    Tick collars for people

    By the way, I caught something here I did not see initially...........you're talking about pyrethrin, not permethrin, very similar but not the same thing. Pyrethrin breaks down when exposed to sunlight or water. You want Permethrin, the active ingredient in Freedom spot on 45. If you read up...

    Tick collars for people

    Lots of things like that you can use that are the same thing but way more cost effective. For at least 20 yrs I've been worming dogs with Ivermectin which is the active ingredient in a lot of the good and expensive heartworm wormers marketed by vets. I buy the 1% injectable for cattle and...

    Tick collars for people

    Yepper. I believe my last packet was purchased at Tractor Supply. If I remember right back in the day I followed the instructions on the Sawyers tick repellent spray bottle for how I applied it to clothing. Regardless, I mist my shirt and pants I'll be using until they are decently damp, but...

    Trespassers

    Yeah, agree, you are in a different circumstance without being around to monitor it and somebody using the opportunity to be doing illegal behavior. Best to let the GW's figure out who.

    Trespassers

    I guess for the most part I am of a different mindset or live in a different area. I understand not putting up with any type of nefarious behavior, but there is 6.5 acres of woods on the ridge behind my house that technically is still my Dad's, but it's not posted and as long as I have anything...

    Tick collars for people

    Looks like they work, although I'd want to know what the active ingredient in them are. Personally I use Permethrin. It's been in use since about 1990 for people and works, at least on ticks. For yrs I've been buying Freedom Spot on 45 to put on my dogs. I buy the product marketed for...

    Sale at Optics Planet

    I don't know, I'd likely give them another whirl if I ever see another real deal on something I need or can use. If it were not for some comments on here I wouldn't know anything different. I ordered Monday and it was sitting on my porch today. With the discount those PH bullets cost me $24.11...

    At the range, with the Marlin 1895

    Good stuff Guy. Always fun to do some shooting and that part of life just wouldn't seem right without at least one of the lever rifles of some sort in the mix.

    Sale at Optics Planet

    So just an update on this. I don't remember what time I put the order in, but at noon yesterday I got an email of the order confirmation. At 1:00 I got an email stating the order was being processed. At 8:00 last evening I got an email stating the order is on its way with a UPS tracking...

    Sale at Optics Planet

    My email shows order processed for the amount I ordered. I never done business with them before that I recall? If you ordered any of the Sierra 150's that could've been my fault. I got a pile at that price. If anything doesn't go through or there's a hold up beyond normal with my order and...

    Sale at Optics Planet

    Yep, I got a stash of them. Good bullets, especially at that price and with the discount on top of it. Also I noticed Natchez has no hazmat fee today and tomorrow. I don't need anything involving hazmat at today's prices, but the offer is there, and they have primers........just thought I'd...

I got a good stash of them at that, and if you apply for email sign up and apply that coupon you get another 9% off your order...

    What do you keep your "stuff" in?

    There's still some good ones out there. I was looking at a nice Belgium made handle just today. Those Belgium's made some good handles back in the day. (y):D

    Biden’s bullet ban

    Wait until the parking garages start collapsing. I read where the F150 EV weighs 1600 lbs more than it's gas counterpart. The EV Hummer I read weighs 9,060 lbs! Small SUV's like the Volvo XC 40 Recharge weigh 1000 lbs more than the gas powered XC 40. The vehicles are the same size as their...

    What do you keep your "stuff" in?

    I've taken up collecting axe handles. I have a carousel type holder that has a heavy bearing in the bottom that allows it to spin. Holds 16 axe handles upright and is handy because it's small in diameter but makes good use of its space. Also have a cabinet that holds 11 handles. Some of my axe...

    Outrageous Prices

    Whew!! Couple months back I picked up some H1000 for a member on here, 3 lbs if I remember correctly. Wasn't old price cheap, but nothing close to that! Without digging the slip out I believe it was $45.50 per lb tax included out the door. We traded powder for bullets. He got powder he...

    Firewood and wood heat

    Goodman. But what makes it work is the hybrid system. I don't think I'd like it as a pure heat pump. They're pretty efficient from around mid 30's temps on up, but when it's cold they run constantly. My existing system was a hot water boiler, but it just circulated hot water to a coil in a...

    That's a handy old truck. (y) I'd have all kinds of uses for that.
