    Going on a bear hunt

    Not sure if this has been shared on here before but this video cracks me up everytime I see it.

    Attack on AZ Lion hunting - again

    Comment submitted, glad you are getting the word out! I wouldn't say lions are the only issue we have with poor deer numbers in many parts of CA, but it's definitely not helping that they aren't being controlled. Last year I came across more lion sign than deer sign... not good.

    Start a business to hunt more?

    Quality is a high priority, I also make sure to beef things up when I do a repair to prevent coming back for the same problem. From what I've gathered so far, the rate I chose is plenty enough for what I feel I'm worth yet competitive enough to pick up work that others priced themselves out of...

    Start a business to hunt more?

    Most dairy fencing is built with that stuff, much cheaper than buying new pipe. We have oil fields within 2hrs so there's plenty of supply locally!

    Start a business to hunt more?

    If anyone is interested in an update on my decision to start my own business or not, I took the leap in September. I got a small loan for the equipment I needed to be mobile that I didn't already accumulate over the years. I spent many hours dropping off business cards and talking to potential...

    Will eating meat become illegal?

    Living in central California and working in the ag industry for many years I'd say eating farm raised meat isn't going anywhere any time soon but it's definitely going to get more and more expensive to produce. Imagine living in a rural area with a conservative mindset and lifestyle but...

    Is the Eurasian collared dove regulated in your state: is air gunning for dove legal in your state?

    We can hunt them year round with no limit in CA. We have to hunt lead free but I was told by a game warden that only applies to firearms as the law is written so we can use lead pellets and air rifles legally. I used to shoot the heck out of them around the commodity barn at work on my...

    How did you take up hunting?

    My family (grandfather, uncles, dad etc.) had a big annual dove hunt every year that I took part in from bird dogging before I could legally hunt to taking part in the hunting itself later on. We did that until I was about 21 when my grandfather passed away and after that we don't do it...

    Best subcompact tractor

    I just left a job of 6 1/2 years at a dairy farm as an ag mechanic. Granted I'm a welder not a diesel mechanic but my job was to fix the minor repairs and do services and if it was a big repair I couldn't handle I called the dealer to come out. Between the dairy and heifer ranch we ran, John...

    CZ 457 .22 lr

    I have a cz52 with Williams peep sights I shot as a kid in 4h competitions. It's no Anschuz, but for the money they are great accurate rifles and the walnut sticks are good quality. A scoped 457 is in my future. As a side note, if you buy a cleaning rod make sure it's a .20cal. J Dewey rods...

    Homemade bed slide?

    Agreed, as much as materials cost you'll end up spending the same or more compared to just buying one. The only benefit to making your own is you can make it exactly how you want it. I started my own welding business a few months ago and had someone ask me to build one recently. After quoting...

    Whats your daily driver?

    My last job I drove a 09 f350. You get used to driving it but it sure beats you up. Running errands in a sedan is nice, and the gas mileage is a big plus. I'm keeping mine as long as I can.

    Whats your daily driver?

    05 Silverado 1500 is my work truck. I also drive an 09 Impala for town running and hauling the little guy. I inherited that one when we got my wife a new car. Both vehicles are at 200k miles and still chugging along I'd eventually like to get a 2016+ crewcab Tundra, I can't haul our 1 year...

    Scope suggestion?

    I'll second the VX3HD. I have a 4.5-14 but the 3.5-10 would get the job done easily at that distance. Great glass for the money.

    Looks like a good time! Can wait to take my little guy on small outings like this.

    What do you wear for hearing protection while big game hunting?

    I've been using safariland impulse ear plugs for a couple years when hunting. They worked great dove hunting this season. They aren't the best to use on the range though.

    Buy American made?

    I try to buy American when I can or when it makes sense. On the automotive side of things a few years ago I read an article saying that the Toyota Camry was the "most American vehicle" based on where the parts of the vehicle are from. Not only are they built here but they had the highest...
