Facebook Marketplace Gold
Yes, thankfully the check was good. Loan has been paid off and all is clear. It was definitely right on the cusp of spidey sense saying "no deal" but he did provide enough info for me to do some verification of who he was and all that. I did a lot of praying for the deal to go through too.- np307

Facebook Marketplace Gold
Honestly I broke the rule that I had been sticking to the whole time, which was no listing ever gets pulled until cash is in hand. If I had stuck to my guns then it would've probably avoided all the headache.- np307

Facebook Marketplace Gold
Not necessarily gold but definitely a case study in Marketplace behavior. So the last hurdle to shutting the business down has been selling off the skid steer. I needed it to load a lot of the other equipment I sold but now its time has come. 230 hours on a 2020 machine, basically new. Plenty of...- np307

Is it possible?
@TrapperJ don't take reloading advice from a forum as a beginner. If it's a topic you're interested in, buy a copy of The ABC's of Reloading and comb through it several times. It's not the kind of thing you need to get into without thoroughly understanding the risks involved and the critical...- np307

Recovering from an awful hunting season
Practice in all its forms. Squirrel hunting, range time, and dry fire practice. All of it is very important. The squirrel hunting should help you calm yourself before taking a shot. Range time for being able to gauge how you're actually shooting. Dry fire time build muscle memory that doesn't...- np307

Best whitetail state
What do you want out of the hunt? You can have a lot of fun on public in the SE but you aren't going to find "big" deer by Midwest standards. -
As they lay
Big buck came by pushing a doe this morning. I'm in the thick stuff and he never even slowed down, even when I grunted. Spike was much more tentative and it cost him.- np307

Matt Rinella knocking it outta the park
I feel so bad for people who have never had to go toe-to-toe with a gobbler on public in the Southeast.- np307

2025 Garden!
Cut my napas today. They did really well. Should make a good batch of kimchi with plenty left over for stir fry and other stuff.- np307

Matt Rinella knocking it outta the park
So is your belief that companies shouldn't be able to develop and sell products to hunters? And that hunting nonprofits must disavow any corporate connections? I dont see much hope for effective advocacy if thats the case. When you talk about BHAs drive for recruitment, are you speaking of...- np307

Matt Rinella knocking it outta the park
You're conflating issues. Reducing the role of Ryan Callaghan as BHA's new CEO to "selling side-by-sides" to their constituency is a ridiculous exercise. Matt Rinella's unserious and unrealistic perception of the hunting and conservation landscape is what I have an issue with from him...- np307

Matt Rinella knocking it outta the park
What a jack donkey. If he thinks the corner crossing and public land transfer issues didnt require BHA to have corporate backing, then I've got a bridge to sell him.- np307

What a time to be alive
I wonder where its being produced. I piped (and then re-piped because the dairy plant didnt want to pay a process engineer for a multi-million dollar deal) the process lines for the plant that produces most of the Tillamook ice cream in the southeast. One of my first jobs as a fitter/sanitary...- np307

Are tungsten turkey loads worth the money?
For me, being able to downsize my gun and still be comfortable at 40, even 50 if I misjudge, is well worth it to me. Im personally not a fan of the 3.5" 12 ga loads that people are blasting birds at 100 yards with. Lead will kill them just fine though. One note about chokes, tss doesn't...- np307

2025 Garden!
Pulled the first broccoli off. Still getting peppers. Peas are close to throwing some pods. Napa cabbage just about ready to take. Regular cabbage pretty small. Chard and collards I think are too much for the bed they're in. That bed may need nitrogen too. Garlic and onion sets pretty much all...- np307
