Very cool encounter... That bobcat was probably focused on trying to put a stalk on the turkeys then realized something just wasn't right.

I'm 6"2 so I built the top wall to be 75 inches tall, being able to full stand up and stretch out my legs is totally worth it. The majority of timber is cut for 2x4x8 and 4x8 so it's not costing me anything in terms of complexity or costs.

That's what I did (minus the stair.stringers and steps, but they would have fit. ... I got everything into my 6.5 truck bed. I had rachet straps as two walls were above my truck bed. I built this as something I could do on my own just using my muscle. I spent a lot of time wandering the store...

Completed my blind today. Unfortunately only had white caulk, hopefully it's water tight! some how managed to get spray foam I'm my hair, which is odd because I don't recall spraying the ceiling. Need to get a rubber mat install , a hunting chair, and make a platform for my rifle. My Henry...

Looking good ... Haha I know exactly how you feel about getting everything flush and square. I just blame it on the 2x4 that are about as straight as elton john. I think my next one I'm using pressure treated for everything as it's only 50 cent more per 2x4. I'm not happy with my roof, I'm going...

I don't know ... I was thinking I need to buy a short 16 inch single shot rifle, and a compact crossbow.Any recommendations? I have a Henry single shot 357 mag I'm going to see how it fits. I actually have been thinking about the heat situation. How big of a solar panel do you recommend?

Orion hunting blinds sell diy windows I'm happy with them and glad I went with them, will see how they hold up. The door is from deerview it's the 20x60 . I ordered 4 doors and picked them up at the Iowa deer classic to save on shipping.

I decided to build some hunting box blinds for the new property. My first one is almost done. Just need to router out two more windows, and I'm not happy with my roof but amazed I got it done. I bought a router after watching a YouTube video where the guy made it look easy. Mine for some reason...

No houses close by maybe 1000 yards to nearest house. The property at one point had cattle on it. I found a concrete troth. A 100 yards away from it. That housing looks like it's need to be replaced. I'm gonna call and see if I can get it repaired and hook a hose up to a little fountain like...

it's out in the middle of no where by a creek third to half of the way down the creek slope. its leaking into the creek now which is about 10 to 20 feet. I think it's an arestian well and Im guessing they put it there to have free water and they had to put it by the creek to get it below the...

its right next to my creek I think it's a well, but that pipe seems awfully large, but I don't know.Im not sure why one of the previous owner would of put it there either.

I sold my southern il farm. I came to the realization anything over 3 hours away is too long of a drive for me.

I looked up the llc / trust and it looks like a very successful local business owner own the land and passed away. I know he owned a hunting store in Quincy called game masters. Not sure if he had an outfitting business also, wouldn't surprise me if he did. I first thought it was hadley creek...

Water lines going to ice makers and dish washers gives me anxiety. A dollar plastic fitting or pipe failing and causing thousands of dollars in water damage. Found this from Google an odd diameter is European A ".511 diameter dishwasher pipe" generally refers to a drain hose with an internal...

If he was shooting his gun on 4 acres at iron targets would you have a problem with it? Or is it just because he has the potential to shoot a deer? If you only had 4 acres and could shoot a buck on it would you? I don't like the 300 yard rule. I could be 100 yard away and have my rifle pointed...
