    More Snow Next Week?

    Hah, they take computer security quite seriously. We use CAC cards on our PCs. Then we also have AWIPS (Advanced Weather Information Processing System) which is Linux based and about as complicated as GIS to first learn how to navigate.

    Idaho murders

    I certainly don't have any worthwhile insight to the crime, but I have been following it. The cops in this and just about any other high profile crime don't release details because they can use those details to eventually catch the criminal. Be patient, I am guessing the a-hole in this crime...

    More Snow Next Week?

    Well, there's surely something in the models for next week. Then again, a couple weeks ago there was a hint of a colorado low in the models for our area as well on days 6-8 of the models and it ended up disappearing with little fanfare. To give you an idea of the spread in the model runs this...

    Fireplace for ice shanty?

    I grew up fishing in a permanent that had a wood stove but used a Big Bertha propane torch jury-rigged into the back wall of the stove. It could get really hot in that house!!!

    Refinishing a gun at home.

    Yeah, but it's easier to get to the semi-gloss than a person may want. I wanted more of a rubbed oil look, but after 2 coats of TruOil it was very semi-glossy.

    Refinishing a gun at home.

    Huh, and here all these years I thought Linseed oil was really hydrophobic. According to Wikipedia, your editor is correct. Learn something new every day. Now I feel like the days I spent as a kid oiling a hay wagon during the heat of the summer were just a complete waste. Thanks, svn, I...

    Refinishing a gun at home.

    Linseed oil doesn't protect wood from water, ehh...whut? I would use TruOil if wanting to get a "new gun" kind of finish. If it's an older gun, motor oil is all you need if you are looking to preserve the wood without really changing its character. ANY, and all oils will protect your stock to...

    Fishing and Hunting Video Equipment

    I don't think people are understanding his query. He is looking for something that has MULTIPLE sound feeds into a single camera.

    300 win mag ammo

    Back when I got out of the Corps in 1992, I bought my 25-06 and shot the pretty standard Remington CoreLokts. They killed things just fine for the most part, but there was one really nice buck I had to put a few shots into at over 400 yds, none of which exited the deer or had really great...

    300 win mag ammo

    I had a similar experience with a WT doe. There were at least 6 in the party that watched me shoot her broadside, we all heard the whack. She turned and walked into the trees around an old farmstead and we spent a good portion of the next couple hours looking for her. Never did find her and...

    300 win mag ammo

    I used to really love the accuracy out of factory loaded 115 gr, Winchester ballistic silvertips for my 25-06. I suppose they were coming out just a hair over 3000 fps. The problem I eventually ran into with them was their tendency to explode on deer that were less than 100 yds away. As an...

    suppressor help

    Might be a silly question here, but let's say a person goes out and starts a trust under his name only and then something happens to him (gets killed by a rabid moose, or something). What legally becomes of the firearm and silencer? Would that person's heirs be afoul of the law as soon as they...

    Baiting Ban

    You're allowed to shoot critters in the ditch next to a posted piece of land. We didn't get that kind of reach around from our ag-friendly legislature.

    Electronic Predator Calls?

    I too seem to remember finding a bunch of free files on the web a number of years ago, but haven't looked now for maybe 10 years.

    Hanging deer - head up or down?

    Heh heh heh, I use a puller for chain-link fence. I find it amusing at how some dug in their heels on this topic. I've had the need to do both over the years and can't remember throwing away a single deer that's been hung by the head. And I'm a fussy ____ when it comes to taking care of...
