    Battery Chainsaw - Bar Oil or Olive Oil?

    I didn't use my chain saw for game processing. I used 30w motor oil as chain lube. Now low weight oil 0-20 might be better. It is thinner in cold weather than 30w.

    Any recommendations for a cheap borescope?

    Title is a little confusing, and I think you misunderstood what OP was asking. He is actually looking for a device to inspect the condition of the bore and rifling, not sighting in a scope. If he does need to bore sight, your suggestion is excellent. A little more precision can be obtained if...

    This is your property classification and appraisal notice

    Yes partially. The Insurance Companies calculate what it would cost to rebuild your house in case of a total loss, so increased cost of materials certainly figures into that.

    Government bailed out the ones that didn't have flood insurance but suffered a loss. They were the ones that did not live in a flood threat zone, so they could have purchased the insurance for around $300. They're the same ones that said "Flood Insurance, it never floods here." Then they lost...

    This is your property classification and appraisal notice

    You guys are lucky you aren't required to buy flood insurance. We have to have it here if the house is financed, so the lienholder is protected against flood damage to the house. Those prices have doubled in the last two years. A policy that cost $550 two years ago is now $1400. That is if you...

    Elk Outfitter Recommendations for CO

    I think the only problem might be OP wanted to stay around 5k for the price. Might be a little tough. Good Luck, he might be able to swing a deal for all four hunters to go for 5k each. Most guided hunts I have seen were double that if lodging and meals are included.

    Elk Outfitter Recommendations for CO

    I watch Man vs Elk on TV, and they are always advertising drop hunts for $2500 per hunter. They drop you off and come back to pack you and "your elk" out. I think it is "The Elk Ranch" or something like that. They also offer bow and rifle hunts on their ranch, but none appear to be horseback...

    How to get the smoke smell out of bear hide

    Maybe sprinkle with some baking soda, roll it up hair side together and let it stay in a plastic bag for a couple days. Then shake it out real good. Try it a couple times. Good Luck !!

    How to get the smoke smell out of bear hide

    Is it the fur that stinks? Like cigarette smoke, or cooking odors? Or is the hide (skin) itself like it got wet and is rotting?

    Ammo issue, or rifle issue? Help me please.

    I'm not sure I would want any more of their ammo. Maybe get them to send you some primed brass instead?

    Polaris UTV negotiation

    I've never shopped for one, but if he won't come down on the price, maybe get him to give you an extended warranty and/or a free service contract (oil changes etc for 5 years).

    UFO's Who's seen em? had encounters??

    Interesting for sure. I wonder what the aliens think when they look at us putting up windmills for energy even though we have harnessed nuclear fission.

    Winter is gone and bad weather is here.

    I hate the hot weather too. Hard to think about hunting elk when it feels like 110 degrees. Worst part is Hurricane season starts in 2 weeks (June 1st). Here we go again.

    High-End Rifle Scope Discussion

    I'm not familiar with the selection process the Govt uses, but is this choice in optics based on a contract which was awarded by "lowest bid", or did the selection process include extensive testing of several comparable optics by people that are knowledgeable in the field? I'm sure when the...
