NWI INGO General Post part 16

500 rounds of .308 at the 50 yd. range.

He must be a very good shot.

Yea, I really didn't understand his mission, shooting that many boomers, and I didn't check his targets, but to each their own.

Best of luck. Last time I was there got into an argument with the ranger about carry permits. He thought you had to have one in order to transport firearms to the range. Yep. Needless to say ,hadn't been back since, even though being right didn't help and almost had to leave the range. Hadn't been back since.

I've heard several stories just like yours, mostly from several years ago. They must have had a Barney Fife type Range officer at one time who didn't know the law. I've been going there for a few years now and never had an issue. Last year, they re-built the whole place and put a lot of money into it. It's now leased to a husband and wife team and costs $7 an hour, but the facilities are topnotch. The fee to shoot has cut down on some of the traffic, but I seem to have bad luck with the big boomers showing up when I show up.

You only buy large quantities of ammo on credit if you don't plan on coming back from the op.

I'm considering designating the rear section of my woods to pollinators and monarchs. I'm not a plant guy and recently contacted IN Wildlife and Gaming. Anyone in this wheelhouse? The links out there are broad from the DNR and Purdue Extension. Walkerton is the closest recommended contact for seeds/plants/info. I'd like to keep it with native species that are not PITA and are nice to look at (to appease the wife).

Where at in Walkerton? Mama would like to have a bunch of monarchs floating around

Isn’t there a Purdue extension in front of the Lake Co courthouse?

Coneflowers, black eyed Susans, and milkweed are all easy to grow, native butterfly attractors.

Which species of milkweed are native? There's 40 species to choose from.

We have pretty successfully grown Coneflower, Black Eyed Susans and Milkweed on our property. I say pretty successfully because the Coneflower and Black Eyed Susans seem to last for 3 to 5 seasons and then die off. The Milkweed, not sure which variety we have, has been a continual grower.

Yarrow is another that will attract butterflies and seems to grow easily and lasts for a long time. It can even be mowed into a lawn and kept low, but will not bloom. Leave it alone and it will bloom and attract butterflies.

 

[Ballstater98]

Cleared out some more underbrush & trimmed up some trees in the woods before the rain and skeeters hit. Flood in the back yard-o-mud AGAIN. Rain tomorrow...seriously?
