    The Future

    It's a nice compliment, but no, I am just a business guy who runs a large business buried within a larger holding company :) What I've been fortunate to learn through over 20 years in business though, and especially recruiting countless young people, is that "the future" is self-fulfilling. If...

    The Future

    willy, it's not "bait" that you need to bite on brother, it's simply an additional point of view. Discussions are meant to be multiple points of view, not simply mutual admiration where everyone agrees to the same sentiment. Just to illustrate that point: "Too many only look at the end...

    The Future

    I'm going to take the devil's advocate here, just because I'm in that kind of mood, and to have a decent conversation someone has to do it. A different view of the "good old days", and I am more than happy to provide actual documented references here: - decimating animal populations from...

    Douglas county WI

    You occasionally see one, but not like northern MN as far as I can tell. I only got 1 on my cameras in the last 12 months and he was a lone male. Way too many coyotes though, they are the real problem as far as I'm concerned, the packs move through and everything shuts down for a good week...

    Is Fleet Farm gonna go down the sh....

    We do a lot of business with FF (I work for Cargill) and the Mills family has employed long-time buyers and merchandisers who are truly "Farm and Fleet" people themselves who live in the exurbs and rural. With this ownership change, those employees will slowly but surely be replaced by...

    Anyone have experience with BrazTech|Rossi R92 Carbine Lever Action Rifle?

    Yes, they are a fine rifle, no issues, totally comparable to Win or Marlin. That said, I assume you mean .45 LC (Long Colt). IMO not a great cartridge for hunting, better for cowboy/target shooting.

    Can anyone enhance this?

    You can do a ton with enhancing this pic, but you need a higher quality file. At 487K the compression of the JPEG doesn't allow for much - do you have the best quality original? Either way he is a shooter IMHO

    Nice little map tool

    Very nice, thanks for sharing. Seems to combine features of GIS that a lot of counties have, but saves you from going to many different county sites.

    MN DNR cant sell out Camp Ripley hunt....again

    My quote from another thread on "what would you do" to change laws in your state: "MN: Fire the entire DNR and replace." Enough said, it's a joke of epic proportions.

    game laws" IF YOU COULD"

    For the places I hunt - WI: enforce trespass, as a private land owner this is ALL that is required for me to 100% happy with the situation To be EVEN better than 100%? :) enforce the same feeding/baiting/shine/daylight laws for everyone, from recreational wildlife watchers to non-Indian...

    Russian Knife sharpener

    I've never used the Russian kit, so I can't speak to that. But having used both the Lansky and Wicked, here's what I can say: Yes, the principle of consistent bevel and graduated cutaway is the same. It actually seems to me to be a simple matter of physics that unless you want to waste a lot...

    Russian Knife sharpener

    I took a knife sharpening class about 10 years ago, and then after trying all sorts of tools, ended up with the Wicked Edge about 3 years ago based on recommendations from some pros. (like UP there, I have no vested interest in them either). Downside to wicked edge is it is brutally expensive...

    No, that is a pretty unique marking, most are solid color, or maybe just a tiny bit of white
