Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!
It would be interesting, for this particular thread, to know how many here have been (cumulatively) 1. fired 2. layed off 3. quit or added another job because of actual physical hunger that is unable to be met by current pay stubs. 3. a. stopped for fresh roadkill deer to eat counts 1/2...- squirrel

#Winning = more public land poop
So you people in "normalsville" can just cut out a trail without being hauled off to Gitmo? I have personally been pulled in for "questioning" on the suspicion that perhaps I cleared a trail on USFS. "There were 4-6 stumps of LIVE trees cut (damaged) ILLEGALLY with O.D in the range of 1-1/2"...- squirrel

#Winning = more public land poop
Why would anyone? All I would ask is that they quit arresting those who are clearing the trails. 3 years ago I was hiking with a Husqvarna carefully camouflaged in a pannier and ran into a prim and properly coifed Rangerette stinking of perfume a couple miles up the trail. Fielding the usual...- squirrel

Montana, talk to me about your mountain whitetail.
A food source study would be pretty interesting on these deer, given their limited mobility/range. No alfalfa, certainly no corn or beans/milo. No feed bunks to poach any of the above from cattle, cows here get nothing but grass hay and water. Years ago I had a small herd of WT come in daily... -
Montana, talk to me about your mountain whitetail.
Obviously the deer aren't different so the habitat would be the most likely reason. Elevation and vegetation combination. I would think on a nice balmy -30 windy day snuggling up to an Engleman spruce would be an obvious choice, except they dont. They bed under a cottonwood or a juniper 100... -

WT here have seen more Sasquatches than ponderosa -
Montana, talk to me about your mountain whitetail.
First your assumption of knowledge of CO WT is wrong, on all points except that the CPW is trying to kill them all, as they are trying to turn every hoofed critter into a positive bank balance. Unfortunately with great success using urban nimrod alchemists turning venison into gold. (But they... -
Tariffs and Potential Inflation
I have to humbly agree... although you guys are now distilling whiskey on-line this started about inflation. Too many dollars chasing too few products. I increased product and decreased the money supply in one fell swoop. I did my small part. Now carry on about how drunkenness is better if...- squirrel

Tariffs and Potential Inflation
Needed a handful of fender washers the other day, 1/4" hole by 1" diameter would do nicely. $.47 each at Ace. drilled a hole in a roll of quarters. Problem solved no more inflation, or at least cut in half...- squirrel

Sausage season
Found a place this year with $.69 pork fat, extremely high quality. Same price for beef fat, got 3-10# packs of beef but one was older and not as good. The other two were also super quality. Ive found out the hard way that cutting corners on your fat compromises the end result and its freezer...- squirrel

Probably the most fashionable term for it. I would call it someplace to shoot a bunch deer while not getting wet with snakes crawling into the bag...- squirrel

Stacking Stones
Lotta you guys are mis-reading this. I was TOLD to re-build it... I counter-offered to stay clear while SHE re-built it... the stones all being right there where they fell to. Now I MAY fix the bridge where the stacked limestone is capped with a 1950's concrete pour. But I am busy with a bit...- squirrel

Stacking Stones
Nah the shitter is a two holer just outside the door with a concrete cap over the tank. An old but modern windmill(galvanised iron) is 50 yards away probably tapped into the original well for the stone house. This stacked rock well is almost a mile away and not next to any structure at all...- squirrel
