Several years ago I went from tent camping to a converted horse trailer and eventually to a hard side A-frame pop-up for deer camp. Got real tired of putting it up in snow and rain as well as worrying that something would leak. Sold the A-frame late last year and started saving for the next...
Stopped at the local home improvement store for a few items yesterday and witnessed the most infuriating display of human behavior. There were two individuals wearing the "independent contractor" vests prowling the aisle trying to sell solar systems with the "sky is falling" method of sales...
My wife and I are planning our annual trip East from Sacramento CA area to Mid-Michigan. We have done the I-80, I-70 and I-40 routes and this year would like to cover the Northern Tier states. On the return leg we would leave central Michigan exit the state through the UP and enter Wisconsin...
Not an issue or a complaint. Wanted to say Thank-you to the residents of Idaho who allow me to visit your State each fall and hunt your whitetail deer herd. 2024 was a wet and warmer than usual deer camp for me and I was able to harvest a nice buck. Home now and looking forward to all the...
Last Thursday I had the good fortune to harvest one of God's beautiful creatures, whitetail buck, in Northern Idaho. I was using my 270Win I purchased last year and shooting the Hornady Outfitter ammo with the 130 grain CX bullet (sexy looking ammo by the way). This is my first experience with...
Thought I would post this here as I think I have the best chance of getting a true answer. While shooting yesterday I noticed that the bullet holes had a black ring on the paper almost like carbon or oil was on the bullet when it went through the paper. I do not recall this happening in the...
My wife and I quit smoking a couple months ago and are feeling the few extra pounds that have creeped on since quitting. I have never been one to go to a gym choosing instead to work outdoors as my strength and cardio. We are considering a gym membership now and I am looking for...
My BIL brought up the idea of raising a couple hogs as a way to fill a freezer. We have zero experience raising livestock but with both of us being retired, what else do we have to do.
We (I) have identified the breed of hog that we want to raise and have talked to a breeder about getting a...
I have been on the hunt for an RCBS press for the past couple months. I think I want a Rock Chucker but see several other single stage presses out there. For loading one caliber (.270) does the press type matter? Will a Rebel or Partner press from RCBS do everything I need to do?
Looking at reloading for the first time and I see a lot of recommendations to get a reloading manual. What is in a reloading manual that is so important other than specs on a specific cartridge (powder and bullet combinations, cartridge overall length etc.)? I have seen some say that the...
I suffer from chronic cluster headaches which is said to be the worst pain known to man. The condition is said to affect 1 in 1000 mostly men. I have wondered if when you look at a football stadium packed to the gills, how many people in that crowd have been diagnosed? Given the size of the...
As a non-resident I used to be able to walk into the Cabela's in Post Falls ID in November and buy a tag on my way to deer camp. Started buying tags in February just because I knew I would be going again in November.
I understand the theory behind limits placed on Non-resident tags and to...
Posted in Fireside but may get some traction here. I have a box of a couple hundred rounds of what looks like 5.56 military brass. Is it worth anything? anybody want it? Box weighs at least 10 pounds.
Would love to have a shop/barn to store toys (travel trailer, boat etc) but cannot swallow the entire cost in one go. Last estimate I got a couple years ago was north of $100 grand for a 40x60 red iron building. The estimate was bare ground to turn key if that makes a difference. The building...
