    Kent Upland Bismuth Nontox 12 ammo

    I have some Kent Upland Bismuth #5s that I want to unload. 1.25 oz, 2.75" shells, 1350 fps. I transferred them to plastic boxes that I will be keeping. I do not have the original boxes, so they will come in some other flavor of box. There is a total of 49 rounds that need a new home...

    Tuesday Tunage, 'cuz it can't wait 'til Friday

    This just floated by my screen. It is impossible. It can't be. But there it is. Marvel and enjoy. I'm driving to California in few hours, so this has to play too.

    FS: Bear Medicine - $1150

    ___________________________________ I am looking to sell my bear medicine, aka Smith and Wesson 629 (44 Mag) Mountain Pistol. This is the slimmer, lighter, and sexier sister to the regular Model 29 and 629 pistols. It is stainless, with a 4" barrel. The condition is very good to excellent. I...

    I need tires, what's the recommendation?

    Tire opinions are wide and wild on the internet, but I would like to hear what others have to say. I currently have my second set of BFGoodrich All Terrain, TA/KO2s. I like them just find and have had them on other trucks as well. But damn, they are expensive these days. Much cheaper (close to...

    First ever!

    I went crappie fishing today. Again. I've been out about 5 times this year. So far not a single crappie has been seen. Not even one floating dead along the shoreline. In fact, I had not landed a fish until today. Turned out to be my first musky ever. On a crappie jig - which he made into...

    .30-40 nontox

    I have a 98 Krag .30-40 for which I may want to make non-tox loads. Is anyone aware of such load recipes? And if not, what sort of non-toxic bullets are likely to work? The gun is made to shoot 220 gr lead bullets that are ridiculously long, so long copper bullets would probably be best, but...

    The last hurrah

    It may be 2022, but this is officially the close of the 2021 season for me and Gus. Following anti-hotspotting rules, I can only say I was somewhere in The Middle; North of Mexico and South of Canada in a state that still had a bird hunting season until the most recent sunset. Anyway, it was...

    Just one more

    So, @VikingsGuy has gotten everyone to think about how miserable they would be if they had to give up all but one gun, albeit, in each of several categories. But more realistically and enjoyably, what are you looking to add to your arsenal (bows, etc. included), for the coming fall? And...

    Puffy? Synthetic, warm, not crazy expensive?

    My old Pima Loft Patagonia puffy died this morning. It had many holes and tears, but now the main zipper is shot and it's not worth fixing. I'm in need of a nonmegabucks puffy that is similarly light in actual weight while very warm, quiet, perhaps not completely wind or waterproof (I can...

    Mapping Minnesota Fires in the last 30 +/- yrs

    I'm looking for forest fire maps for Minnesota for the last 30 years or so. I asked this question in the On-X thread, but perhaps some of you know of other formats (including print or some other format). Any luck out there? Thanks.

    e-scouting for ruffed grouse in the northernmost part of the Midwest

    I'm wondering if anyone has any particular suggestions they would like to share for finding grouse in the Northern Midwest via e-scouting on On-X What can you see that is useful? I used to hunt them more than 40 yrs ago, but I didn't have aerial views to give me an idea of what the places that...

    Wyoming antelope doe scenario

    Here is a last minute, what if, question. What if I put into an area that I do not draw as first choice and with that buck tag application, I add two reduced price doe tags. In the application, I can choose to have the does dropped if I do not draw. If I do NOT choose this option, could they...

    Duck Scouting

    Today, it warmed up to 21F. It was sunny, and the wind so light, I could out run it on snowshoes. So Gus and I went duck scouting. No picts of Gus on a stump today. But we do have Gus on a Muskrat Lodge. You probably can't see the ducks, but Gus and I could. A dozen mallards, wheeling...

    Hunting season is almost here

    Okay, I sorta lied, but I was out hiking around and the number of turkey tracks and gobblers that I saw was astounding. It won't be that long before these guys are back in play.

    National Day for the National Dog, one day late.

    Yesterday was a sort of surreal day. It was the first day of my retirement and my wife put me to work all day. I'm still exhausted. But in the aftermath of that, I learned that yesterday was National Golden Retriever day. I have had goldens almost all of my life, but this is the first I heard...

    Poling a boat in a duck marsh

    I'm thinking about next season already. I will have the time to significantly up my game, which would entail using my boat - something I have avoided to this point. To that end, I am looking for a suitable pole for moving a small aluminum boat across shallow, soft, cattail marshes with...

    After the boom comes the bust. Gus but no stump (or bird)

    From boom to bust. Yesterday, multiple hundreds of birds. Today, nothing. We did have to deal with a pair of trespassers, which probably had a little to do with that. But it was a good day anyway. We both finished with strong legs. That's not a small thing. No stump to pose on either. Gus got...

    Have you ever lost a bird - in your truck?

    Another day, another pic on a stump - well a log, but that's what we had in a farmer's machine lot. This was one of the most impressive days of pheasant hunting I have ever seen. We may have seen close to 1000 flushes. Of course, nearly all of them were 100s of yards away. But they were...

    Continuing the Gus on a Stump Series.

    It was a sunny day, we had a bird, and lo and behold, there's a big cottonwood stump. So continuing the Gus on a stump theme, I tried for another picture. Gus was hardly tired enough to put up with this, and he made that pretty clear... Eventually, I got a slightly better shot, but it wasn't...

    The New Year opens well

    This was a good afternoon. Started slow, but then we hit the mother lode and from then on, birds were pretty darn abundant, albeit a decidedly female biased population. Nonetheless, we came home with our limit. This pic is the newest in a growing collection of Gus's Hero shots on stumps...
