I'm half afraid to visit Wyoming.....I might not ever come back home! Come visit now, you'll want to go home. Wind chill -25 and I think I've shoveled the same dang snow out of my driveway 5 times now :evil: . It just keeps coming back from another direction. Snow doesn't evaporate or soak in aroun...

I am a member of my local Rotary Club and we have a big fish-fry fundraiser each fall. We usually have around 1000 folks and we pick someone to honor at the event. This year we chose to honor WWII vets. We reasoned that they may not be around too many more years. We got the local paper to reasearch ...

I have a Rossi 92 Carbine. I like the carbine buttplate, but it is too short for me. I would much prefer a shotgun plate on mine.

DerekR

That is a great buck! I love mass in a set of antlers. What State??

DerekR

That Low Wall looks like fun. How do you like it?

DerekR

I have a Springfield Loaded and I have been very happy with it. I can't speak to the Milspec model. I actually bought a Colt 1991a1 with the thought that I would like to build it a little at a time to suit my taste. I neglected to research the cost of such a plan, however! I say get what you can aff...

I just Paypaled a donation.

Merry Christmas and thanks to ALL who serve and have served this great country.

I had an A Bolt in .30-06. Very handsome rifle and extremely accurate. The most accurate rifle I have ever owned, in fact. The walnut stock is glass bedded at the factory. The rifle also fit me very well.
I traded it for a Ruger Blackhawk .45 because.....well, you know!

DerekR

I put my old name in my signature line. Helps keep track for those of us that used a different name. Just an idea lads!

DerekR

My first was with my first deer rifle...Marlin 336 in .35 Remington. It was a 5 point with an ugly rack, but he was a Boone & Crockett to me! He came running by my stand and I fired. I remember being somewhat amazed when he dropped where he was. He kicked a few times and I shot him again! I was ...

I just finished "Journal of a Trapper" by Osborne Russell. Great book! It is a reprint of the jornal he kept in the 1830-40s trapping in the Rocky Mountains. I didn't expect it to be as readable as it was, but this guy was not only a successful trapper, but a really good writer. http://www...

My 9422 and two very dead bushytails:

I'm glad you decided to keep that rifle. It was causing me too much stress thinking about it.

Me too. I like that rifle/caliber combo.

DerekR

Great picture! I'd love to kill an elk in that country. Beautiful!

DerekR

I suspect that they are sized .311 to make them work better with the Micro-Groove barrels.

DerekR

Good lookin bullets. Does anyone have one of his .30 caliber moulds? I might have to try one of those.

DerekR

Good score!

Heck, I wish we'd get some snow here in north Louisiana this winter. Our last semi-decent snow was 1983. I'm an avid hunter, and I've never hunted in snow. It's been 50 years or more since we've had enough snow to build a snowman. I agree Junior. When it snows here, all of us Southerners get to go ...

My grandfather/grandmother were never without a Rat Terrier. They all had the hearts of a much bigger dog. I remember one that weighed about 7-8 pounds that would routinely kill large possums and coons around their farm. Good little dogs.

DerekR

I love to squirrel hunt myself. I've never tried 'em with a handgun, but this year I think I'll give it a try. My favorite way is with my T/C Cherokee in .32 caliber. Our season starts the end of August and goes through February. Can't beat that!

DerekR

I agree Junior, those little Rossi are a joy to carry in the woods. Have ya'll been as dry as we have in Middle Tennessee? I'm wondering what effect the drought will have on small and big game around here. We have found some deer that we think died from a form of CWD (bluetongue?). We have found the...

I have a Bear Kodiak Hunter that I would like to date. The serial # looks to be KT10737 . Says AMO 60 50#

Any ideas guys?

My father has a beautiful Bear Cub that he has had since I was a crumb cruncher.

DerekR

I'm looking at the same thing for my TC Hawken. Go on this site: www.trackofthewolf.com Go to gun parts, then barrels. The have a catagory for replacement barrels for TC Hawken & Renegade. They have the direct replacement Green Mountain barrels. I hear they are better than the factory TC barrels.

DerekR

Love it! Nothing better than breakfats in camp and a good dog.

DerekR

I love those old Bear recurves!

DerekR

Thanks 3T. I appreciate that. I'll email you my address. Just one round would be fine for my purposes. As a matter of fact, just one of the bullets would be fine. I like Wayne's bullets. I ordered 1000 from him to feed my .45 Colts and they have served me well. He doesn't cast them too hard like a l...

DerekR

You might load up a dummy of that round and make sure it will feed before you load up a bunch of them. Don't as me how I know.
Is that bullet Wayne casts a WFN design? I might need to try me a box of those!

DerekR

I agree cubrock. Marlin used some really pretty, straight grained walnut in that time period.

DerekR

I've only had two scope failures in my life and both were on inline muzzleloaders. Those things can generate some stiff recoil when you get to, and past, 100 grains of powder. I like having back-up iron sights.

DerekR

but it came out kinda pink! My first stab at homemade pan lube. Beeswax, vasaline and a little parafin. I put a little carnuba in and a red crayon for color. Oh well..... Those are bullets cast from the RCBS .30 180FN, by the way, destined for my 30/30 leverguns. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a1...

Track of the Wolf has a lot of kits, and you can pay them to do some of the more advanced work. I've always wanted to do one also, but i'll probably start with a Lyman Great Plains kit first. One of these days I'd like to make a Southern Long Rifle in .36 caliber and maybe a Jaeger in .54 caliber. I...

My only scoped levergun is my 336 in .35 Remington. I out a Simmons Whitetail Classic in 1.5X5 20mm on it. I almost never move it off of 1.5 power. At 1.5 it is VERY fast to target and plenty of magnification for a lever rifle. I don't think that scope is made anylonger, but I think Leupold and Burr...

DerekR

For me it's my short-barreled Blackhawk in .45 or my Springfield .45ACP. There is a lot of comfort in those two pistols!

DerekR

I have never seen a 93 for sale locally, but if I found that gun at that price I'd get it.....especially in .32WS. That is a classic rifle in a great caliber.

DerekR

Congrats Doc! My father and mother are both State grads. My Grandfather had a dairy farm that backed up to campus. It was out on Blackjack Road, if you know where that is. I went to school there my freshman year, but it was too farm from my Tennessee roots for me, I guess! BTW, I wonder if they brea...

Biggest Pike I've ever seen. We go to the Quetico Provential Park most summers for fishing and camping. We catch a lot of Pike, but most are under 30inches. I was once soloing in a canoe down the Maligne River trailing a stringer with several smallmouth on it when a large Pike attacked my stringer. ...
