I use an old leather belt. Cut it to length, run the screw through the leather then into the holes already there and call it a day.

I’ve done this with 100% success. You don’t need to run it the whole length though. A couple 3-4” pieces works just as good

While I get your point, unless you're brand new here you probably realize that dog hunting is not a popular subject here.

I think you are overstating this. The truth is there are a lot of people everywhere who hate dog hunters because they’d rather sit in a box stand with a heater and $1,500 in Sitka overlooking a food plot and a corn feeder posting on TD and surfing Facebook waiting on a deer they gave a name in August and only have night time pictures of. Then they shoot a “cull buck” they’ve passed on 6 times (he wasn’t a cull until January btw) and a doe later in the year and blame the fact they never saw “The Wide 10”, “Gladiator”, or “The Kicker 9” on 4 dogs that ran across “their property” (which they lease from Weyerhaeuser) for 20 minutes in December.

I probably have 30 of them in various sizes. Every year my mother and mother in law ask me what I want for Christmas. This is what I ask for.

But the biggest reason it was a dumbass shot is he is on 33 acres. You gut shoot a deer on 33 acres and it’s almost guaranteed that deer is running to your neighbors property, and by neighbors I mean it could be running through 5 neighbors properties.

I don’t know the guy, and from watching that video there are a lot of things he did/said that make me cringe. But in regard to this statement about being a dumbass for hunting on 33 acres, how far from a property line are you suggesting everyone hunt? If you have 1,000 acres, are you suggesting only hunt in the center just in case a deer runs towards a property line?

What about killing them from a ground blind in a chufa patch while fanning?

That’s extra gay. Like a MMM three way gay

I put one in my house during a remodel. I won’t have another house without one. I don’t have to run my central heat ever.

I bought one rated to heat an area slightly smaller than my house. Glad I did.

As someone said, your indoor pipe gives off a lot of heat. When mine is rolling the stove is 700-750 degrees and then I have 6’ of pipe that’s 200-300 degrees. That’s a lot of surface area heating. Couple that with a good blower/fan, and it keeps the place warm.

Stove pipe is expensive. Find the stove you want and download the installation manual. It will have specifics on chimney configuration, setbacks from combustible materials, etc.

If you install one, clean the pipe every 2 years at least. If you don’t want to do it yourself hire a chimney sweep. It’s scary how much can build up in the pipe in just 2 years.

already have plenty excuses on why not to hunt during warm temperatures.

I’ve seen them in the spring when morning temps were around freezing.

Talk to your taxidermist. You can cut the fan and fold it up into a really small box and freeze them ship overnight. Just gotta cut it right. Your taxidermist can show you.

You had the safety off and a round in the chamber when not aiming at something you intended to destroy. Can’t really trust any other part of your statement given these facts.

Heck yeah. Take that boy everywhere. Even if he doesn’t catch a redfish it’s worth taking him. I’ve caught thousands of fish and one my favorite ones was a dang stingray I caught with my dad when I was 6. Thought my rod was going to break and I was scared I was going to fall out of the boat. Momma still has a picture of it on the wall.

There’s a guy in Walker that only works on Toyotas. Near the corner of burgess rd and 190. I brought my truck there once for something and he was quick and reasonable. He has strange hours though. Only works a couple days a week I think.
