    Do-it-yourselfers strike again

    On the concrete yes, but it was only $200 cheaper ($5200) and I had the guy before. The next spring Lux concrete did a fantastic job. The guy who did the addition was working next door and they liked him. He said since he was right next door he could start ours. The first clue was when he...

    Headed to the Black Hills end of May

    When I worked with The Great Plains grasslands back in the 1970's I think I may have walked a couple hundred miles in that area. Nice, but nothing different than prairie in many other areas.

    Do-it-yourselfers strike again

    No it didn't, but I don't think GST would do a bad job. We agree on many things, it's just that he is destructive when one does not agree. I don't know what kind of fantasy world he lives in where everyone agrees, and anyone who doesn't agree 100% is the enemy. I know better than to say this...

    Do-it-yourselfers strike again

    Many times when we have built or added on I have had to take contractors to work. When I was still working I paid a contractor for a concrete pad for a new detached garage. I paid for 5 inches thick and an extra bag of concrete. Also rebar between garage and driveway pad so I could lay brick...

    The beast~

    Or it's the first confirmed one. People think they see Whooping Cranes all the time. Not.. When it comes to animal identification there is a lot of really screwy people out there. They can't simply take peoples word for it. When a fellow who worked for me called in two Whooping Cranes at...

    Mother Nature

    Is that still part of what they call the Mogollon Rim, or are you west of that. West I guess. I like that transition at Payson. Prescott is nice, and I forget the name of the sport shop, but they had cheap ammo.

    Scope

    If you have a rock to duck behind do that, but if someone scopes you in the open you do consider self defence. I have had bullets close enough to hear them crack. I don't know how close that is.

    Scope

    Yup. I think my grand daughter was 11 when she was consistent on eight inches at 800 yards with my Creedmoor and a 4X16 Vortex PST minute of angle reticle. I have a 6X24 but I think the best all around scope is a 4X16. Scope, Crown, and Trigger = hits.

    Handlaoding

    Right now my room is a mess. I have been reloading, but not organizing or cleaning. My wife had spinal fusion so I am busy cooking and house cleaning and reloading, but not cleaning my room. I have a portable stand for my Rockchucker, and lubrisizer. It's sort of like sitting down in an...

    Range finder help..

    I first went through about five or six Bushnell, then two Leica, then a Swarovski that I still have and now a Sig 2000. The optics are so good in the Swarovski that I often don't carry my binocs. The only thing the Swarovski doesn't have is angle compensation. It will shoot to 1999 yards on...

    Leupold CDS

    600 yards you could do for under $200. The Nikon Prostaff that I use works great with Strelok+. You can use the bullet drop, or dial in with the turrets.

    Leupold CDS

    I have a couple of old Leupold tactical scopes that are very good. Since the mid 1990's I have had trouble. The last one run me $1299 and I worked and worked on my 300 mag to get a good group. One day I put an old 1977 Bushnell 3X9 Sportview on it and cut my group in half. I sent the scope...

    Uniflow Powder Measure

    None of the powder measures work well with long grain powder. I always throw .2 grains light and trickle charge to the desired weight. With cartridges that I shoot a lot I use ball powders when possible. I have found that the best you can hope for is within .2 grains and it works best to move...

    Archery Turkey Hunting

    My oldest son and I were set up on the side of the Killdeer mountains and had about 40 turkeys come by. We were using one of those cheap pop up blinds that looks like it's breathing when a little wind is involved. That scared the turkeys out of range. I remembered Cabela's phone number and...

    Improving the PLOTS program

    I mean, how do you want it, a program (your recreation) that stands on its own or a program (your recreation) that is subsidized by everyone else? Oh my gosh that would make it just like agriculture. :;:duel

    State-owned Casinos anyone

    Read the history of gambling and the mob in Nevada. Not a pretty picture. Gambling addiction is not the number one problem.

    State-owned Casinos anyone

    A Reagan quote comes to mind: “Government is like a baby: an alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.” There is little difference in the way politicians work whether it's federal, state, or county. Those who say state is more responsible...

    Making the Switch to Copper Bullets

    2400 I used Winchester 760, but that is the same powder as H414. I have had five 243s, but none currently. My last one really liked the Hornady 87 gr HPBT, over W760. I like ball powders for cartridges I shoot a lot. I think I am going to try Bighorn Hunter in my Creedmoor.

    Making the Switch to Copper Bullets

    I agree with Allen. I have shot X bullets since the late 1980's when they were still nearly unheard of. I have shot deer with them in 223, 22-250, 243, 270, 308, 300WSM, 300 Win Mag. I have host them in my 45 Auto, and my 44 mag. Also in sabots from my muzzleloader. If I had a nice elk...
