do any of you guys know if the plastic truck caps are still being made ? I've searched online and can't find anything . many years ago I had a plastic cap on a 1/2 ton chevy 8' bed . I liked it . it looked like a fiberglass cap , but weighed like an aluminum one . back then I could put it...

wow , had to of touched both battery terminals . this could have been bad , happy to hear everyone's OK . brings to mind the Remington Etronx system . this is a good reminder to never store powder in a heavy duty , sealed , type of locker . for safety it needs a weak burst panel...

+1 , I think the mandrel is the way to go .

one of the guys I shot long range with bought some custom ammo to try . if I remember right the brand was "spark ammo" I don't remember much about it .

tough choice to make, good luck on this . I've seen both of these on my Parents . years ago my Mom fell on ice and broke her arm , it would not heal . after a while the DR , wanted to try a "ting unit " to try to get the bones to heal . it did work , but it did take time . My Dad ...

I was giving blame to the coyote , just because he had to poop . makes me wonder if he was coming in to the sounds of the ruckus . I'd have liked to seen this happen . killing a porcupine without getting nailed by the quills would be something to see . this is about 1/4 - 1/2 mile...

welcome to the forum . lots of good guys hang out here sharing their experiences . I've hunted all over taking whitetails ,caribou , elk , and moose with my 7mm REm Mag . I've never felt like I needed more . for hunting whitetails , I tend to stay with the more frangible bullets . I...

I've seen pics , where guys have built a raised box of sorts , to set the beam scale on . eye alignment is important .

I take Sally everyday for a morning walk . somedays it's an hour other days it's 6 or so . last couple days I found things that might be of interest to you guys . yesterday we found our first scrapes of the season . this piece of two track was all scraped up last year . I'm going to say...
