    Rat Bait

    HAHA nothing works. except a 17 year old kid and a old fashion mouse trap. I had mice problems for years at the shop. I bought 5 packages of those glue mouse traps ( thats liek 20 individual traps) set them all over the shop Nothing except mice foot prints. put them in a big circle stacked on one another and just mise foot prints and some fur. I gave up. had liek 5 org old fashion mousetraps I tried for years to no avail. these mice were so brave they would walk across the wifes key board while she was typing on it. then sit on the edge of the desk and look at her. Ive tried the roller over the bucket of water trick even a fishing pole with lots of hooks set as a snare with peanut butter on them. NOTHING. So then my daughter comes home with 2 cats for my shop, yeah the shop right. one had a name home kitty and the others name was shop kitty. Heck I thought it was a good idea... shop cat got renamed to doug and home cat renamed to Jack 3 days later, neither one made it to the shop ever cause they might get dirty, so I hired my daughters boyfriend earlier this year to work in the shop, he being a dumb curious kid he is payed with them on his fingers not once but a few times (stupid kid) any way I noticed all my old mouse traps were off my desk. one day I am setting up a machine and I see him go running and laughing and going I got one I got one. Im like WTF. sure as shoot he got one and he just put them out that morning I guess. then an hour later hes off running in the shop again got another then another. in 2 days he got 4-5 mice with the old traps. in 3-4 years I got a few scorpions and one finger with the glue traps. He would take those chex mix's and slide it right over the little trigger flapper thing. Havent had a mouse in 3 months now. the posions work but stink things up when they die
  2. The org problem with Nosler ballistic tips in the early years was the lighter bullets for the smaller cals. 243 270 were made for Varmit hunting you had to use the heaviest grain for that cal avail as they had a slightly thicker jacket. the 308 dia bullets in the 150 and 180 grain as well as the 7mm bullets worked great with no problems in ANYTHING but the 7mm Remington mag and 300 Winchester mag. The problem with those Calibers where the bullet had too much speed. If I recall it took 2 maybe 3 years for nosler to change the bullet to a thicker jacket for the magnum cals. Nosler ballistic tips is pretty much the only thing I use for hunting yotes and bigger. My Dad was Also a nosler BT nut and he killed many (texas and Hawaii) axis deer,hogs and a few eastern whitetails. said the 1st few years he couldnt shoot the 7mm Remington mag. and 300 winmag with out blowing them into mush on entry. but his 308 and 270 had no issues. Nosler Ballistic tips did get a bad name for that early on and people where shy using them again.

    Yeah time flies too f'n fast. I get to see my youngest daughter oct 18 after 13 weeks in Marine corps Bootcamp back east. and her Boyfriend next week when we pick him up from San diego from MCRD Graduation. Seems like last week they both graduated from high school. life is boring as crap While our youngest is gone. do as much as you can with them, cause when there gone there gone.

    Recycling rims

    I feel your pain, we load up 15 55 gal drums of Clean alum millings once a month and our son who saves cans gets more than we do per lbs. Solids get us a bit more though Dont remember the exact amount per lb. We use barry metals on the west side cause they pick up (not cans just our machine shop crap.) Anymore its not worth saving alum if you consider storage space for 15-20 55 gal drums.

    fur friendly cartridge

    .223 is good but you will want to run med loads if you reloaded and bullets that dont expand, nosler used to make partitions for the .224 dia stuff, I used them on my 22-250. believe it or not berger target hollow points work fantastic as the don't grenade on impact you do have to hit them in the right spot though

    Youth Archery Elk

    Nope kids loose interest in not getting something on the wall Like DAD or Dads friends have. youth hunts should have bulls and cows mixed just like deer hunts. If they wanted to go grocery shopping they would hang with mom at the store. Same deal with bass fishermen theres kids wanna be like Dad seen too many kids loose interest over the years because there fathers would go out with the buddies bass fishing 3-5 times a week then once every 2 months take there kids out for BLUEGILL.

    Youth Archery Elk

    There is NO difference between cows and bulls. put him on a separate tag he will have a better chance of getting drawn, also if you get drawn you can sing your tag over to him. so basically he gets 2 chance to get drawn. My daughter started shooting competition archery when she was like 9 maybe 10 targets not 3d. she started hunting with a bow when she was 9. at 10 she was archery deer hunting , she had early archery bull elk tags 3 years in a row 2 I signed over to her one she drew. when you have kids, your top priority should be them! sign your tag over to them. They grow up to fast and then there gone. I signed tags (4 or 5 elk tags early rifle and early archery, 1 lope tag and a couple north rim deer tags) to my kids for the last 18 years. Now I get to hunt as the kids are all grown up so now its all about me. before the transferring of tags was legal I let them pull a trigger or 2 on a few deer tags. that all being said do it if and only if the kid wants to hunt , dont force them at all as they will stop immediately and never have a interest.

    Colt suspends production of AR-15 for civilian market

    Never said they were . They have there flaws like alot of companies. Mil spec standards are all we have. we meaning the machining/manufacturing industry. I am assuming you dont know what mil spec means it has nothing to do with guns and its not a size or tolorance. everything to do with standard practices and procedures. There is NO other general standard as no one makes such a thing. some companies have there own standard but generally reference Mil standards. The rest of them just have someone make the part to there blue print and wonder why it doesn't fit with a mating part. if more commercial , medical companies would reference mil specs in there blue prints it would save a ton of time and a ton of scrap parts, kinda of a waste of time when you have to call a company and ask for max fillet and edge breaks, roundness , and run out info. then wait 2 days for there engineer to get back a hold of you and go ummmmmmm I have no clue we were never asked that question before. you explain it to him and then he goes oh thats why the parts dont mate perfectly flat. now I understand and we have to force them or touch them up at our shop.

    So now whats the scoop, I wanna hear the stories he told at work today I am sure there are some good ones.
  14. Never had a VDL blow up but had them Not open going straight thru a lope in a 6mm Remington took my daughter good hits to put that lope down, last shot was a running away shot at about 300 yards she hit it right below the butt and it came out the throat. tried them on yotes after that and didnt make what range they went straight thru. yotes just spin circle biting the wound then haul butt like they were never hit.

    In case you missed it :)

    I click on the link saw her just start to speak and thought heck a harry potter movie, listen a little more thinking someone needs to bitch slap this little shoot. Then found out she was from Sweden and figured her mom was a gay Man and her sperm donor was some artificial concoction from Various drama queens named Susan.

    Others Cant meaning Cant afford it Ie different tags different states. or land owner tags in different states. tribal tags etc etc. in at I think you can get a few, one through public land and AZG&F and one through each tribe how does that rob other hunters of getting tags?

    I'd wack them and stack them all day long if I could has nothing to do with ethics, what your describing is nothing more then jealousy because he can do it and others cant. I have friends back east that kill truck loads of deer, they dont eat them they Just like killing them and donate the meat. Nothing wrong with people donating meat. or giving it to friends. Only thing I will eat in AZ is lopes, elk tastes like butt as well as mule deer and coues. I love to hunt muleys elk too me its like killing a cow, fun to call in for other hunters though. but thats just me. Harvest another politically correct term for the wannabe pc hunting crowd to try to look better than others.

    A hunters education course wont matter for most hunters, you cant teach ethics as its un teachable, its something you learn from the people who taught you to hunt or you hunt with. Not to mention everyone's ethics are different. I dont expect everyone to hunt like I do or act like I do, nor do I expect some SOB telling me whats right and whats wrong. As long as I am not breaking the law I can do anything I want wether someone likes it or not. . I got my 1st hunters ed class in bremerton Washington in 77. I learned to hunt in Japan and while I wasn't allowed to handle a weapon off base or allowed to hunt off base( I still did hunt in japan since I was 7 or 8 till 15. My Father had to take there required coarse in order to hunt in Japan a few times. which I still have his org books from the mid 60's. japan was extremely strict even for the Japanese. one screw up and you lost your hunting privileges for 10 years to life, pay huge fines and were humiliated so to speak ie being shunned not only by other hunters but family and friends.. and it doesn't make any difference what the screw up was or how small it was. But yet still alot of people got into trouble and lost there hunting privileges. Lot of HONOR in Japan and Dignity, Respect and another word I am looking for but cant think of it. here in the states its what loop hole we can find to our personal satisfaction. My Father was one of less than a dozen people in Japan that could hunt with a center fire rifle because he was Grand fathered in around 65. when they had bear problems or wild boar problems they would call my Father to take care of the problem. Even the local cops didn't have center fire weapons so they would hook up with my father or the other dozen people and take them out to where the problem was.

    no Surprise at all, seeling to the public vs selling to gov contract hands down government project, public is not Guarenteed sales gov is. I figured that was the case, the media made up the bullshit. about colt caving.

    The chips didnt happen from the cnc process, it more than likely happened after they were put together and there was some chips on the shipping bench that fell in. heres why parts are machined, then tumbled or blasted, then cleaned, then inspetion then goto plating, then goto assembly many procees's after the cnc process. depending on what the chips looked like. when you have a production job going its hard to cut corners as one puts it because everything is working perfectly for years to begin with. Every process has to be tied in
