[Hedgerow]

IDK..

It's where Dakota Wesleyan University is.

Recruiting trip?

 

[Hedgerow]

Recruiting trip?

Yes..

Coach mentioned track and football. Since then, Levi's been wanting to go see it I guess.

Meh...

 

[Workshop]

I worked on a custom cutting crew back in 1976 and worked in South and North Dakota.
Nothing up there to hide behind to get out of the wind. Except a barb wire fence.
Don't know about now, but nothing then.
Nothing.
Nada.

Any thoughts on a Marlin 30-30 lever action rifle? They can be had much cheaper than a Winchester.

Killed bunches of deer with one

I set my scope 3 inches high at a 100
It gets me out to about 200 after that its a irresponsible hail Mary
I never put the scope over 3 to 4x

There is a big Cabela's in Mitchell if you are interested. IIRC, there is a gun collection there that is quite impressive. It's a good place to buy an out of state license to blast a few pheasant too.

You got that right, the land of nothing. I went on a pheasant hunt there. While we were there, we went to a ranch to potentially purchase cattle. The rancher said he was 60 miles from a real grocery store. Fuuuuuuuuug that nonsense. How would you like to drive to Joplin to get a gallon of milk and forget the eggs?

 

[Hinerman]

Yes..

I thought he learned his lesson about football.

Sam texted me earlier, Muskogee High School is on lockdown, as a precaution. The police were in a high speed chase, about 1/4 mile from the HS, the suspected criminal (armed I might add) ditches his car and takes off running in the area of the HS. The Muskogee PD cannot find the jack wagon so they locked the school down as a precaution.

You raise your own chickens silly.

Well...

You'd only do it once..

But it's a double scholarship Thomas..
But it sounds soooo glorious Thomas...
So many birds to shoot Thomas...

Pffftttt....

No kidding. I guess you raise everything possible: pigs, dairy cows, make your own butter, make your own bread, raise your own vegetables. I'd starve to death or eat lots of beef and drink lots of water.

Is it even possible to raise chickens in SD? You're going to need a heated barn to do it, or some mighty hardy chickens?

 

[Hinerman]

Except I wouldn't...

Me too. I could not be in law enforcement...too many cameras, not enough patience, and too little restraint.

Yes the corn palace is in Mitchell

If I'm doing chores up there every day, It's gonna be in a barn of some sorts.
