    243 shot selection

    I like them. I am on my sixth box of 100 for the 6.5 and the third box of 100 178 gr in my 300 WSM and 308. I have a box of the 30 cal in 212 that I intend to use in my 300 Win Mag. Just not sure they will open well beyond 1000 yards. May have to shoot a sack full of wet newspaper at 1200...

    Egress Window

    Don't know about Bismarck, but ten years ago it run me $3700. 4X6 window and a 5X7 cedar window well. I have had two done. This one turned out great, but a 2X4 the guy didn't make the window well large enough to open the window. Dumb as a stump. You have to watch contractors. You expect...

    Limb saws

    Funny, but I have done that early in the year. I also use a 12 gauge when it's about -10 in the winter to remove wasp nests. What the shotgun doesn't get the -10 does.

    Limb saws

    I don't know where it went to, but Vollmer had article on here about tricking out a tree stand. Many of us have to be a little inventive at times. I thought I would start something where we all share something that others may find useful. This will not make sense for a moment until I can get...

    Thieving Bastards!

    Don't let your trail cams gather dust in the off season. Use black flash or the cam will be stolen. I think I have four running in the yard now. They should not get them all. If not for liability I would rather leave a nice bike in the front yard wired into 110.

    Ag and Conservation in Cooperation

    I think these farmers will discover that wetlands are valuable to them. I would much rather spend money on conservation than support prices for grain. I think it's much more of a win win. The money we spend on flood damage is better spent on flood prevention. It turns an expense onto an...

    Deer blind foggy windows

    I made an ice house and Jamestown glass made my windowed. Any shape you want, and I thought very reasonable price. Double pane, half inch gap. Edit. In the ice house I wanted to see out the window standing or sitting so they are the opposite of yours. They are 10 inches wide and 30 inches high.

    Broadhead tuning

    Yes I fletch everything with a Bitzenburger. Slight offset for my Matthew's and a hard twist for the recurve and longbow. I have been shooting cedar and carbons in the traditional bows. I was splitting Gold tip when I hit my 3D low (metal rod along bottom I guess) but recently switched to...

    Broadhead tuning

    Broadhead planeing is a tough thing to figure out. I'm not one to give advise on it. Broadheads always plane for my brother, and never do for me. We both paper tune. We have both been bow hunting since 1960. Still can't tell you the difference in how we tune or shoot. In his mid 70's he...

    F Under Armour

    They should not have passed up the opportunity to keep their mouth shut. I hope anyone who hunts never buys another piece of their clothing. I hope that hits them hard. Somehow sportsmen need to find good ways to flex their muscle as the world tries to crap on us.

    Kitchen Countertops

    I had no plans for the fireplace in that last pic. I bought everything I needed from Hebron Brick. Instead of $15K it cost $3500 and my labor. The stone is Indiana sandstone, not concrete counter top. Big part of the cost was real stone.

    Kitchen Countertops

    Davey C I do most of my own work. At the cost of labor a person has to or has to be wealthy. Anyway, I poured my own concrete counter tops for my outdoor kitchen. I bought the countertop concrete at Lowe's in Bismarck. I only goofed a little because I didn't have anything to measure my...

    Kitchen Countertops

    I don't think it's the quartz that is the problem. Solid quartz is very valuable in large pieces . As I understand all quartz counteracts are smaller pieces held together with a clear industrial epoxy. If your wife is a person that doesn't change her mind every year or two go with granite. If...

    Signs on Villard St, Dickinson

    I got a kick out of the business in the background behind the "civilized lives matter" sign. FERGUSON PLUMBING.

    ND tied 31st in gun/resident

    H82bogey I know one old fellow who passed away and when they had his auction he had 70 guns all bought before 1968. An old native American that was our neighbor had at least a dozen guns that were pre 1900. Mostly octagon barrel lever actions. One time they caught him selling deer and the...

    Scope on muzzleloaders

    Someone above talked about age and hard to see his sites. I have the same problem so went with a 1x on line. A peep with a small aperature works also, much like a higher f stop on a camera lense. Unfortunately like a camera lense it cuts a lot of light. I have been looking for a flintlock...

    Question for the Lawn Experts

    Looks like shallow black soil over poor clay to me. Fertilizer as some mentioned would certainly help since it's nutrients the poor soil is missing. I have a spot something like that, but it's caused by acid from not cleaning up crab apples. I leave them because the deer like them. Also...
