    Primal Rights CPS primer seater

    My gosh that guy handled this thread poorly! I appreciated his offer to buy it back and pay the OP for his trouble, but the hatred of someone having a problem and posting a thread was crazy! I shouldn’t be surprised that he never made good on his promise. He seemed like a real jerk in the post...

    Primal Rights CPS primer seater

    If you uniform your primer pockets(OP says he does) then I don’t understand how hand priming can be inferior to anything else. My cheap RCBS with a tray makes it pretty darn quick. That said, I can’t say that I’ve ever tested it. I would be interested see some well done direct comparisons of...

    NM Unit Wide Tag - Landowner liability?

    A lot of states in the US have laws automatically eliminating liability for land owners if the hunters didn’t pay or trade something for the privilege. I believe I heard this in the Meateater podcast, so don’t hold me to it.

    Building your own stock

    I would love a few stocks worth of wood, but I feel like shipping wouldn’t be cheap. The benchrest stock that I made was usable, but not what I had imagined when I started. I would need more experience and equipment to do it perfectly.

    NM Unit Wide Tag - Landowner liability?

    That’s a good question, and I don’t know the answer, but I would assume that what you mean by “does the state offer any legal protections against claims” is important. I doubt that the state is going to pay your legal fees or hire you a lawyer, although maybe they will. I do suspect however that...

    Scope looks canted

    That assumes that you have a scope with better than average internals. When you dial a scope, you push a tube up/down, or left/right with one adjuster, but that tube is in contact with another adjuster. Tubes are round. When you push the tube left or right with the windage adjustment, it can...

    Day Trespass fees for turkeys and deer

    I have lost access to outfitters. I expect to lose more. I’ve been told “no” in a face to face exchange with the actual land owner only once. I’ve been told “yes” over the phone, only once. If calling is your only option, then expect 1/10 at best. Face to face is more time consuming, but it...

    Comment here on eradication of NEPA

    As far as I can tell, NEPA is currently 10X the hassle that it was originally. That suggests a problem in my mind. The solution? I don’t know. I’m sure that’s above my pay grade. Currently, I don’t think it’s doing what it should be doing.

    AZ is starting to hit cards for the draw.

    Not many people claiming tags. Does that mean there’s more to come?

    I thought this was a joke....seriously

    700 based action. Good AICS pattern mags. Good I prefer a rounded fore end on a hunting stock because a flat fore end is much more difficult for me to get level when resting on an unlevel surface or when using shooting sticks. I’m sure the stock is great off a front rest or using a bipod...

    Moo-cow headshot - caliber?

    I think personally that I would be considering a 30-30 or .357mag rather than a .22 just for the xtra assurance. That said, my grandpa slaughtered and butchered hogs as a teenager at the children’s home that he grew up in(late 1930’s) and he says a 22lr is all they ever used and it would kill...

    Moo-cow headshot - caliber?

    I know a similar story involving a hog and a 9mm.

    Actual Weight of Meat - Can we be honest?

    Didn’t weigh the head or cape, but this year’s mule deer was 122lbs bone in. That’s quarters, backstraps, tenderloins, rib rolls neck roasts and heart. No way I could have packed that very far in a single load.

    Actual Weight of Meat - Can we be honest?

    I haven’t weighed it separately, but I bet the neck roasts make up a substantial portion of my trim bag’s weight on a bull or buck.

    Actual Weight of Meat - Can we be honest?

    Both rib rolls and neck roasts will weigh about what a hind quarter weighs. So you can add 50-70lbs to your total there. Well, less if your total included neck roasts.

    Would you eat a CWD-positive animal?

    My understanding is that age class and population aren’t really impacted until prevalence is quite high. That makes sense. If only 1-5% have it, well they’re most likely to be older deer because they’ve had more opportunity to be exposed to the rare-ish disease, and then if it takes 16+ months...

    Would you eat a CWD-positive animal?

    So that’s a lot of deer, but the post you quoted was in reference to a post mentioning an entire state, not a 1/4 of a county hot spot. I’m well aware that there are some hotspots with very high prevalence rates. I’m just not sure that any entire states have extremely high statewide prevalence...

    Would you eat a CWD-positive animal?

    Are you admitting that it happens? Scrapie free sheep have contracted scrapie after a stainless steel rubbing post that was used by a scrapie positive sheep was well cleaned and placed in the pen with the scrapie free sheep. A quick Google search shows multiple sources saying CWD can be...

    Would you eat a CWD-positive animal?

    That definitely seems logical. They can’t possibly get brain or lymph nodes to test positive immediately after exposure. It seems logical that plenty of deer that tested negative had already been exposed and made some progression toward the end result. I suppose that’s why results say “not...
