YoLink is great. Run lithium batteries in the sensor units.

re: .350 Legend for deer

Posted by Cypressknee on 11/23/25 at 11:47 am to GREENHEAD22

I got my son a CVA Scout Takedown 350 Legend last Christmas when he was 7yo. Leupold freedom 4-12x50 with a 36M on it shooting 170gr Barnes. Great combo! Light, short, no recoil etc. He’s taken hogs and a doe with it thus far with great results.

Also, I agree on primitive season being a joke but he’ll be able to use it to primitive hunt when he’s older, too.

re: Home Depot BOGO deals on Milwaukee power tools

Posted by Cypressknee on 11/12/25 at 11:18 am to Clames

I check their daily deals when I think about it. You can get some crazy deals if you check it daily on all kind of different items. Free shipping to your house typically also. In fact power tools are on sale today and blow the bogo deal out the water.

My Dad always did chains with turn buckles. I had to chisel a few out for him over the years. As previously said they will absolutely grow into the tree if not adjusted every other year or so.

Work Sharp precision elite with the diamond stones.

I like that one, new to me. Similar to Lansky but seems more user friendly. I loved my lansky kit but it’s not quick. Lost it got a Gatco kit, copy of lansky and still have it.

Got a Warthog V-sharp A4 to speed things up last season and it’s out of adjustment since coming out the box so I put it aside. Need to adjust it or get rid of it. I’ve seen them work well but won’t put as good or an edge as a Lansky style sharpener.

I gave up free handing with a stone. Could never nail it.

The taper on the barrel is likely too small to be threaded unfortunately.

They then thread it to 1/2”-28. After, they install an adapter to 5/8”-24. I had that done on one of mine with zero issues. Might’ve added 3/16” of extra length.

Brand of the frame doesn’t matter long as you have a Honda GX motor and Cat pump.

Side note… A lot of pump failures are caused from letting the unit idle too long. Mfg’s recommend no longer than 1min. Pump will over heat without flow.

Got that right!

They got into my pond, came from the over flow ditch going towards the road. Can go pull 40+ out a night and not see a difference. Knock down eggs weekly. Not slowing down. Called LSU and they don’t have anything figured out for them yet. Someone told me copper sulphate will kill them but haven’t tried it yet.

Depends on the brand you’re interested in. I was in shooters last week, they had Matthews and PSE. I know Bayouland has Matthews and Hoyt (maybe more). St. Landry has Elite for sure. I prefer to use Bayouland and St. Landry but everyone has their opinion.

A friend had the bayou classic 4gal and told me to get the 2.5gal model if I got one. Picked up a used one like new for cheap (2.5gal) and love it. You do have to watch the temp but it’s not terrible. Plan to use it tonight.
