  1. You are killing me here!!! I want a filled out listing of the complete "Herd" you are thinning. lol
  2. I use these. I have tried others but prefer these. The bullet loads tip into the chamber, 3 50 grain 777 pellets in it for my load and the primer goes in the little half moon shaped cup on the cover. Picture this. I'm right handed so these stay in my right pocket. to load the butt is on my foot and left hand holding the muzzle. reach into my right pocket with my right hand and take this out. pop the top with a flip of my thumb nail and dump the pellets down the barrel. flip the speed loader over and place it over the muzzle with the base of the bullet headed into the barrel and hold it there while grasping the muzzle now with my right hand. I remove the ram rod with my left hand and ram right through the speed loader (my encore has a bullet seating pocket so the bullet goes in it depth with almost no pressure. My Traditions has the same set up). once the tip of the ram rod is even with the top of the speed loader I pull the speed loader off, finish seating the bullet to my index line like Turkeyfeathers mentioned and pick up the gun. remove the old primer and flick the new primer into the pocket without removing it from the cover first. It sounds complicated but it is unbelievably fast. https://www.muzzle-loaders.com/accessories/thompson-center-magnum-quick-shot-loaders.html
  3. Im not talking down but pay attention to how the speed loader is designed and used. Make sure when using it the designed way the bullet will be dispensed the proper direction. ( I almost did it wrong. Lol)
  4. If the gun is 50 cal buy 50 cal speed loaders. A bare bullet like a power belt is 50 cal. A sabot with bullet in it is 50 cal. So either will fit a 50 cal speed loader. Same for 45
  5. was never a lack of energy on the last two I had either.
  6. I'm toying with the idea of trying to train him to find sheds.
  7. Well I made two mistakes last night. I went to look at some puppies and I brought my daughter with me...lol. I've had two English Springers before. I love the breed. I wanted a male. What I have never seen before were tri-color Springers. This litter had 10 puppies. 7 liver tri's and 3 black tri's. The tri color really shows up more pronounced on the blacks but both black tri males were already sold. Well this guy was the one that really was the most outgoing in terms of pursuing contact with us. He was the fattest in the litter. Both parents are on site and they were unbelievably friendly even when handling the pups. Mother is a liver tri and father is a black tri. (think color like a Bernese Mountain dog) You can't see it too good on his back but there is white lightening bolt. Since my daughter is a huge Harry Potter fan she immediately commented on how the bolt looks like Harry's scar. So meet Potter, my new hunting buddy. I pick him up on January 27th. Born on Dec 10th. 7 more available guys and gals. This is the third litter for the parents and probably the mother's last. All the previous litters are still healthy.
  8. to add to what loworange88 said. avoid touching the pellets with your hands (also should be the same when loading or putting into speed loaders). The oils/moisture on your hands can effect their burn or ignition.
  9. Happy Birthday Jay. Have a few Mortalis to celebrate.
  10. Put them on some sort of treated cribbing on either end about them under where the tires will run (about 4' on center. They'll work fine and be very rot resistant. of you have any potential for heavy flow that could wash it down stream, I suggest cabling it to a tree on either end.
  11. Here is Moog's bridge. That was a LONG day...lol Might want to "log cabin an abutment on each side and then use logs to span. It will help with the wash outs.
  12. I have heard of using pine oil. I think that pine oil is used in pine sol so that may be the link.
  13. To everyone on the site and your families as well.
  14. 1 hour for 1" to 1-1/2" steak. and an hour per inch of thickness. Nice thing is it can stay in the water bath for 4 hours and NEVER over cook. 6# Christmas boneless prime rib will be sous vide this year
  15. <<<<< what CORY said. You get a sous vide and you won't even have to think about putting a perfectly cooked, great tasting and juicy steak on the plate. It almost jumps on there itself. I use Anova
  16. It's been pretty ...no REALLY slow since the property we have been trapping was under about 10-12 inches of snow since the storm (not counting drifts). Then with above freezing temps during the day and below at night we were considering pulling everything this weekend. Well on todays check we finally broke the drought. This was a pipe dream set, 4 coil dogless bridger #2. Bedded in waxed sand. it still pushed through the crust to make the catch. This is snipped out of a video but I have no idea how to do a video on here.
  17. disclaimer...I AM NOT SAYING TO DO THIS----lol----I did mine last year. It's a little unorthadoxed and I am SURE not encouraged by manufacturers. I changed out all the strings on mine last year like this and no issues at all. If one actually broke you need the press. $150 is highway robbery. it took me 10 minutes.
  18. here are the board dimension if you do make your own. https://www.mdwfp.com/media/4183/boardsizesinstructions.pdf
