This thread is worthless with out pics of those 300 ponies you’re bragging about!

Just a little bit of information for the pawn-shop side of it. Some communities have a code on the books that prevents people with a misdemeanor(or above) on their records from opening up a store that buys or sells used items. Don’t tell me why, it was just a bit of information I ran across when doing some research for a business I was looking at buying. But of course if your record is clean you are GTG!

Good Luck!

I’m sorry for repeating this question but i still don’t think it has been answered. would this also move up the bass and muskie opener?

The actual text from the bill…

Sec. 81. FISHING OPENER; 2012.
The 2012 open season for taking fish by angling shall begin on Saturday, May 5, 2012, for the taking of species that would otherwise begin on May 12, 2012, under Minnesota Statutes, section 97C.395, and rules of the commissioner of natural resources.

So no, only walleye/pike opener.

Hi Drew. Yes I would like help with buying a good used gun. Preferrably a semi auto. Or an over under. Would a pump be good for a beginner . I know they ate less costly. Thanks Wil

---

What’s your budget? And a pump will work but makes it considerably more difficult on the doubles.

And I doubt he will sign it if the bill contains any provision to allow a wolf hunt.

Which it still does at this moment…

The Senate is adjourned until Monday, April 16, nothing will be passed until then, and Gov. Dayton then needs to sign off on it.

SKEET is a lot of fun and I miss shooting a while back when I was closer to a full gun club that also had 3 skeet ranges.

---

If you are still in Apple Valley why not run down to the MPLS Gun Club on the border of Prior Lake and Lakeville? They have 8 or 9 skeet/trap ranges along with two 5 stand ranges. I used to shoot skeet out there almost every day they were open. Now I can’t afford both fishing and shooting so I had to make the decision, fishing or shooting, I had to choose fishing, but do miss Skeet.

As for the OP’s question, practice, practice, PRACTICE!! When you first get started, make friends with a couple of the “regulars” at the range and just start asking them questions. They are always willing to talk shooting and most will give you a TON of pointers. Even ask them to shoot a couple rounds, watch what they do, and the good guys will usually give you pointers while going around the course.

A great video that will get you ahead of the curve is by Todd Bender, “Winning with the Fundamentals in Skeet”. It was recommended to me when I first started shooting and helped tremendously. I watched it before each time I went to the range until I was able to repeat everything he said. He is a great teacher.

Don’t get caught up in the reloading game just yet, with the hike in price of lead, primers, wads, and powder, if you are going to shoot 12 gauge the cost difference is about the same as the cheaper 12 gauge factory loads. If you start getting serious, a good MEC 9000G will get you started, with the amount of shooting you do in skeet a single stage is just a waste of time.

I just passed this information on to another site and it was deleted by site management within 10 min. there were no reply’s to it so it couldnt have been because of a bad comment…….. what do guys think is going on there??

If you go composite, make sure your joists are a MINIMUM of 12″ on center.

Whoops, just noticed I said Minimum, when I meant MAXIMUM

If you go composite, make sure your joists are a MINIMUM of 12″ on center.

It sounds like the battery. Is it fully charged? Is it still good? I would put a different one in thats fully charged and see if it does better. I just don’t see it being the tuner at this moment with the symptoms you describe.

X5 on the Weber! The only time I get flare-ups on mine is when the underside of the grate and the flavorizor bars are super dirty and I’m cooking something really greasy.

At the plea hearing, the government provided facts establishing that Yang and Korn operated a commercial guiding company on the National Wildlife Refuge on the Mississippi River in 2009 and 2010. During the course of their investigation of the defendants, undercover agents, working at the direction of the Wisconsin Department
of Natural Resources and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, hunted with the defendants, who intentionally killed and transported ducks in violation of Wisconsin law and the Lacey Act on October 6, 2009.

That being said, I think we need to grow up a little and accept that these are the dirty little secrets of keeping the cost of food low.

+100000000000000!!

I pay more for my food so I know things like this aren’t in it. But really have no problem using it occasionally. But don’t bich and complain about “pink slime”, then do more biching and complaining that the price of your food is going up because it is no longer being used.

Here’s my neighbors boat trailer, Low-Pro’s all the way around. The odd thing is this family is too cheap to get new batteries for their trucks that they have to jump them almost every day, but they can afford to put these things on their friggin trailer. Priorities I guess…:shrugs:

I wouldnt want to see private pond fish be eligible.

---

Wait.Wut?

Where does the report say it was out of a PRIVATE POND? It says pond, yes, but there are a dozen or so ponds within a mile of my house that are completely public and accessible to anyone, just because it says POND doesn’t mean he wasn’t fishing something public.

Awesome fish!!

And +1 to Pug!!

I went through this at my last house that had 8 large Black Walnuts (man were those walnuts a PITA in the fall). From my research log buyers are very picky, especially when they are taking small lots of the stuff. One or two won’t make them go out of there way for it unless it is PRIME wood. Also if it is grown in an urban area and not in the woods they generally don’t have the proper characteristics they are looking for. Urban trees generally grow more out than up, and they have a potential of objects in the trunk like nails, wire, etc. that could damage their equipment. They also don’t have the straightest trunks.

Where are you measuring the diameter? You should be measuring it 4 1/2 feet above the ground. Unfortunately 15 inches is about the smallest timber buyers are looking for, with a merchantable height(1 foot above the ground to the base of the first branch) of 8-10 feet. Otherwise there are too many knots and imperfections for veneers.

It doesn’t hurt to talk with a tree company about it, but I wouldn’t get my hopes up of getting a huge reduction in removal price.

LOL!! I was just thinking of mine saying that and “Find the nearest legal U-turn”

I’d be interested to know if the Paypal link he gave you sends you directly to Paypal. It could also send you to a “clone” Paypal where they are able to take all your info as you type it in. Just a thought…

From the confluence of the St. Croix River and the Mississippi River in Hastings, south to the Iowa border. From the train tracks following the river in Wisconsin to the train tracks following the river in Minnesota.

It’s actually the point in Prescott, not Hastings. And don’t attempt to go under the railroad bridge in Prescott if you plan to fish, the Croix is closed also.

I am not advocating knifing largemouth bass and throwing them back. Not even sure where that came into play.

---

Yes I understand you never brought up knifing, I just used it as an example. As I feel if a diehard walleye guy believes bass and musky are detrimental to the walleye, they also believe they have the power to “restore” a fishery and knifing fish they don’t want in a lake is the easiest for the average fishermen to do.

I’m not “blaming” bass for anything! Google “impact of largemouth bass on Chippewa flowage”. educate yourself by reading articles written by actual fishery managers. There is a legitimate concern over there on that particular body of water.

You said it…

I absolutely believe that LM bass impact walleye. I’m starting to see more and more in the SCR. I dont think it’s a good thing

BTW..where’s your research on the “impact of largemouth on the St Croix”?
