Ptarmigans in Colorado
They sound like a flock of chickens, clucking and purring. They dont "hide" in or under cover they just dont move and become rocks with their natural camo. Hike the C-Divide between the Ike tunnel and Buena Vista, they are there but always in pockets. Hot spots tend to stay hot spots...- squirrel

Help Me Legalize Semiauto Rifle Big Game Hunting In Pennsylvania
If you gave the order for Santiago to not be touched, and your orders are always followed, then why would he have to be transferred off base.- squirrel

Lever Monday...post em up
17 pages and no M-71?? WTF? This is as she came since then a peep and sling studs have been added. As big a pain as the .348 is gathering components, I cant imagine what hoops Shrapnel has to jump through for some of his beauties. -
Personal best crappie
They segregate by size so the best place to get a second 16 is within 3' of the first one!! I dont usually shoot crappie but a boat captain kept going on and on and on about crappie this and crappie that... so one time I saw an exceptional crappie and poked it. Turned out to go 16.5". I...- squirrel

CPW shoots lamb-eating wolf, can't find it.
Good to know that he is gone from his home range, since they bumped his old food source across the fence from me. Glad he took his bad habits and went after a whole new herd, though it probably didn't make the new rancher very happy.- squirrel

Help Me Legalize Semiauto Rifle Big Game Hunting In Pennsylvania
20 man deer drives and semi-autos in heavy cover... what could possibly go wrong??? I still can picture my class mate showering after gym class with his exit wound just off the point of his shoulder blade about 5-6" around, beet red, and about 1-1/2" deep from tissue loss. How he didn't die is...- squirrel

Buying property?
Some of the above advice is just plain bad. Search with proper filters the big RE sites. Make sure the dirt is comparable. (timber, tillable, swampy, too steep for anything... etc.). Stay recent, stay local, recent more than local if not much is available. One year ago in todays market is...- squirrel

Mule Deer Buck of a Lifetime
The real story is being missed here, how many times have a bunch of you guys died and what was the interim like (in detail) between your death and the resurrection. Was there a light or anything? Were you able to keep your points? This hasn't happened a lot on this side of the Atlantic or in... -
Whitetail Buck of a Lifetime
yep. Find a nice cute slender girl (>#2... <385#) with a few hundred acres of bottom ground and you will become a much better WT hunter almost overnight... if the bottom ground is inside of a red area. I miss all the big ones over 180" I cannot keep my composure at under 30... -
Solo moose hunting tips and tricks
I've done 3 solo moose. (and a few others with help) One was a few hundred yards to where I could wrestle an ATV. Had him bagged in camp in about 6-7 hrs. Some horse guys happened on me after the shot and pulled him out of a moose wallow into a perfect grassy spot. Made an unbelievable...- squirrel

Pole barn vs Stick Frame
Just remember if you put wood under the ground it is a temporary building... might outlive you but it is still going to fail. concrete to top of slab is immeasurably better then either stick or pole from post bases, pilasters, wall top ... many ways to skin that cat. Just did (still finishing...- squirrel

Anyone have wood floor experience?
Dont overlook self-levelling floor mix for low spots. Possibly grind the high pour the low??? Personally Id rather pour more, or give the grinder to the mrs while I go look for deer sign upwind. Unless you use the new fake wood you are going to need nailers anyway so you can level them as you...- squirrel

Texas flood
Watching a flash flood, wildfire with a tailwind, tornado, etc from close enough that every ounce of you wants to run will educate you as to who is in charge... and he isn't up for election.- squirrel
