Small Bullets (.224) and BIG game
The viability of smaller calibers on big game has been pretty well hashed out at this point. I cant imagine there's too many forum frequenters left who haven't formulated their opinion even in light of the rokslide threads. My favorite rifle to carry deer hunting is my Ruger Ranch 5.56 and it...- np307

Metalworking Hunttalkers!
Needed to get some reinforcements on my pipe rack so I started it yesterday but couldn't finish. Crazy wind today so I had to break out the stick welder. Got it finished though.- np307

Yeah I like running it on bigger stuff that I dont care about aesthetics for since I don't have a shop. Other than that though I dont really care for it. Never had a chance to run much dual shield at work either.- np307

Neighbor brought over some stuff and asked for a hand after finding out that flux core is a pain on thin stuff. Got to practice some torch cutting as well.- np307

Got a call from the friend who has me weld the transmission drums asking if I could build him a couple carts similar to what they have in the shop but improved for their purposes. Drew it up and got the green light so I'll go pick up material today and hopefully get them built and delivered next...- np307

2026 Garden
Well now I'm in the camp of yall cold weather people I guess. Garden beds covered in snow/ice since Saturday and another wave coming this weekend. Barely above freezing most days. Just when I was getting excited about getting peas and potatoes in.- np307

Winter storm binge watch’s
About an inch of snow and sleet here, no appreciable ice yet. Second wave of moisture coming through this afternoon may bring some but we'll see. Life's good here though.- np307

When does the fever hit you? (Buck fever)
With deer its before because there's usually a period of waiting for the shot to present itself. With turkeys its after because there's so much going through my head trying to make the right decision on calling and waiting and so often the bird appears suddenly. But once he starts flopping and I...- np307

Winter storm binge watch’s
Latest call for us is 1.5" of snow and sleet followed by .6" of ice. Not good, especially with forecast lows Monday of 6. I'm sure I'll be binge watching Bluey again, though I also plan to watch the fireplace while picking on my guitar.- np307

Do any top new country stars
Now is the golden age of whatever kind of music you like best, as long as you're cool not getting it from the radio. There's always been a major part of country music that was performer focused and not singer-songwriter focused. Depending on what kind of country you pine for, you might be...- np307

I want to be a suppresor owner, where to start
1) Suppressors have been around for 100 years and are only not ubiquitous in the US hunting community because of the NFA. The rest of the hunting world uses them and has for years. Definitely not a fad. 2) some of us hunt in areas where things happen quickly at close ranges. We rely on our... -
2026 Garden
Looking good. I still have 3 cabbages I haven't cut and the current warm spell has some more broccoli trying to fill out. It might last long enough to get a few decent heads. Starting to look toward spring and make a game plan.- np307

Late Season NC Public Land 10 PT With Some Regret
Nothing wrong with limiting yourself on shots based on what you're comfortable with. You might do a little more reading on neck shot placement before you write it off completely. If the deer was facing you straight on, you could have also taken a frontal shot and been in the boiler room. One...
