If the strap is still there, I'm guessing someone snatched it unfortunately.

It's hit or miss on the crab legs there. Last night was definitely hit. It was Saturday night so they were going through them at a good rate and they weren't soggy from sitting in hot water.

Actually, The Journey is where we went to dinner last night beforehand. I was so stuffed I wasn't sure I'd be able to walk around Cabela's.

You ever been to Fogo de Chao? If so, how does it compare?

Me and my wife went there tonight after dinner tonight. It's okay, but nothing spectacular. After being to the larger stores in Hammond and Wheeling, West Virginia, it pales in comparison a little.
The store is one floor and they have a mountain and a good number of mounts. Despite being smaller, still had a good selection and I picked up a new hunting knife.

Be glad. I'm from Pennsylvania and they're everywhere. Yeah, it was kind of fun to sit up on the hill and practice with my deer rifle. Not fun when you're walking along and step in their holes. They were bad for livestock too for similar reasons.

Thanks. What happened after a thousand rounds?

Could use some advice. I got a Remington 597 .22 for small game. It came with a decent scope and all in all I really like the gun.
Only thing I'm having a problem with is the studs for the sling. I've tried two different slings and there just isn't enough clearance between the opening on the studs and the stock for the sling clasp to fully close.
So I was wondering if there was a different type of sling I should try, should I try replacing the studs and if so, anything I should keep in mind with the synthetic stock.
Thanks.

Sorry. I like dogs more than most people and it sure hurts to lose them.

So you burn and then turn the ground with a shovel? How long after that do you put seed down?
Thanks

Thanks. Thought about burning it, but didn't have water or fire extinguisher available and was there by myself. I'm also adjacent to privately owned timber lands so was kind of worried about potential if it got out of control.

I very much enjoy it. It's always been a dream of mine. The plan is to work on the place as time goes on. My father came out a couple weeks ago and we hinge cut a few trees to try and create some bedding and cover. Everything is very much in the experimental stages right now. Just trying some stuff on a small scale to see what works and what doesn't. I got a lot of stuff to still figure out such as access. Right now, the easiest way through the place is right through the middle which doesn't help scent and noise much.
We should be breaking ground on a barn that will have a small place to stay in soon (assuming not too many materials get stolen) which will give me a lot more opportunity to work on things. Making a 4.5 to 5 hour round trip drive is kind of limiting.

Not sure really. Most of my land is wooded, but there is a decent sized area in the middle that is mostly brush, tall grass, and small trees. I'm not sure I'd want to clear it though from a habitat perspective.

Well, my wife went down to our place today and checked on my spots. About what I expected. Here is the one. I couldn't break up the ground well with hand tools so no good soil contact. My wife said some stuff was growing there, but looks like mostly on the end where I did manage to break it up a little. The other one seems to be turning out a lot better. Pretty good green up. She also pulled my trail cam card and another week of nothing. Starting to wonder if all the noise I made brush cutting and planting scared them off.

Thanks for the info. I've picked up some heavy duty locks. Where do you suggest placing the chain and how do you keep it from making lots of rattling noise?

Question for you all. How long does seed keep? As I said earlier in the thread here, I picked up a 50 lb bag of red clover at Rural King. I didn't use it all and wondered if it's worth holding on to or if it's not going to be any good next year.
Thanks
