Went down to Nacogdoches a couple months back to help a buddy with his pig problem. I shot two crankers the first night- 272 lbs and 223 lbs. I shot another small boar the 2nd night that weighed 138 lbs. First time using the Ruger SFAR .308 suppressed with a SilencerCo Omega can (which is not the gun I'm holding in the pics). I'm running a day/night vision scope and using a thermal scanner that connects via USB to my phone. Budget setup, but happy with it for my needs. The thermal image is better than what you see in the video. The file size was compressed to upload.
Some live action shots
272 lb via phone camera
272lb through scope
223 lbs via night vision scope. You can see the 272 lb I had just shot
Need something for the wife to use while I'm gone , she just can't figure out my lil MS170 and she's a kinda scared of it lol. So any suggestions for a small chain saw that's good for just cutting up smaller stuff limbs from storm damage and the like . Guess a gas one would be better for hurricane season but electric would work . Mainly need sto be easy to crank and not super heavy
I have a propane, a big offset and a smaller PK charcoal/wood grill. Wood imparts the best flavor of any of them. A bit of a learning curve with wood/charcoal when it comes to smoking on them. As far needing to babysit them, if its a well built good quality smoker they dont take alot of babysitting once you learn to operate them. I can smoke for 8 hrs without adding fuel or adjusting the temperature. You can get thermometers that blue tooth to your phone or unit in the house were you can set alarms for high and low temps. Like everything quality results usually take a bit more work but the flavor of meat smoked with real wood is worth it for me. If you are willing to give up a bit of quality for the easy button pellet grill are the next step down. But then you also have electronics to operate and fail. I use the propane only when we are doing large batches of heavily seasoned products like summer sausage and deer sticks when the other smokers are already full.
If you have a trough or other large water container I just put a few feeder goldfish in the tank, no wigglers!, 10 cents a piece..lasts all summer, lol
That's the good life! It's sad to see so many kids and grandkids selling off family land their grandparents and great grandparents worked their butt of for.
Even though the family sold off 2/3 of the farm dad and I were able to keep /buy 96 acres of it. It always hits me hard when.i see my kids using the same tractor on the same land as their great great grandfather.
When the auctioneer says….” Are we continuing?”, what is he referring too?
Wants to know if the buyer wants the rest of the string. If you look at the catalogue the grades encompass multiple lots withing the string. A lot of times the buyer who wins the first lot will buy the remaining lots at the same price.
I think in Oregon fruit prices at our farmers markets are considerably higher than in the midwest. All of us berry growers at the farmers market tend to charge the same prices, even the Russian farmers from out of the area that aren't organic.
Strawberries right now are $6/pint. Raspberries and blackberries $5/ half-pint. We charge $8/ pint for razz and blueberries.
I have a friend in central Wisconsin that grows razz and strawberries and she just shakes her head at those prices.
We also sell by the flat. Blueberries and raspberries are $36 half flat and $70 full 12 pint flat.
I have about five acres of blues, what we don't sell at the farmers' markets goes into the wholesale organic market for about $45-50 a flat.
To me astigmatism is the big deal in favor of prisms. I have pretty bad astigmatism and dots aren't clear for me. I see a fuzzy dot. Anything other than a large dot is pretty much useless to me, no use having horseshoes multiple dots, etc. Best I can do is center the blur and bang.
Talk to a realtor you trust. Ask him/her what they think the price might be if you ever sold thru them. You might be surprised.
We were considering selling our cabin that has shoreline. We contacted a realtor who was friends with my parents. The realty is now a 3rd generation business. Kevin came out, did his once over. He said he’d be able to sell it for almost twice what the letter writers had offered. Kevin, the grandson of my parent’s friend and realtor, is just as nice as his grandfather. He’s selling it for us now.
