    Favorite Gun in your safe thread

    A fellow I worked with bought a couple of those Martini on the cheap in Australia back in the 1970s. We sure missed out on some good purchases. Another fellow I worked with, his father owned a hardware store and had taken in original muzzleloaders back in the 1950 s. He said his dad got sick...

    Favorite Gun in your safe thread

    I have to go along with Skeeter on this one. Not only does it depend on the need at hand, but also your mood. I know everyone thinks I shoot long range only, but often I grab a single shot 45/70 or a lever 44. I normally have five or six rifles along on a deer hunt. One year three of us...

    Allen I had a highschool classmate that had a coon dick toothpick on a gold chain around his neck. He liked telling the girls what it was.

    Tim wells

    My grandson met Tim Wells this summer at an archery tourney in Superior, Wisconsin. He said the guy is an absolute hoot. This reminds me I have a 38 caliber blowgun somewhere. I will need to find it. It's amazingly accurate at ten yards. It's hard to believe that your breath can push a dart...

    No sir that deer is not a tirty pointer but is actually a 57 pointer

    Some of those old Buffalo hunters could really reach out with a Sharp's and other old rifles. At the second battle of Adobe Walls and with a couple dozen witnesses Billy Dixon shot an Indian off his horse at 7/8 mile. Kurt how can you compare long range with penned animals. Long range...

    No sir that deer is not a tirty pointer but is actually a 57 pointer

    I completely agree. The anti hunting crowd loves to portray all hunters as those who shoot Bambi fenced in and eating out of the owners hand while we stick the gun barrel in Bambis ear. While disease is of great concern the public image endangers an American heritage. Actually you don't...

    Youth Deer Season

    Good times CatDaddy. I had a grandson out this week-end. He thinks my 6.5 Creedmoor is the cats meow. He wasn't wild about dragging the deer, but the landowner drove over with his tractor and said dump it in the bucket. He crossed the small creek with the tractor and dropped it right at the...

    No sir that deer is not a tirty pointer but is actually a 57 pointer

    I have heard that argument many times, but it makes no sense. Think about it. At one time nearly everything was legal. The old west had opium houses. Shoukd we have taken that away from people who were doing it legally? If you remember the original Coca-Cola had a lot more kick. Shoukd we...

    No sir that deer is not a tirty pointer but is actually a 57 pointer

    I guessed that, and from that point of view I woukd agree. On the other hand I think conservatives are for banning some things. It depends on our point of view. For example I would ban citizenship for anyone who entered this country illegally. I would ban abortion. I would ban ANTIFA from...

    No sir that deer is not a tirty pointer but is actually a 57 pointer

    and here I thought I was the only one thinking this way. Think of a high fence operation as a diseased brothel. Edit: The owners are sort of animal pimps.

    Rifle cleaning kit

    SDMF Dewey rods and high doses of prednisone don't mix well. I picked up a new 6.5 caliber Cooper Phoenix and couldn't wait to get it going. At the time I had pneumonia and was on 80mg of prednisone. Chemicals had swelled the coating on my Dewey rod and I was unaware of it. The rod diameter...

    Rifle cleaning kit

    Get a good bore guide and always clean from the breach. I also agree with a one piece rod, but not the coated kind. Also use tight patch. Start with stabbing the bore a couple times with a carbon solvent. then follow up with a good Cooper solvent. I had to recrown a barrel after using an...

    Pelicans Feeding

    I think the guys who had done it told the new guys how much fun it was to get them to go. They didn't warn you either. You knew something was up because they were watching with big smiles and one just knew it wasn't because they were admiring your work.

    Camping - Water?

    If available I hook up at a camp site. Never without a pressure regulator and a charcoal filter. The camp site at Fishing Bridge in Yellowstine runs 100 lb PSE. We like to camp on the desert alone so I carry a 30 gal freshwater in the bed of my pickup. I have a 12v pump attached so I can...

    Pelicans Feeding

    Look in a pelicans pouch once and you will see the biggest lice you will ever see. Most often you think oof lice as small, but pouch lice must be a quarter inch long. I have seen up to 50 in a Pelican pouch all lined up and facing outward.

    Pelicans Feeding

    I have worked banding young onthe Islands of Chase Lake. They nest on the shore since the island flooded. It's a stench since their main food item is salamanders. You learn fast to carry them sideways because the moment you pick them up they squirter out of both ends like you turned on a...
