Groundhog Nuisance
Pool chlorine tablets in the hole work too... for awhile problem with woodchuck hole is you eliminate the immediate occupant and another takes he hole of opportunity in a month I've dug them up before with backhoe -- usually go down about 4 feet to a 2'x2'chamber -- not straight down but a wondering tunnel for 8 or 10 feet laterally every one I've ever opened up had plastic shopping bags inside as bedding -- seen that more than 3 times

So we're back to needing a separate class for a rifle permit... if you're an existing shotgun license holder without a previous rifle permit I wonder what changed their mind

Do I need crimp die for .45 ACP
be sure to check midsouth shooters supply and also natchez for the stuff you're looking for -- midway isn't the only game in town as for only spending $200 -- guess you're not getting primers, powder, or bullets you don't have to spend a fortune but $200 Is really pushing it I've been reloading since 1990 -- here is my idea of a starting setup rock chucker press -- it will never go bad, you will always have a use for it a good scale -- doesn't need to be electronic just reliable dial caliper -- once again doesn't need to be electronic -- learn to read the dial carbide 3 die set -- I prefer Redding if available but most any brand will do rcbs little dandy pistol powder measure lee hand primer case de-burring tool that's enough to get started -- no need for chamber checker you can use your barrel removed from the gun also a load book or 3 --

Do I need crimp die for .45 ACP
You don't necessarily need a separate crimp die -- you will get a crimp die built into your seater die You can use them together as 1 unit, seat and crimp in 1 stroke of the press or you can use them separately Seat 1st then re-adjust the die and go back and crimp No real need for a crimp only die -- you'll get the combo die in the 3 die set

25% OFF AT HARBOUR FREIGHT
Green brook store is my local store -- they won't take the coupon on top of the sale price I really don't blame them -- I'd just love to get the 25% off the $299 which seems to be more of a regular price than a sale price cause its constantly on sale

STI guardian VS Colt Defender vs...?
I'd give a good look at a springfield Range officer -- Just came out in 9mm this year -- Sti is a great gun -- they even got rid of the billboard on the slide

What is your Go To Survival Knife?
I know it small for a "survival" knife but it's the knife I'm most likely to have on me Essee Izula2 -- Worn horizontally on my belt at 11 o'clock I forget it's there If "survival" means an unplanned SHTF then this is the knife I'll have with me

Relative spaces to powder top and bullet base
Why? I have multiple guns that have never seen a factory round feed it the good stuff right from the start -- the hell with factory ammo -- yours is better I've been reloading for over 20 years -- I remember being surprised when I 1st started about how little a proper charge of bullseye filled a 45 acp case -- never really gave it much thought after that I do know that the more filled a case is the more complete of a powder burn you get --

25% OFF AT HARBOUR FREIGHT
I've been trying to get the 12 ton winch for cheaper than the sale price of $299.99 -- Regular price is $499.99 so they say but it's always on sale My local store won't give me the 25% on top of the $299.99 -- I'll be sure to try online after the parking lot sale is over -- Seems, according to that linked slick deals forum, that the coupon codes work on sale priced items online Have to wait till parking lot sale is over to try it...

Finding alternate powders...
MIke -- See if solomons has an 8 pound jug of Promo -- That will keep you in 9mm for quite some time -- I use it in 9mm, 45acp, 38 special, 38 super, 12 gauge and 20 gauge shotshell If you get promo I'll set you up with load data -- I have a few older books with printed data for Red dot which is exactly the same load data as promo The 650 powder measure handles it very well too

State of Emergency for snow -- Did anyone actually get any?
I have to agree, I'm happy with the miss and I too hope that's it for the season I do think the SOE was premature -- starting to feel like the state of Georgia -- shut it down on what looks to be 5" max

State of Emergency for snow -- Did anyone actually get any?
I'm in zip 08846 -- Right in the corner of middlesex county where middlesex, union, and somerset counties all touch We where predicted 12+ inches a few days ago -- We might have 1/16th of an inch -- a dusting of snow Why the state of emergency? Why shut down non essentials statewide? I'm starting to get concerned with the property taxes -- The borough is already complaining about the money spent -- State of emergency lets them exceed the 2%cap -- How exactly does this work? We get 5 even 10 days a year with a state of emergency declared, and the townships can raise our taxes whatever they like for the rest of our life You know once the extra money spent is recuperated they won't lower our taxes I think this one was a little premature with a statewide state of emergency -- even our local schools had a delayed opening Bunch of sissies...

2014 Hunters Ed Field Days
So is there still a separate rifle license? my son will be happy being a current shotgun license holder -- now he's good for rifle and muzzy I just re-read your post -- no separate class to purchase a rifle license -- answers my question -- yes there still is a separate rifle permit

2014 Hunters Ed Field Days
Maybe I'm missing something but it looks like there is no longer a separate rifle class -- Looks like you would have to take shotgun all over again for a rifle license I don't see any way to get a rifle license -- They do have an advanced muzzy/rifle but really unclear what that is
