    High Fence or Free Range?

    I had never given half a thought to KS beyond look out for flying houses, but googling it KS is only 1.9% public land, clocking in just above RI. I vote leave KS for a state that’s not such crap, and never worry about it again.

    Corn and antlers

    I was just listening to an interesting bit about healthcare for rural seniors. I wasn’t ware that, in order to qualify for Medicare, a senior needs to have used up all of their assets. Additionally, one must be in the Medicare program for 5 years before you can access long term care (nursing...

    150 years old, and you trust it enough to shoot it? You’re braver than I.

    Weird Hunting Traditions

    I think the closest thing to a tradition that I’ve developed is making my wife come out with me on one or two evening hunts in the early deer season. Not the best time to find blacktails, but it’s gotta warm, dry, and can’t be before noon, otherwise she won’t go.

    VERY cool Leupold......

    Not specifically, I meant just the general line of jokes mixed in with real opinions in this thread. The Atlatl being too advanced really did it hahaha

    VERY cool Leupold......

    Some folk here remind me of my dad. When I took up hunting he asked “knife or spear? Anything more isn’t hunting, it’s assassination. The animal should have an equal chance to kill you, too.” He’s the only staunch anti-hunter that I know.

    VERY cool Leupold......

    The price makes sure I’ll never own one, but being able to perfectly drop a pin on where one saw the animal drop, or otherwise last know whereabouts, seems like a good thing to me.

    Washington Post Opinion Piece Completely Misses the Point

    Thank you for the info and the link. All the same, I’ll keep writing my congressmen to push for public access to every parcel of public land.

    Washington Post Opinion Piece Completely Misses the Point

    Regarding this part, is there any reason the federal govt can’t simply claim eminent domain over the land that would become an easement? They’d be compensated to some degree, and it’d save the time (and likely some govt $$) of haggling over a price.

    Washington Post Opinion Piece Completely Misses the Point

    It seems like such an easy thing to legislate, mandatory public accessibility to all public lands. Not to say there’s not still a lot of nuance to it, and writing good legislation wouldn’t be time consuming, but getting bipartisan support for it should be as simple as it gets.

    How do you volunteer in your Community?

    I don’t volunteer much, admittedly. I’m on the elections committee of my union, and I’m a regular blood donor, but that’s about it. My OHA chapter has a few vacant board seats that I’ve thought about volunteering for one, but I want to get a better understanding of what that entails beforehand.

    I shouldn’t be looking at guns.

    2 questions: 1) Where can one browse used guns from private sellers online that you can get in hand the next day? Do you have a local classifieds for your area or something? Anything of the sort for my area prohibits selling firearms, so I’m very interested if there’s a gun Craigslist that I...

    Do you use a scope with target turrets?

    Honestly, I don’t know. I did get a new scope, and it seems like it might have this capability(?)…but if it does, I have no idea how to use it so it might as well not.

    Communication in Business

    About 99%. The backyard measures out as it should according to the tax & zoning measurements. It’s a simple rectangle, so the front yard lines should continue straight from the back fences, but they don’t. The front “yard” is about 6-7ft narrower that it should be. The thing that adds complexity...

    Communication in Business

    People are special. Sounds like a lot of cases of “lack of planning on your part doesn’t constitute an emergency on my part”. Out curiosity, in very broad estimates, what’s it cost to survey the boundaries of a developed residential plot? My wife and I want to redo our fencing, but the current...

    Are these bullets tumbling?

    Thanks! Luckily I’m not leaning on this one to be a big game rifle, as I have others for that. The real saving grace is that it’s a Rossi trifecta, so it has a 20ga & 22lr barrel that interchange as well. Those two work just fine, hold zero, pattern well, etc. It’s just the 243 barrel that gives...

    Are these bullets tumbling?

    So, I should try a lighter projectile?

    Are these bullets tumbling?

    Took my Rossi single shot 243 to the range today. This rifle has given me nothing but trouble, and I’ve never been able to get a good zero on it. I slapped a scope from one of my other rifles on it (since I know this one isn’t faulty), to try to eliminate that aspect. Anyway, went to zero it...
