    Deadwall for Shooting Range

    Make sure to get relatively clean fill for a berm. Rocks are no bueno and can cause unpredictable ricochets.

    What do ppl do for rattlesnakes on farms?

    If you genuinely think we're sliding into societal collapse, why on Earth would you want to avoid buying a gun?

    Duck ripped out nail?

    One of my ducks ripped out that same nail on both feet. A couple days of dabbing with Neosporin and she was all better. The nails are back now

    Ducks that don't Die Horribly?

    I love coming on here to read up on all the phenomenal information people share. But sometimes its a little depressing just how many posts are about ducks being torn to shreds by predators or wasting away from mystery disease. Just thought it would be nice to hear some stories from people who's...

    A solution to gang raping drakes?

    I might pay 50$ or so per season. But that's just 'cause my drake happens to be my favorite duck.

    Ground Cover that can Survive Ducks?

    Awesome, thank you! We've fed them some that grew in our garden as weeds, so I hadn't even considered it. But it definitely wasn't their favorite, so hopefully this is the ticket.

    Ground Cover that can Survive Ducks?

    Is there any kind of ground cover I could plant that my ducks won't destroy? I have 5 Khakis that inhabit a 12'x28' netted run most of the time. There was a lot of nice clover in there initially, some young strawberry plants, some mullein, and a thimbleberry bush. The only thing left is the...

    The Gun Thread

    The reason bullet makers don't make more bullets designed with subsonic performance in mind is because shooting subsonic rifles is an incredibly niche market. Its becoming more and more popular, but its still largely a very small group of people shooting suppressed subsonic rifles, and an even...

    The Gun Thread

    Excellent! Nice shooting! Hunting fox squirrels is one of the things I miss most about Ohio. Pain in the butt to skin, but a lot more meat for the trouble compared to a red squirrel. But the trade off is now getting to hunt grouse so it works out in the end. It looks like your aim is good enough...

    Not Laying Ducks Eating Oyster Shell?

    My Khakis (3 hen, 2 drake, all 6 months old) have had free access to oyster shell for a couple months now but hadn't been touching it. Within the past week or so, I have started finding some at the bottom of their water bucket every day, so I can only assume they're eating it. They still haven't...
