I do it all the time to keep my hands warm. When it is 20 degrees and the wind is blowing, wet hands are COLD. Dry hands are much warmer.

ndcowboy

Thanks guys!
Can't say that I shot any leverguns today - but I did take half the day off from checking cows and making hay to take the family to the lake and spend the afternoon in the boat. My six-year old daughter and three-year old son both had their first tube ride behind a boat. Lots of fun.

REMEMBER THE PRICE TANKS ONCE THESE START GETTING SHOT AND ARE HARD TO GET RID OF AS NOW THEY DON'T COMMAND THE NIB VALUE.........THIS IS FROM EXPERIENCE AND OWNING 5 OF THESE IN THE LAST 15 YEARS OR SO NOT BEING RUDE OR PUTTING THESE GREAT SHOOTING RIFLES DOWN A BIT BUT IF NEW IN THE BOX THEY HAVE...

So nobody is hurt when these chain fire? I thought it was pretty dangerous.

Firefox gets my vote.

So many people in our area are using the electronic callers that they seem to be turning ineffective. I'm not a big predator hunter, but I'm hearing this from guys who compete seriously and win contests.

ndcowboy

I think the Colt M16 which evolved into the AR15 would have to get consideration.

ndcowboy

I'm a fan of fixed blade broadheads. There is little to nothing to go wrong with them. Keep it simple. Last year I took a buck with the Cabela's Mini Lazer Pro. It is a 90 grain, 3 blade broadhead, and after the hit, it was like a horror movie the way the deer bled. On every heart beat, blood spraye...

ndcowboy

H335 is my favorite.

When I was a kid, I always sent in the card for a free Cabelas catalog. Did it for years without ever buying anything - but would sit for hours and dream about all that gear.
In the last 15 years, I've more than made up for all the free catalogs they sent me

Rest in peace Mr. Cabela.

That price isn't too bad - but they don't have it on hand and estimate at least 90 days.

ndcowboy

Yup. Then try to buy some with powder, primer, and bullet factory installed.
I bought some used 45-70 brass on here a couple weeks back from Old Ironsights. Was glad to get it.

Oops - didn't know Hosehead was from Canada.

But I do love a little Strange Brew.

This fall I picked up a very clean scoped Marlin 45-70 for $450. They are out there. One idea for you - I'm not sure how old you are as you refer to yourself as a "kid" - but if you are 21 or older, spend $30 on a C&R license, then use the auction sites like Gunbroker and buy any lever...

ndcowboy

It would be a Ruger #1. No doubt. Especially since I own two of them in 30-06 already.

ndcowboy

I bought my wife one for Christmas and she loves it. I still like my laptop more. I'm not a big fan of touch screens because a person is constantly smearing the screen he is looking at.

I bought that for my dad for Christmas. He really enjoyed them.

Well gk, just come over here and say that :) What I mean is that you should see the terrain and conditions. I appreciate that not all hunting is done in the greenwoods but I would get no pleasure from long range sniping an animal that has little chance of even knowing I'm in the same county. I gues...

A MSRP of $1379 is a little steep for this guy.

ndcowboy

I haven't seen that before. What does it run a bottle?
If it is terrible tasting, I can dump it in the Belarus to help with the cold diesel starting. 11 below this morning - got the tractor plugged in to feed cows in about two hours.

ndcowboy

Madman, You are completely right on the cost of other heating. We used propane for a short while when propane was really high. It was about $4000 a year for our house. I knew we had to do something. Our furnace has three electric motors on it. One to run the auger, one to run the air flow to the bur...

ndcowboy

We use a coal stoker. Here in North Dakota we burn lignite coal, which isn't as good a quality or as hard as the east coast coal or the coal from Wyoming. We use about 16 tons a year in our furnace - at about $32 a ton. I keep our coal in three hopper bins outside. I carry 8 to 10 five gallon bucks ...

ndcowboy

What I saw was a complete lack of respect for the animal. Honking and yelling at the buck attempting to get it to stand up so he could shoot it was a real low point. The only way I could understand this is if the hunter was disabled, but I highly doubt that is what happened here. I think there is a ...

ndcowboy

That was pathetic.
Why somebody calls that a hunt is beyond me. Even worse is putting it on youtube.

ndcowboy

I had that exact rifle. It fed with no problems and shot accurately. But I hate recoil, and it hit pretty hard with full loads.

ndcowboy

Yeah, it takes a bit of fuel to put up that hay. I use a diesel Oliver tractor for bailing. Most of the hay is cut by my dad with an older gas 14 foot Versatile swather. Some of the hay is raked, some is bailed straight. We actually fixed up a little Ford 8n for cutting ditches this year with a seve...

We try to put up 800 to 1000 big round bales every year. Here is our hay pile from two winters ago which is the most recent picture I've taken of haying (we had a lot of snow): http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n137/neumiller/DSC_0122.jpg From another angle: http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n137/...

ndcowboy

We're a week or two away from starting to hay. Then it consumes us for the next couple months putting hay together for a couple hundred head of cattle.
I will say I am NOT jealous of that square bailer. If one of those ever ends up on our place, rest assured, I must already be dead and gone.

ndcowboy

I've got a coal furnace in my shop. It would kill that thing in about 10 minutes

ndcowboy

Minnesota vehicles are terrible for this, but North Dakota ones are fine.

ndcowboy

I hate, hate, HATE recoil. Yet I've got a couple Ruger #1 30-06 rifles that I shoot gophers with. All it takes is a reloading bench. I can load cast bullets over a charge of Unique powder and it shoots about like a .223. One of those rifles I got for dirt cheap because it is the short little Interna...

ndcowboy

I've had one in 20 gauge for the past five or six years. By far my favorite pheasant gun. Points naturally and I've knocked down a ton of birds with it. I'd buy another in a heartbeat.

ndcowboy

They've got free shipping this weekend on orders over $50. Just FYI

Grizz, you have no clue as to who I am or my life experiences. I've read the bible since then and found it lacking. It is filled with evil. It is the words of men , who have taking axioms of common sense and through translation and rearrangement, crafted a book that portrays itself to be God speaki...

Three notes: 1) We need to be sure to worship the creator and not the creation. Romans 1:25: They exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator--who is forever praised. 2) Without Faith, we have nothing. Hebrews 11:6: And without faith it is im...

They work awesome! I've got a Ruger 77/50 that I use for muzzleloader hunting here in ND. I use 180 grain XTP .44 caliber bullets in sabots. My last deer shot was at 118 yards with open sites. Dropped him quick.
I don't use anything else.

I'm extremely new to the 1911 game, having only owned one a couple months and shooting it about a hundred times. I bought a Ruger SR1911 and it has been a lot of fun. First 50 rounds were el' cheapo steel cased hardball, and the next 50 were handloads with 230 grain lead bullets I cast using a lee m...

Back in my college days, a couple buddies and I rented a house with a terrible roof. Squirrels would come in and out all the time. So I did what any man would do - I grabbed a couple coyote traps and tossed some oatmeal on them. Those town squirrels never knew what hit them when they came in for a s...

They are SLOW. Do a google search of them and you'll find lots and lots of complaints. But the stuff always comes and is fairly priced. Just don't order from them when you are in a hurry!

El Paso Saddlery sells their ranger belt in 1 3/4 width. They are really, really good belts.

ndcowboy

Messed up on a real nice Muley buck today. Was within 10 yards and I was at full draw, but I took a step to the side slowly to get a clear lane and he busted me. Good thing there is still four months of season left.

ndcowboy

Breaks my heart to read this. Prayers sent.

I sold a Vaquero 44 mag with a 7 1/2 inch barrel a couple months back at $425.
I often see them in that $500 ballpark, and they sit at that price around here.

ndcowboy

Just remember the NM Vaquero is a Colt sized frame. The Flat TOP is the full sized Ruger, significant difference in what pressures they'll handle. Don't go hot roddin' in the New Vaquero! :P Disagree on two points. First, the Flat Top .44 special is the exact same size frame as the New Vaquero. Sec...

ndcowboy

I've got both the flattop and the Vaquero in 44 special. Of the two, I shoot more accurately with the Vaquero. I don't know why, and it goes against the logic of adjustable sights being better for accuracy, but that's how it works for me. And since I never tire of showing pics of them, here they are...

My favorite toy store is Cabelas - probably because I only get to one every four or five years. I'm holding out hope they will build one here in North Dakota.

I love my Cabelas card. Pay it off in full every month, and then enjoy the points and free stuff from Cabelas. One time, there was a TINY mixup, and something like 5 cents didn't get paid on the monthly bill - which then kicked in interest on the entire month's bill. I called them up, and I'd say wi...

At our local Scheels store, CCI primers went from $30 a thousand to $35 a thousand about two weeks ago. I asked the salesman and he said, "The fresh ones cost more" with a smile on his face. Of course, there was the fact that you could clearly see they put the new price tag over the old pr...

You may want to consider the Lee Classic Turret instead of the Lee Pro. A bit slower, but MUCH MUCH MORE reliable. There's videos of it on Youtube if you want to take a look.
