    End of a era

    in General Chit Chat

    Your fear of public land is unfounded for the most part...the past few years you could count the number of shots opening weekend on one hand. Lots of state land out there, scout around, find a place off the hard roads... take a freind and enjoy.

    Grumblings 4F, 7M & 7P

    in Deer Hunting

    Posted

    Here my take on it.... I hunt 7m, this year exclusively. I did not fill a tag, my choice. I passed on alot of doe, and 2 buck that needed a couple more years. Targeted 1 mature 10 point (second year search) he one.... again. The complaints I have noticed boil down to management tactics... Population is high... Dec issues alot of DMPs... I belive this was year 4. 7m offers ALOT of state land with reasonable access. So the past 4 years pressure and take on these areas was very high... Deer aren't dumb... they move deeper, or low pressure private, so now the easy pickings are no longer there. Get off the beaten path, move to the fringes, and the deer were there. Just my take.

    A record 17-foot Burmese python was captured in the Big Cypress National Preserve in south Florida. The female weighed 140 pounds and had 73 developing eggs.
    Florida's war on pythons has escalated to new levels, with a radio transmitter chip in a male snake helping reveal the location of a record 17-foot female captured in Big Cypress National Preserve.
    Interesting way of tracking and eradicating....

    Do you keep old hunting magazines ?

    in General Chit Chat

    Posted

    Old magazines can be worth some dough, especially if they were obtained at subscription prices or a box full bought at a garage sale for a song. There is money to be made if one wants to take the time to mess with them. There are vendors on Ebay that have businesses just selling vintage magazines and old catalogs. Before computers and the internet I bought tons of books and subscribed to many magazines to get info I wanted and at subscription prices most magazines were less than a dollar each. Most on ebay go for ten to twenty dollars on average plus shipping.

    A friend of mines dad past a few years back.... he had subscribed to 3 or 4 hunting magazines and playboy since the mid 60s and kept them all... after his passing my friend had a yard sale and put the full collection out for sale... 2nd customer coughed up $2500 for all of it.... who knew???

    I’ve heard Fix a flat works great but after using that the tire needs to be replaced anyhow. Anybody confirm this ? 
     
    Possibly.... the problem is that is the fix a flat soaks into the rubber, its impossible to get clean enough for the glue to stick... will also void any tire warranty..

    Liquid calcium for food plots?

    in Land Management, Food Plots and QDM

    Posted

    Depends on what it is. Calcium chloride has its moment in the spotlight, it increased the calcium content, but did nothing for the pH. Calcium carbonate can affect both, as a calcium fertilizer and pH adjuster... however there is no magic here. You still need product... and lots of it. It carrys the same weight/pH adjustment as lime. So if you need 1 bag of lime, you need the same 1 bag of calcium carbonate... where this is a real time saver is when you are soil conditioning while planting, such as a hydoseeder or liquid tanks on a no-til. The calcium carbonate seems to dissolve in water quicker, and seems to stay in suspension better at higher load rates, but I have run pelletized lime through my sprayer before with reasonable success... Hope this helps..

    Interesting one- I honestly don’t know what would happen to a kid today if they actually were in a fist fight. Nothing crazy- just two kids disagree; fight with bare knuckle only; and it ends after one gets knocked down- no extra kicks etc. will parents calm the cops? Press charges(for what?)? Sue?
    So many small issues stay unresolved as a result of kids not being able to ”figure it out.” And when it comes to a head, they them just turn to their folks to fix it. Strange days

    Or the kid keeps it pent up until they 1, step in front of a bus or 2, walk in strapped like rambo... it does make for a very sad state of affairs....

    Blue Book Value for a Nylon 66

    in Guns and Rifles and Discussions

    Posted

    Mom had one... kept the squirrels out of the bird feeder.... I'm of view 'it's worth what someone will give you for it', that being said, gun broker listing with actual bids is about what it's worth. If I could actually get what blue book was on what in my case, I would retire.

    Champion or Honda 2000w generator

    in Camping and Hiking

    Posted

    I have a champion 2000w watt inverter... so far 2 seasons running the camper every weekend mid may to mid September... it's still quiet, runs everything but the A/C. About 2 gallons of gas a weekend by starting for coffee 8n the morning, and shutting it off at dark, after dinner. Was very leery to spend $500 on anything from champion but so far its delivered as promised.

    What you all think of this 7m 08 load?

    in Reloading

    Posted

    For that round I would be staying in the 120-140 range. There ins't anything around here, including the targeted pigs that they wouldn't take. IMO, extremes, high or low, whether bullet grains or powder charges are tying to make a caliber do something it isn't best suited for. If I felt I needed to go that heavy, I would be using a 308. I am no old hand at reloading but with any load I have worked up, my firearms seem to always find a sweet spot with moderate bullet grain weights for the caliber and moderate powder charges. 
    Use this as an excuse to buy more guns..... I like it!!

    Knife Steel

    in General Chit Chat

    Posted

    Having a couple knives to get things done in a survival situation where in all reality, unless you have a compound with a fence, you will be on the move more then you would be idle. So, a knife that would be able to split wood could be more of a necessity then a hatchet when it comes to the weight of your pack. You can't really gut game or clean a fish with a hatchet, at least I cant. Just my take on that one.
    I just want to get back into challenging myself and not always use a matches, newspaper, and three gallons of charcoal lighter fluid for making fires.
    It really is a very personal choice, I agree with that 100%. Was my choice the best for an EDC knife? NOPE! But for what want this knife for it will be just fine.
    3 gallons of charcoal fluid???? Tiki fluid works much better... you only need a gallon!! but on a more suggestive note.. I always carry a first aid kit with me. And one thing always in it is hand sanitizer. For some reason when you get cut in the wood it's never a sanitary situation, and as an add on benefit a little in a piece of cotton, cloth, or paper towel and it catches a spark very well even when wet... one of thoughts multi use carry along.

    last one I saw was about the same price...the price on those really went thru the roof...
    Mine is a late '60s tube feed.. bought it from a pawn broker off of gun broker.. it was almost a 2yr process following alot of auctions until I got one priced where I thought it should be.. the carbine is not a tack driver by any means but its accurate enough, and the results are absolutely devastating. Deer fall down on the spot..period... even with less then perfect shots. Its short compact design makes it an absolute joy to carry in the woods. Only downfall is 75 to 100 yards max. But that's where most deer are shot so it fills the bill well!
