For those who may interested in train simulators, Microsoft Train Simulator is very hard to get. There are others such a Railworks, Rail Simulator, Trainz. A visit to Trainsim.com will reveal where...
We are contemplating replacing our window air conditioners with split units. Anyone have any experience with these types? They don't seem hard to install
It could be a mud swallow, bit I am not sure how much they eat seed, ususally getting bugs on the wing. It is bright blue on the back with orange breast here in NJ
We have a 2000 Subaru Forester that has had the right rear wheel bearing replaced twice at 83,000 and 102,000 miles. The bearing started making noise at 30,000 miles, but I thought it was just drive...
When my neighbor and I had problems with a certain deer "club" trespassing we had both the State Police and Fish and Game out here. Hands down, if you want to prosecute, go with Fish and Game. Not...
Many would object to taking young deer, however the natural order of predation is fawns, bucks, yearling does, and, finally matriarch does. It is only us with our antler measuring minds that screw up...
20 years is not enough. He shot at the moose, knowing it was illegal, and with his wife and kids in the car yet. He should never be allowed to hunt again, or own a firearm. I do not hunt illegally,so...
Many things can cause dirty water coming from a water softener. The amount of rainfall affects well water, the more rain the more dilution, less rain, the higher concentration of suspended solids....
Anyone over 50 would suffice. The only over 50 leage I know of is in Florida and I am in New Jersey. I play in an over 35 league and can barely keep up. Hockey, like huntin, fishin, and farmin, gets...
I play recreational ice hockey and my hand -eye coordination has improved considerably since I began swatting carpenter bees out of the air with an old hockey stick. I've gotten so good at that there...
24 inches above the stovetop is ok, or at your eye level so you can easily read it. The important thing is that you keep the flue gas temperature high enough (230- 450F)to prevent creosote...
I forgot. When determining where to place food plots, consider the prevailing wind direction if you intend to hunt over them and insure you have at least one or two places to hunt them in any wind...
You need a mix of crops for year round feeding. I like perrenials such as birdsfoot trefoil and Mossyoak Biologic Perrenial Blend. The trefoil is a warm weather crop which is invasive but deer will...
Are there any older hockey players here?
After the stove is installed get a wood stove thermometer and install it in the flue pipe above the stove. The ideal temp range to minimize creosote deposits is 230 to 460 deg F. Adjusting the...
Pellets are nutritional and a better food than say corn, which has much sugar in it and little else. Pellets are expensive compared to corn. We use corn for an attractant and alfalfa cubes for...
My Stihl starts every time,has low vibration and cuts like dream. The other day I watched my neighbor abuse his Homelite on some swamp maple, about the easiest wood to cut. As one person here pointd...
Here in New Jersey we have liberal seasons and we still have deer problems. I can legally kill over one 100 deer a year. The deer situation is made worse by the incessant development. I have dragged...
There is a difference between food plots and direct feeding. Deer browse on food plots nipping a little of each plant, then moving on. Direct feeding in one place concentrates pathogens from feces...
I am in shotgun country here in New Jersey, use a 20 ga Mossberg pump gun that groups at 1 /1/4 inches at fifty yards using Lightfields 2 3/4 sabots off a bench rest. The first shot from a clean...
I dabble with Microsoft Trainsimulator (MSTS), which is available at ten bucks from Atari versus the fifty M-soft got for it. Trainsim.com has tons of loco's, rolling stock, routes downloadable for...
I got one of the manual 10 ton splitters for building up upper body strength for hockey. That is all I need since I burn mostly swamp maple. I had trouble with it until I drained out the jack oil,...
I have birdsfoot trefoil ( invasive) for summer range, and 15 foot strips of Mossy Oak Biologic Perennial mix for winter feeding. I limed with 40 lb bags at a rate of 4 ton/acre ( just on the strips...
Moving the feeder is good idea, not to just get them closer , but chronic wasting disease is increasing in the US, and can spread by deer feeding in the same area repeatedly. While I have two...
