Food plots can be key to deer hunting

Food plots can be a key ingredient to improving one’s deer hunting recipe. Not only are they more nutritional, but they are also much more productive than feeders dispensing corn, according to wildlife biologists with the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission. Carefully designed and crafted food plots provide much more than just deer food. They may actually increase your chances of successfully harvesting a deer.

 

Cover is an additional needed ingredient, said Ralph Meeker, AGFC’s assistant deer program coordinator.

 

He explained that deer much prefer situations that have two elements – food and cover. “Deer spend a great deal of time eating and hiding from predators. When these two key elements are provided in close proximity that’s when you get the most ‘bang’ for your buck,” Meeker says. “Providing this cover may be as simple as developing the edges that surround your food plot in order to provide for edge habitat. That’s the transitional area of brush and grass that differentiates the mature timber from open spaces such as fields or food plots,” he added.

 

The usual pattern for deer is to cautiously move from the woods to find things to eat in the food plots. If the plot is ringed with an assortment of bushes and shrubs, this helps the deer to stay out of sight from assorted threatening elements, including two-legged types.

 

With a large food plot, Meeker said, a suggestion is to leave or create an island in the middle of the plot. This island can be a tree or two left when plowing for the food plot, or it can be some bushes left or planted in the middle of the food plot. This island can encourage deer to feed across the plot and to the cover of the island.

 

Persons wanting to create food plots can contact private land biologists of the AGFC for suggestions and technical information, including on-site visits. There is no cost for these services. Phone 800-364-4263 to connect with a private land biologist. Private lands biologists also have a network of partner agencies and professionals including foresters, soil conservationists, grazing specialists, and fisheries biologists, that can help with food plots and other conservation practices on private lands.

Current Arkansas deer harvest now available online

LITTLE ROCK –Deer hunters interested in studying the state’s deer harvest can now get real-time data on the season. Hunters can check the deer harvest numbers at https://dev.ark.org/gamecheck/reports.php.

 

The information is available as a result of the agency’s use of the online and telephone checking system for deer. In addition to ease of use, faster data processing and real-time data reporting, the new process has enabled the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission to analyze the deer harvest by date. According to the AGFC’s Deer Program Coordinator Cory Gray, the information will allow the agency to chart trends during the season. “It also will provide valuable details about the effects of season structure on harvest,”

 

Gray said. Gray said the information hunters are providing is invaluable to the agency. “It is critical that hunters provide us accurate data and give us all of the information requested,” he explained.

 

To provide the information over a cell phone, hunters must call from an area where a cell phone signal is strongest. “Hunters have 24 hours to check their game, so we’re asking people using a cell phone to go to a location with a signal stronger than one bar. Hunters need a good signal so their information comes through as strong as possible on the system,” Gray says. “It’s not going to work if you don’t have the signal strength,” he added.

 

As of right now, checking deer can be done in one of three ways, the call to 866-305-0808 or online atwww.agfc.com. There’s also iPhone and Android AGFC applications that are available.

 

When you’ve finished checking your game, you’ll be given a four-digit check number that must be recorded on the license. So make sure you have a pen ready. –

Which AR-15 to Buy

All right, after reading the 1000 th “I just found this site, and my friend has a Vulcan AR 15 for sale, is it a good deal” thread, I though about putting this together for the newbie. This is a compilation of a lot of the stuff I have learned from spending way too much time around here. Its also a lot of stuff I wish I had known before I started putting money into rifles. I am far from an expert, so if you see errors (in facts not opinions) please let me know. I also could use help with details on the different brands and what they offer. Please share your knowledge.

In a nutshell, "mil-spec" rifles are made based on a "Technical Data Package" which is a closely guarded secret document which belongs to Colt. This gives the specification for every part on a rifle. The TDP not only tells the specifications of the part- dimensions, materials to be used, etc, it also specifies how parts are to be tested.

For example, the standard for barrels, is that every one must fire a high pressure round, and then be MPI inspected. There are specs for testing of every part in the rifle. The spec might be for individual or batch testing. Colt and FN must have metallurgists who test samples of every batch of barrels, for example to confirm that the metal the barrel is made of is what the supplier said it is. This is true of bolts, springs, pins, etc. Every part has a specification for how it is to be tested, and all testing is documented. For example, the Crane article says that a lower receiver is inspected for 102 different points. This is all overseen by government inspectors as well, who can step in and say- "Lets see this particular rifle tested in this way" at random.

What does all this do for you? Well, lets say that "company J" forges upper receivers. One day they make 1000 upper receivers, and happen to ship 500 to FN or Colt for military rifles, and another 500 to Vulcan (just as an example). The milspec may require that a certain number of the receivers are subjected to destructive testing to confirm that the mix in the alloy was done correctly for the batch. While doing this, they find that a mistake was made, and the whole lot is rejected. Meanwhile, Vulcan- the official supplier to the Speshul Forces is busy building uppers out of their receivers. They can also advertise that they bought their uppers from the same company which supplies the military. The only difference is the quality assurance which takes place after manufacture.

What does all this come down to?

You have to decide what you want and how much you want to pay for it. Can you buy a Colt and get a lemon? Yes. Can you buy an M&A kit and get a great rifle? Yes. When you pay more for parts you are paying more for something which is MORE LIKELY to perform well. The extra you pay for the Colt makes it LESS LIKELY that you will have a problem, but does not make it impossible. The smaller amount you pay for one of the cheaper uppers means less quality control and makes it MORE LIKELY that you will have problems. If you are a contractor or SWAT cop going into dangerous places, you should spend as much as you can afford because the price of a part failure can be your life. In addition, when you pay more for higher quality raw materials, you will likely get a longer life from them. If you are intending to attend courses which teach you to shoot (we all should), or to compete in three gun competition or you like to put many hundreds of rounds downrange when you go out, you will likely start to stress your rifle more and you will probably see the benefit from the extra $ you put into your gear. To me, putting more money into quality components is getting easier and easier. When you consider that 1K of Wolf ammo is going for over $200 these days, putting an extra $200 into a rifle which will probably last the rest of your lifetime is a no brainer. That said, we don't all need Colts. Most of the companies above provide very good products which will meet the needs of most users. Buying a decent product and then spending a lot of time using it is the best way to find out if it is reliable, as well as being ready to use it if the need ever arises.

Will The United States Strike Syria?

US interventions post-Cold War

The proposed US military strike on Syria would be the latest in a long list of overseas intrusions.     While most Syrians get poorer with every day of war, Aleppo's main gun seller Abu Mohammad is doing just fine by selling firearms, including rocket-propelled grenades, ammunition and even swords."War is great business," said the northern city's only gun shop owner, as he laid several hand grenades out on a counter."I wanted to help the rebels because they had no arms or ammunition," the 39-year-old told AFP, adding that he makes an astonishing 50,000 Syrian pounds ($370) a day. Abu Mohammad opened his gun store in the rebel-held neighborhood of Fardos earlier this year after a leg injury cut short a nine-month stint battling alongside the Free Syrian Army.Several weapons are exhibited on the shop walls, including 9mm guns and AK-47 assault rifles, one of them silver-plated."They're made in Iraq and Russia, and prices range from $1,500 to $2,000, depending on the quality," said Abu Mohammad's 20-year-old son, a rebel fighter who lends a hand in the store."We also have military uniforms.

Government Still Down for the Count

Barack Obama and congressional Republican leaders are going to try to resolve their fiscal impasse.
On Friday, Mr Obama met Senate Republicans at the White House and spoke with House of Representatives speaker John Boehner by phone to negotiate on a way to get federal workers back to work.
While there have still been no specific details of what was discussed, both sides have expressed optimism on TV news shows

Government Shut Down

Democrats and Republicans were unable to resolve their differences over Obamacare and now the government is shut down.

And at a time when the economy's finally showing signs of life, that could be troubling.

Shutdowns don't come cheap. Federal agencies have to use up time, energy and resources to plan for one. Shutting down and then reopening the government also costs money. According to the Congressional Research Service, the two previous shutdowns -- in late 1995 and early 1996 -- cost the country $1.4 billion. But what will the shutdown mean for you? Will your daily life be affected?

 

 

10. Vacation all I ever wanted: Need to get away? Well, you can't. At least not to national parks. Or to national zoos. Or to national museums. They'll be closed. That's 368 National Park Service sites closed, millions of visitors turned away.

Were you thinking more along the lines of a trip to France? If you don't already have a passport, you might have to bid that adieu -- you might not get your blue book in time. The last time the government threw a hissy fit, 200,000 applications for passports went unprocessed. Tourism and airline revenues reeled.

But according to the State Department's current shutdown plan, offices will remain open because they generate enough in fees to support their operation. Any offices located in a federal building affected by the shutdown, however, may not be able to open.

9. Holiday. Celebrate: Don't go to work if you're a federal employee. You're on furlough. (Offer not valid for workers in "critical services," such as air traffic controllers, hazardous waste handlers and food inspectors.)

Do take some time to celebrate. In previous shutdowns, everyone who stayed home was paid retroactively after peace returned to Washington.

8. I won't back down: The men and women in uniform will stay on the job and be paid, according to legislation approved by Congress in the run-up to the shutdown.

Scenarios of the shutdown

7. If you drive a car, I'll tax the street: You may be thinking, "No functioning government, no need to pay taxes." Think again. The Man would continue to collect taxes. U.S. bonds would still be issued. And other essential banking functions will go on.

6. Wait a minute, Mr. Postman: You know that whole "Neither snow, nor rain, nor heat, nor gloom of night" thing? Apparently, the U.S. Postal Service works through shutdowns as well. Sorry, you won't catch a break from the junk mail. But hey, you may already be a winner!

5. I want a new drug: Oh, the irony. The Republicans still want to defund, delay or otherwise chip away at Obamacare in exchange for funding the government. But the health care act at the center of this storm would continue its implementation process during a shutdown. That's because its funds aren't dependent on the congressional budget process.

4. Pass the ammunition: Not so fast. A shutdown would affect the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives. Translation: That gun permit you wanted processed won't happen anytime soon if this goes on for a while.

3. Money (that's what I want): Well, if you own a small business and needed a loan from the government, you'll have to wait, depending on how long this lasts. If you were planning to buy a house and needed a federal loan, you'll have to wait. If you're a veteran, you might have to make a few trips to the mailbox before that check arrives.

If you're on Social Security, however, don't worry -- probably. Social Security payments were sent during the last shutdown. President Barack Obama's expected to keep workers on the payroll to process checks. But would there be enough employees to process new benefits for the newly retired?

2. Anything dirty or dingy or dusty: Oscar the Grouch is a company of one. No one loves trash. But if you live in Washington, expect it to pile up if there's a shutdown. There wouldn't be anyone to collect your garbage. Washington's budget has to be approved by Congress. No budget for the city = no trash collection. And, according to The Washington Post, D.C. produces about 500 tons of garbage each week.

1. I'm proud to be an American: Perhaps the biggest hit would be to the collective psyche. America is the largest economy in the world and a beacon for how democracy ought to work. To watch elected lawmakers engage in a high-stakes staring contest with no one willing to blink is no way to do business. A recent CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll found that 51% would blame Republicans for the shutdown. The United States has operated without a budget since 2009 and has avoided a government shutdown with last-minute deals. It's been one stomach-turning sequel after another.
