HA weez you are funny! South Dakota would be awesome, they even have some muley's out there and analope. Let me know if you need a hunting buddy! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] You got to get yourself a wife that is into all this outdoor stuff. My wife is the one who suggest the H1, even if it is more money! So I ate that all up. We did end up getting it too! Can't wait to take her for a spin! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

hey catter you are gonna have to let us know how she handles. and i am thinking when i move down there that there is a bunch of prarie dogs that will be barking at me to [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] and when i get out there and established you will have to come pheasant hunting with me i think it will be a blast. but i am gonna have to keep whitetail hunting in minnesota though we have about 600 acres or so of private land that our hunting party owns and i am building a deer stand right now 59 inches by 69 inches made out of all metal except the floor. so well if a fire comes through the only thing standing will be my deer stand [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] when i get it done i will put a picture of it on here.

Oh man I love the homemade deer stands! Before we moved up to Alaska my dad and I were working on one using old rail-road ties. A metal one would be cool too. Be sure to put a roof on it with a nice heater and a hole to **** out of! You would then be all set [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img] What gun do you use for prarie dogs? I am thinking of getting a .22-250. We defanitly have to get together and shoot some stuff! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

the 22-250 or 223 is probably your two finest guns for prarie dogs from what i have been told they are cheap to shoot and flat shooting. i have my old .243 savage lol cheapest gun ever built yet it is the sweetest lil thing i have ever shot. and my deerstand will have a sunflower heater in it and a roof. lol go to www.centralboiler.com thats where i work and i got all scrap and scratched parts from work and my stand will look exactly like one of the stoves. hey if you are looking at getting into a business up there that would be a good one to get into we don't send that terribly many stoves up to alaska. and about the prarie dogs well a person has to go out at least once a year and shoot a bunch of helpless little animals to prove to ourselves that we aren't at the bottom of the food chain.

Hey weez, very interesting boiler info. My wife and I want to build our own house when we get back to MN, do you sell this things or how do you know about them? Man I would love to just come out and spend a day sitting on a hill in South Dakota and pluck prairie dogs! Do you have a specific plan you are following for the deer stand? Like do you have the "blueprints" or anything like it? I would be interested to see it!

that is where i work i assemble them well today i just goofed off for about 10 hours got to drive the sweeper around and stuff. but the deerstand will be 59 inches by 69 inches and 5 feet ten inches high to the bottom of the roof then i supposed the roof gives me another 2 and a half feet. right now i got my frame welded for the bottom just gotta build the walls. i get all the stuff from work for free all the tin, corners, rafters, got a lil door from work, and the roof trim. we built one for mom last year exactly like that but we put a balcony on hers and regular stairs going up so it is easy for her to get into it. i do honestly believe that is the perfect size for a stand not to big and not to small. that would be awesome to sit on a hill in SD shooting prarie dogs then after the guns go away sit there and drink a couple cold beers [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] that would be the life. so you guys are looking at moving back to MN huh where bouts you gonna move to in this god aweful state? lol sorry.
