    Crimson Clover tips

    It is my understanding that crimson is a good soil builder which is my main goal when I plant it. Am I incorrect?

    Land partnership

    Get to work on the beavers! I had beavers and otters in my pond and creek. Beavers wiped out my trees around my pond and the otters cleaned out the pond! Took care of the beavers but still working on them dang otters.

    Land partnership

    I posted before I got to the end. The way you did it is a good way to go if an agreement can be reached. Often times it's hard to come together on who wants what and then the details of who pays for what can really screw things up. Looks like you guys worked it out fine. There is nothing better...

    Land partnership

    I think splitting is a bad idea unless it's several hundred acres at least and you could divide the property equally or to each others liking and keep it equal in value. That is often times a tall order. Tenants in common is what I did with two other partners when I first bought the farm...

    250 yard zero muzzleloader

    CVA Scout 45-70 conversion to smokeless is a great option in my opinion. Give Tim Moss a call. https://customgunsammorepairs.com/

    That is a good option. Check out Tim Moss at customgunsammorepairs.com. He's a got a real good CVA Scout conversion video on YouTube that is worth watching. Great guy to do your conversion if you haven't found someone yet. https://customgunsammorepairs.com/

    What Muzzleloader are you using?

    Mine was $1300 for the barrel which included a lot of extras. I found a NOS Encore frame so I'm at right around $2K.

    What Muzzleloader are you using?

    Wow, sorry to hear that. I would have thought leaving a load in for a few weeks would have been no problem. Mine's the Brux barrel and I cleared mine after our muzzleloader weekend even though i had planned to use it 3 weeks later for late season. I thought about leaving it in and then talked...

    Encore Pro Hunter with an ASG smokeless .45 barrel. 60gr of IMR 4198 and a 275gr ASG NSR bullet. Shoots just under 2600fps. Vortex Viper 4-16x44 for glass. I will size up some Pitmans in the spring just for fun to see how they shoot. No problem out to 300 with this set up. I also have two...

    Gun Cleaning Solvent?

    Extremely happy with Boretech solvents. Their CU+4 copper remover works great. Ballistol or Hoppes #9 are both great choices as well. For storage I run a wet patch of Ballistol down the barrel followed by a loose dry patch about 10 minutes later.
