That pretty sweet. I bet it shoots flat and groups em tight

I've had one of the old Remington 700 inline rifles since the mid 90's.

6-8 years ago I installed one of the Badger Ridge 209 conversions and now I run Blackhorn 209 in it
Wow, you talk about brining a rifle to life, that did it in every way
I haven't even tried any of the new muzzleloader bullets available, still shoot the sabot's behind a 240gr Hornady xtp. It's never let me down. Deer are usually DRT.

Make sure you set legal on the fences, especially since it is BLM land.

Good luck, hoping for some nice bobcats pics soon !!
You're making me jealous, haven't started our line yet and I'm betting we get snow right before we start.


I have two lures on the rocks along side and a little pile of bait up under the rocks, would you add any other kind of attractant front and behind?

I got pulled over for following to close to a funeral procession, then got a ticket for not stopping for police with there lights on. Last thing she said as she handed me a ticket for $383.00 was if you don't agree you can go to court, and I said I'll see you there. I showed up she did not, I believe I would have won but the judge threw it out. This lawyer stuff is easy.

I don't have a problem with police for the most part, but I'm still disgruntled over the jerk that pulled me over 3 times in 2 weeks for having a ball on the bumper of my pickup. smile

I have one in stainless. Used it several years then had it cut down for NY daughter when she was about 6. It's snow to small to comfortably shoot.

Wanted to get a bad bull made in KY but not willing to pay the price they want. Smokeless is the way to go.

Withe the savage velocity was limited because the sabot needed to hold up but got to around 2300fps with 250gr xtp. Same bullet I used for years out of other black powder guns but the deer went from running 70 yards to dropping in their tracks with the increased velocity.

The bad bull don't require sabots. Not sure if this one does but its about the same speed. Could be improvement in plastics over the years if so.

Yep, I am going to shovel off then chip out and check my otter bottom edge sets this afternoon. The cold this weekend should get them moving.

I like those Kirkland nuts too.

Fleet Farm has good mixed nuts also. You can get them in the bag or a coffee can type tub with lid. Sometimes I get the bagged ones to refill the tub. They come with or without peanuts. I always get the ones without peanuts.

Tip: If you’re drinking beer with a gang, put a scoop in the tub before someone grabs a mitt full with his “shaking” hand.

We do lots of soups and chilis.
Favorites are
homemade chili
split pea with ham
white chicken chili
Hot pepper soup
I also buy those bear soup mixes and then add a couple extra cups of water, 2 cups of broth, meat and several packages of our veggies.
Feels like a good soup winter already

He was about to run my plates when I told him I had a carry permit. He immediately handed back the license and registration and told me to get some rest.

It takes 45-minutes to run a carry permit thru the National database and cops here don’t want to waste that time. Next time you get pulled over, give him your carry permit and tell him to run it. Tell him he can call you at home when he finds out you’re a law abiding citizen.


Here permits don't take long to run. I used to hand mine over with my license but after the cops saw it they got nervous and posture changed. Like I would warn them I had a gun if I were going to be a threat to them. After a couple times of that I quit giving the permit.

In the last few years the law has changed and no permit is required to conceal carry. But they still like to ask any guns in the car. My response typically depends on my mood. May be why are guns illegal or absolutely several with enthusiasm that shocks them. Then they repeat the question so you have guns in the car and I reply Its Southern Indiana doesn't everyone and if they don't they should.

Most of them are not bad guys just poorly trained and have a touch of authority complex. You could not pay me enough to do their job and they sure don't get paid much.

I once paid a mechanic that didn’t fix the problem they all just want the money so I talked to a lawyer and he wanted even more than the mechanic did! LOL

I was hurt, broke mislead with no justice but I got out of bed the next morning anyway.

I have a question about the 1oz. of Asafoetida?
Did you add this to also repel or discourage Felines from working the Lure? Sorry, this question has been nagging on me for awhile. Possibly you added the Asafoetida to attract the foxes? lol. I may have just answered my question? Thanks.

Just curious if anyone has sold any fur yet. Particularly Beaver or mink. I haven't seen any posts of anyone selling.
Hope I don't get a lot of laughing emoji's.

Its been extremely slow going, but with being in a new management position at work I enjoy the quiet alone time on the line now more than ever. Set my second attempt at a cat walk through today, feels better than the first one. Two Bridger 3's Y'd together on a drag between two large rocks on a flat desert of sage brush, both rocks are packed full of packrat nests. Seems like a good spot from the studying ive been doing.

Also found a mile of woven wire fence out on BLM with lots of crawl unders, getting some snares ordered and will try my hand and snaring that fence and these highway looking cow trails out across the desert.
