Who's getting ready?
« on: July 28, 2015, 07:08:05 AM »
Holy Smokes July is shot and August will blow by us.
Who's getting ready for trapping or calling?
I have a ton of stuff to do, but got my wax dirt made, dried grass clippings, have a few bales of timothy, most of my traps dyed and waxed & I've touched base with some land owners.
Shot the rifles at the range, then went Groundhog hunting that day.

I made up some chain stakes and have to weld S-hooks closed, finish up drying dirt this week, dye and wax rest of traps one of these days plus a 100 other things to do.

Rifles and shotgun are are ready. Adjusted the accutrigger down to 2 lbs on the savage. Installed the light mounts on the guns and went thru all the gear and checked to make sure everything was working properly. Ordered a few little things that needed replaced before the "Mad" rush of everyone else happens. I've done some shooting of the bow also. The guns will get their zero checked when this darn hot and humid weather cools down. I'm over it! Can't wait for the cool colors of fall!

Goose, take a look at the Redfield line.  Just lucked into a Rem600 Mohawk in .308 and put a new Redfield Revolution 4-12x40 on it.

Red field was bought out by Leupold.   You get Leupold glass for Redfield prices.

Jerry... Dutch is only carrying Dukes but will order Victors... I was surprised he didn't have the setters for the 650's on hand... got them through fnt, no way to set them easily without the setters...

I'm ready well really not. But my brother I did end up getting coyote this last week and crippling another one that we could not find. So yeah I'm ready but not really.
For a brief moment I could hear nature through all the noise.

Good stuff, right there. Good for you.

Rockfish, Dutch has MB's ahoy in his shop.
He has been to a few rendezvous' lately and selling, so he probably will restock soon.
Saturday, Sept. 19th, Dutch has 'customer appreciation day' at his Lake property. He calls it 'Dutch Day'. Free Food, drinks and demos. Always a good time.
Dutch is 75 years old and still going.
