    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    Here's my wood pile so far. It's 3 rows deep and 5' high. I have 7 full cord so far. My stack of logs in the woods is 8' wide by 8' high and about as long as this wood pile (maybe longer)

    Maggie’s The Woodchuck and Firewood Hoarders Thread

    My neighbor had 60 acres clear cut behind my property. I let the loggers use my field for entry and wood stacking. I told them in return i wanted them to bring logs to the road, in the woods, that they couldn't use. I am now working on a stack 8 ft high, 8 ft wide, and 60ish? ft long. I've cut...

    Range Report Cold bore 500 yards daily

    I like to return them to zero to: A. get used to adjusting them properly everytime, and B. to continually work them for durability. Once the corn gets out this fall I'll be adding an elevated platform. This will allow me to shoot out to 800 on the same target. Although i"LL have to widen my...

    Range Report Cold bore 500 yards daily

    I put up a target at 500 yards this summer 8"x10" and I had the thought about doing one shot a day to just to practice my cold bore. Ideally, I like to practice cold bore for hunting, but i figure why not do it for daily practice as well. Im thinking about keeping a log and going from there...

    Hunting & Fishing Cold gear for long hunting sits. Sitka worth the money?

    I don't wear one brand of anything but I've hunted -30 before and lived, lol. If you are sitting in terribly cold weather like this it's tough to stay warm. Toe warmers are a godsend. Hand warmers too. As for clothes, I wear 2000 gram pack boots, synthetic base sock, maybe a medium weight sock...

    Any Bushnell Elite LMSS spotter reviews? What about Leupold SX5?

    I've used the sx-2 in all types of weather and was underwhelmed by its performance per price. It does have plusses. Its light-ish, and leupold had no problem getting me new lens caps after i lost mine... So theres that.

    Any Bushnell Elite LMSS spotter reviews? What about Leupold SX5?

    I have a Leupold kenai sx-? The adjustable mag eyepiece is terrible. The tripod in the kit is junk. The WA eyepiece is decent, but for reference my pst 6-24 is clearer, better image, (apples to tomato comparison) when looking at targets out past 700.

    Rifle Scopes DMR II Pro 3.5-21x50mm

    I didn't buy my aad caps because of the $ multiplicative difference. I bought them because the hassle of having them break when using them is worth more that the $ difference. I hate bc caps because they break when you need them. There is a value in having something work when it's needed most...

    Kestrel won't fix 4000nv

    I believe it, thats their marketing profile. Its how they get you to keep buying the same thing over and over, but in a newer version. Suffice to say I don't want to buy one.

    Wet Tumbler Recommendations

    If you are a little bit handy you could build one for pretty cheap. I keep thinking about making one... but.... I dont see the needs to spend all that money for shiny brass. Hell, half the time i just reload without cleaning.. Everything depends on your needs.
