Thought I’d throw up a quick update. Got my mount back last fall but finally got around to hanging it this weekend. We have 22’ peaks in our house (which is a shop with living quarters) so we have to rent a scissor lift to hang anything heavier then deer!!!

They hunt that statewide, all unit, OTC tag don’t they? The flexible season dates would be nice on that. Just make sure you don’t shoot two or you’d be breaking the law.

Bump for a sweet rig. I’ve got the same in a long bed. Sits at the farm ready to work and is always up for the job!!!

How big of a set of balls do you have to have to turn back a rifle antelope tag you drew with 10pts?!?

This is intriguing!! Will any router work with 12v? I woulda thought you’d need an inverter? I usually just use my pioneer to drive over there but I spend more time driving then shooting a lot of time!!

That would definitely be possible. It’s called galvanic shock. Tin foil and metal fillings will definitely get it going.

I don’t lie. I just smile and nod. Every day I hear about how a lady had nice teeth until her baby robbed her teeth of calcium, how someone’s wisdom teeth came in and “crushed” their other teeth, shoot I’ve even had people claim they can pick up radio stations through their silver fillings. All the aforementioned are 100% impossible. When I was right out of school I used to try to correct them on it. It doesn’t work. Just smile, nod, and fix their actual problems. Works out better for everyone. Back to topic. I have had plenty of broken teeth come in from bullet fragments and pellets in meat. It’s a legit problem. I just wish copper bullets acted like lead core in my really accurate guns. My middle of the road guns that shoot around 1 moa seem to be fine with copper at about the same, it’s the really accurate stuff not liking them. Maybe it’s the fault of the guy behind the reloading press and the trigger though as it seems plenty of other guys have good luck with them?

I sometimes agree with patients on things that I know aren’t true as it’s easier then trying to change their mind on what they think. It is 100% impossible for lead to imbed into your teeth from sinkers. Break them? Yes. Leave lead stuck in them. No. Silver amalgam fillings are often on the side pits of your teeth, and often times chunks of silver filling will imbed into your gums when they are cut out at high speed. Google “amalgam tatoo” and it’ll explain it.

I try Barnes in all of my rifles but I have yet to find one except my .375 H&H that likes them. Also the post about the split shot leaving lead on someone’s teeth is 100% false. That cannot and won’t happen.

Completely unrelated but does anyone know who I should call if I have an erection lasting longer then 4 hours?

Yeah I listened to it. It’s gonna be a mad rush next year. Maybe even this year. My dad and brother have 22. We’re gonna go kill some stuff the next couple years. Shoulda burned them back when I had 8-10. Wish I had 20-22 points in AZ for anything!!

I’m gonna dump them next year. I’m thinking 44 2nd season (currently takes like 9 points so I think I’d be ahead of the game with 21) and take advantage of the new season dates essentially making it a 3rd season. Or 67 4th season and take advantage of the really late dates.

So it’s essentially two things at play, a policy change starting in 2020 pushing all the dates back, but due to 4 year calendar change, it starts out on the earliest timeframe it will ever be thus effectively negating the policy change for one year. Then in 2021 the policy change from this year lands on the latest dates the calendar allows which is the perfect storm, essentially turning the new 2nd season into a third season, new 3rd into a 4th and the new 4th season into a slaughter fest. I anticipate a lot of people will hold off this year in anticipation of 21 but maybe most people don’t dig into it as deep as I do? I do know that point creep is gonna explode in 2021.

2nd season 3rd season 4th season

The way the 4 year season structure lays 2021 is significantly later then this year. So yes you are correct that the new season structure starts this year, but the 2020 dates are the earliest they will ever be. 2021 has second rifle season going until November 7 and 4th rifle going till the end of November. It will be a huge change and a lot of people will sit this year out in anticipation.

With the big date shift coming up next year I’d try for a tag this year that traditionally takes 6-7 points as they might slump a bit with people anticipating the later dates in 2021. Or pick a unit that takes 3-4 and burn your 6 points next year and get a later tag for the price of an earlier tag. That’s what I’m thinkin of doing. PS- I’ll keep you in the loop when MT deer is due.

I’m gonna hijack the heck out of this thread and say the same thing but for 20 deer points. I know there’s some good hunts but now I’m scared to burn them!!

Spent a lot of nights partying in Brookings with my cousins at SDSU. Smallest big college town around. I’m in NW ND. We have almost zero snow so it’s supposed to be 47 Saturday. I’ll be back at the farm in central ND so it’ll be cooler as they’ve got a foot or so of snow on the level but still plenty nice to sit out on a bucket. Just dump the beer out on the ice and it stays perfect all day. I’ll post pics if we find em.

Where in SD are you from? My parents are both from there. Big catholic families so I have family in every corner. Side note, the ice fishing has been slow this year in ND for some reason. Mild winter but that usually makes it better. Gonna try for some perch and walleye on a lake we have on our farm this weekend and see if we can’t fire em up a bit.

Whoa. Sad deal. Tough job that I’m grateful we have people willing to do.

Ouch. Makes my stomach turn thinking of that. Did the same thing as a kid on a trampoline, I’ll never forget pulling up my pant leg to see my ankle pointing at a 90 to my leg. Good luck with the recovery. Keep up with the PT as your calf muscles will go to heck in a hurry from atrophy.

Because of the pitting on the end of the barrel or did you examine the gun and find more issues? Pitting is unfortunate but stuff happens, especially over 80 years. I have some guns with will no doubt be collectors items someday but I hunt them hard because that’s what they were made for. Natural disasters happen too, floods, leaky pipes etc.

How’d I miss that 61?!? Dang good deal there!

This guy will likely be in his mid to late 80’s before he could draw a rut rifle tag. I’m guessing that’s a bet he’s not gonna take!!

Tough deal. Glad they caught it early!
