    Direct Payments to farmers/ranchers

    No just the ones I am talking about. I realize things are dryer the further west you go. I kind of agree with Johnr on this. I just have an aversion to some people pay in while other draw out. They should have socked some into the bank during the good years. If the years are all bad maybe...

    Direct Payments to farmers/ranchers

    Relatives the age of my kids have new toy haulers, deck boats, and new trucks to pull them. How bad is it really? I am happy for them, but are they in trouble? Can't be or they wouldn't be spending the way they do.

    4C Mule Deer

    Absolutely. There is one alternative to the story. He could have started an outfitting business on the side. I have been hunting that area since 1978. One guy on Government Creek was good until he started an outfitting business. My ears are not that bad and I was having coffee with this...

    National Grasslands

    WoooHooo I just checked the fire map for North Dakota and the entire state is LOW FIRE DANGER. That makes me happy happy happy. Think I will go out and burn my pile of branches. - - - Updated - - - When they talked me into being on the church council I didn't want to do it. At last when I...

    Dicamba Drift?

    Thanks for that info sponsy12. I always thought the lowest time was two hours and it was already sprinkling at the far NW end of Pipestem. It did stop while I was shooting so evidently they thought it was OK.

    Got rain?

    It had been skirting by us to the north all day until about five minutes ago. At last drops are falling faster than I can count on the skylight. Hope this keeps up for a while. It looks like out west they got rain, so maybe the hunt is on.

    I want this Bullet Puller

    Yes, you can wreck an inertia pulled fast trying to pull 40 gr bullets from a 22-250. The 405 in the 45/70 pull with a couple of taps. I have hopes of better accuracy and easier bullet pulling once my Sinclair neck turned gets here and I determine the correct neck size collect for my RCBS Gold...

    Dicamba Drift?

    It's dead calm this morning so I went to the Pipestem area to shoot a little. A plane was spraying on the north side of the reservoir and it was starting to sprinkle a little. We are supposed to get rain today. Wasn't that applicator shafting the farmer? I mean if rain comes within a couple...

    Dicamba Drift?

    Oh I remember what messed with my oaks - curtail. Didn't bother any other trees, but it sure whacked the oaks. I have seen chemical receptors put down in wetlands and they had higher concentrations two days later than the upland they were spraying. I sprayed a small spot (50 ft across) of...

    I want this Bullet Puller

    That looks good Zogman. I wonder if it damages the bullet at all. At the price of bullets today I don't want to destroy ELD-X or Berger VLDs. I bet I pull 500 bullets in a year. I have worn out a half dozen hammer type like the guy in the video is using. I have three of those electrical...

    Dicamba Drift?

    I think I mentioned this before, but the weed board guy sprayed the empty lot next to me then came in my yard without permission and sprayed all the wild flowers I spent most of June collecting and transplanting. He also sprayed right next to my well. I called the health department and they...

    deer rifle results are out

    Looks like you and I are in the same boat. I would not mind leaving my two inlines in the safe. I have three cap and ball, but would like a flintlock. I have a 1X scope on the one inline because I can't see sights anymore. At least not both sightes and the target. Sometimes front sight...

    National Grasslands

    I guess I am not. I would like a hunters perspective on him. I had just wrote this off as hating another sportsmen like that guy (forget his name) that has the tv show about hunting public land. Hmmm Randy Newbury maybe? Anyway, it always appears to me as an effort to blast sportsmen. They...

    Propane summer fill

    I do need some for the propane fireplace in the basement, but you guys are making me feel good. Propane would have to get down to .55 to compare to my electric off peak.

    Reloading = dumb

    :) I keep getting worse by the day. I tried a Lyman neck turning tool and didn't like it. I tried an RCBS neck turning tool attached to my Protrim and didn't like it. I bit the bullet and sent for a Sinclair micrometer adjustable today. I am sitting on 1000 once fired Federal 308 so it's...

    Hunter’s Dream Job?

    A number of different things, but I was acting as a tech at the time and not determining the goals as the lead biologist would. Some of the things I know is we needed to know diet to manage lands. So we shot a bird, dissected to inspect food items. Identified food items. Measured the bill...

    Hunter’s Dream Job?

    Some of those are not all they are cracked up to be. I have killed a bunch of cranes for work. Had to watch them eat for two to three hours and it was hard to keep track of an individual in a flock. I used a heavy barrel 222 and full metal jackets. Worked from 5:00am to 8:00pm many days...

    Hunter’s Dream Job?

    Before I was retired I was offered $30K just for October to shoot deer in a large east coast city. Would had to do nothing but pull the trigger. City employees would body bag them and remove them. If I had been retired I would have done it. I guess animal rights people followed a guy around...
