    Survey Takers

    If I dont recognized the number. I won't answer it. At night I put my phone in a different room so I dont hear it. I block all unknown or numbers I dont recognize. They have technology now that sometimes a number will come up on my phone as a local business like a trucking company or a purebred...

    Ranching! Is it a living or a dying?

    Its hard to get back into it. Takes years to build up a good herd. Hard to get into it in the first place. Ive got everything I want except a good woman. Wont sell anything because I figure I can't replace it. Example old trucks,tools,guns,etc. I could buy new stuff but I wouldn't be as happy...

    Ranching! Is it a living or a dying?

    I've watched people die slow horrible deaths from cancer. They will only give them so much pain killer because if they give them more it will kill them. Its worse than i hope you can Imagine. Alzheimer's and dementia can be a nightmare for everyone evolved. People think sometimes that things...

    Ranching! Is it a living or a dying?

    Its not about pride. I can't just sit and do nothing. A little TV is good but I can't just watch it all day. I pray,study the word and go to Church but I can't do that 24 hours a day. I need something to work at. Help others at. Have something to talk about. I'm in quite a bit of pain. Its...

    Ranching! Is it a living or a dying?

    I used to rent land from an old guy in his late eighties. He sold farm and ranch real estate for a living. Team roped for fun. He was always involved with cows all his life. He always had some cows and equipment all his life. His herd size kind of depended on how much land he owned because he...

    Mystery P-51 Pilot

    Cool, I didn't know that about Jimmy Stewart. I remember him from that Winchester 73 movie but I didn't know he was a real deal type of guy. Sometimes with famous people the less you really know about them the better.

    444 marlin black powder

    MC that is such a pretty rifle.Its everthing about older style rifles like yours. Its beautiful. The lines, the balance, the way they hang when you bring them up to your shoulder. I bet the set trigger is sweet as can be. Lots of character and style there.

    444 marlin black powder

    I'm just going by memory here and my memory isn't that great. I used to be right into guns years ago but then I really didn't have the time. Used and carried them but didn't play or practice much. But I used to do a lot with original black powder cartridge guns years ago. Haha thats why I have...

    What is an annoyance that Ranchers have to deal with everyday?

    Stuff on my place doesn't really bother me much. Remember that old Wilf Carter song "You'll get used to it"? Scares me that I can't do as much as I want to do physically. I'm not leaving my place alive if I can help it. I need my cows ,horses. I can't leave here.

    444 marlin black powder

    I've got a marlin 444 .Its first year production. I think 1964. Bought it from a federal park warden years ago when I was a kid. He bought it from a provincial game warden who took it from some elk poachers in a different province and then sold it to him in Ontario at a game warden convention...

    What's the weather like at your place?

    Haha I wasn't thinking about the chasing away women part. I was hauling water though through this to with no heater in my truck. My home made tiger torch would work unless I let the tip of the torch go down below the hose or the tank I'm not sure which and then it was like a cross between a bomb...

    Master's student researching ranchers. Help me help ranchers

    I tend not to go to things in my area because it feels like they only want input from big shots or if its the government or utility companies putting something on then they definitely dont want any input because everything is already decided before the meeting.

    What's the weather like at your place?

    Its been between _20 and minus 35 for weeks now. With the wind chill it would be more like minus 40 or 50. One day it warmed up to minus 5 and the wind blew like crazy. Filled my corrals up with a glacier. The 12 by 5 foot picture window in my living room broke. The sparrows dropped dead from...
