Haha, I should have probably put it as "if I made different decisions 15-16yrs ago and didn't have the wife and kids"
Anyways I'm fine with where I'm at, the girls are at the age's where I can do fun things with them but probably not far away from it's not so cool to do things with dad.
Knowing what I make and what I pay out for known monthly expenses for a family 4 is one level of comfort.
Knowing what I make and what would change without a family of 4 is a different level of comfort.
If I take out the wife and kids I'm sure I would be pretty close because I would have more...
Had a corded Rapala that bit the dust after lots of fish, bought a corded Bubba that didn't make it two season and I wasn't keeping as much (one of my daughters became allergic to fish, so was adapting), bought a Bubba cordless (got lots of blades now) and been satisfied for the most part. Yeah...
I enjoy and respect wildlife, I give them their area and I have mine. My yard is for my family and I, farm cats fine, dogs fine, most other creatures (skunks, racoons, woodchucks, etc) they can have all the other pastures, woods and fields.
I've been playing with that Merlin App and it is really cool. Solved the mystery of a bird sound I was hearing in the evenings just before dark, turned out to be a Wilsons Snipe and if you go to Merlin's Song list it is the Winnow.
All my years of trying to catch them in the dark with pillow...
well it's going to be a muddy mess Saturday working cattle. Neighbor's corral has a low spot that is soft on a dry year, I swear you could lay 5ft of rock on top of it and it would all sink to nothing. Pasture grass is looking real good for them to start out.
Thanks. Yeah first goal is to get load developed and then don't screw with it. Practice on my range which can get 600-800yds if I want before the corn gets tall and then get out in more terrain and shoot some angles in some hills on property we own, and practice different positions (bipod...
Oh I am great at making things more than what they need to be and like I said I just enjoy trying different things. I'm familiar with Barnes and know what I have had success with but the Badlands has my interest and I have never played with Swift bullets. In all actuality a bullet is the...
So it's bullet selection time for reloading. Been doing lots of research and have read a gambit of opinions from ELD and Berger types being great for some to less desirable to guides (currently Bern shooting 168gr Federal loading just because) controlled expansion bullets like Accubond, Swift...
Permethrin is a turkey hunter/forager friend. Used it some last year on some work clothes and hunting pants and socks and it really helped, should really do that again as I keep finding ticks. Follow instructions on spray bottle. Picked mine up at scheels but Amazon works too
Got a 10mm Rock Island 1911 that I enjoy. Got a couple 357 mag revolvers of dad's that I haven't shot in years (S&W and cant remember the other right now but chrom with pearl handle). I used to like shooting them but ran 38 specials usually for plinking. Mix a random full power 357 mag and the...
