Hillbilly, Putting down an animal that is in pain is compassion when you care for them its a act of love and its never easy on your heart. Ive never asked anyone else to do that for me as I felt that owning and careing for horses & mules included ending their life. Ive put down my own and others...

The best way to catch those high mtn trout is spin gear with a clear bobber and a lawyer fly about 5 or 6' behind it. My hunting partner and I caught one about every cast, just put it out there and then slow slow retreive. they were running 10 to 14". danny http://i208.photobucket.com/albums/bb...

The stones are a result of your body pulling calcium from your bones and what is left over is the stones, means your body isnt getting enough calcium . My dad would pass 1 or 2 stones a year for 20 years started on good grade of calcium and vitamin C hasnt had a problem the last 20 years. danny

Pete, I was concerned that if I was working cows all day or hunting that the sight couldnt take the jarring and beating it is going to get, my rifles are in a scabbard every day I ride and when Iam not riding the scabbard is in the truck bouncing around. danny

Thanks for the info, sounds like the fire sight might be a problem child, I'll stay with a sourdough sight, I dont want to baby my tools and when I need them I want them to work. Where I live and hunt I run into predators all the time and some of them are big. danny
