I don't see how these iron workers do this without messin in their britches. Makes my stomach flip flop just watching. Here's to you iron workers and anyone e...

They're both scheduled to be open for business towards the end of this year or the first of next year. One is going to be in Tennessee and one is going to be in Virginia, just a few miles apart from each other (Bristol, Va./Tn.) Since I've never shopped at either, other than catalog purchases, are...

| How long do sterile grass carp live? - BFIV on 4/19/13 at 7:23 am
About 10 years ago, I put two of these grass carp in the grandkids' pond. They were about 8 inches long when I stocked them. I think snappers got one of em right off the bat, but the other one got up to about 30 inches long and did a good job of keeping the weeds and grass under control. Grandkids...

I use a solar powered electric fence around my garden...with a special "twist". I stretch two strands of electric fence wire around the garden (first wire about 15 inches off the ground with the second about 30 inches off the ground). Nothing special about this arrangement because it won't keep the...

| Snake handling minister loses his rattlesnakes... - BFIV on 2/13/13 at 8:51 pm
Just saw this article in a local newspaper. I didn't know it was illegal to transport rattlesnakes or copperheads in Tennessee. I still contend that if The Good Lord had intended for us to pick up snakes, He woulda put a handle on em, but He didn't.

Today, in Minnesota, President Obama is quoted as saying, "No law or set of laws can keep our children completely safe, but if there's even one thing we can do, if there's just one life we can save, we've got an obligation to try."
Ok, we haven't tried putting an armed SRO in each and every schoo...

Don't know if this is posted elsewhere or not? These PETA idiots really tick me off.

I'm old school and have always been told to never dry fire any weapon unless you had a spent cartridge in the chamber for the firing pin to hit. Now my question is: When you store any weapon for a LONG time, is it better to dry fire the weapon and leave it that way? The reason being that the firi...

Here in Virginia, we are required to either check the deer at any VDGF authorized check station or call it in at a toll free number. Lots of deer up here never get checked in at all because of the toll free number. I used to hunt a lot in Alabama and they didn't even require you to check in a deer,...
