    Quartering a Big Hog in the field?

    You could always drag the pig out on a plastic sled by hand or with the ATV.

    How Do You Heat Your Workshop

    Eventually I'd like to get a gas heater for my double car garage/shop. From what I can tell, it will need a 45,000 BTU heater. Anyone have a brand they like? My walls and ceiling are insulated. The garage double door isn't yet. I might need to get me some foam board to stick on the garage door.

    Target style sights for hunting

    Both sights are on Underhammers. The left is a lollipop sight made by John Taylor a member here. It has a rear aperture that can be adjusted to different size holes. The other is an old TC sight.

    Wild hog

    It would depend on shot placement and how close you were for retained energy. Shoulders are heavily armoured. I would look for a good heart/lung shot. Just my :2

    Target style sights for hunting

    For me it depends on whether I might be shooting in low light situations or not. If I have a rear aperture sight I use the adjustable. Lyman also makes various fixed rear aperture peep sights that work well. The disadvantage to the aperture sight is it's difficult in low light. I've also...

    "You Ain't a Hunter" ??

    I guess I would put this in the to each their own. I've hunted in Canada, Hawaii, Texas to name a few places. They all have their own style of hunting. Some would agree with how they do it while others would have the attitude that you quoted. An example. From my hunting in the Texas Hill...

    Propper drill bit for stainless steel?

    Thanks. It was from a growth growing out the side of a Birch tree. I anticipated that it would have some nice figuring in it. Let it dry for two years before I made the handles.

    Propper drill bit for stainless steel?

    Thanks all. The knives are those cheap Pakistan stainless steel blades. I got them so I could work with my nephews on how to make a custom handle knife. The boys are lacking a male figure to show them these things. I've made several knife handles in the past but this time I'm using a...

    Dedicated to all the hunters with black powder

    The video I'm sure was well meant however, as said before courtesy in asking permission would have been nice. My hobby is photography as the photographer I own the copyrights to all my photos. Even when someone hires me to take portraits, I own the copyright. Here is a link to a photo site...

    Propper drill bit for stainless steel?

    I need a 1/8" hole and also a 1/4" hole on a knife handle. I was thinking of drilling through with the 1/8" and then following with the 1/4". But you don't recommend using the larger bit on the hole? Also I'm reading that some recommend cutting oil (of course) but also a slow RPM speed.

    Propper drill bit for stainless steel?

    I thought it was a carbide tipped bit that one needed for stainless steel. Purchased a colbalt & tungsten carbide tip bit with chrome vanadium steel shank. Got it home and it reads on the back "Not recommended for use on soft metals....Stainless steel." :idunno: What type do I need and who?

    Getting my rifle to group with maxi-balls

    Might have to lower your front sight. I use a felt wad soaked in lube like bore butter. I also experiment with 2f as well. Could be your rifle might like that.
