Decided to tap some walnut trees this year to make syrup. Built and evaporator from a stove steel drum kit and an evaporator I bought from amazon. I pulled my taps and froze the sap, went on a fishing trip. Will boil the sap this weekend.
Just got finished boiling some water and this is what I ended up with. Seems pretty bad. I ordered a hardness test so I can properly size a water softener. This seems excessive, even without a test. Wondering if I need some kind of filter before the water softener. This is city water...
I was outside skinning a doe I shot on Thursday when an outfitter pulled up on his 4 wheeler. He owns a 40 acre parcel adjacent to my property. Said he gut shot a good buck but gave up tracking the deer because he was entering the "sanctuary". The sanctuary is a bedding area on his property...
I am considering buying a golden retriever. Medical records of both dam and sire look great however both have Ichthyosis which is a skin condition. In layman's terms it sounds like dandruff, can be mild or extreme. It is a recessive gene but both parents have that gene any pups they have will...
I'm in the path for what remains of Beryl. Its been raining for about 10 hours now and reminded me of some flash flooding that occurred while I was at my cabin. Unfortunately i had traded my ranger tremor for my son's SUV trying to diagnose an intermittent misfire he was having. Ended up being...
Up for grabs is an old school gas can that doesnt require an engineering degree and a third arm to use. Simply unscrew the cap, extend the spout and remove vent cap. Easily fill a lawn tractor, atv, or side by side. Willing to make trade on swaro optics or rifles from seekins or fierce. No...
Allright huntalkers, what thread kept you coming back for more? The ones you knew you were going to get a good laugh. Its been an odd year with some old time members bidding farewell (willm, jls, douglasr). So what thread deserves the honor of being the thread of the year?
I have a pre-1900 Winchester 1887 12 guage that had its barrel swedged (spelling?). From what I understand a gunsmith would heat up the end of barrel and constrict the end from say an improved cylinder to a full choke. Of course this is way before threaded choke tubes. My question is how...
Rumor has it that Wyoming will be releasing these mini deer into the wind river range. When population objectives are met a hunting season will be created. Resident tags will be $1.89, while Non-resident tags will be $11,790.00...

Like the title says, Lightfield is no longer making hunting ammunition. I have a first production run of a Browning 12 guage A-bolt shotgun with a twist rate of 1:32. The newer models are now made with a 1:28 to better support the increased velocity of today's sabot slugs. I used...
Someone on another hunting forum I am on posted this article. I thought it worth posting here. I was surprised how much of the revenue to support the department came from preference point sales...
