    Getting paid ! Construction industry.

    Public works projects in my area require a performance and payment bond from the general contractor to ensure the project gets completed and the subcontractors get paid. Should the GC fail to perform or goes bankrupt, the surety company will be liable to get the project completed and pay the...

    Getting paid ! Construction industry.

    Understandable. I have released payment early when subcontractors have requested it. I work with several small companies - 2-4 employees and I understand that they have less operating budget than the company I work for. When they are up front about it, we can give them a draw or early payment -...

    Getting paid ! Construction industry.

    I work with a GC and usually our pay terms with subcontractors are pay when paid. We do a lot of public work and our billings to the municipalities have to go through council for approval and typically take 30-45 days to be paid. When we are paid, our subs get paid the next Friday. We can pay...

    Agencies announce decision to restore grizzly bears to North Cascades. I guess this makes it official

    Bring it on, let's send them to California and everywhere else they were during that magical time period in the late 1800's. Let's bring back dodo birds and passenger pigeons too if we're so set on returning animals to a landscape that hasn't seen these animals in decades or longer.

    Mercy Kills - Legality?

    A few years ago we saw a mule deer buck stuck next to a hiway fence hunched up and in obviously bad shape. It had been hit by a car and couldn't make it over the fence. He stood there all day and let one of my coworkers approach within a few feet to where he was able to prod it with a stick...

    Boyt H52SG hard case and pressure on optic

    1/4" of compressed foam on either side of the optic? Your case will flex more than that of dropped or stepped on. I'd say it's too tight.

    Washington Archery Elk hunters …

    Slow action at the south end of the cascades on the wet side. Hot and dry. I did chase around a bull with cows but couldn't get him to stop and run me off. Never winded me and never took off, they just kept ahead of me about 100 yards or so. With how thick the brush is, it's practically hand...

    What bow is everyone shooting?

    Using the 2017 Mathews Halon 32. It's on its third set of strings but still works for me.

    Ammo Freedom

    Granted the order is nearly 5 years old, but I was satisfied with the transaction.

    Ammo Freedom

    Whoops, wrong info. I ordered two boxes of 300 win mag ammo from them in 2018. They shipped within a few days. I'd buy from them again.

    Yeti releases $400 cast iron skillet

    With my lodge I took a palm sander to the inside using 120 then 200 grit. I also used a file to knock down the casting seam on the handle. I seasoned with avacodo oil when i was done. It is a pleasure to use.

    Bino harness pain

    I struggled with my AGC bino harness as well, it would rotate forward and put weight on the back of my neck. I swapped the straps on the AGC for a marsupial straps and it fixed the issue. The design of the marsupial straps felt better under a pack as well. I used the modified AGC for two years...

    Knife sharpener in your kill kit?

    Another one with the worksharp. It works well but the course diamond is way too aggressive for anything I need it for.

    How many arrows do you carry in your quiver Elk hunting?

    Five broadheads and one blunt/field tip for grouse and squirrels. So far only one arrow per animal.

    Idaho Weiser River Archery

    My experience in it was there are plenty of moo cows, THICK brush (like coastal oregon thick) and lots of hound hunters. We got into elk in one drainage three times, then a pack of hounds ran a bear through it and blew the elk out. Plenty of area to hunt, plenty of roads for access. There are...

    Backyard barrel / cube sauna?

    My argument is that sauna is a Finnish word. In Finnish there are no silent letters. We say tor-tee-a, not tor-tilla. There are plenty of examples of foreign words used in daily speech with the correct native pronunciation. So why can't sauna be pronounced the way the Finns say it?

    Peax Equipment?

    Completely agree. Sponsor a few high profile hunters that say some nice things and people will think the peax headlamp is the one item that they're missing that is keeping them from killing 400" bulls.
