Batteries also have a number of recharge cycle curve, the more they are recharged the lower the full voltage drops off. You didn't say how old the set of batteries are and how often they were charged, once a week, daily, etc.
Just replaced Christine's wheelchair batteries in April ( 6+ years of use), replaced the 15 amp-hr sealed lead with 20 amp-hr lithium and a new lithium rated charger from Amazon ( $90 for 2 batteries + $45 for the charger). Went from daily charging to needing a charge once every two weeks running around the house. Spent 3 days running around at the WTA Rondy earlier this month on a single charge.
If you go with lithium, you will need a new compatible charger.
LOL If you can haul skids, you can get skid boxes of things like melons at under 50 cents, cabbage and other things that are in large containers in big numbers. Seen melons go for 10 cents each, but there were about 100 in the crate. Same with sweet corn 5 dozen to a bag, but you need to buy 8 Bags or more at a time. @ 4-8 $ a bag, sometimes as low as 3- 5 a bag. Great if you have a stand to sell at. Canned 8 bags one year, still have quarts and pints of sweet corn from then. Same with green beans.
Agreed. IDK who first said it but an ol hand by the name of Tom Dorrance said it so i could hear it. Few besides maybe Sharon, NV Wrangler, and maybe MGM or Yes Sir gonna know who that is but the man was ate up with wisdom.
IDK if you are familiar with Dale Brisby Angela but as well as being funny he has an outstanding podcast if rodeo and bull ridin interests you at all.
If you don't know his story you might confuse him with an "influencer" but the guy used to fight bulls for a cat named Sammy Andrews who is king of the old school bull men and has hauled big time buckers his entire career. This means that only a select few ever gonna make it providing protection at his pro shows.
Brisby also told Weston Rutowski (who will go down in history as one of the greats) that his bull ridin was only gonna take him so far but as a bull fighter he had some world class potential.
That interview also benifits from the fact that JB and DB are best friends.
Trap name recognition, advertising and promoting your product. Every trap has a name. The coon trap that I invented, the name it was given is what it does.
Trap brand recognition is important. Imagine going into a trapping supply business and asking for a "coon trap", you will be instantly be asked, "Which brand and model are you looking for?" "I have longsprings, coilsprings, body grip traps in different sizes to catch a raccoon." "Probably 60 - 70 coon traps to choose from." A new trapper would get overwhelmed very quickly. Trap branding works both ways. Trappers gravitate to brands that perform, gravitate away from brands that under perform
In order for my coon trap to succeed in the "ocean" of coon trap makes and models, it had to have a very unique name. The name had to be instantly recognized for advertising, promoting and such.
Lil' Grizz Get'rz is the "shortened" version of the Little Grizz Getters.
The "Little Grizz" comes from history that raccoons and bears are distant cousins. Native folklore would often describe the raccoon as a "small bear" hence "Little Grizz." The raccoon was also referred as a "wash bear" in native culture also.
"Get'rz" pronounced as "Getters", is what the trap does.....gets the coon caught.
Dog Proof or "DP", describes the trap style as a "encapsulated" foothold trap primarily used to trap raccoons while being "dog resistant."
The Lil' Grizz Get'rz DP trap is the only brand of dog proof with multiple names that are a derivative version of the brand name itself. Such as: Lil' Grizz, Grizz Getters, The Grizz, Little Grizz, Grizz's, Little Grizz Getters, Little Grizzlys, Grizz Traps.....and the most respected name given to it, The Grizz Trap.
We are talking deer here, but i highly doubt an elk is much different. Anatomy dont change a huge bunch on ungulats. A 300 win mag would deffinatly cause a sucking chest wound if it were in the chest cavity. Sorry you shot high.
So you're telling me I can't recognize a wound above or below the spine? How do you explain a rib shot through right at the attachment to the spine? I'm not talking conjecture, as I butchered the animal and saw right where the damage was.

I imagine it was about 10 minutes between shots. Could he have survived? I can only surmise but it looked survivable. The top of the lungs definitely had a dark color to them like bruised but I never saw a puncture. And just for a little info on herd bulls: it is very common for them to leave the herd when chased even if they have not been shot at. He was for sure hurting though.
The two fellers in front appear to be way happier about the 'grips' than the feller in the back. That one in the back has the look of a giver, which he has always been known to be...
...He's a giver, he'll give'm.... the kind of attention that..... they've never known....
