re: Bought back my Marlin .35 today
Posted by djs017 on 2/4/24 at 11:21 pm
I got lucky several (or more) years ago and found a deal on the hornady leverevolution in 35 rem and bought all I could get. It’s one of my favorite hunting rounds so I’ve slowly been running through it. Always said if I saw a decent price on any more I would stock up again, but due to prices I have...

re: Furthest distance to tow a boat
Posted by djs017 on 12/19/23 at 12:10 am
We towed my buddy’s 28’ center console about 1000 miles to the keys with a 1/2 ton. There was lots of prep for potential issues but luckily didn’t have any trouble. Took over 20 hours. 6 days later we hauled it back. Cost was about break even vs. renting a boat there. Was not fun especially with und...
re: Best ATV value
Posted by djs017 on 11/15/23 at 10:32 pm
I don’t know much about the newer models, but I’ve had a Yamaha Kodiak 450 (2003) and now Grizzly 700 (2008) and they have been terrific. I don’t abuse them but also don’t baby them or keep up with maintenance like I should. If I ever upgrade I’ll probably be looking at another Yamaha. They never le...
re: Eagle Rock Loop in Arky
Posted by djs017 on 11/15/23 at 10:23 pm
Did the loop about 13 years ago (give or take a few years). It was right after some terrible flooding had ruined the camping area. We were inexperienced and over estimated our abilities. We packed way too heavy and set out just before dark and only made it about a mile on Friday night before setting...

re: Just Got Back from a Frogging Trip
Posted by djs017 on 8/28/23 at 12:21 am
I have been using the VTS Frog for 3 years and have been happy with it. Battery lasts all night and is plenty bright. I never use my hard hat style wired light anymore. I also had the VTS 5 watt but the beam was too narrow in my opinion. It hardly ever got used and crapped out on me after 2 years. ...
re: Change something on your existing boat

First choice would be to trade my 20’ Reno for a Ranger 2660. Second choice would be to replace the rotten wood in Reno to composite. Third choice is swap 115 opti for 140 zuk ...

re: 35 Remington owners
Posted by djs017 on 7/18/23 at 10:51 pm
I have the CVA scout and Marlin 336 in 35 rem. I hunt with them way more than I do any other rifles. Great round when shot distance is limited. I love both of mine. ...
re: How do pellet grill’s compare to charcoal pits?
Posted by djs017 on 7/6/23 at 12:02 am
Cooking at home I use my pellet grill, cooking for a crowd I use a wood burning smoker. The pellet grill is 10x easier and results are similar. ...
re: Snake ID. King snake of some kind? Family member took pic while out jogging.
Posted by djs017 on 5/17/23 at 9:35 pm
So if I observe a king snake near the boundary of the speckled and black home ranges, would it be safe to identify it based solely on what side of the river I am on (assuming I am not much South of Baton Rouge)? Because I have seen snakes my entire life that I called a speckled, but I live East of t...

re: WTF is up with Boots?
Posted by djs017 on 10/8/22 at 11:27 am
I work for a large utility company and we have online accounts with clothing allotments pre-loaded every year. We probably order 10,000 boots every year and can’t find manufacturers or distributors to provide boots right now. It’s like there just aren’t any boots out there. ...

Had my big bend for about 5 months now. We really enjoy it. No issues after 8,000 miles. Haven’t really done any off-roading other than turn rows and dirt roads. It’s fu...
re: PSA has Norma .308 150gr softpoints for $16.99

I kept getting an error message when I tried to check out last night on my phone. Couldn’t get the order to go through. Tried multiple times and kept getting an error message. Tried again this morning after the price dropped $1 and order went through just fine. A few hours later I checked my account...
re: Stihl MS 271 farm boss opinions
Posted by djs017 on 7/11/22 at 8:19 pm
I have the 271 and it’s been a great saw. Put it through its paces after Ida and have no complaints. Mine has a 20” bar and enough power to pull it pretty well. But as mentioned above, the 261 is the goat. It’s more expensive, but if I was using mine more than 5-7 times a year, I would spend the ext...

I’m expecting to take delivery of mine in the next 5 days. Placed my reservation on 7/14/2020 and still haven’t received it. Pretty pumped about finally getting it. Waiting has been a bummer but I’m locked in to pay MsRP so I guess it was worth it. I need to go back and look at trim models because I...
‘Swollen lug nuts’ 2017 F-150
Posted by djs017 on 3/17/22 at 10:59 pm
Anybody have issues with lug nuts on their F-150?
It’s finally time to change brake pads and the correct size socket (or breaker bar that came with truck) won’t fit on the lug nuts. They look beat up and deformed, so I assumed it was from dealership using impact during tire rotation. I called the ...
re: Kisatchie Wild Horses

Was camping in Kisatchie several years ago and was scared shitless when a bunch of horses came through the woods toward camp. It was the middle of the night and I didn’t know about the horse situation. Just knew there was some big dang animals nearby. I was telling friends about it the next day and ...
