    Moving to the South?

    Oklahoma wouldn't be too bad. You could probably buy a whole small farm with house for the price of homes in the Gallatin valley. Smaller schools, good deer and hog hunting, etc.

    Whitetail hunting the rain

    I hunt as long as it's not pouring. Need to be able to blood trail so no iffy shots. One of those Treebrellas in addition to good rain gear works pretty good on rainy days. I think deer seem to be more at ease and move around a bit more when it's dark and raining.

    Little things that bother you. OCD or poor design?

    How come all the manholes in many city streets are lined up right in the path of tire travel rather than centered in the lane where you would straddle them? And why are they always a little lower than the road surface creating a bump?

    Any auto body guys here?

    Regarding the oil based -vs- water based part of this discussion I believe nearly all new automobiles now are painted with a water based paint due to environmental concerns. We built a new paint shop for the Subaru plant and water based is all they use. Note - I don't think it's a type of water...

    Don't look a gift elk in the mouth ( or don't hate me)

    First year we moved to the farm I shot a deer out the back door. Felt kind of weird, like it wasn't hunting, not much fun to me. Decided I wouldn't do that anymore. Totally legal and legit and I'm not hacking on you, just sharing my opinion as someone who has done the same. Nice freezer full...

    Hunting elk with my 90-year-old dad

    That's awesome. My dad is 94 and still in great shape. He'd like nothing more than to be around here this fall deer hunting, but my step mom's health is not as good so they are staying put. He killed a nice eight point whitetail 2-3 years ago when he last hunted with us.

    Making a job change possibly...what would you do?

    Just because you started your career in education doesn't mean you need to spend the rest of your working days in education. However, I would not take a $30k pay cut. Find something in the private sector closer to your salary needs, $70k Is not to difficult to find in todays market. Look...

    Teach me about Wyoming mule deer

    If you come from whitetail country (like me), just getting out and hunting in good mule deer country is enough reward. Always amazes me how the hay fields fill up with mulies in the evenings, then at daylight they disappear into the foothills to bed down. Not unusual to see 100 or more in...

    Taking clients hunting: Give me pointers

    Excellent points ! Most anybody in sales for long has spent a lot of time and $$ to try and sell prospects, then got the shaft due to their relationship with your competitor or simply low price. Spend the $$ on those that spend $$ with you.

    Taking clients hunting: Give me pointers

    I've done lots of this sort of thing. Best advice I could give would be just have fun and develop a relationship. Keep business out of it, this is for fun. Don't even talk about business unless they bring it up and then keep it brief. Hunting, fishing, golf, boating, whatever ....... a few...

    Is .5 HP Grinder enough?

    1/2 HP will do the trick if only doing one deer by yourself. Better than a hand crank, but it's a bit slow. I'd step up a notch or two in size.

    Slugs in a Smoothbore?

    I grew up with a similar situation in Indiana. This was what was legal. Best smooth bore setup I had (still have) was a Ithaca 37 Deerslayer w/ smooth bore, improved cylinder, receiver mounted scope, shooting 2-3/4" Brenneke rifled slugs. Shot a lot of deer 50-100 yards.

    Stuff you don't like for no good reason

    Not a fan of Torx head. I buy Phillips head whenever possible. Don't see too many slotted screws in use anymore.

    A Proper Sheep Rifle

    Good choice of rifles ! I hunted Dall Sheep in AK in 1996. Being an avid Jack O'Conner reader, I found a pre 64 Winchester .270, put a Weaver K6 on it and used it to kill my sheep. Two of us on the trip, both killed sheep one shot with .270's, never had any really difficult long shots, and...
