North GA, Marlin 1894 44.mag w/ Winchester white box 240 grain JSP. Shot once running away and it reversed and ran back at me and hit it again. Either shot would have done it. Two beagles chased the deer right by me and appeared on its trail after I shot it. They had collars on, barked at me and too...

Hunting with dogs is allowed in the south. Hunting with dogs is just as much a sport as any other, however many argue the point. Many in the western part of the US frown upon it, however, they have different terrain. In the south, we have alot of swamp land, and land that is covered in thick brush. ...

These days I only have 3 choices since I have narrowed down my pistol collection. I have a S&W 19 .357, a Springfield 1911, or my 1860 Colt Replica to choose from.

No wonder they cant figure out how to fill out a ballot, the sun has fried their brains!

+1 on what dude said. The 1863 Sharps Military Carbine had the ring mounted on the left side of the receiver where it meets the stock. Civil War Cavalry Soldiers wore a sling that went over head and rested on one shoulder while the other side went under the arm. It prevented them from loosing contro...

I guess the only one that really cares about the potential threat of a bear attack is the Poor Fella that gets to experiance it first hand!

Some of them just aint gittn the point junior. Not even sure if they read the original thread!

That fixed it Andrew, thanks for the assistance!

I followed your directions and used photobucket, however, when I try to add it to my avtar slot on my profile it tells me that my URL code is not valid. Can anyone give me a suggestion here. I ensured that the pic is 80x80.

:shock: I didnt know any CAV soldier ever carried a 94 winchest in 30-30!!! Kind of pointless to make a commemorative out of a gun that was never carried by those that seem to be commeorating it. I might be intrested in it if it were an 1863 Sharps Military Carbine! :D Looks to me like someone purch...

Well they might get upset with me since I use a Polluan (SP?) I know I know, but Kansas doesnt have many trees!

I had purchased a Mossberg 835 12 ga that I just knew would be my dream shotgun. However, I hated the long reach since I am only 5'7" and the receive is so long due to 3 1/2 shells. I just sold it and purchased a J.C. Higgins 583 bolt action and love it.

Dont get me wrong, I am originally from Texas as well and beleive me I have put plenty of lead in feral dogs and coyotes. Hell they dont even have to be chasing a calf or chicken at the time! My mom and dad still cant keep a chicken coup full of chickens. However, if you read the other story it didn...

WHERE DO I FILE MY APPLICATION???

The letter of the law always views things in BLACK and WHITE. Despite your motive, you could be charged for Killing a Deer out of Season and possibly shooting a deer and not tagging it. He could also accuse you of being the individual that shattered the deers leg in the first place. I have seen othe...

You may want to take the time to research hunting regulations before you go shooting someones dog. In Georgia, it is legal to hunt deer with dogs. Whether you agree or disagree is inmaterial, its LEGAL. If you shot my dog and I could identify you, I would ensure that you were prosecuted to the full ...

Not sure what the terrain is going to be like. The .22 mag would be a good choice at closer ranges as well as a 12 ga with 000 or 0000. However, if longer ranges are possible I would opt for the .243.

Thanks for the info, I am putting it on my calander so that I keep an eye out for it.

Sounds like a good opportunity to help someone in need with a nice possibility of getting an old rifle cleaned up and purdy.

Just another illustration of how special interest groups can manipulate POLITICS. The squeky wheel gets the grease! I tend to beleive its mostly the Democrates that lend an ear to BS like this, but I am sure there is a republican in there as well.

I dont have a rack that holds the gun into position, however, I have an 1860 Pieta that I have displayed in my gun room. It sits on a small shelf thats about 18" wide and about 4 or 5" deep. If you take and groove the shelf on the top where no one can really see it, you can have the gun si...

I would sight in on paper at 25 yards starting out. Then check where my bullet lands when shooting at 50 yards. Then check again at 100. Once you know your trajectory, I would think it would be relatively simple to walk the bullets onto the target at 100 yards within a 6 shot cylinder. Concentrate o...

I looked at a shotgun that sounds simular to the one your talking about. I was told that the exposed hammers are cosmetic only and do not actually fire the shotgun.

SUBSONICS may shoot good in a Single Shot but due to the shorter length they seldom feed in other types of actions. Most do not notice enough accuracy advantage to deal with constant misfeeds.

I would only clean the metal up with oil and 0000 steel wool if you have any rust on it. Let it wear the way it should. Mind you, only LIGHTLY rub the wool in any area with RUST. Pull the lever off and take 000 steel wool and ensure any burrs or machine marks are removed from the finger that slips i...

I have 2 Marlin M-60 Glenfields. 1- rifle and 1- short barreled carbine. The rifle length barrel is excellent and has never misfed. The carbine IMO is no good. I clean both of them the same, however the carbine is much more tempermental. The one thing that I have found with it is make sure you shoot...

Slowly but surely the middle class is dying away. When it does, our society as we know it will self destruct. IMO, when it comes to the end of time we will have reverted back to the day when there were 2 classes of citizens, lords and phesants. I think we all know that that wont work. It will result...

OVER 30 years and he still gets into office???? The legal system in Nebraska is definately broke for even allowing someone to file such a rediculous lawsuit! Just think of the tax dollars at waste!

Horsesoldier03 is a name that I started using on the internet for the forums that I belong to. I originated while I was the NCOIC for a Ceremonial Cavalry Unit that replicates the 1850s to 1870s era of the cavalry.
