    Switching hitch ball sizes

    AL draw-bars to save a bunch of weight and honest-to-goodness grease on the draw-bar shaft and lock-pin. Use the lock-pin-retainer that Allen posted as well.

    Careful Buying Fuel Filters...Big Brother is Watching!

    I suspect one could order a trainload of fuel/oil filters and never get a door knock. However, if one ordered a few filters and then some thread adaptors to allow fuel/oil filters to be adapted to say 1/2x20, 5/8x24, or 3/4x24, at that point, you should be expecting Black Suburbans/helicopters...

    New trolling motor batteries

    I've gotten 6yrs each out of 2 sets of Fleet Farm AGM's. Spring of '19 I bought Sam's Club Durcacell AGM's and I expect similar life out of them.

    Barrels are "wear items" just like brake pads and tires. For the most part, ~$700 + 3-5 wks and you're back up and running. If you need a specific/specialty bbl taper it might take a bit longer, but, it should be easy enough to budget the necessary time ahead of time. Short of physical damage...

    Piscifun reels?

    Earlier this summer I installed my last coveted Japanese production Shimano Stradic upon a new jigging rod. I've owned a couple of the newer Malaysian produced Stradics and they're of no comparison to the Japanese production models. I've been hunting for a Japanese Stradic replacement for...

    I shoot @ 100yds just enough to get close to "on-target" @ 200yds, that's where my "work" starts. If the stock is a B&C Medalist w/AL bedding block, I'd skim bed it w/JB weld or whatever bedding compound you prefer. I can feel the vibration between AL and steel in both HS and B&C AL block...

    Bait casting setups

    You shut your filthy pirate hooker mouth!! If I have to start paying full price for left-side retrieve bait casters there's not a "Holler" in the South that's deep or remote enough that I won't find you..............

    Bait casting setups

    Most casting w/spinning rods that I see is a 2-handed affair needing a lot of effort. Jigs/plastics would be an exception, they don't take nearly the effort that a small/light crank bait does.

    Bait casting setups

    It's not even close to fair for the spinning-rod folks. Especially if you're talking any extended period of time/number of casts. Bait-caster folks give a little flick of the wrist while the spinning rod crowd is double-handed whipping for all their worth.

    Bait casting setups

    Less casting effort. Less line twist. Better balance and control with the weight all in your palm rather than hung under your hand. More control of a fish with the rod between you and the fish rather than just the line-guides.

    DIY Alaska Caribou

    Wet wipes, lots and lots of wet wipes. Their 1st job is obvious, however, they're also valuable for washing the rest of your carcass when water is at a premium. Bathing in "glacier water" might be spiritual, but, it's mighty mighty COLD as well. Wet wipes can buy you a few "itch-free" days...
