    Binos x-eyed

    I never have pulled them out. Agree that focusing each lens in the precise order mentioned about has worked for me. Exception, the time the collination, or alignment of the tubes, was off and needed manufacturers repair. I do notice that my eyes change occasionally and need to refocus...

    "Hearing Protection" bill introduced!

    As I stated earlier, I don't have a problem with suppressors. They do what they are designed to do, reduce the noise of the gun. The point I was trying to make is the hearing protection angle. The average citizen who is not a gun owner or shooter, I'm thinking, really has no interest in your...

    "Hearing Protection" bill introduced!

    I have no reason to be against the use of suppressors but find it a stretch to use Hearing Protection as the primary reason for the change. For me purchasing and using Ear Muffs or some other form of hearing protection would be much cheaper and can be used with every firearm I own. Installing a...

    Ford coming out with new Diesel in F150

    Having never owned a diesel pickup I'm no where near an expert. I did always think one of the major reasons for owning a diesel was to have the power to pull a heavy load. Owning a 1/2 ton pickup pretty much eliminates the heavy load portion of the equation. Or at least SAFELY pulling is...

    NFL playoffs

    I didn't see the play but I do wonder "Is offensive pass interference even in the NFL rulebook?" See it all the time and never called. The best receivers are those who "seperate" the best.

    Public Comment period for NWR

    I'm not a guide and I've fished Dry Lake quite a bit. There is a lady who runs a docking facility and campground. The problem is she's not embarrassed to charge. Give her $20 and she's very friendly.

    If the winter doesnt kill the deer the coyotes will

    It would be fairly easy to drastically cut the number of coyotes. Getting permission to use poison is the difficult part.

    Dead Minnows

    I can understand chlorine in the water not being beneficial to minnows but I do that all the time. Perhaps it is the level of chlorine in the water. When I have left over minnows I bring them home and store them in a styrofoam lined bucket. Depending on the number of minnows I change the water...

    Bill proposed for Crossbow Hunting

    I can't say that I'm against this change. At the same time I don't see a need for the change. It's not difficult to get a medical exemption. For those who think the change gives a group an unfair advantage, the same argument was used with compound bows as well as in-line muzzleloaders. Our sport...

    Hunting land for sale $376 dollars per acre

    I own some land that has a FWS easement. Wasn't me who signed the easement but am stuck with it. The only issue I have had with them is an argument over a drainage ditch. FWS does not like drainage ditches and I was able to win the argument because the ditch was on the original maps and you are...

    Bakken Oilfield poll

    Where did the money go? Lot's of places and in actuality a lot of the money was used for the good. Roads, bridges, infrastructure, education, and on and on. Was any wasted? I'm sure it was. Kind of like the saying "I spent some of my money on wine and women, the rest I just wasted." Mention was...

    Hunting land for sale $376 dollars per acre

    Without checking the actual wording of the rule I would suspect that this counts for a gratis tag. I think that filling out the application would require that you list the land and it would something like this SW1/4, Podunk TWP, RANGE etc. That 1/4 section would then qualify as 160 acres even...

    Trespass Bill

    Funds for conservation doesn't bother me. I don't pretend to know what everybody is thinking but had a sense in the last initiated measure that most people thought that DU was going to use the funds to purchase land. May or not have been the case but perception drives a lot of discussion. For...

    Trespass Bill

    I understand why many landowners as well as sportsman have developed some mistrust in some of the conservation organizations. Perhaps they have gotten to big for their own good. DU is one that immediately comes to mind. When DU started it was a member driven organization that was solely in the...

    Dick's Sporting Goods

    Agree with this. Not much in the way of hunting and fishing but golf selection is good with some upper level clubs as well as intro clubs. Clothing is pretty good except for the hunting and fishing area. Not a bad store, all depends on what you are looking for. Just like every other store...

    Racist?

    If you're Caucasian you are racist. Isn't that the current rule? You never hear of a non-white being racist I'm to the point where I don't care as I know how I treat people. People who are respectful (and you can disagree and still be respectful) are treated with respect. You can only f__k...

    Building a deer blind

    You don't necessarily need 2X4, you could use 2X2 and save a little weight. Insulate with styrofoam and their is less weight and won't get wet like batt insulation. Pulling on skis will depend on what type of terrain you are going to pull it over. The rougher the terrain the harder it will...

    Trespass Bill

    I understand why some landowners would want this.They don't have to put up any posters, but for the life of me I've never figured out why that is such a problem. I don't know that it's really a problem or someone with a solution looking for a problem that benefits very few. One of the reasons I...

    Have you ever?

    Can't imagine many who haven't suffered through an emergency in the field. For me I carry TP with me most of the time. Something about getting out walking and moving in the morning that gets everything moving. Hell, been out for my morning walk and never quite made it all the way home. There are...
