    Papa Smurf had a REAL GOOD WEEKEND!!!!

    Thanks BBJ. Yeah that pistol IS a bunch of fun to shoot, but you not only have to hunt the critter, you have to hunt the right shot where there is enough light, the right weather conditions, few obstructions, a stable hold, and a stationary target. I would have liked to have a rail to rest the...

    Papa Smurf had a REAL GOOD WEEKEND!!!!

    Yeah huntinforfish, I heard there were lots of folks having trouble all over MN finding deer. I've talked to 6 different groups that hunted areas from Waseca to up by Warroad and they all said the same thing. Very little moving and very little shooting. Guess we just got VERY lucky.

    I have a couple, but I used the 30-30 barrel for this.

    Papa Smurf had a REAL GOOD WEEKEND!!!!

    As many of you know, I was in Minnesota for the opening weekend of rifle season to hunt with my 77 year old Uncle, my Dad, my Brother, and my Cousin. We were in an intensive harvest unit so we each could have an either Buck or Doe tag and a bonus Doe tag so we had potentially 5 buck tags and...

    Gator Giggin' Shack Accessory Advice...............

    The 5/8 inch plywood is a typo. It's actually that 5/16 or 1/4 inch stuff. I can yank it around myself pretty good, but wouldn't want to drag it very far. Really good stuff here guys. I've got some decoys being shipped to the house and then going to DM for painting so those I have to wait...

    Gator Giggin' Shack Accessory Advice...............

    Well I finished my first permanent ice house today. It's a 4 X 8 X 6.5 spear shack, but it's just a shell right now. It's 2 X 2 construction walls, 4 X 4 runners, 3/4 inch plywood floor with 2 X 4 support on the spear hole edge and the middle of the remaining floor with 5/8 inch plywood walls...

    Anyone missing Arrows and a Quiver?

    No. If you read the OP AND the title of the thread, It's a quiver and arrows. (Grin)

    New blind build

    Looks good to me. I think it will kill a deer. Keep in mind the plexi is the weakest link in your chain, BY FAR. Is the window a slide or hinge? If slide, EXPECT the plexi or the wood or both to warp and bind up the workings of the plexi. Easiest management for this is to have shorter...

    Neg Reps.

    Enslow, I'd neg rep you for a klondike bar and I hate peppermint.

    Is 2400 OK?

    You just made the list fella.

    .243 for Mule Deer?

    A 243 is plenty gun. Blaming the gun for a lost game animal is akin to blaming the hammer for a smashed thumb.

    Is 2400 OK?

    I personally think it's GREAT when an NDA'er falls off the grid and folks notice. Never met most of you guys on here, but I still notice when someone is absent for longer than a vacation or hunting trip. It SPEAKS WELL to the caliber of people on this site. However, I don't think the...

    Neg Reps.

    If you want your wife to "think" you're a bad boy, change your avatar for cripes sake. A man taking his small son fishing on a warm summer day while holding a Power Ranger fishing pole doesn't exactly scream OUTLAW now does it? Truthfully, I don't think giving you a thousand bad reps would...

    Water Hammer; what’s the fix

    If the toilet sounds like a jack hammer at the end of the fill cycle, replacing the guts should fix it. The valve doesn't shut off tight when the float reaches "almost" full and the water pipes flow and shut off, flow and shut off, flow and shut off and the pressure of shutting off is what is...

    Prediction - First Ice

    I hate to say it, but I believe I think I'll be able to spear gators the end of rifle season with the flip-over. It was 14 degrees this morning and has been in the low teens every morning this week, but one. Not many sloughs NOT froze over and this includes the big water roost type stuff as...

    Iditarod Scandal with Dallas Seavey

    Well OK then. Color me WRONG on this one!! I guess there IS a couple reasons mushers might want to cheat. Shame if this turns out to be true.

    Iditarod Scandal with Dallas Seavey

    We need an BS FLAG imoticon or whatever you call them things. I don't buy it. This race is about prestige and bragging rights about ones dog team. Not very many mushers out there willing to endure this race and I have trouble believing any musher would cheat. What's the point???? I don't...

    If I could put that pic of the Raccoon reaching I would post it.

    Ice fishing boots

    My best and favorite foot protection is plywood, has lights, and comes with a propane heater. If that doesn't work, I depend on my sorels and an extra pair of wool socks.

    BRAVING the MN Deer woods this weekend!

    I'm going to join the accursed ranks of THE NONRESIDENT HUNTERS for the MN Deer opener this coming weekend. In my arsenal of safety gear I've got my helmet, flak vest, armored underwear, some converse high tops, and a fur lined jockstrap. Hope it's enough to keep me safe. I'm torn on if I...
