    Introducing a puppy into the family with an older dog

    We got our (now) oldest dog when my last dog was 16. Brought home a 12 week old pup, & they eventually became friends. I'm absolutely convinced the old dog trying to keep up with the new pup helped extend her life (we lost her last year when she was 19 years old). That "new pup" is now 4, & we...

    GPS Collar/Containment system for dogs

    We use the SportDog underground fence. Had it for 4 years, successfully using it on dog #3. Upgraded to a 14ga wire after fixing breaks caused by frostheaves 2 years in a row. Yellow dog has the original "fence only" collar, with a different e-collar we use in the field. New black dog has a...

    Late onset agriculture

    My best advice is to diversify...find things that will sell/attract folks over different buying seasons. An area close to both a metro & wilderness attractions would allow you to cater to the biggest groups of consumers. Certified weed-free hay is (was?) required for horse camping in national...

    Aram Von Benedikt

    Found it, read it, disgusted by it. No way in he]] I'd let that man mentor any hunter. Seriously wonder how many animals he & his have wounded & not written about...

    But WHERE did you see that number & WHO said it? Just ABV? Because, frankly, I don't trust a word he says...

    Aram Von Benedikt

    Aside from AVB claiming she was shooting ftom 630 yards, is there any mention by anyone else (including Rachelle & crew) regarding how far her shot was? Her statement posted early on in this thread said Easton ranged AVB's shot to be ~1000 yds when they got to where the deer had been shot. Just...

    Aram Von Benedikt

    She said something about Rachelle's "female emotions" or some stupid crap like that. She's the kind of female that enjoys tearing other women down instrad of boosting them up...to be totally cliche about it. Totally turned me off from anything either one was saying. Add to that the dude jumping...

    Building a Shop

    40x60, loft, sink/toilet, plenty of electrical outlets (110 & 220), big door, walk thru door(s), reinforced shelving, workbench (or two)...being able to keep all your finishing & framing supplies organized takes space. Make sure it's wide enough to pull in your trailer & load all your stuff...

    Snakebit dog - vaccine PSA

    Read it. Only 17 (14?, can't recall the exact number, but it was less than 20) were vaccinated, and they were of various ages, weights, & co-morbidities. As a longtime scientific journal editor (I get to decide if papers fly (get published) or die), the "statistics" that "support" their claim of...

    IOWA - Water pollution & Livestock

    Organic production systems can be real bad when not thought out: https://www.farmforum.net/story/news/agriculture/2021/05/16/53-square-mile-gunsmoke-farms-northwest-pierre-focus-attention/5074840001/ I dodged the bullet when they first started this farm. I worked for SDSU & was urged by my...

    2023 Cold Bore Challenge

    Cold bore MER on an average day, with MY rifle (Savage 300 WinMag), is around 450-475 yds. Due to some health issues, I need to shoot something with less "kick" (aka. NOT my rifle 🤨). Tikka 6.5 Creed (see Fatcamp's post) 595 yds No wind Prone Hand loads (again, see FC's post) I think I missed...

    Which fertilizers contain uranium? That's a new one to me.

    Crazy hunting stories

    Thanks! The scariest, most ironic, part of this story is the fact that between the two of us, my husband and I have 80 years of wandering & not getting lost between us. I grew up as a wild child in rural America (allowed to wander at will), & he grew up a wild child in urban America, & both...

    Who hunts alone?

    Due to scheduling conflicts, I got to hunt my fall rifle antelope tag alone (with my dog). Was in a fairly familiar area, but still in the middle of nowhere. I filled my tag, harvested, & packed out on my own (with dog).
