    Shooting house tips, tricks and other ideas

    Eaves, to keep rain and snow off the walls, are probably better, and quicker to build. Though eaves give it a look.

    Lake effect snow

    You do know, it is not 8' on the ground, even though 100" of snow has fallen?

    Lake effect snow

    18" of powder on the ground by me. Pushing 100" of snowfall. Glad I got a wide track, long track. Though we had a foot for deer season, came before Halloween. But rained day after Thanksgiving. But came back

    What's your biggest mistake/regret with land management?

    At my house and camp, not planting trees. Years pass fast.

    Shooting house tips, tricks and other ideas

    I think a small pitch is good even down there, just to keep water from pooling. I don't need to go around telling people I am an engineer. For this I'll take a carperntars experience over a PHD. Also take what I have seen with my eyes. I suspect 6 feet may be fine, but have no proof. My...

    I haven't done the math. But a carpenter told me its funny how people treat short spans. I don't know how long is to long. But it makes sense. I got flat blinds in an area that has got 350" of snow. About 4 foot span. They also used sturdy rafters. But it is harder to break a shorter...

    .243 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor?

    Some long range hunters have gone to lighter kicking calibers, cause it makes them better shots. How many people are shooting those ranges, and could they get better with a recoil pad, heavy jacket, or practice?

    .243 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor?

    I have read the shoulder extends brass life. Where we may get fuzzy, is on hunting rounds vs practice. Obviously I don't shoot hundreds of rounds hunting. But I like to practice, Maybe you are a better shot than me, and handful a year is good enough for you. Lots of guys only shoot 1 or 2...

    Advice for a "casual" hunter?

    So how did he do? I'd add depending on part of the country, warm clothes. Preferably quite, wool or fleece. Wash or air them out on for a few days. As said putting time in. Around first two days of gun can be best, and then again later as pressure drops and people quit hunting. Some areas...

    .243 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor?

    Again depednds how much you practice. I like to shoot 1-200 before the season. If I had a concern that a caliber would be hard to get I would buy 500-1000. Don't see it as much in rifle, but starline offers good deals on 500 or 1000 handgun orders.

    .243 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor?

    Yes. I reload. But a 100 cases is not a life time supply. I would get 500-1000 piceces of brass.

    I hate Snow

    Started off good, foot of snow for gun season. But then it melted, and have to start over. I hate cold without snow. Hate summer,even up here.

    .243 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor?

    100 cases, you need to practice more, if that is lifetime supply. I would not feel comfortable if I were to buy an odd caliber. I believe Creedmoor may be easier on shoulders and stretching. But even so I am a brass hoarder.

    .243 Win or 6.5 Creedmoor?

    Lyman 47th has a table for bullet and what animal weight, to what range. 243 was as good or hair better than 30-30. 30-30 is slow. Though 243 in 100 grain is so slow , I don't know why an adult male would not use 30-06. Back to 45-70, I only shot one. But 350 grain interlok dropped him...

    My bear blind is sorta like a ladder stand, about 3x3. Got the idea from shadow elevators. But has not seen over 300". I am not purring my stamp on this, just what I have observed. Is a 6 foot to big? Dunno. But gable style is 3 feet span only. Mine are simple she'd style roofs wit...

    Ground blind hunting and the wind

    Not going to shoot a deer on the couch. I understand the idea of compromising a blind. But not hunting for a month? Has it gotten cold?

    Shooting house tips, tricks and other ideas

    I ended up tieing skis together with 2 10' 2x4s in a X. This one is in backyard. Built in barn and dragged out. One thing different that I like, is the soffits. The rear one is a good place for storage. One thing I did, that made it adjustable in field is run 2x4s between corners above...

    Also while giving my opinion. More over hang on roofs the better, to keep rain off wood and windows. What is correct, don't know. But you don't see a house with a few inches.

    This is the first one I built. Around 4/12. I got blinds from 90s, that are nearly flat. Short spans, not as critical/
