    Fish Preferences??

    They were if you fished alone and can lie, which is what a "fish-story" is mostly.

    Fish Preferences??

    1st thing I thought of after reading the OP was an OLD George Carlin bit. Carlin being Carlin, I'll clean it up a bit: "I never made it with a 10, but, one night I made it with 5 2's."

    Coyote success rate

    I don't get what I consider "lots" of coyotes, but, I do have one old beat up male that I got on a spring bear hunt in MT. It was mid-May but we were hunting 7-10K feet and the hides were still really nice. His ears were torn up and his muzzle full of scars, unfortunately none of the field...

    Coyote success rate

    Keep in mind, this being Dec 26th, we're just now 10 days past ML season. There has been a wounded deer/gutpile smorgasbord for the last 5-6 weeks. Gutpiles are obvious, but there were also deer that were unrecovered, and deer wounded less seriously that may now succumb to the extra stress of...

    Identifying the year of a Winchester repeating Arm.

    Dust cover would be a sliding guard over the ejection port on top. Should be able to stick a caliper in the bore and figure out what you've got. There were only 3 chamberings and different enough that a caliper will tell you what you need to know. 32-20, 38-40, or 44-40. They're different...

    Lamb cooking

    I need to work up the courage to try one. I've never ordered it, never even tried to make it.

    Need help

    No biggie, just a mess. I double O-ringed my 1st car, 1st oil change right on dad’s driveway. He was unimpressed, I haven’t forgotten since.

    Prime rib ?

    Seasoning 2-3 days early will make it even better. Reverse sear takes a little longer but there won't be any "brown" overcooked parts around the edges. It'll be your preferred "doneness" from edge to edge.

    A Toast!! My finest champagne

    Pulled out all the stops, Coors Light from a glass bottle. I'm raising the bottles to my lips, without them it'd be hard to drink from a bottle and a straw, plus I'd whistle through my teeth when I exhale.

    Building is actually a time saver if you have a good gunsmith. By the time you've decided to build, you should already have a bullet or two in mind and maybe 1-3 powders picked out. Unless you're the guy building new projectiles the rest of the work is pretty much done for you by the time a...

    What do you put in your winter survival kit?

    Coat (Primaloft puffy), hat, gloves in one of my small Cabelas waterproof roll-top bags for "Winter". Cables, 1st aide kit, triangles, flares, flashlight, safety vest for the "always" kit.

    Switching from 243 to 6 Creed

    It's all fun and games until you're buying a single-stage 2-stroke after an 18" event because even the pawn shops are devoid of anything larger. (grin)

    Are you saying they don't have a chambering reamer for 257Wby or can't do a 3-groove? If you've been happy w/Savage custom shop's work in the past, then by all means, let them chamber you a bbl. I don't worry a bit about the number of lands/grooves, just stating what I've got so someone would...

    240 wby

    257Wby w/100's @ 3600 is within 1/4" up/down of meeting your criteria. 0 @ 260 = 2.2" high @ 150yds and 10.25" low @ 400. I run 100gn TSX's in mine and i haven't "blown-up" a coyote yet. It knocks the snot outta deer and antelope too so you end up with some extra versatility. Recoil is in...

    Switching from 243 to 6 Creed

    Attention span is too short to be....................................................Wait, what was I saying now? I'm lucky when my socks match. For the most part I ditched shoelaces too. I can get a rifle into a good shooting position and stay on target. I miss the subtle changes in wind...

    Cooper's custom shop will allow you to specify twist, add/delete a muzzle brake/muzzle threading, etc, etc, etc. Their lead time is painfully long however. 2 friends have gone this route and it's 9-12mo at least. The finished product however is fantastically accurate. - - - Updated - - -...
