    game sled, roll-up/packable type any good?

    Have to cinch them up and then have a drag tie in front that lifts the front off the ground a bit while pulling. They will roll over and you will be getting dirt and debris in the sled if they aren't cinched up well before starting. The one I have is a pain as the slick side comes curled up...

    game sled, roll-up/packable type any good?

    The deer sleigh-rs and similar I have lots of experience with. Going back to the 70's--a hunting partner who worked at Honeywell got some slick plastic and made one initially. Black bear and deer, not elk though. And mostly flat ground. If they pull hard you are doing it wrong--flip it over...

    Football General Talk

    One cool and one rough year, after the bounty loving Saints darn near killed him with the officials blessing. I defended Rogers for years. Stopped a few years before he left the Packers. No way the Vikings would take him now--the other Jets castoff is doing OK and showing some athletic...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    I agree with your thought that Biden's tariffs were more targeted--some in fact (semiconductor and solar panels for example) were clearly designed to boost domestic production and not be so reliant on country's we can't count on. I for one never implied all of Bidens tariffs were OK--but that...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    Nope--inflation is a constant. Unless some of us are old enough to remember the conditions before or into the late 1930's the last US long term average I saw was 3.7 percent. Right before the election the rate of inflation was around 2.5 percent for the previous year--roughly the same as the...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    Reality bites, for those who refuse to accept it.... https://www.reuters.com/world/us/does-trump-really-want-compare-now-four-years-ago-2024-10-30/ I will ask again, what metric to people want to return to?

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    My records are pretty similar to publically available data ..I have done far better in investments under dem administrations. Thats more due to what they haven't done than anything done to aid the economy. I greatly fear the coming stagflation the incoming one will lead to if their plans come...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    Most all measures have returned to pre covid or near conditions. The popular narrative from some media sources is simply wrong. Gas prices, inflation, jobs, all very near or better than your chosen time. What did you want things restored to?

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    FWIW abuse of immigrants and work safety violations are something we all should work to end. I noted a few other meat packing plants--HIGHLY prone to this it appears--pinched for employing teenage immigrants in positions they had no business doing--again--recently. BUT I fail to see the link...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    Nowhere did I...or would I...say I support illegal immigration. Let's not forget the "they are eating our pets" charges lobbied against Ohio immigrants HERE LEGALLY. They have given no indication they care about that key difference We badly need an improved and orderly immigration process...

    Tariffs and Potential Inflation

    Iowa and Nebraska and other Midwestern states depend HEAVILY on immigrant labor too. They pick our food, work large dairy operations, process our meat. Tariffs combined with an active anti immigrant and deportation plan will be a double whammy for our economy. Stagflation...new word of the day.

    New truck with hail damage

    What is the new truck? Another Ram? 6 cylinder pentastar or new twin turbo hurricane 6? The former has a rep of being a bit of a dog, the latter is very new. I'm shopping for next spring and have driven a twin turbo 6...impressive. better mpg and more power than the outgoing hemi. Like my 13...

    SD's Thune picked to head Senate

    He just appointed someone from the oil industry to head the department of energy. The "swamp" is rapidly being rebuilt.

    SD's Thune picked to head Senate

    He's appointing authors of Project 25 to positions left and right. Lots of discussion on this board about it in the past too. Remember his promise to the oil industry? Give me money and I'll make you richer than you are? Well they gave him money. LOTS of it.

    SD's Thune picked to head Senate

    What do folks that know him think--will he stand up to Trumps 2025 plan to decimate/sell public lands? From what I have seen from afar he may not be as loony as some in his party and is a classic politician but hasn't been terribly friendly to sportsmen or public lands.

    MN DNR in the news

    My take--haven't talked to fisheries folks about it yet--but last year there was pressure from legislators and an upstart fishing group to lower the limit. At the time pretty sure the word was it wouldn't have much impact. But technology is scaring folks--especially the side scanning stuff...

    Introduction to Muzzleloading

    How much blackthorn? I find my muzzy easier on the shoulder than most of my rifles, but I just run 100 grains of triple 7. YouTube can be your friend. Traditions has some nice vids for their guns not sure about others. The traditional shooters are declining around us. I would not start...
