    Any trappers here?

    I've been wanting to set some traps on my property, if I get time I'll try and make a video of making 1 or 2 if I can.

    Any trappers here?

    K9 trapping is a whole different ballgame and yotes are the smartest of them all in my experience. Earth anchors are the way to go imo, best holding power and easiest to conceal under the trap in bed. It is a lot of trial and error. Scent control helps a lot also with them.

    Had two FTF malfunctions at range the other day

    I've seen a friend's AR have ftf from mags loaded and not "banged" against a hand to seat all rounds back in the mag. Sometimes they ride slightly forward and don't seem to feed properly.

    ruger lcrx opinions

    I didn't notice a rear sight on the sp101 unless I just missed it. The lcrx was one of the only models I noticed with one which is what drew me to it. I haven't shot or even held one but I wouldn't think the recoil in a 38 would be all that bad. Besides having 38 on had already that is why I...

    ruger lcrx opinions

    Right, but if I load a shotshell in my g19 as the first round, it won't cycle the following round.

    ruger lcrx opinions

    If I was going to use it primarily as a pocket/self defense I'd go hammerless. I'm mainly concerned with chipmunk/ field mice/ rats while I'm working at home outside and would prefer to be able to go single action. It'll most likely be owb holster and if I run out I throw a coat over it.

    ruger lcrx opinions

    Anyone have a Ruger LCRX with a 3" barrel? Any feedback? I am debating on one, I "need" another revolver for home/ carry. It would be carried often at my "homestead" in progress. I want to have the first shot as a shot shell for more nuisance rodent type problems and the remaining 4 would be...

    Any trappers here?

    1 piece of advice, don't get caught by a ton of fancy bait and lure. I'd say grab 1 bottle of a good castor based lure and use it to bring them close.

    Any trappers here?

    Read up on laws on disturbing a dam and how close you can set to lodges and huts etc......Beaver aren't terrible to trap, 330s are the easiest way imo. Just be very careful using the 330s, get some safeties for them and setters. Any major questions feel free to shoot me a message. It's more of a...

    2021 Gardening Thread

    Figured this would be a good place to ask how to "close" my garden. So I moved and my new place had an overgrown garden. I weed whacked it down and tilled it and within days it was a forest of weeds and stuff. Whacked again and raked crap out. My father in law came and helped me till it good...

    Tree stand thoughts

    I was limited because I needed a "2 person". If single is an option for you there are a few nice looking ones I saw but do not have personal experience with. I like hang on stands usually because you can set them on odd shape trees and go as low/ high as you like.
