-18 at 6:30. But my weather station sensor is 16’ in the air so it reads slightly warmer.

They have a cult following and prices have been strong. I don't own one but I see the appeal of the idea. When I have held them they just don't do it for me.

Somehow I missed that RIA was making revolvers 🤔 Nice shooting

Bullshit! About 1990 I wanted to build an irrigation pond in my woods. A couple of the soil scientists from the soil and water conservation office came out to watch my contractor dig some test holes with a backhoe. When he dug I noticed how that the topsoil soil was only about an inch or 2...

Here is a visualization of the change in predators. Back in the 50s and 60s my dad would haul turkeys at Thanksgiving time. These pics were probably taken at a south east Ohio farm where the turkeys were raised outside with no overhead protection. Wouldn’t be possible today.

I haven’t seen a wild quail in 50 years. Doubt I’ve seen a wild pheasant in over 30. Probably 20 for a grouse. Even the turkeys have declined. No 1 reason is predators. Even if we had the agricultural practices of the 60’s there would not be enough cover. Habitat is vital but habitat without...

I've always known that they have the upper hand but this takes it to a whole new level. But no one here seems upset so I guess ya'll are cool with it.

No one here seems to understand that no landowner in history gave the power company any rights to this land. State law took that right from landowners and gave utility companies permission to trespass for a survey and now a Federal judge has expanded it to deny landowners their hunting rights...

75 years ago the electric company wan 75 years ago Edison wanted to run a wood pole transmission line corner to corner across our farm. It would pay $50 per pole for 6-7 poles. But it would also be a 25-30ft from center ROW. Dad had recently had a run in with Edison over a damaged car that...
