    Feral Hog Device

    Great post. Here's my take as an licensed master electrician. As a point of reference, its takes about 800ma (0.8 amps) at 120 volts and 60hz across the heat muscle of a human to cause Ventricular fibrillation and cardiac arrest. Typically it takes considerable more potential than that to...

    cowboy hats Q

    bought a Atwood "Hereford long Oval" hat some years back, I think its a palm leaf construction. Went to use it the other day and after wearing it a while I noticed that the hat band inside was flaking off and sticking to my forehead because it had rotted out. I thought it was a pretty good hat...

    Dang it Kathie, I was hoping you'd lend some inspiration to the Oregon side of my plan. The AZ half is just to appease my wife! Although I do love MLB. I am a little surprised by some of the negativity I'm getting from Harney residents. When I talked to the local extension agent about this some...

    cattlemen's associations

    In doing some research I happened to compare the "Texas SW Cattle Raisers Association" and the "Oregon Cattlemen's Association" the mission statements for each organization jumped right out at me when I read the two back to back. Just wondering if anyone else found this curious. TSWCRA mission...

    Yep live in the valley now, spent time over around the refuge and down around Fields during the fall hunting seasons and took a couple of vacations in the spring staying at FG and Diamond.

    This is a repost from the begginers board just in case it was missed over there- Well, I make this post somewhat sheepishly as over the months I have been seeking information regarding central Texas as I have been looking at relocating there. Unfortunately I have been unsuccessful in that effort...

    I am buying some land near Abilene Texas (bout 100 acres) that is mostly Coastal bermuda. The place is looking alright with the rain it got a couple weeks back. Would like to turn out one horse onto the place and let her free roam until spring when I can get back (currently live outside the...

    Road building on sand

    Well the NRCS describes it as a Chaney-Demona series soil, 0-25 inches light brown-pale brown fine sand. It currently is growing some type of Bermuda grass I'm told. Seems relatively stable to drive on the grass but there are some areas where it appears that due to traffic corners and/or wind...

    Road building on sand

    Looking at a piece of property near Cross Plains Texas that has very sandy soil. I will need to make a long driveway (1/2 mile approx) Would like opinions on materials to use (gravel, caliche, grass turf) for a all weather surface for a driveway. Crushed rock would seem to me to just get pushed...
