Same here, 100 yards is an average shot on a deer, although I do sometimes reach out to 300. I've totally switched to Federal Power-Shok blue box, .243, 7mm08, and my favorite caliber for big game, my Sako in 300 WSM in 180 Grain Jacketed Soft Point, moving along at 2980 fps, and I have enough...

@MarkDarvin is going to pray for rain for my plots

I doubt if his level of happiness is anywhere close to ours, living in a normal house with no guards, or working on our food plots, or on the first day of hunting season, or hanging out with friends and just being normal people who don't have to hide everywhere we go.

Today's consumers want quality equipment that's mechanically sound, if it's reliable we're willing to pay a lot of money for it, but if it's junk we don't want it at any price, and in today's internet age of information we have a lot more options to learn what's good and what's not. In SXS's...

I like this advice, I'm going for it. Stay tuned in for further developments!

Driving out of the way to grab a 180 is worth it, they are a simple design that usually runs trouble free for many years

I don't think morning glory can stand being mowed, so that might be a control option. Gramoxone (Paraquat) is another option close to fruit trees (if you have a license to buy it), this will burn down everything but not kill the roots, generally the clover and grass will grow back faster than...

I hear you on the not much run off rain in a while. Although we had a nice little shower in PA last night, our spring seems to be continuing along the lines of our drought saga of last summer, cold and dry in March, then unseasonably warm in April with below average rain. I'm old enough to...

I like the Stihl MS180, a lot of saw for the money, weighs in at a reasonable 8.6 lbs, and while it being a light use model, it will stihl probably outlast you and me :) and you can buy two of these for the price of one Echo 2511T. The Echo 2511T does weigh in at a favorable 5.4 lbs, but this...

Maybe Budlight would work as a weedkiller? As soon as Canada becomes our 51st state you will be able to get herbicide in gallons and ounces :)

Liberty and Enterprise are great names for a no spray orchard. I bought some apple trees from a commercial orchard only to discover that they needed sprayed every month, and supported or they'd fall over. I wish I had never seen these commercial apple trees. I found that what Patrick Henry said...

Yes, spot on, additives are important. I wanted to add more info but got pulled into a meeting as I was typing. Crop oil is a percent of the amount of water in the tank, but it should be a certain percent per acre. The purpose of crop oil is to help the active chemical stick to the weeds, and...

Yes, ARROW ALL IN is clethodim with metric label, same rates

I'm still kicking myself for having too many other commitments going on called "life", so I did not get small grain drilling done this March like I usually do, but I still might put out some spring oats. We have had a two year drought that has cost us several clover plots, and I'm scratching my...
