How Hawkish those who never served in the armed forces or had their children put in harm's way are.

Have a good one.

You assume too much , Yotemuster. But that's what closet libs do. McCain and Romney call themselves Republicans too, thank God half of them went bye bye. I figured you out years ago, I'm even less impressed with you now that you've come out. Get a clue.

Some tillage? Wheat fields were tilled after each harvest then sat in fallow a year. It's dry land farming. There were seed drills to tow and discing after tilling. Not to mention dragging. 4 gallons an acre, not even close. Funny how you cant address any of Trump's accomplishments. How about some honesty on your part? But your a Republican? Sorry I don't believe it. You're probably anxious to dust off your Hillary for President signs.

China has been allowed by previous administration's to steal industrial secrets, manipulate its currency and put tariffs on US goods sold there for decades. Now that we have a president willing to stand up to the Chi-Coms, it's all Trump's fault. Get real. And how was farming doing so great there in 2006-2012 when land prices tumbled and diesel prices hit $5.00 a gallon a month after Obama was first elected? How do you operate a farm at a profit when it costs $300 a day to operate a tractor? That's the economy I recall operating a farm in se UT 2006-2012.. Now you're being flamed? Lol Please, no sniveling and I'd appreciate you using paragraphs, even though I've read enough of your nonsense.

Amanda! Happy Birthday

I just paused on the news and Biden was being interviewed. He said how ironic Trump would ask for Ukraine's help on the very same day Ben Franklin was signing the US Constitution. Has Biden been hitting on Hunter's crack pipe again? Or is he just worried ol Corn Pop and his bad boys might be waiting out in the parking lot? lol

Nice I was going to let him park here but he's got a spot.

What planet r u on? His approval ratings are going up even with this fake impeachment crap. He's keeping campaign promises and could do a lot more were it not for Rinos and a communist Congress. Conservative judges are being appointed. Tax reform has led to the hottest economy in your lifetime. Industries are moving back to the USA. I heard yesterday there is more industrial space under construction than ever in AZ history. The EPA has been hamstrung. Trade deals that favor the US for a change are being signed and China will be forced to play fair. The usmca is ready to be ratified but the Dems don't want to bring it to a vote. They'd rather have the US lose than Trump win.

Friend bought a second hand Traditions Tracker 209. It has a nipple I'm not familiar with. It's too big to fit a #11 percussion cap and too small for a primer.What am I missing here?

Yes threads tend to morph. Also looking for anyone whom has done the conversion to 209 primer. Does the bolt have to be changed too? Bolt face is almost totally flat.

Need it starting when?

Yes I see you can get up to a #13 cap, some states don't allow primers on MLs. Can't find any cap locally.over size 11. Anyone know where they can be had? Hoping putting a 209 primer nipple works. Caps get smashed by the bolt to ignite, primers not so much.

I've got #10 and #11 caps used on my rifle.They don't come close to fitting

209 primer doesn't come close to fitting

I have several in 3/8" and a couple in half inch. They're mounted on knock down stands. Stands can be pinned so they won't fall, too. I'll beat any price.

Congrats on raising a great American. I know the pride your feeling, had a son and daughter in the USMC. Gung Ho!

Several years ago I opted to go predator calling at night during a Super Moon. I arrived at my hunting spot at sunset. Decided to take a quick hike down into a drainage to see if there was water. There was a small pond and very fresh lion tracks around it. I had hiked down from the vehicle unarmed. I felt a little vulnerable as I jogged at dusk the couple hundred yards back to the truck to set up. Got to the back end of the truck and as I reached for the back door, I glanced at myself in the tow mirrors for a second but saw movement behind me. I turned around in time to see a lion peel off from the trail we'd both been on. I was on the left side of the truck, it ran at a 45' to the right of the Ford and disappeared into the brush. The cat had followed me from the water down below and was probably sizing me up as prey as we went up the trail. My last encounter with a lion was just north of Reavis Ranch. My dog is normally about 50 yards or less ahead of me while trail riding. Just as we headed along the canyon side before the turret, my dog suddenly ran back to me in a panic. I looked up in time to see a lion a hundred yards ahead of me jump down from a boulder above the trail and then race down into the canyon. I think if my dog had been fifty yards farther down the trail that cat would have taken my dog with him.

Skunks are just strange little turds and incidentally, a favorite table fare for lions. The felines grab a snack and get a cover scent at the same time. I woke up once while sleeping on the ground, totally hung over. A skunk was getting into my bags, horse feed and occasionally peering into my sleeping bag as my stinkin dog and I tried to wait him out. He'd sprayed my dog the night before. I'd finally had had enough and grabbed my carbine with snake shot to blast him. I got out of my fart sack to dispatch the little jerk and he just bound over about 100' to where my horses were tied, stopped under one and did a hand stand, threatening to spray my ride if I didn't mellow. Soon as I lowered my rifle he got back on all fours and went back into the brush. They're crafty little bung holes.

Yup, Johnny Ringo is buried on the one in the Chiricachaus

20B between Cleator and Goodwin

Sometime back I read a book documenting mountain lion attacks on humans. One fellow was a young, athletic and experienced backwoodsman employed by a lumber company for surveying and assessing timber stands. He played college football; a running back, and knew what it was like being blindsided and hit hard. He said that lions initial tackle was far more powerful than any hit he'd ever received on the gridiron. Knocked the wind out of him and the Lion wasn't letting go. Credited his backpack with saving his life.

I work a couple weeks a month about 2 miles back in Turkey Creek. There's several spots where a lion could easily ambush me in the deep narrow canyon, I'm always seeing lion tracks. Can't always have a friend or even my dog along. I'll work till dark then hike out stopping frequently to survey 360' with a good light.
