I had that exact scope on my rifle and “upgraded” to a VX-6 2-12. I liked the 2.5-8 better. Someday I’ll buy another rifle for the sole purpose of giving that scope a home.
I’ll give it a watch. I know when we put our little corgi down this spring she took a chunk of my soul with her. I told myself never again, but here I am 4 months later, looking at pictures of Brittany pups. Dogs are special.
3 weeks. You start at 0 hours and have to accrue it. No unpaid time allowed. We, just recently, were given 5 sick days per year (must accrue as well) so that definitely helps. The insurance is damn good and the hours allow me to spend time with my kids every single day.
I was up at a buddy’s cabin last weekend on a lake that is probably pretty appropriate for wake boats. Good sized and deep. The dads got up early to take the kids fishing so the moms could enjoy a peaceful cup of coffee. We were anchored in a pontoon on a shallow weed flat 6-7 feet deep. Only...
If it’s anything like last year, you’ll have a blast. Grouse numbers were ridiculous. I haven’t heard how they are looking this year. Good luck and welcome to Minnesota.
I can’t even take my kids fishing on the lakes around home with decent water quality because of the surf boats. It’s ridiculous. You couldn’t hardly invent a more destructive machine if you tried. Lake bottoms and shorelines are being destroyed, not to mention the enjoyment of every other person...
I’m doing about a 125 acre prairie restoration on the family farm. The lance-leaf coreopsis is going bonkers right now. Not much else is blooming quite yet.
And better yet, hunting boots.
A good follow, if you’re on Facebook, is National Snakebite Support. I’ve learned a lot from it. It’s mostly useless knowledge due to where I live, but still quite interesting.
About 70% of the bites in that study were from nonvenomous snakes. I wonder what the stats on bite location would have been if they separated it by venomous vs non venomous?

It may have been a stretch for me to say the VAST majority of snakebites occur on the lower body, but in this study of 450 snake bites in North America, the majority definitely were. There’s a lot of interesting information in it. That said...
