      Should I call the DNR ?

      I was out today for a short walk in a small woods in central Indiana looking for mushrooms. To my surprise I ran across two bird carcasses. My initial thought was that they were turkey buzzards. Closer inspection revealed two gobblers. Both had the beards, lower legs (for the spurs), and the...

      Selling archery "stuff"

      At one time I was HUGE into archery - indoor, outdoor, and 3D. Those days are past. As a result I have a bunch of archery stuff I should sell. Nothing really expensive, but things like bow press, arrow fletching jigs, etc. Anyone know of an archery website that has a for sale section ? TIA

      Why does carpet stretch ?

      I know this is WAY off topic but. . . . . . . . . . . . I have carpet in one of our little used bedrooms (my kids are grown and gone). It has stretched and now shows "wrinkles" throughout the room. The carpet is probably at least 15 years old. The only thing I can think of that has changed...

      When/Where to move feeder for deer season ?

      I've had a deer feeder filled with corn over the winter and into the summer in my hunting area. Archery deer season opens October 1st in Indiana. Realizing my feeder must be taken down/removed 30 days in advance I pulled it from the woods today. The raccoons will undoubtedly remove the...

      Cell phone problem

      I have an Apple iPhone. Today when I made a phone call it was automatically disconnected after 20 seconds. Same thing occurs when someone calls me. Phone call goes thru and 20 seconds later I'm disconnected. I have no clue what happened. I don't think I changed anything. Anyone ever have...

      WTS: 9 One lb bottles of 800X for sale/trade

      I've ended up with 9 pounds of 800X. I had thought about using it for light 12 and 20 ga loads but the recipes aren't promising so . . . . . . . . maybe someone else can put it to good use. I am in Boone County just north of I-465. Must be face to face transaction as I can't ship hazardous...

      Cellular trail cam

      I am reasonably certain that drones are not legal for deer hunting. However, I've been having a great time with my cellular capable trail cam. It transmits the pics to my iPhone and iPad in real time. They tell me when the deer are present. Wondering if the use of these are legal during deer...

      What to plant for next year's deer season ?

      A friend of mine owns 65 acres that are woods, power line (think transmission size), and creek bottom. We've killed some pretty decent deer on the property over the years. We've never really made an attempt to draw deer in with a planted crop and baiting is obviously illegal. We also visually...

      Pumpkins (?)

      You can’t spread out shelled corn or combined soy beans, can’t put out a salt or mineral block or. . . . . . Yet you can plant a food plot of - corn, soybeans, turnips, biologic, clover, etc. Will the DNR, if they find it, cite me for throwing pumpkins out on the ground around my stand. What...

      Need help wiring an advertising clock

      Okay, this is about as off topic as it can get. I have a Kendall Oil advertising clock that hung in my dad’s garage/service station back in the 50’s and 60’s. The clock ran fine for several years but no longer works - neither the clock mechanism nor the fluorescent light. I tried buying...

      I just was made aware that law enforcement in Boone County are planning a DUI checkpoint event in the next few days. The article stated that, based on a decision by the Indiana Supreme Court, when stopped a driver is REQUIRED to provide name, address, and DOB or provide their drivers license...

      Law enforcement attire (?)

      I have recently taken notice of the apparent general uniform requirements for law enforcement - regardless of organization. Local, county, state, etc. What now seems to be standard issue is: shirt, pants, military style jump boots, protective vest, radio, firearm, taser, handcuffs, minimum...

      Anyone with experience with a mini split unit ?

      I am thinking about putting a mini split unit in my workshop. It’s a 16 x 24 insulated building. I currently heat it with a 220V space heater but have no a/c. Hoping to get the best of both worlds - heating and cooling and better efficiency/less cost for the heating side. Thinking a 12,000...

      Eagle Creek motor restriction.

      First, my apologies because I’m sure there must be a thread on this on INGO. Over the past several years much has been written about the permissible size of motors that could be used on Eagle Creek Reservoir. Last I had heard during all the hoopla was that no motor larger than a 9.9 hp was...

      FBI Agent announces it’s a

      My wife is watching the FBI television series right now. I hate the show but since I’m playing on INGO and pretty much ignoring the show she can watch what she wants. (A little better than the damn game shows she watches ). However, the agents just found some dude dead in an alley. One of...

      What knife to carry ?

      Let me start by saying I know less than nothing about what things to consider for a daily “carry” knife. Would like to hear recommendations for features, brand, etc. Figure my budget could go up to $100. I‘m thinking something I could front pocket carry - say max 4” or so. Single blade...
