    Winter Heating....with corn!

    My corn storage is outside in galvanized water tanks I bought at fleet farm for a 100 bucks and covered with sheets of plywood. I buy my corn from a local farmer for a bit over 3 bucks a bushel and I haul it in 250 gallon plastic totes (chemical containers) I cleaned and cut the top out of...

    Winter Heating....with corn!

    Outside temps here in the valley have been below zero quite a few times already and the lowest the house has gotten was 59 by the time we got up in the morning (one of the furnace days). That was on the lowest setting for the stove. We've kept the stove on setting 2 and have enjoyed the 63-65...

    Older Double Bull Blind Question

    If the frame is sturdy, you might want to look into having a canvas cover made at a place like TRS industries. My boat cover is over 13 years old and still going strong. Just a thought depending on price of a new blind vs. canvas cover.

    Winter Heating....with corn!

    It will burn wood pellets, but you have to change the guts out. Pellets and corn don't burn the same, so there is a conversion kit. Corn is MUCH cheaper than pellets, which is why we use corn. It does heat the entire house the way it is right now without any backup. I can run ductwork into...

    Winter Heating....with corn!

    We dropped over 2 grand on propane last year for heating which prompted a search for an alternative. We purchased a corn stove last spring and fired it up the first of November. All I can say is I wish I'd have acquired one 5 years ago. This stove has kept the whole house (basement included)...

    Jim Shockey rips Canadian officials after bear attack and deaths of mother/infant.

    GENESIS Chapter 1 Verses 26-28: "And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27: So God...

    Badlands mule deer

    My source is every genetics book ever published. Google population genetics/genetic diversity and educate yourself. If you have a population of 10000 individuals and a population of 100000 individuals and you remove 15% from each population, which do you think would better preserve genetic...

    Badlands mule deer

    More deer equals a stronger genetic base which translates into a stronger preservation capability of superior traits in both body and antler size. Smaller populations are immensely more susceptible to genetic loss, less capable of recovery from say a harsh winter or disease outbreak such as the...

    Badlands mule deer

    I'd like to see what would happen to the mule deer populations in the badlands if our illustrious game and fish removed the restrictions on mountain lions for say 5 years and let them be hunted like other predators. I would find that VERY interesting.

    Spearing house

    Search "Gator Giggin'" and you should find a thread about a spear shack I built. Take a look and if you have questions let me know. It's OK for 2 people, but DEFINITELY NOT for 4. Two folks can sit side by side at the hole and spear with the heater at the far wall behind you. Any closer and...

    What Shot Size To Use for Ducks Hunting

    Over small water bodies I use the cheapest shells I can find. Most shots are real close so magnum shells aren't needed IMO. Big water and field hunting I use either #2 or BB in 3 inch mag as I can get in geese as well, but also the shots tend to be 30 yards or more in those situations. At...

    Bunghole Class

    When the pellet pusher comes through the pelvic opening the wangdoozle usually comes out with it provided all the surrounding tissue has been severed. Pinch the wangdoozle and pull. The dingleberries usually stay on the one side while the wangdoozle comes out the other. Pinching it prevents...

    Badlands mule deer

    Private or Public land seems to be the hitch pin to finding mature mulies. Most of the guys that I know that hunted private land took mature bucks while the public land guys often settled for 150ish bucks. Lots of hunter pressure on public land starting with stick and string and continuing...

    Processing Your Own Deer

    [/B] Good for you!!! If you don't have a place for them to hunt, give me a call/pm. I got a pretty good place for youngsters just starting out in deer hunting. I'm planning on building an 8X8 little house on stilts this summer. Should be a good winter project to design and gather supplies...

    Processing Your Own Deer

    Just call me Major Obvious. However, it amazes me sometimes how little deer hunters know about the quarry they pursue. Unfortunately, many just shoot deer, gut deer.....poorly, take deer to locker plant, pay locker bill, put venison in freezer, let venison sit for a year in freezer, throw...
