    Beautiful. I am on the list for the new Tuffhead Evolution. I ordered some Grizzly Stik Samurai 200’s just in case they don’t come through in time.

    Have you purchased a leather strop yet? I have the KME sharpener, but need to get a strop.

  2. Just to update I went with cutthroat single Bevel and also got some grim reaper mechanicals which will most likely go on the xbow

    Nice. Which Cutthroats did you go with?

  3. Stuff starting to happen here. Corn, cucumbers, peas, peppers, and tomatoes and pumpkins. I was way behind and got the ground plowed with old 3 bottom Allis chalmers trip plow, then disked and planted over Memorial Day Weekend. I know everyone says tomatoes and peppers gotta get started inside, but I spend much more time on my deer food plots than my human food plots. Got about 4 hours in it all in. a4bc4fe422c0f92f88cd6decab03ef3a.jpg

  4. Any friends who have a .223 bolt gun to borrow? Not to hunt with, but a stepping stone. Louder report, but very, very mild recoil. Then move up to .243, .257 Bob, .260, or even 7mm-08 as others have suggested. Plugs and muffs will go a long way too, in addition to form. A lead sled might be a good thing for the introduction too.

  5. The value of American made vintage scopes price wise has gone through the stratosphere in recent years and it does not seem to matter what make they are, across the board commanding big bucks is the rule of the day.
    I picked up a Winchester model 52 bench rifle 20 years ago that had open Olympic sights, my eyes had just begun to start going south so I mentioned to the dealer I may want to mount a period scope on the rifle in the future. So he pulls out a used Redfield 20X 3200 target scope in very good condition and offered it to me for $100 which by the way was the going price back then. Fast forward to today, that same scope now easily goes for over a grand if you can locate one for sale.
    I am constantly scanning ebay for good American made scopes and the days of getting them for a song are long gone. If you can find a nice one for a half way decent price my advice is buy it because they are only going to continue their upward climb in value.

    I’m seeing that now. Makes me cringe to think how many I sold not too long ago now that could sell for triple what I got. I remember shooting NRA 4 position small bore and using a 20x Unertl scope. They were considered “fine” but were often traded out for newer, even Chinese stuff. They bring crazy money now. This was only about 15-17 years ago.

  6. It’s for an older Savage 99. I’ve got a bunch of matte VX3’s, but I’d like a gloss finish for this one if I can find a good deal. Everything I’ve seen on EBay seems to be pricey. I’d entertain the compact line, Vari-X II, Vari-X III, or even a fixed power. Hoping to find one that someone’s had sitting around for a while that they’d part with.

  7. Is in good shape for a 98 and purr's with 263k miles on it.deff not something looking to get rid of anytime soon as has more sentimental value as it was my grandfathers.am happy to hear the reactions on how these trucks run though!!!!put it on road 2 weeks ago and so far am happy with it.playing around with evap issue now,going to start going down the list

    That’s great! I hope I didn’t offend you at all saying I’d be interested in buying it. I read it was your grandpa’s and knew it wouldn’t be fit sale. Was more trying to reiterate that it’s a cool truck. Enjoy it! They’re a lot easier to work on than the newer ones!

    That thing is in great shape! Those 4.3 pushrod v6’ers are great! If you wanna sell it, I’m interested!

  9. How did the WI Fusion work for you? I have a bag that I plan to use for a backyard plot that I want to seed in the next 1-2 weeks. Need to remove a few small trees in the next week and hopefully it dries up a bit. If I absolutely have to, I'll wait until late summer to plant.

    I don’t have a lot of experience with other stuff, but I loved it. Used it for the first time before they changed to name to Fusion. I really only went to straight clover this frost seeding time to give me more herbicide options than with the chicory in there. Thinking I’ll overseed some other goodies in spots later this year too.

  10. I posted earlier about my two larger clover plots, but I am also planning for small kill plots and trail plantings this spring as well. What would be some recommendations for this application? These would be more about trying to encourage deer to stop and hang out for a minute or at least go by this way on the way to the destination plots.

  11. I am frost seeding whitetail institute clover into two stands (one 5 acres, one about 4) of what was Fusion (chicory and clover) that was planted 2 years ago. I’ve only ever mowed it, never applied any chemicals to it. What would be the best to spray this plot with once it dries up enough in a month or so to drive a tractor on it?
