In today's market what is reasonable?
-
Victory was over $3,000.00 new plus the sportsman stud. Used my pair on my hunt. Awesome binos.
-
Not this time. But it's amazing how much you " get around". Brian used to live less than a mile away. Now he's a whole city away.
-
He bought another house and is in the process of moving. I became real busy and couldn't help.😁😁
-
You love seconds! Just kidding. How's the move?
-
Street legal and registered? Nice stereo setup with the speakers.

Very interesting.

We named ours red meat, dinner, etc Blackie was a black cow and did not give calves and ate more than her fair share. She was a hog. Nobody likes pigs, but hogs get slaughtered. So, this it was. She was the first animal we raised and ate. We sat down to eat and my oldest, age 9 at the time, said," Dad, mom...." And a long silent pause. And I thought, here it comes, she can't eat it. Then she said, "I'm glad Blackie was such a pig, she tastes good!" I knew then the kids would be alright with it. Wow, that was 17years ago. Time flies.

I would do anything smaller than an elk or beef steer myself. Elk I might would do myself but I don't really think I'm setup yet for those larger animals and it is a lot of work.

Typically you have to plan three to six months in advance. Some places have a standby list for people who cancel. On a goat, just do it yourself. Sheep, again do it yourself. Cattle, I've not been that brave. That's a lot of work and I'm not set up for that.

And I just put a great tasting mulie in mine.

I have sheep. Goats are too hard to keep in and destroy things. I also have 2 two year old steers that are almost ready for finishing out/butchering. Hay will go through the roof and has already started to. The fuel/fertilizer/equipment cost has doubled. Watch what meat prices do next year. Maybe nearly double unless everyone sells, and then the year after will soar instead. Get ready for the ride.

I have several trailers, single axel, double axel, triple Axel, and they have their purposes. I have owned trailers for more than 30 years. If you are not hauling heavy weight a dual axel trailer requires a brake controller and will cost you more in tires, maintenance (grease, bearings, brakes and brake parts) and you tend to have more flats since the front tire kicks junk up that the rear tire loves to hit just right to impel it and sometimes destroys the tire. Small buried objects or mesquite trees can take out both tires in one shot. Plus, the rear tires tend to wear out faster since they scuff more when you turn. And the braking axel tires lock up easier when there is little to no weight on the trailer, even when you've readjusted the brake controller to try and compensate.easier to flat spot trailer tires and ruin them, especially if you forget to readjust the brake controller. And if double axel isn't bad enough, I'm replacing tires on my triple axel right now. I just bought 8 tires at wholesale, two spares, and I'm spending almost a grand ($). I got 15 years out of half of those tires but only because I protected them from the sun! The other half wore out or were punctured beyond repair after the Hazzard Warranty ran out. I haul two squeezes of hay for my animals with that one, or on occasion my big old backhoe short distances. Tires need to be replaced every 5 to seven years on most trailers and especially RV's to avoid throwing tread, and the years go by quickly. Most tire places will not repair/patch a tire that is more than 7 years old, or cover them with their Road Hazzard warranties. That's enough of Tires 101.😁 On a nother note: Sheet metal just shot up to almost triple from two years ago, a metal shop friend of mine complained to me just yesterday. He had to double his price to his customers and some metal is just flat out unavailable. So, just like ammo, what is the new value on anything built with sheet metal, steel, and lumber? What is the new value on anything? Best wishes finding a trailer and selling one. Hang on for the ride! I hope we survive this presidency with the current politicians. If it's wrong, they will probably do it. It was the perfect year to escape to a hunt! (Not always the best idea.)

Do the table, chair, and bottle of water come with it? Just kidding.😁

There goes his first born. Wow! $4.00 a found plus shipping. Good stuff though. 50 BMG is still at about $3.00 and up. I may have to start hunting with it.🤣
