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

Goat?
You missed the sarcasm emoji Left = big ol nanny middle is a 1-1/2 billie still running with his mama. 3rd was sarcastic horse face. Those little polar bears sure are cute. Huge goats are almost always alone or in groups of <4 in my experience, usually alone.- squirrel

Goat?
sexing goats is a process with many clues adding up to virtual certainty. Their coat vs the time of year is handy in early hunts. Watching them pee, is a really good one. The size and makeup or lack thereof of their social group. Are they dirty from wallowing? I would take any of these over...- squirrel

Relax, Everything is Going to be Okay!
It would be interesting, for this particular thread, to know how many here have been (cumulatively) 1. fired 2. layed off 3. quit or added another job because of actual physical hunger that is unable to be met by current pay stubs. 3. a. stopped for fresh roadkill deer to eat counts 1/2...- squirrel

#Winning = more public land poop
So you people in "normalsville" can just cut out a trail without being hauled off to Gitmo? I have personally been pulled in for "questioning" on the suspicion that perhaps I cleared a trail on USFS. "There were 4-6 stumps of LIVE trees cut (damaged) ILLEGALLY with O.D in the range of 1-1/2"...- squirrel

#Winning = more public land poop
Why would anyone? All I would ask is that they quit arresting those who are clearing the trails. 3 years ago I was hiking with a Husqvarna carefully camouflaged in a pannier and ran into a prim and properly coifed Rangerette stinking of perfume a couple miles up the trail. Fielding the usual...- squirrel

Montana, talk to me about your mountain whitetail.
A food source study would be pretty interesting on these deer, given their limited mobility/range. No alfalfa, certainly no corn or beans/milo. No feed bunks to poach any of the above from cattle, cows here get nothing but grass hay and water. Years ago I had a small herd of WT come in daily... -
Montana, talk to me about your mountain whitetail.
Obviously the deer aren't different so the habitat would be the most likely reason. Elevation and vegetation combination. I would think on a nice balmy -30 windy day snuggling up to an Engleman spruce would be an obvious choice, except they dont. They bed under a cottonwood or a juniper 100... -

Montana, talk to me about your mountain whitetail.
First your assumption of knowledge of CO WT is wrong, on all points except that the CPW is trying to kill them all, as they are trying to turn every hoofed critter into a positive bank balance. Unfortunately with great success using urban nimrod alchemists turning venison into gold. (But they... -
Tariffs and Potential Inflation
I have to humbly agree... although you guys are now distilling whiskey on-line this started about inflation. Too many dollars chasing too few products. I increased product and decreased the money supply in one fell swoop. I did my small part. Now carry on about how drunkenness is better if...- squirrel

Sausage season
Found a place this year with $.69 pork fat, extremely high quality. Same price for beef fat, got 3-10# packs of beef but one was older and not as good. The other two were also super quality. Ive found out the hard way that cutting corners on your fat compromises the end result and its freezer...- squirrel
