    I use Gunbroker a lot (buy sell trade)without any issues. I am not a license holder and Gunbroker helps with the correct way to do it so you dont get in touble. Find an item and look at the feedback.
    Right now they have 20+ for sale if you cant find them elsewhere.

    Four Seasons in Red Wing had cases of 223 (PMC FMJ)and a wide selection of other ammo. Nots tons of anything but there was definately a selection.
    They posted a want for consignment AR’s and they have a couple of AR pistols.

    Just picked up my Mathews Creed. Big bucks but an awesome bow. Shot the Chill, Hoyt Spyder, a Bowtech and chose the Creed. All bows were great, I just liked the feel of the solid stop on this bow and its super smooth and quite. This bow has already made me a better shot!!.

    I have dug around the stump bore a few holes in it as deep as you can, pour in a little diesel and have a little camp fire. Once its burnt down you can fill in and should be good.

    All four of my shots hit him. 1st shot double lung, second shot back a bit (mostly guts)3rd shot a bit back quartering to the opposite rear leg (both of these shot were farther back as we were trying not to hit the head)4th shot and final shot was an inch away from the first shot.
    The guide said early in the trip that “the bears can be dead on their feet but still go all out for 90 seconds so get as much lead into them as you can”
    I added a couple photos

    This reply is from a proud dad, Brad began deer hunting 4 years ago and was successful in bagging a beautiful MN 8 point. He caught the bug!
    This was our 2nd trip to Saskatchewan with the first trip 2 years ago. The deer Brad took this year was a beautiful buck and experience was the best.
    Brad shot his buck on the 5th day of the trip from a untested stand. The action began early with numerous deer spotted and traveling through the area, all lookers until about noon when a solid 140 8 point came in. As Brad was measuring up this buck it was nervously looking back into the timber and Brad decided to wait and see what was bothering this buck. The 140 suddenly bolted off with Brads soon to be trophy showing up, checking for hot does. Brad had seconds to judge the buck as it looked ready to give chase. Earlier in the week talk around the lodge was that if you needed to reach for the binoculars it wasnt a shooter. Brad reached for his rifle and made the 200 yd shot. The buck took off (up to this point every deer Brad has shot has dropped in its tracks). I was riding with the outfitter doing the mid day checks and we showed up 10 minutes after the shot. After getting the quick details (Brad was concerned the shot was a little low) we went to the spot. Brad and the outfitter went to where the deer was and I circled the bottom of the hill. There was fresh snow and about 35 yds from the spot I found the smallest drop of blood and then another. Another 50 yds was his dream buck. The smile was unforgettable and getting a huge hug from your 24 year old son is priceless.
    The final point I’d like to make is none of this would be possible without Bob and Bobby Bergeson. Brads first buck came on property and the hospitallity of the Bergeson’s, both trips to Saskatchewan were arranged by Bob and Bobby as well as the pleasure of their company (Bob couldnt make the last trip). These two hunters and friends have given us the fever and passion. THANK YOU Bob and “Top Heavy”

    I believe you can not legally fish for them and if you catch one you can not take it out of the water.

    My girlfriend lives in Denver, and it is a huge story out there. Some areas are receiving record amounts of snowfall. Around Leadville Colorado, they have gotten so much snow that some people think that Leadville will be washed away when the snow melts. The snow is filling up the mines, and when it starts to melt all of the creeks are going to overflow. But also because of all the lead, it may contaminate the rivers, and streams, affecting the states water supply, and possibly the wildlife.

    But back to topic, hopefully the Big Mac, Johnson, and dare i say Elwood fill up again. Elwood was the first lake I have ever caught a walleye at, and also caught a MA walleye out of there . Last time I was there, about 6 years ago, The no wake buoy was up on a rock pile about 30 feet on shore. I would love to fish those lakes again.

    I use the Viento for top water frog action. That jig bar just makes that scum frog bob up and down, and the bass love it. I have a Rick Clund reel (blue in color) form BPS, and it works great for jig fishing/flipping. Along with a med/heavy action St.Croix rod.
