Deadhead / Euro method test
I had a fair head from last season that I did not get to. Hair still on. I put it into my boil pot and simmered it for 2 days. I added a 1/2 cup of 20 muleteem borax and a few drops af dawn. Everything came off and out with a spray from my garden hose. I did not bother to bleach it.- D4570

SD paddlefish
I don't know about SAD but in MT it all comes down to water flow. I think it's 22,000 cubic feet of water flow to trigger them.- D4570

Anyone else tired of tight groups with sandbags galore?
Every year before I get out much, I gather up all my "Hunting clothes" and give them a good spray of horse spray and let them air out for a day or two. Do you have your own routine just for ticks? Farnam Tri-Tec 14 Fly Repellent Active ingredients: cypermethrin, pyrethrins, piperonyl butoxide... -

358 winchester
OK, here's the question. I just picked up an older 6.5 Creedmoor Savage Axis. It has a Nikko scope and sling. I got it for a fair price. I have no use for another 6.5 anything, so I'm planning to rebarrel it. I think a 25 needmore would fill a niche, but dies and barrels are not really caught... -

Fiberglass Truck Topper
I went with a "Flated" topper. It is under 80 pounds, I can take it off or put it back on by myself. It deflates, and I can put it in my cargo carrier when I want to use the truck bed. I have a Honda 4-wheeler I use a lot, and it fits in the back. When I get to where I'm camping, I unload and...- D4570

Montana House Bill 676 - Sale of "Isolated" Sections of State Trust Land
This is absolutely a very BAD thing. How will the school funding be replaced? I understand the landowner's point of view. Wouldn't it be better to trade land on the edges of the property? The school funding would be kept, and the public could still have access. You never spend your prinsabal on...- D4570

One month to spring Where's the gophers?
YUP only a month away. Almost every year around the first of the year we start to see a few gophers sticking their heads out of the snow. And, at the end of February, We can see quite a few Out on the calm sunny days, even when the snow is on the ground. Mostly in town gophers, the "country"...- D4570
