When there is no place left with clean water you,your children and grandchildren can drink out of the mine arsenic slime dams.
Is safe clean drinking water becoming an increasing problem? I know some dryer regions suffer because of overall availability but im not sure polluted water is really much of an issue here in the USA. Has mining ruined the drinking water in your area?
I can almost always get my rifles to shoot better with handloads and the bullet/powder combinations to try are endless. I've seen huge variances in powder charges in the same box with mass produced junk factory ammo. Remington and Winchester being the worst. Some factory loads shoot pretty well but they're always changing something with them. Many shoot horrible and if you're happy with 4 inch groups or hitting a dinner plate at 100yds then more power to you.
They look good !!! The deer are looking forward to you putting those fresh young green plants into the ground. We had that happen one time thou it turned out to be a groundhog stuffing himself. Had trouble with crows a few times pulling baby sweet corn out and eating the seeds. Good luck.
Always a battle but have had great success over the years. As long as they leave me some I'm happy.
Never was 1 for much scouting maybe drive around in the evening to try and roost some off of the roads.i know guys that would go out and pattern them to find out where they were headed every morning.learned alot chasing them for over 40 years.
