HAHAHA thanks for the laugh AJMD

Where do ya load that un??!! Thar ain't load loadin tube!!

RustyJr

RustyJr

I'm guessing that's some where in Russia or one of those countries near there? Maybe someone else can nail that down. Cub is pretty cute but with what appears to be a construction worker walking by I wonder what type of "facility" there at.

I have a Daisy Red Ryder that was my first levergun. Picked it up at a yard sale when I was about four or five. It is a Model 1938B, lot No. 89054405. It has the Medallion on the side of the stock. I was wondering if anyone could tell me anything about it. I'm curious. http://i1082.photobucket.com/a...

I have a Plano bow case and have no complaints. Glad to hear that they have good customer service. Thanks for the report Joe.

RustyJr

RustyJr

I see he took it with my favorite rifle cartridge

What weight and brand of bullet was he using?
RustyJr

RustyJr

How far away was he when you took the shot? What bullet and load were ya using? Gotta have details don't ya know

Very Nice deer by the way.

RustyJr

RustyJr

Most definitely would like to see your sketches and any other pictures that you have.

RustyJr

RustyJr

I saw this thread and figured that considering the time of the year that you might be deer hunting Pitchy

RustyJr

RustyJr

Now that's funny right Thar I dont care who ya are

RustyJr

RustyJr

If that's the convertible version you could slip the 22 Mag cylinder in it and have a decent home defense gun. Some might argue it but after reading some of Paco's writings it has been used successfully in the past.

RustyJr

RustyJr

Great stories on both counts. You should post more often.

RustyJr

RustyJr

That's amazing alphawolf. I would think that it would be more difficult but have you thought of doing something like a Lemat revolver? Your skill is awe inspiring.

RustyJr

RustyJr

Sorry for your loss brother. No words I can say will ease the pain. I'll keep you in my prayers this evening.

RustyJr

RustyJr

Praise the Lord indeed. What crossbow and broadhead were you using?

RustyJr

RustyJr

You know funny you should post that . . . I just happen to have one of those laying around

I have no experience with the 280 Remington. All mine is with the 270 Winchester. Looking at my Nosler reloading manual, they are listing a 160 grain Nosler Partition or Accubond at 2,792 fps with a MAX charge of 54 grains of H4831sc out of a 280 Remington.

RustyJr

Congratulations!! Great bear and great story sir. Its good to see game still being taken with traditional firearms and iron sights, especially the toothy stuff. Good to see you around again. Try to make your posts more regular. I know everyone here would enjoy them.

RustyJr

RustyJr

Yes sir . . . a nice hard cast 44 caliber bullet to the noggin would be just the ticket if one started to come after ya. There have been a couple times when working cows with my neighbor that a 44 sixgun would have been mighty comforting.

RustyJr

RustyJr

I would say . . . Glock 19/23 - 9mm/40S&W Pump Action Shotgun in 12 or 20 gauge Ruger 10-22 22LR Scoped Ar-15 Carbine - 5.56/223 Bolt Action 308 - scoped I went with the same number of firearms that were listed in the original post but modified the choices a bit. Some may argue that the handgun ...

RustyJr

I would say that if you are wanting to get them a handgun that a Ruger Single Six 22LR/22Mag would be a hard gun to beat. As to a long gun . . . I would say a rifle in 22LR would be a must. It is inexpensive to shoot with no recoil and the fundamentals of shooting will need to be learned before prog...

RustyJr

Beautiful pictures. Its good to see elk coming back/being reintroduced to the eastern states.

RustyJr

RustyJr

Thanks for the product report Joe. I definitely seem to favor Leupold products when it comes to optics.

RustyJr

RustyJr

I might of tried running him off (provided he wasn't in season) but I would have done it with a 44 sixgun in my hand. And as someone else mentioned . . . Beautiful bear.

RustyJr

RustyJr

Sounds like you couldn't have done better. A 20 gauge will sure enough do the job and simpler is usually better starting out. While I have yet to take my first deer my first shotgun was also a, H&R 20 gauge (youth model).

RustyJr

RustyJr

Very nice rifle. I would love to take a whitetail with that. Wonder how many it has to its name already.

RustyJr

RustyJr

Great story Griff

RustyJr

RustyJr

Well . . . I intend to take my first deer with my grandfather's deer rifle (Lord willing this year). Its a Remington 721 in 270 Winchester. Even though I have a couple of them, about a year and a half ago I bought a rifle for the express purpose of it being my main hunting rifle. I wanted it to be a...

RustyJr

Do they do ya'll have hunting leases up there in Canada like we do down here in the lower 48? I've never heard of it but am curious.

RustyJr

RustyJr

Went up to the hunting lease today to check on the food plot and replace a game camera. About 4 weeks ago I planted a small patch of cow peas and then about one week ago I planted another larger section of them. As of last weekend the deer had not found the food plot. Well . . . they found it some t...

RustyJr

Great story and the pictures are beautiful. What are the rifles and what are they chambered in?

RustyJr

RustyJr

Glad to see that you are still with us sir. You will be in my thoughts and prayers tonight.

I definitely prefer coffee out of a percolator. My dad likes his french press (they say it makes the best coffee) but I still prefer the percolator. As far as the brand of coffee goes . . . nothing to me tastes better than Dunkin Donuts brand of coffee. After reading this thread I think I'm going to...

RustyJr

Please keep me in your prayers if you would. I have an interview with a local law enforcement agency this Thursday at 9:30AM. Its in my home town and this is the agency that I have wanted to get on with for a long time now. Lord willing I'll be working by Christmas.

Thanks,
RustyJr

RustyJr

Great job Jacob. Good to see a youngster these days with the dedication and discipline needed to become proficient with his rifle. Ya done good dad.

RustyJr

RustyJr

I switched from a longbow to a compound several years ago due to not having enough time to stay proficient (according to my standards) and all I've ever had on it is a whisker bisket. No issues with mine whatsoever. My bow is a Darton. Draw weight is set at 50 pounds and I don't feel one bit under b...

RustyJr

JerryB, They have taken the bear off "the endangered species list" here in Florida but they are still several years away from having a season on them. Last month they had a black bear on the University of South Florida's campus http://wusfnews.wusf.usf.edu/post/bear-wanders-through-usf-cap...

RustyJr

I have seen this product called Deer Cain, some call it Deer Cocaine. They say it works. Does anyone have any experience with it? Also does it attract bears? We have black bears at our lease and I'd rather not attract them if I can avoid it.

Thanks,
RustyJr

RustyJr

Will keep you and your family in my prayers.

RustyJr

RustyJr

If ya'll would, please keep me in your prayers. I turned in an application to my local police department today. Lord willing I'll be hearing something from them soon. They have two openings at the moment.

Thanks,
RustyJr

RustyJr

I would agree Hobie and Shooter that a scoped 7mm-08 would probably be a better choice. If she is shooting your 270 well enough and likes that then that is an option as well (270 happens to be my favorite deer round). Whatever happens I'd let her pick what she feels comfortable with.

RustyJr

RustyJr

I'd definitely take the one on the right. I've never cared much for non-typical racks.

RustyJr

RustyJr

I'm not positive but I thought they used to be 1:38. Someone else will probably be along soon that will be able to give a more definitive answer.

RustyJr

RustyJr

Mr. Pitchy,
You and yours are in my thoughts and prayers. Don't stay off here for too long if you can, I know I'm one of several who would miss you around here.

I am trying to switch to Mozilla Firefox for my browser. However, when I try to log in, it logs me in but then switches back to the general discussion forum without showing me as being logged in. It does the same thing with another forum I try to get on. If I use internet explorer or Google Chrome i...

RustyJr

What are ya'll paying for primers in your area? I see them on Midway for $30 per 1000 for Large Rifle Primers but this is before shipping and handling and Hazmat fee. They have them at our local Hardware store for $38.99 per 1000 for Large Rifle and Large Pistol primers. This seems like a fair price...

RustyJr

I will definitely keep you in my prayers sir. Heal well.

I think this is the greatest scene out of the entire movie
