    Battling the Skeeters

    I wonder what I am doing wrong with the termocell? I have not used it in a ground blind because I don't want to breath the concentration that builds up in the blind. My only experience is in a tree stand and on a houseboat anchored on shore. After an hour fishing the mosquitoes were just as...

    Battling the Skeeters

    I keep hearing how the termocell works, but I was one of the first suckers. We took it on a Minnesota houseboat trip. My son and I were standing on the back deck two feet apart with the thermocell between us on a dead calm night fishing. They were biting us constantly as if nothing was there...

    Barrel threading in the FM area?

    10.5 gr of Trail Boss and a 140 gr bullet will give you 1030 fps and sound will be a little less than a Red Rider BB gun.

    shooting system

    I have two long bipods and two short ones. When I hunt I carry a long one in the backpack and a short one on the rifle. They are like vehicles one will not do everything you want. I like it when I can use the short 9-13 inch. The lower to the ground the more stable I am.

    First Velvet Buck and #1 of my Trifecta

    I enjoyed the story KDM. It's always fun to hear about the strange things that happen in a stand. I have been entertained by hawks, coons, coyotes etc. Maybe had deer walk past while I enjoyed the entertainment. Thanks for the story.

    243 shot selection

    When I get on my computer Kurt I will send you a site to check out 264 loads. I kept track of the load development, but sent the book home with my son. I remember the loads I settled on though. I'll try remember to get that to you.

    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...
