  1. I've redecked a few in the past, both with pressure treated and regular doug fir from Home Depot. I wasn't able to tell a difference in the lifespan between the two, but I have tried different coatings on the wood after the fact. The old farmers way of diesel and motor oil mixed 50/50 does work, but it's slippery on the deck when wet, it stinks like fuel for a while and the oily residue can transfer to whatever you're hauling- I found out the hard way with some sheetrock. Boiled linseed oil works too, but seemed like it took several weeks for it to dry completely. For most of mine now I try to treat them yearly with some deck stain/ sealer. It seems to help and isn't as messy as the aforementioned. The more frustrating thing to me is how much the boards will shrink as they dry out- leaving gaps between boards that can catch things like moving dolly wheels. Hope that helps.

    At approximately 20 bales a ton . That works out to 9 dollars a bail. That's a pretty good deal for cow hay that's not moldy. And you can feed it to your other livestock. 

    Heck I might be hitting you up 👍

    Feel free to PM me. Happy to sell to whoever needs it, and have approximately 3 squeezes left. We have a scale on site for weights, but you have to hand load your own, (no squeeze here unfortunately).

     


  3. I've gotten the recent blast of emails too. Haven't tried the restaurant yet, but nice to see it's under new management at least. From what I understood it sold a few years back and the new management closed the restaurant. Customer service for the lodge/ rooms also went downhill too from there. Price list for the rooms shows a significant increase too... hope they can make it.


  4. I can't speak about the Hornady model you mentioned or to the other brands out there, but I have a Dillon 550c that I use for bulk pistol loads that I really like. The only issue I have ever had was one of the linkage rods needed to be bent ever so slightly to make it line up correctly. After that it's been smooth as silk. I will say that it took a little time to get everything set up the first time using it, but I think that's more a case of learning and understanding a new machine than difficulty of operation. Good luck in your search.

  5. Depends on what you're trying to control of course, but I use Demand CS as an exterior treatment around the base of the house for crickets, beetles, etc. It works well and has a long residual effect. Whatever you decide to use be sure to read the label, and apply it in a safe manner.

    My doctor suggested it.   I had no expectations.  All I can say is my knees no longer hurt and I can pull back my bow again after tearing two of the four muscles in my rotator cuff.  Possibly the placebo effect, but I like the results. 

    Just out of curiosity how did you make it, and how much did you drink?

  7. My experience has been that the water lines will freeze before the tank since they're smaller diameter and less water mass to freeze. I once had to leave my trailer for a few days with temps around 20 at night. The kitchen faucet froze up and cracked the faucet housing (plastic rv style faucet), but tank had no ice from what I could tell. If nothing else, I'd suggest draining the lines if you can, or winterize as previously suggested.

    I only use it for relatively short type shots when another type of rest isn't an option but I have not noticed POI changes. I agree with Kevin's foreend comments...

    Thank you both for the input. I'll be trying one on my hunt in a couple weeks as the grass is way higher this year and prone shots will be tough. Thanks!


  9. Lots of good ideas posted here. One thing I will add is that when I ended up building my own, I intentionally made it 37" high to the top of the bench. This allows me to either stand or sit (with a tall shop chair), while doing tasks at the bench. I found that to be helpful for me since I sometimes like to stand while trimming brass on a hand trimmer if it's just a small batch. As others have stated you will want something with a heavy top that is sturdy and won't wobble every time you resize a piece of brass.
