How much $$ in burlap sacks of corn does it take?

That "accidentally" gets dropped in the front piece. But I'm pretty certain some seed is gonna get "accidentally" dropped in that clearcut. But it's not a food plot.

The cabinet on the left is leaking.

It was!!! Thats what I walked into

I hear corn fed elk are fine eatin. I don't know seasons on that sort of thing. I did get my new baby seal clubbing permit. The rules have changed. If there were any to begin with.

Mr. Darnyankee is paying too close attention. Does this man want to go to work with a bunch of 1D10T's? I have open positions.

Yes when I got back in the car and had to drive him back to the Barracks with a "tucked football hold" that right red eye stared at me the whole way thinking "I will rip your fucking eyes out and skull fuck you" if given the chance.

Looks to be a young bird.

He was just sitting in the high speed lane with a dead pidgeon (@Bender would you like the corpse?) laying nearby.

Usually they are stunned from flying into the side of a vehicle but this guy shows no external injury. Might have misjudged his pidgeon kill and smacked asphalt.

Whatever healthy animals usually don't let people pick them up. I split my breeches from balls to boot top making the grab, pretty typical, the 1930s uniforms look good but aren't made for athletics.

Environmental Police are coming to pick him up for a ride to the vet clinic.

Yup, looks like a young Coopers Hawk. We have a small group of them in town and they know where every bird feeder is located.

I assumed a young Red Tail because of its size.

Initially when I pulled up I was thinking it was a falcon because it was so small.

Thank you for the ornithology lesson

Coopers Hawk...

Helping someone fix a Remington 7400. Not cycling right, so starting with cleaning the gas port, orifice ball, and all that jazz. Maybe we’ll get lucky and this will fix it.

My job posted the picture on the PR Facebook page and Instagram....peeps appreciate the save but we are getting blown up for misidentifying the bird.

I'm gettin' there as well. And typically, I welcome it.

Hey - now with the severe ammo shortage, are we allowed to go back to posting 3-shot groups again without getting slain?

Well, with (maybe) Tom Johnston from The Doobie Brothers, and @Geno C. watching over you, you can't go wrong!

 

[Badfinger]

Clearing off the driveway yesterday morning and it's about 3*. I noticed a bat flying around my security light, really?
You can see it on the lower right screen flying upward at 21 seconds and after watching the video I see it's chasing bugs.

 

[Badfinger]

Baby It's COLD Outside...

 

[roostercogburn98]

Those little guys keep hanging out. I move them, but they always find their way back to creeping on me. Not really as much help as I’d like from them.

 

[wh20crazy]

And a bubble level. I’m so cornfused on if I need one or not? Think if I started a thread about it, I would get the answer I need?

I have a bubble level in the front sight on my .45-70. I didn't know how bad i canted the gun before I got it.

 

[wh20crazy]

This morning:

 

[roostercogburn98]

On a new view. The 7400 needs some parts, so waiting for numrich to deliver.

had a serious talk with the bug last night. Told her she had too many things going on and preceded to strip some unnecessary wiring from her. Wish I had a before picture, but it was a disaster. The pile is what I removed, still may get a few more loose ends today.

 

[Icallem]

Everybody looking for some food.

 

[gunjunkie45]

Gus fell asleep eating. And he's snoring. Cute as hell.

be careful how much you feed those boys they grow fast.
Right @Geno C. @tnichols

something I do 2-3 times a day on average and finally got bit. Happened yesterday right before lunch. Had a hell of a time getting it to stop bleeding.

manager found this after about 30min.
Worked great.

I’ve used Super Glue on nasty ones like that and it works real fine.

This stuff works great if you can find some.

Yessir, it’s fertilizer

 

[Alabusa]

Out my front door.....

 

[roostercogburn98]

Just can’t find the motivation today. Don’t desperately need it , but I’m swapping some other parts and this is easy to do while those happen. Fucking rain and cool weather makes me want to sit and watch it with a warm cup of coffee.

 

[DukeGSP]

I thought I'd take a quit cat nap, but Noooooo! The crows had to start making a bunch of noise and my finger got all itchy.
I had probable caws.

There was a fourth, but I didn't get all of him and he went hobbling off through the woods. Owls gotta eat too.

Love rimfire window shots. What kind of rifle, Sako?

I see you.

Germans using American scopes. Ah how the tables have turned.

Beautiful winter day yesterday. 18 degrees, sun, and no wind at our FP. Got to shoot some and spot for a friend. Don’t dig on him for that wonky left leg position. It got between a motorcycle and a bus when he was young, so it doesn’t work the best.

We noticed the 1,030 yard target was giving very little audible feed back. I blamed it on the dense air and wind direction. When painting steel this morning, I discovered another reason. Snow is getting pretty deep.

I like the "see through" handrail. Do you run a rose bud on the deck or is it heated?

E

 

[tnichols]

Neither. Just clean it every time it snows and let the sun get to it when it can. It’s been tough keeping it clean this year. We shoot under the seating benches. Behind us is traditional deck railing with spindles. I built it about 15 years ago. I’m an amateur.

I should note that the portion he’s on is elevated roughly 4’ above grade. The part I’m on is a step down from that. Snow is level full now on the lower portion. I built the railing so a snow shovel fits under it.

The end...

Nice slice of heaven there Tom.

From an old Iowa boy, that looks more like heaven than your usual reference...

FWIW, I ended up trimming the spring and polishing the chamber. My 270 runs like a champ now.

Chamber has been polished, but I’ve read about those needed a loop off the spring to make them play nice sometimes. Thanks for the heads up, it might come to clipping the spring

Enjoying the high of 55° and something we haven’t seen in a while, the sun!

Different than here

 

[tnichols]

Load development for Ty’s AR. Hoping to come close to BH 77 OTM (MK262 Mod 1) which like everything else is nonexistent now. Testing was just ok accuracy wise, and I’m guessing a touch on the slow side. Couple of more powders to try.
