    IOWA - Water pollution & Livestock

    If the pastures were large enough and not over grazed I would say yes. The areas that I was specifically referencing are/were mostly Bluff Country woodlands along the Mississippi River. The soil is shallow due to being mostly forested land sitting on top of limestone that is fractured. This is...

    IOWA - Water pollution & Livestock

    When was the last time you were up in NE Iowa? After almost any rain even of moderate amount the streams are running brown for days (Big Paint Creek, running from Waukon to the Mississippi River). After large rain events even isolated streams are brown for days (i.e. Little Paint Creek in Yellow...

    Win M70 Featherweight vs Ruger M77 MK ii accuracy

    Anyone have real world experience in accuracy between these two rifles? The Ruger is one that was after they fixed their barrel issues with synthetic stock. The Win is a later 90s with wood stock. Both in 30-06.

    What to do

    Take the check with the understanding that they can not take possession of the camper till the check clears. Have them send the money by money order. I feel really old. I am giving advice on how to make purchases without electronically transferring money. Yes, I still pay bills with checks.

    Converting to a chassis - worth it?

    Put one of the slide on risers and bed the barrel to the end of the fore end. Won't get the folding stock but may be lighter than a chassis.

    .22/.22 Mag Rifles

    Thanks for the suggestions. I haven't made any decisions yet. Just saw the new Grande thumb video with a 22 air rifle. Seems like another way to go possibly.

    Hey, tree people...

    Deer resistant if there is enough better food. Other wise they are one of the first to get hit hard. Possibly one of the shorter Blue Spruce varieties. They do not shed needles as bad os other evergreens. Would have look at the climate zone to see if they would survive.

    .22/.22 Mag Rifles

    What is everyone shooting for .22/.22 Mag rifles for squirrels and other small game? I have several, but thinking of figuring out more of a target rifle setup for hunting, and could possibly use for some of the .22 competitions (CMPs and other mail in programs, long range, possibly duathlon to...

    First borescope experience - 28 Nosler carbon ring

    Question from a semi newbie. I can see the issue with carbon build up, especially a ring at the bore, causing pressure spikes. Wouldn't you want to leave the copper to fill in the tooling marks and imperfections? Or are you getting so much copper residue that is completely filling the lands and...

    New Colorado Gun Laws

    Not that any of this makes things any better now. But, I believe NY or IL got struck down on the 21 age limit already, based on discrimination of an age group. I am guessing someone will or has filed sure against the state. Since gun industry companies can be sued for the actions of others...

    Future of Water in the Southwest vs. Retirement Plans

    It will be interesting to see where population centers shift once the Boomer generation has mostly passed on. We are already seeing a decrease in births in the US and a decrease in life span. With the last larger generations passing on that have more surplus money than other generations, I think...

    Online firearm sales

    Didn't want to hijack the Gunstore thread. Where does everyone look at online for firearms. Other than on this forum. Looking for places to compare prices to know what is or isn't a deal and also more availability.

    Where are my penny pinchers? Budget time

    something else to consider is that developmental you don't want to limit the kids intake of everything. They are growing at are at different stages of development. If mom is breast feeding she needs an increase in calories till she stops. The younger ones till 2 should only have whole fat foods...

    Logging help

    Know your market and buyers. Know what they want and how they want it cut. Know how to fell, it can be short life if you don't know what you are doing. Most guys can not make a living on just cutting one species, they will also become known for high grading and if you do a crappy job your...

    Assault Weapon Ban in Washington.

    Didn't CAs ban just get struck down?? I believe that it was ruled that it was infringing on the 2nd Amendment because the list of firearms restricted it to those that had been manufactured something like 10 years ago, the micro stamp is an impracticable factor. It is something that has not been...
