it's about the same in my area . we have an abundant acorn crop this year . there are numerous apple trees in my neighborhood , and lucky to have seen an apple or two on any one of the trees . don't forget to watch around any grassy openings , I have seen some , here and there , hanging...
thanks for posting this , it's very good info , for either side of the mono bullet debate .
your mono metal bullet , on game results mirror my findings . I have not tried as many different bullets as you , nor have I shot as many animals as you . I gave up on them fairly quick . from...

I'd probably just cover the outside . this way things can open easy , "IF" something bad were to happen . I'd suggest either a wooden bottom , or putting two pieces of wood on the bottom to hold the box up off the floor , so air can flow under the box . drywall doesn't take being damp long...
I got another Email from MOA rifles yesterday . has a bunch of ready to go rifles , priced from $4500 - $10,000 . there was no 280AI listed . it said something like lets us know what you're looking for . I tried to copy the Email here , but it's too big .
