Restoring a riparian zone
Pin flags are bad. Even worse are the thousands of derelict plastic tree tubes that are left to rot (or not) in place for decades, and all the other associated deer fencing, goose netting, tree supports, wires, rubber tubing, tree tags, surveyors tapes, etc that are almost always left untended...- Bullshot

Everyone’s Saying the Same Thing After Scientists 'Resurrect' the Dire Wolf
I don’t know why this occurred to me and I feel pretty icky saying it… but the real money is going to be in “designer reproductive services.” Parents of the future will get to select which genes from past successful or beautiful people they want added and expressed. So the movie stars or...- Bullshot

Colorado Elk Unit 41,42,411 1st Rifle
I know these units, have hunted several times including 1st rifle. MUCH has changed over the years there. It can be a very tough hunt, but there are opportunities to be had. You can PM me if you have a Plan A, B, C approach and want opinion. If you have NO starting point, I’ll be happy to offer... -
Fatal animal attack?
This can’t be the end of this story. As far as I know, it’s not a normal everyday thing for feral dogs to kill and partially consume people in Colorado (yet) so can it just be moved on from - with a shrug - by the authorities. Is there going to be an effort to find the dog(s) before someone... -
Wyoming Antelope Application Choices
Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum Pronghorn in WY remains a pretty accessible hunt on public land. Not everywhere, not every year for nonresidents, but the biggest issue is the lowered populations of animals, I feel, not rich vs poor on this one.- Bullshot

Experience with Lupus?
We had her rheumatologist appointment today at a great pediatric hospital/specialty care facility (I can’t believe it takes weeks to get in, and that was “fast”). Not unexpectedly, the doctor wants to do a bunch more tests. In fact she wants to re-do all the same tests and then order a slate of...- Bullshot

Automotive question?
An additional shot in the dark, but you said vibration changes with wind…. are your heat shields or other light shields/skidplates lose or rattling? Or maybe exhaust mounts are loose, allowing exhaust system to sway and knock on something.- Bullshot

Automotive question?
When I have this, it is always my tires. But maybe you have a bent or off center rotor? It’s probably something spinning, but simple, since your truck otherwise is fine, so like others said, also maybe u-joint, or drive shaft. Is there any noise? Is something contacting the drive shaft maybe?- Bullshot

Rebuilding a rig instead of buying new
I already bought a gallon of it and a sprayer plus some extra spray cans and the new one is going to get soaked as soon as I get it and before and after every winter forever after.- Bullshot

Rebuilding a rig instead of buying new
I am in the northeast and sadly have faced this dilemma this week. My 2015 4Runner with “only” 183k is going on the sale block in favor of a 2024 that I found with only 12k. It’s the same exact vehicle. For a pretty steep price, true, but I’ll have another decade plus piece of mind...- Bullshot

Walnut syrup making
One more suggestion, a key part of making the process even remotely efficient is to keep the boil ROLLING. If you add cold sap or a frozen block you will increase your time considerably. If it’s not boiling, it’s not working close to quickly. So (1) thaw ALL your sap just before starting and...- Bullshot

Walnut syrup making
When I did maple syrup, I think I would do about 40-60 gallons of sap per run. Lots of buckets! Lots of time! Your furnace setup is very cool, with better control than the one I built out of cinder blocks. But it could also potentially be tough to finish a small batch on the main furnace if...- Bullshot
