    MN Elk

    I have been a few times but not specifically in any of the elk units. It's flat country with a lot of big ag fields. Areas that aren't farmable are typically brushy wet meadows and tree cover is mostly Aspen and smaller bur oaks. Edit to add, if you're considering it, start applying now. Draw...

    Minnesota shotgun zone changes??

    Upgrading from Diamondback HDs, tell me its worth it.

    I recently made a similar upgrade (Styrka S5 to Meopta Meopro Air). As someone else said, it can be hard to tell the difference in good lighting but if you compare the two side by side, eventually you will notice why the better glass is worth the money and you won't be able to unsee it again.

    Bar and chain oil

    I used to work at a golf course and we did this because slinging cooking oil on the turf was easier on the grass than bar oil, at least in theory. It seemed to work fine but we didn't use are saws very hard either.
