As a retired football coach I hope that my experiences have made me a decent judge of character. He has gotten a little more venturesome in the 7 years that I have known him. I had noticed that when I started teaching in 1967 until when I retired in 1998 the student's maturity has went backwards. No...

I found out yesterday when one of the younger hunters came up to the lease. I asked him if he knew anything about cyanide killers. He gave me a shocked look and said "I forgot about that, what happened". He is working to become a Federal Game Warden. One of his fellow academy rookies fathe...

What do you think about them? RR7

Glad you are doing fine. Make sure you complete your rehab 100% so you wont have problems later on. God Bless, RR7

It's fun to spoil the grand-kids but lets don't go too far, make sure you put it near a wasp nest and an old sears catalog.

rangerider7

I like them like that. You got a good one. I sure wouldn't have pass it up, congratulations and have fun. RR7

I don't know if anyone is interested in this badge but I thought someone might be. It is a neat item. It might be a little high but you don't see them very often.

BigSky, will do. Thanks RR7

The vet thinks the calf will make it. I will be keeping a close eye on the neighboring ranch. If I see any cowboy "burring" anything he better be ready to hear the buzzing of a bullet above his head or prove he believes he's a cat.

I have killed hundreds of jackrabbits from the time I was 13 till now, I'm 67. My buddy years ago decided to cook a jack one night at our camp. I ate cottontail myself. He vomited all night and thought he was going to die. to this day all I have to say is "you want to try a little jackrabbit to...

Thanks BigSky56 for the info. RR7

I talked to my neighbor by phone last night. He knows nothing about it. He said he will send some hands out today to inspect the area for anymore. He suspects teenagers doing it for kicks. That means they could be from our side because it is so close to the main barn. He said if necessary he will ha...

I was out at the ranch yesterday and notice one of our caves had gotten through the fence onto the adjoining ranch near our main barn. I started walking over to run it back over and notice it sniffing at something in the grass. I couldn't figure what it would be in the winter. All of the sudden it e...

C.Cash, nice Ruger, trapper and Crockett spurs. RR7

I'm really enjoying reading these posts. I have already posted my choice but thought I would add my two cents on having my dad's or granddad's guns handed down to me. One of my grandads was an avid hunter. I went with him and my uncles many times. His oldest son got the guns then they were handed do...

rangerider7

IMHO the 357 Mag muzzle blast, wall penetration and flash would keep me from wanting it to be my first choice for HOME self defence. I want to be able to hear, see, and not be worried as much about innocent people in the house If I am in a shoot out with the intruder. Just my two cents, RR7

rangerider7

Kill the two legged varmint I am aiming at with a well placed shot and not blind me with mussel blast. Also I don't want the bullet to go through walls and hurt some unintended victim. RR7

rangerider7

The only time I ever had that happen was because of a wore out barrel. RR7

rangerider7

Pitchy if you can give him time and you will here about him or he will find his way back. You know him best think about where he might go. Good luck and my thoughts and prayers are with you. A loving companion is hard to loose. RR7

My wife bought this nickle plated, pearl gripped, 1st generation Colt SAA years ago to my surprise. At that time I never figured I would own a 1st generation Colt SAA especially one like this with it's background. She had inherited a little money from a dear uncle and saw me admiring it. When I put ...

Thanks guys for the tip on the UV. I use acid free sheets to store original documents and photos but I do have a few photos that need the UV glass. Thanks again, RR7

I was able to acquire this powder horn to go with my shot glass from the Confederate "Waco Guards" Company A of the Civil War. I gave the complete story of Hiram Granbury as a Texas Ranger in Captain Thomas Harrison's company, then gathering some men from that company to form the "Wac...

Looks like you got enough volunteers, that's good my wife is still recovering from the last operation. She is doing great but needs me for certain things for a little longer, driving and lifting are still no nos. She should be given her release from her doctor soon and we will be back to normal. I c...

Take care! RR7

Charles, I need to see the back of the badges but I will tell you now don't get your hopes up too much. RR7

rangerider7

game keeper, daggers or bowies were carried by most Texas rangers up until well after the "Turn of the Century". They were use for killing as well as camp work and eating. All sizes are seen in old photos. RR7 http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e372/rangerider72/TXR_photo2.jpg http://i43.ph...

This is a nice item. They are hard to find because most were torn up and thrown away. Will Wright was sheriff of Wilson County, Texas when this poster was issued somewhere between 1902-17. It is an original poster. Here is the "Texas Ranger Hall Of Fame" information on him. http://www.texa...

I like it! Good shooting. My wife had another check of her colon yesterday. Everything was fine. I hope now I can do a little hunting. Five operations in six years has slowed me down a bit.

rangerider7

Get you some cordovan shoe polish for the belt and it will help make it match. That's one Idea, but try a small spot first to see. It usually depends on how the belt was treated. You may be able to find a match on Ebay but finding one with the correct caliber and size is not easy. RR7

rangerider7

My two cents, find out where it is getting in and fix that after you run him out. Killing him will just put the for rent sign up for another at a later date.

RR7

rangerider7

Griff, can I get one of those for around 500-800 dollars?

Like I say it will be a few months before I see my buddy so I guess I will "let it ride' for now. If it happens it will be a sweat and blood letting trade.

RR7

rangerider7

Guys, your sure have me confused now. Thanks to all of you for your input. I know by in the last few weeks of looking at all the new pistols, they will not satisfy me. I will just wait for a good trade if it comes along. A dealer friend of mind for years has a Colt 1911 with cattle brands engraved a...

rangerider7

I have a need to own one. I should have gotten one years ago like my dad had. Now the plain Colt service model is way out of my buying range during this economy. I was thinking about buying a new cheaper one, even though I dislike the newer guns of all kinds. Maybe a Rock Island or Springfield Armor...

Good job Griff. It looks like a full blood to me.

Nice job Kirk. I made a video in 1986 in honor of the Texas sesquicentennial. My dad was raised in Comanche County, Texas. I had my dad go back to where he was born and take us to all the houses and a ranch he lived on and the business his dad ran, a drygoods and grocery store. I had just gotten the...

Real good shooting, you must have not even been breathing!

rangerider7

Your a good man Pitchy, stay that way and let the old world figure it out for themselves. They will come around.

Griff, my best friend since the 5th grade worked as a Deputy U.S. Marshal under Capt. Clint Peoples when he was U.S. Marshal of the Northern District of Texas. Thanks for the information but I have no interest in his items. I'll just leave it at that. Thanks for thinking about me, even though I seld...

Other than new Colt SAAs and a Winchester 9422 MAG I have found no others that I like in my price range. I am looking for a 1911 but can't get fired up on the new ones.

J Miller, leather cuffs started out as protection for the wrist while while driving a large team of mules or horses. Cowboys started wearing them to protect their wrist while working with barbed wire, roping and training wild mustangs. Shirt cuffs where easily frayed in the old days because all stor...

rangerider7

I like saddle soap to clean and preserve the leather. I then use shoe polish to sharpen them up a bit then buff them up real good. Lexol is a good preservative but be careful how much and how you apply it. A little goes a long way. If possible I prefer not to use a preservative. Thats my two cents. ...

No DixieBoy, a Mexican loop holster has one, two or three bands of leather cut into the backside so the sewn holster part can be folded and inserted into the loops. The Mexican loop holster is all one piece. This S.D. Myres holster is called a "jock strap" model for obvious reasons. The jo...

rangerider7

These are nice fully tooled cowboy wrist show cuffs with sterling concho snaps to go with my S.D. Myres Colt SAA holster. I think they look good together, they are a little darker but close. I thought you might want to see them together. RR7 http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e372/rangerider72/DCP_84...

If your going to shoot it often, use hearing protection or your will be hearing Christmas bells ringing all year long! RR7

coyotes are pretty tough. I have shot them square in the chest with a 243 or 223 and they still run away and die deep in the cedars. I always find them the next day dead. RR7
