I order cheap ones on Amazon. $7 each, sharpen a few times and throw away. https://a.co/d/08RhCCFB

How'd you manage to do a bend like that? I don't see any big enough trees in your picture to do that amount of damage 😕 I've worn out a half a dozen bars and bent a few saw handles from logs rolling on the saw and still haven't bent my first bar.

Us finding something like that matched set would be the top of our shed hunting season right there

My wife doesn't hunt with a rifle, but she's got talent in finding sheds if you need expertise to pick those up :)

Federal Powershok Jacketed Soft Point in the blue box is reasonably priced, accurate, and a very balanced load. Not too hard, not too soft, it will give you the blood trails you are looking for.

Hunting for whitetailed deer is all about hunting "edge". The edge of a powerline, a farm field, a swamp, a laurel patch. And hunting a bowl or ravine is no different, hunt the edge, stay out of the middle. even if totally flat, always find some type of a crease or ripple in terrain or habitat...

Practicing with .22 rifles will improve your shooting skills with bigger rifles, not negatively affect things. Learning good practices like target acquisition, breathing control and trigger squeezing will help your general shooting skills going forward.

we'd take those numbers! It's a bit odd but for our area in PA the long range Accuweather forecast is showing unseasonably cold for the most of February. And early next week they're calling for high's in the mid 20s and lows around 10 which is colder than our average February...

When I was a boy I studied cartridges and could name them all, but I get kindof lost with all these newer cartridges. There's around 26,000 different cartridges in the world, but SAAMI lists only about 189 cartridges in active production in the US, which covers most commercial retail inventory...

We get a lot of work from trees. I rebuilt one garage three times with insurance money. The trees were on the neighbors property and there was no way to make them cut their trees, one by one they would smash the garage. I hope you have your local carpenter on speed dial. I got a call from a...

Sometimes I plant a spring mix of oats and radishes for soil improvement. These two crops take up different nutrients and bring different soil building results so it would be fair to say that they complement each other well. The radishes scavenge deep to bring minerals and nutrients to the...

That's a nice looking plot, you're obviously doing something right.

Our snow ended around 6 pm yesterday, and we have around 8" as well. I'm not going to go as far as calling it beautiful, but my wife would agree with you. I also have a driveway that I can go down but not up sometimes when the plowed surface turns to ice, so I keep a pile of stone dust at the...
