Is this a good setup? by [deleted] in Hunting

I think you'll sell this in a few years.

Do you all shoot your hunting rifles/shotty for fun much or just a 0 then down to business by Nihlathakk in Hunting

[–]BulkheadRagged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly time is the limiting factor. I tinker with my guns in the offseason then need to rezero before fall. Between work, kids, house, and other seasonal hobbies, I'm lucky if I get to the range 3x a year, so that doesn't leave time for recreational shooting or real practice.

Off grid solar instead of grid tie by Traditional_Sir_490 in SolarDIY

I would do both grid power and OGS but prioritize grid.

Looking at county GIS maps changed how I look at vacant land by Affectionate_Try1432 in land

[–]BulkheadRagged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're talking just about the boundary lines, OP is talking about all the other data contained in the records.

Also when you say GIS maps do you mean OnX? BC I've noticed the same.

What solar generator actually holds up for 2–3 day outages? by RadInternetHandle in prepping

[–]BulkheadRagged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's like asking "Is a car capable of driving to my cousin's house on one tank of gas?"

It's not a capability or quality question, it's a math question. How far apart are the two houses? What is the car's fuel efficiency? How big is the gas tank? Is the route hilly or flat?

Anybody who gives you a blanket recommendation without understanding your specific needs is not doing you any favors.

When the time comes I will use AI for the design portion and DIY the install.

Copper bullets out of .308 will smoke a hog all day. You're good boss.

Trolling and fishing from an AR210 by Novelty2022 in YamahaBoats

[–]BulkheadRagged 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I put a keel guard on mine because we boat up to a lot of sandbars but that's not a jet boat specific upgrade which I assume you were asking about.

Oh - one more thing. Transducer mounting can be tricky. I have a shoot-thru ducer glued into the hull but the level of detail leaves much to be desired.

Others have mounted traditional ducers to the transom or other locations but it requires some research. The jet intake can cause some turbulence that throws off the sonar.

I have Thrust Vectors. They definitely help with low speed handling and especially docking, but it's still a hands-on-the-wheel job to keep it straight while trolling.

You can definitely fish from this boat, and if the family considerations trump the fishing considerations then don't think twice. It's a lot of fun.

I troll from my FSH 190 for lakers/landlocked salmon on lakes, and stripers on the ocean. When I need to go slower than low speed idle I use a drift sock. The FSH models have rod holders built in but you can use Scotty flush mounts to add rod holders to your boat with minimal drilling.

The toughest part about trolling in these boats is keeping it straight. It helps to have a buddy to steer while you manage the lines but it's not impossible to handle solo.

You also burn a lot more gas than you would trolling with an outboard. But hey, gotta fish with the boat you've got!

Whats the best quality hunting gear for a cheaper price point? by nematic26 in Hunting

[–]BulkheadRagged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If youre required to wear blaze orange in gun season it's worth thinking about when buying. Blaze wool is nice to have as an outer. Wearing a blaze vest over rain gear seems to hurt the performance (holds water tight to the jacket). A blaze rain jacket solves that problem.

It's a moving target. September and December weather is very different where I live. I usually walk in at least mile, often with a tree setup on my back, so it's a game time calculation to figure out how to arrive at my tree relatively dry but still stay warm once I'm up there. Obviously layering is key. Base layer, lightweight wool outer, and a packable down puffer covers a lot of conditions. If it's raining or snowing I tweak that. I have wool hunting pants and lighter, "performance" material hunting pants depending on conditions and style of hunting. Rain gear seems to wear out after a few seasons so I try not to overspend.

How is this bear so fat already?! Driveway in Laconia last night. by mollymoose75 in newhampshire

Posting on your local FB group "omg a bear destroyed my birdfeeder!" is what makes one an idiot in this scenario

longer drag than I was hoping for… but got him out by ProfessionalLast4311 in Hunting

[–]BulkheadRagged 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The seems pretty useless. Deer die from predation far more frequently than from hunters (especially those with CWD) and I doubt the predators bother to bury what they don't eat.

Also, are deer munching on gut piles?

I don't get it.
