If you like the Sparrow on a 10/22, try it on a bolt action ! One thing that helped my 10/22 be quieter was to change to a synthetic bolt stop pin.

Look up Wildmans Hammertime on Facebook. He will ship it to you. It’s a mix of fish pellets and corn coated in oils and other scents. It will hammer them. You can still use a marshmallow on the trigger and the bait on top.

Please tell Elon to hurry up. Can’t wait to drop Verizon like a bad habit. Their service has gone to shite. I’ve been a customer over 30 years dating back to Bellsouth then Cingular. Same account, same number. Areas where I had good service both voice and data I can now barely get a text.

Buy stock in a zip tie company. You’ll be fixing plenty of holes.

But they work. Easy to set up. I sold a Jager Pro trap plus another gate and bought a Pig Brig. I still run a cell camera on mine to see when I have pigs in it.

If you catch a large boar at night do not wait until the next morning to dispatch. Drive right up to the trap with bright lights. A light bar really helps. The don’t freak out when the can’t see.

One of our hunters has built several corral traps with cellular gates. He tried to use heavy rebar framed gates with expanded metal on them. Large boars blew the gate out of the frame. He replaced with 3/4 plywood and zero problems. They won’t run through what they can’t see through.

If you want to save a little money, buy a PSA lower on sale then a Bear Creek upper.

I have a Bear Creek side charging upper in .22 WMR. Works well once I figured out the bugs. They don’t work well with drop in triggers like a Rise Armaments. Swapped to a lower with mil spec trigger and it runs flawlessly. Think the hammer profile on the drop in caused some issues.

Looks like a complete rifle from BCA is under $400. Upper is < $300.


For just a fun gun this will get you there. If you want to shoot some type of match you’re going to spend more $$$

Distances you routinely shoot ? What platform ? AR or bolt action and what caliber ?

If you’re putting it on a suppressed 300 BO than any of the newer thermals in the $900-1500 range will be OK. Bolt action .308 class cartridge where you can shoot longer distances you need to spend at least 2X more $.

The models that look more like a traditional scope are easier to shoot from a bolt action.

Another tactic on culverts prone to extreme flooding is to “turtle back “ them leaving the fill higher in the center allowing flood water to go around the ends. You may have scour on the banks but the pipe usually remains in place.

Kind of like relief bridges in major bottoms that are normally dry until it floods. Then they allow water an exit taking pressure off the road bed.

Culverts either steel or HDPE need 12” minimum cover. With a 4:1 side slope you go out 4’ for every 1’ in total elevation on each side. So as an example with a 5’ elevation and a 15’ top you’ll need 15+20+20 or 55’ minimum length.

A rail car is the best solution if the span is very wide. Figure at least 10’ on each side sitting on the bank.

Truck beds, utility trailers, mobile home frames have been used for smaller creek crossings. But you are not hauling any heavy loads across any these options.

If water is not very deep normally, a rocked low water crossing is usually pretty cost effective. After sloping your approaches, place geo/tech fabric before placing the rock.

We have everything from 90’ rail cars to truck beds and concrete beams on one of our properties in SW AL. I think we have 6 on that one tract and at least 3 more I can think of.
