I keep looking at the auto case feeder for mine.

How close are you to a Big Tex builder? Looking for a PJ or BT but nothing around for another 4-6 months!! I found a PJ in Utah so far, road trip (with help)

None on that site TRN, thx. I called Big Tex this morning if they could find me one. They said order only, maybe march,,,,,,

Never heard of them Sean, my searches where for trailer type "deckover tilt"

Looks like I got a PJ in Utah, just a little from BigDave in SLC.

Just have Shawn build what you want....I hear that hippie can weld.


And I loaded another 500 rounds of 5.56 between conference calls today.

Can’t wait for Trump to win and the panic to be over so I can get another 100k primers

Out white tail hunting with my boy.
Seen this big bugger yesterday. They “claim” these invasive things are endangered. No they’re chasing all of our white tails away you idiots.

Anyhow. Watched him and six does for about a half hour then went to our stand. I’d put him on the 150-160 range. Picture doesn’t do justice.

Don do you run feeders out on your property to bring bucks in?

Charles I read that you do something similar? 

Is the idea to bring wildlife in closer for food source of just simple happiness having wildlife around?

Different states have different laws. Some places don’t allow you to hunt over a feeder or salt lick. I’m those cases some people plant food plots.

We can hunt over feeders although I’ve just been feeding them and not hunting them so far. I may shoot one this year.  I’m not in it for the trophy. Just the meat.

Worked most of the day on Duane's Tundra. He is installing a very nice Icon suspension system. I got to do the rear spring repack/re-spring thing. Was fun!

As Shawn and Nate inquires, I thought Duane had moved to WY... did he just buy some property out there? Lots for sell, we’ve been looking a little, but much to rich for us.

Yeah, just here. In Saskatchewan a mere 12 miles or less away they are open.
Here they call them endangered.
I call them invasive. Since they have crept in, white tails have started disappearing.

They bought a new home locally and are building another one in WY. I plan to be a regular summertime fixture in the cold location!
I think I have him about talked into building a "best buddy" suite somewhere in that new construction.

Nice Dave. Free hunts are some of the most expensive I’ve ever been on.

Knocked out another 1000 today between and during conference calls.



So the Swageit swage adapter to the 650 worked about 85 percent. I was still having to pull a few brass off the priming station and swags by hand. Even though it opens the pocket crimp there are still remnants of the crimp that create a lip that can keep the primer from sliding into the pocket. Overall much better than swaging several 1000 brass one at a time.

Oh and I found another 2000 55gr pills in my stash to load. I thought I was getting close to being done.

Edit. Just went to the mailbox and forgot I had ordered 2000 more 55gr projectiles. Guess I’ll be busy for a while.

Dave, thats why I remove the coupler when I park it. Won't stop eveyone, but slows down the bad ones good. Did it have screen in the front of the tongue? Pics seem a little diff than the ones posted by the dealer.

Ken, I can swing by and get it. New trailer will handle it fine. It may get used a few days on the way though,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,  :beercheers:

Shoot I’m 3/4 there, he isn’t a bad neighbor so that counts for a lot, not the renters on the other side who try and park in front of my RV pad driveway.  The one I keep all my trailers in, the one I just put gravel down in
I regularly have to tell them to move
