I see fleet farm has a High desert 42 gun safe for $450. Is that worth buying? It’s kinda what I am looking for.

This ^^^ X2

Really quiet this morning with the heavy fog.
Only 3 shots by 8am!

Weedis, hope you find that deer, that’s tough to loose the first one.

273 is home for me. All harvest and tillage is done so we can get out. 5 in our family all out for antlers right now.
They are moving around, two small bucks hit a quarter mile from each other 3 days apart last week.

“If you’re going to be dumb, you better be tough”.

You play like crap you probably will not win. Only watched the last half, not pretty. Getting 3 points in red zone does not win games.
Refs missing penalties does not help either…

Years ago (like 5) , we ordered my kid a left-handed mossberg mini 510. Thumb safety and ejected the left side. It was pretty reasonable and solid. Now he shoots a left handed Tristar semi auto. It is better when you are comfortable shooting.
Get what you can if it’s a “kid gun” that only lasts a couple of years.
There is getting to be more options for south paws, luckily.

He basically worked full time this summer. Then still works on the farm after school and on weekends. His pickup is worth more than mine!

Thats cool CBMN. It’s heavy too!

It’s the newest vehicle at our place!
I usually don’t let any of them get more than 5k. With synthetic oil and name brand filter by the way.
Yes the oil gets “cooked” and all the additives break down and do damage to cam bearings and lifters if you wait too long.

I stand corrected. It’s called a standard bed 6′ 7″ long. Apparently gm had 3 bed lengths to choose from.

I found a website that lists what the topper fits. Looks like 2014-2018 1/2 ton “standard” bed and 2015-2018 3/4 and one ton ‘standard” bed silverado and Sierra.

West of Alexandria.

Well, he is 15. Lol.
I told him he will regret selling it. I would love to keep it but, I am not in the market for a pickup to put under it.

Really nice morning. We should have stuck to the water. Tried field hunting and saw no geese. Switched it up and found our sloughs are really full of water and the cat tails are about 8′ tall. The boy managed to get 3 teal anyway.

You could use a dc to dc charger if you don’t want to run an extension cord to the vehicle. They are used on electric over hydraulic trailers. That way it does not drain your vehicle battery but would still mean a wire connection to boat.

X2 on the plug-in tuner. My 2010 and 2014 chevys both have them.

Talk to your agent first and have them explain why it is so steep.
If your not satisfied, switch. We did when our teen started driving, lowered our premium by 50% compared to state (sell the) farm (to pay)
Insurance is a game of numbers. Boys are more expensive cause they wreck more stuff. Certain vehicles are more costly to repair and therefore cost more to insure.

Rib steak turned into kabobs.

Nice!

Funny this thread got started again. I got the opportunity to take my dad to Alberta for a bull moose hunt in 2022. It was super short notice, but we brought home about 1200 lbs of awesome meat!
I always wanted to do a “western” hunt so I kinda did my “once” already.
That said, I still want to go to Alaska, hunting or fishing.

Rib steaks.
Wife loves my Treager!

Thank you!
We are going to have to drive to find leeches as the local bait shops are all out. So we’ll look for them as well.

What do you mean by “big minnows”?
Thank you.

Nothing wrong with Arrowwood and Alexandria (except too close to home for me). Lots of things to do in that area. Many golf courses,restaurants and winerys around.
We like Grand view lodge on Gull Lake. More lodging options than Arrowwood and better pool. Never had a boat there though.

My son shoots on Wednesday. His 3rd year.
It’s a home field advantage for our team.
I love that we don’t have to get a hotel room for this state competition!

Thay are neat to hear in the woods as long as they don’t sit on your roof and call all night. (True story)
That same night, we were listening to the Beatles. There must be 1000’s in our poplar trees. Walked out to get more wood from the fire, and all I heard was buzzzzzzzzz. They are brown, about 3/4″ long.

Thank you for sharing.

A good reminder that those in uniform have many duties.

Oh, that’s funny.

We had 6 Jakes walk up to the decoy yesterday. My boy got his first,he couldn’t wait to see if a tom would walk by. He has shot at a few that were out of range before. This year, with a 12 gauge and at 17 yards, he nailed it! Fun to see those birds up close. We never had many turkey around here. Just quit raining before we set up. Everything was wet! At least the 2 mile hike in the muddy field was worth it. (Although,my knee would argue otherwise)!

Frustrating.
Reminds me why I don’t watch the news.
