    What can I seal knife paracord wrapped handle with?

    Rope wrapped handles on gaff hooks, fishing rods, ect.... get epoxy coated. Not so much coating, as the epoxy absorbs into the material. You wipe almost all of the excess off so the wrapped handle looks and feels much like there is no epoxy at all. I don't think I'd recommend 550 cord for this...

    A bill to set aside 2550 tags for wealthy nonresident landowners is being proposed in Montana

    The bill says the landowners can hunt lands they lease for certain reasons, not just lands they own. I’m curious what the results of the study of how many non-resident land owners own 2500+ acre qualifying properties were. Sounds like 2500 and 15% may just be arbitrary numbers. Maybe used...

    Washington Blacktail question

    Didnt Weyerhaeuser sell off their Montana lands to Pine ridge or something like that? Maybe they didn’t sell everything.

    Washington Blacktail question

    Generally speaking you would look at the recreation section of the land owning logging companies website. Manulife bough Hancock, so that ones a bit messy to look at. This might have what you seek: https://recreation.weyerhaeuser.com/Home/Programs

    The Topic is knives.

    In the past they have shipped DHL and the toys arrive pretty quickly. I suspect you’ll be pleased.

    A bill to set aside 2550 tags for wealthy nonresident landowners is being proposed in Montana

    Call me a pessimist but I don’t see any of the proposed benefits coming to fruition. In states that hand out land owner tags, do the hunting land owners push the game off their properties or work harder to attract and keep game on their properties? In states that give LOP tags, how many allow...

    Talk me out of a benelli m2 12g!

    Owned Benelli’s for many years and never had an issue with the bolt or anything else. Just normal care seems to work. My new as of last year gun is a Beretta A400 extreme. It has a similar rotating bolt head and works just fine as well. I bought the Beretta because I shot a round of trap with a...

    The Topic is knives.

    Bow string

    I’m the same. Shoot it a bit to settle the string(s) in. Then replace it and keep the originals as spares.

    Hunting or fishing themed Tattoo

    I got a tattoo one day down in San Diego right after boot camp. It’s just one I picked off the wall and had the artist modify a bit. I don’t have any regrets. I’d like another outdoor themed one, but have never settled on a design. I think as long as you don’t get something corny, some fad...

    20” 6.5 PRC w/ No Brake

    I feel it’s dependent on powder used and volume of powder. The 20” barrels I’ve shot were loud, and the 18” were horrid with 308 powder volume cases (45-ish grains). 223 volume cases (25-30-ish grains) are ok at those lengths. 6.5 prc is 55-ish grains… For me that would be a no go below 22”...

    CPW screwing Residents yet again….

    Colorado is being loved to death by all user groups. So is pretty well everywhere else. I’m pretty sure the states have you get a license due to Pitman Robertson type funds being doled out partly based on numbers of licensed hunters. It’s the farce that hoses all the licensed hunters survey...

    SpaceX Starlink Rate Increase….

    I don’t know about Joe, but the local company is planning to run fiber up my road due to government subsidy program. Dead end road with only a handful of houses. No internet in the past cause it’s not cost effective for the providers to run the wires. Prior program ran fiber in nearby rural area...

    To brake or not to brake... that is the question.

    I use the Impact Sport muffs with the Sight lines gel gaskets with the slot for safety glasses. They are comfortable and seem to work well. If I’m at the range or around brakes, ect.. I put in Walkers foamy’s as well. But I wear the muffs for mowing, weed eating, driving the tractor, chain...

    Wiping blood on the face of a new hunter

    So I logged in and on the home page is a picture of a young girl with blood purposely wiped on her face. I'm aware of folks who talk of this type stuff. Some sort of ritual for new hunters or fisherman. I have a goofy friend who tries stuff like that, trying to have the new tuna fisherman take...

    To brake or not to brake... that is the question.

    We’re you able to find on that website anywhere they list the DB level of hearing protection provided by those earbuds? Seemed odd to me all the Dr. of audiology this and Dr. that and I could find no industry accredited protection rating for the products anywhere. Maybe I just gave up too easily.

    Stock painting? Aluma Hyde and stencils?

    My first suggestion is to have the paint cans and ambient up near 80 degrees. Aluma-Hyde doesn’t spray well and clogged tips if it’s not warm. (When I read the reviews complaining of clogs I imagine the reason was temp) I’ve not waited more than a few hours between coats or colors. I haven’t...
