Good looking women on that show. My oldest daughter liked it. Your oldest daughter likes women? *grin duck run* :-) I know watcha mean. I also share the hots for Kaylee. Geekchicks rule. And as soon as I get my second Rossi it'll end up as a mare's leg*. The "flashback" episode was the be...

Anybody, please tell move about racoons. I know they are smart. but what is their personality if raised from babies? Are they like cats or more like dogs ?

I don't know anything about the new movie, but Bruce Cohen is not one of the Coen brothers. They are Ethan and Joel. I will say that if the Coen brothers remake True Grit it will not be like the original. And if Jeff Bridges is Rooster he will do a good job. He is an ACTOR. And last I will probably...

I have been shooting the Lyman 412263 cast from #2 alloy with pleasing accuracy.

In 1942-43 when my dad ..... came across a timber wolf .... later tanned the hide on one side to remember the short, amazing time he had with the wolf. How I found out about this?

Kirk touched on this....Chronys need sunlight to work. The sensor has to "see" the shadow of the bullet going over. If you set one up in a shady place, it won't work right. Flying bugs can give false readings, too. I only mention this as a possible reason why some folks have bad results wi...

Thanks Dave. The price looks good and for practice ammunition, that should do very nicely. My wife likes that little .327, and I just got some dies from Lee for the .32 H&R Magnum. They should do quite well with those bullets. I'll post a range report as soon as possible. I went to the Safari C...

I buy a lot of reloading stuff through Amazon.

In my experience, they are usually not as cheap as my normal suppliers, but I use my Amazon rewards that I earn from my Amazon VISA.

I run every expense I have through that card and earn 1 to 2% on it....that I turn right around and spend.

Shooter, there's also a gun show at the Mesquite Rodeo Arena scheduled for the end of this month.

My daughter found a baby bird, named Einstein for the tuft of feathers on his head. He grew up to be a mockingbird.

Can't say other than sleeping late and a couple hours of hunting, I didn't do much other than watch three Tom Selleck movies today. Got them for Christmas and watched Crossfire Trail, last stand at Saber River and Monte Walsh. Great movies. Monte Walsh has to be one of my favorites for sure. Your t...

Well, right or wrong, my Remington 870 marine magnum has 6 rounds in the tube - alternating 00 buck and slug. There are 4 additional slug rounds in the Tacstar holder on the left side of the receiver and 5 more 00 rounds in an Allen elastic holder on the stock. If any walls are standing when I get t...

I do like the 32-20 as it's got history and panache on it's side. Plus it's been chambered in the most interesting guns. The 32 Fed Mag is nothing new. It's the same idea as the big fat magnum rifle cartridges that just duplicate existing rounds performance in a different package. And this silly id...

BTW, want to know what group of people have the largest percentage of accidental fires caused by things like this and the improper use of gasoline...?

Mich hunter, Warhawk, That is not the point. Guns in the back of the truck, or what you have in your homes is one thing.

I was not aware of the difference in petroleum and plant based oils in this regards. There is no distinction between oils.

I am probably the last one to know about this, but I learned that folded or waded up cloth or paper towels that have natural plant oils (linseed, cottonseed, tung etc) on them will often generate enough heat due to oxidation of the oils to have spontaneous combustion of the cloth or paper and a fir...

I've "barked" squirrels before, mostly on accident. When they hit the ground, the dog dispatched them and brought them to me. I haven't hunted squirrels with a dog since my grandpa died in 86. He was the only one who ever kept a squirrel dog around, and it was always part collie for some r...

Clients looking for a face-to-face encounter will prefer to hunt with me. I started talking about maybe going to Africa to hunt and my wife said I had to take her.

Never used one, so no advice there. Academy had a Heritage single action .22 for 99 dollars the other day. Was usually 149 and on closeout.

Nath's scenery photos made me decide to include this one. From where the deer is laying, the closest house is about 3 miles away as the crow flies.

Monte Walsh is a good flick. George Eads cracks me up in it. I wouldn't eat anything Larry (William Sanderson) or his brothers Darrell cooked no matter how hungry I was.

For your daughter, maybe a .243 or a 7mm-08 might be a good choice for when she wants something bigger than the .22. A .30-30 levergun is also a good choice. None of these kick much and they all can be used on deer and hogs. Uh-oh, I think I opened a discussion here. Anyway, get her something with ...

Nice report, Vance. Great you were able to get your daughter out to the range. I've got four of them and they don't really like shooting even though I started them off with 22's. I've got a Win.

Finally got outside today in sunny NNE Texas. It was about 45 degrees and low wind, so I had to take advantage of it. I forgot to take my rubber boots to the gun range.

Okay - you all convinced me. I love sci-fi, but had heard this movie was heavy on the enviromental message - to the point of being overbearing. Sounds like it's not so bad - and the special effects are worth it! :D No, it wasn't overbearing (to me.) You can't go to a Hollywood movie nowadays and no...
