    Ladder test with a diy wireless camera

    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.

    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.

    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!!

    Crappie

    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.

    Broke ankle in 16A need help

    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.

    Multiple rifles for sale

    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.

    71 yrs old with 19 bonus points, what unit for a Bull

    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!!

    ? On Muzzleloaders reg change.

    One more add, if they go to regs like Wa ID or OR I’m screwed. Right now my gun is legal in every state I hunt muzzy seasons in when I get a chance (NV, UT, AZ,NM, CO, and ND). Just have to pop the scope off and put the sights on for NV and CO and put the red dot on for ND.

    ? On Muzzleloaders reg change.

    I had a really really primo NV muzzy tag this year and used a LR muzzy with iron sights. It still helped having a suped up gun for a couple reasons. 1: the drop out to 250 is about the same as a30-06 so I can put it right on that far out and level with their back at 300. 2: the energy is the same as a 300 win mag so if you do take a 300 yard open sight shot and you hit an elk in the shoulder blade, you’re gonna pile him up. 3. My gun shoots sub moa and it does make a big difference, even with iron sights to put the error all on your shoulders and remove as much as you can from the gun. I was able to keep softball groups out to 250 with a rear peep and front globe. Paper plate to 350. The site picture was the most critical thing, having the light right to see what you’re aiming at. My max range for the hunt was 350 if it was a buck on an open hillside with good backlight and contrast. 150 yards if light was bad. It really was fun getting ready for that hunt, more like practicing for a bowhunt for muscle memory then a rifle hunt where I site in and verify dope and then go hunting. Ended up shooting my buck at 120 yards but he was chest on and light was low so I feel the practice made it happen.

    Who’s got a custom muzzleloader

    I was wondering. I’ve got in a few spats on here about various things but I don’t think it was ever over wolves and ever with Kev. I would say whatever road you take with the muzzy make sure it’s a sabotless build. Getting the sabot out of the equation seems to be the key. Then make sure you top it with a good dialable scope. Even though mine does 2570 FPS with 300’s, it still drops a bunch when you get out past 300 yards.

    Sorry just saw you were thinking a smokeless build? I don’t know anything about them.
