Half price of a custom rig, SAKO pedigree, decent weight - how can you go wrong? I think I might have to buy one just because. Been itching for a 6.5 PRC and have some draw point that I could cash in....
Think they take trade-ins? My .300WSM 85 Finnlight is gonna collect a lot of dust
Nebraska property taxes can be brutal. Asking prices for good pasture land is pretty high, even higher for “hunting” properties that Generally have piss poor grass. That said pasture rentals rates are highest in Nebraska, insanely high. But unless you have a big parcel and good facilities...
Lol. My father in law is basically hopeless mechanically. He’s kinda handy with carpentry tasks and masonry but horrible at electrical, plumbing, engines, equipment, etc. I’m not sure what the cognitive disconnect is due to but it’s almost comical.
One of my favorite singers has a song about...
Who has that kind of time anymore? “The Color of Money” is 35 yrs old
College kids aren’t drinking like they used to, no one likes smoke, and most pool halls are shitholes.
Also lots more fitness type activities available now. Crossfit, Juijitsu/MMA gyms, cycling, running, etc.
Too many variables for meaningful response but in my experience 15x binos are heavy and not enough power to really study an animal at distance. They are great in scenarios where you literally sit and glass for hours or days at a time - sheep, coues deer, goats, etc - where eye strain is a known...
You’re gonna have fun getting started on that project but 6010 5P+ will make it much easier to learn. You can weld the devils butt crack shut with that rod!

The only thing I can’t afford is not getting the work done! In my operation, a breakdown in front of a storm can lead to big losses due to hay being ruined by rain. We have had SCR failures on new Case tractors that snowballed into huge repair and rental bills. I specifically look for...
The environment simply can not sustain the numbers of animals. Not enough forage, not enough water, so they push out and deprive native species that evolved to survive in that ecosystem.
Same with North American feral horses - they are destroying the brittle desert environment. Other native...
It hasn’t been -40 but it’s not rare. You can’t fight the cold, it always wins. Shit just breaks if you try to work. Hydraulic hoses crack, if you can keep machines from gelling up. We basically keep all necessary equipment running, shop heat at full blast and drive around thawing stock tanks...
Pepperoni sticks. Buy some equipment now and then you’re on your way to doing it all yourself.
You don’t need much room to process a deer at home. Debone in the field, rinse and pack in coolers, wet age at home in fridge, prepare for storage, freeze. All can be done in small kitchen or...
