That sounds like a great idea. It seems to be a dead time of year in spite of varmint seasons being open.

Last summer I completed a trapping course to get my license. Modern trapping is out of the dark ages of old stories where animals ate their own paw off,etc. The efficient and trained use of foot hold and kill traps such as the conibear are very humane. Today's foot holds are constructed in a manner ...

The sad fact of life today is that our nation along with many have moved towards more socialism. Socialism in order to survive must need blind obediance from the populace. Such things as hunting and shooting tend to instill a sense of independence in people thus would question the motives of the gov...

I used to hunt deer in Castleton when I was a teenager. I hunted in the view of Birdseye Mountain to the south of us. Fond memories of a different America.

It makes me ill to think that the social cancer of drugs has cast a pall over that part of the Green Mountain State.

In a strange way I actually like the carved rifle. It is unique and one of a kind. In all honesty I wish I had the ability to carve in that manner.

A couple of years ago I was helping my wife clear the table after dinner when she delivered one of those off hand "I love you"s. Well it arrived a half second before I released a belch that rattled the windows and sent to dog seeking cover under the bed. Needless to say, that wasn't the r...

Time to pour antifreeze on the gutpiles after deer and elk season. I know it sounds harsh but I have heard of it being done before.

Jason: Please elaborate as to what happened recently that got you upset. Did someone going to Killington or Okemo start making anti-American comments? Did someone headed to Burlington make comments on how quaint the native Vermonters are? I am not sure where people with traditional values can go any...

I bought one about a year and a half ago. Glad I did so before they discontinued them. It is a fun shooter.

I also love that sharpened leaf spring he uses in the new movie. I checked the price of the latest creation from Jimmy Lile, $1200 +.

He is a typical Hollywood hypocrite when it comes to the firearms issue.

I sort of grew up on the 16 guage. When my Dad was younger the 16 guage was seen as an ideal middle. At the time, the 20 was considered a lightweight for some upland game as well as deer with slugs while some didn't like the recoil of the 12. The 16 was seen as a good compromise. Before rifled slug ...

I commend you on your fiscal decision. Too many people will blindly look at nothing but price. I know it is hard for some but in the end you tend to get a better product. It has been my experience that items from China tend to be shoddy.

I'd say that the sucker was about twenty yards away on the frozen shoreline.

bigbore442001

I have houses on two sides of me. One is 100 feet away and the other about 200 feet away. In front is a mile of frozen lake. I saw the animal trotting along the shoreline about fifty feet away from my doorstep. I figured that heavy cast bullet with two or three grains of Unique or Red Dot in the 45-...

That is what archery equipment is made for. The same thing is happening in my part of the world. Many animals such as deer and turkey are learning to live behind houses and in small patches of woodland. The bow and arrow is ideal for that . I've taken a lot of deer in what you could call a suburban ...

I beleive the reason Sheriff Joe is supporting Mitt Romney is his stance on illegal immigration. When he was the governor of Massachusetts, he empowered the Mass State Police to enforce immigration laws and make arrests. Then the new Dummycrat governor Deval aka Devolve Patrick nixed that policy and...

I wonder if the guys at the reclaimation center were scratching their heads over that one.

bigbore442001

Last night I went to my place and spotted something odd on the shoreline trotting on the ice. If I am not mistaken, it was a coyote. Now I can't shoot anything that makes a large report but I know the infamous cat sneeze load would do the trick. I have an NEF single shot 45-70 with a 24" barrel...

As a rule, whitetailed deer bucks drop their antlers in mid January or so. I have been hearing reports that they have dropped already . I am still doing some bowhunting and have seen only bald heads in the woods of RI. I can't tell if they are bucks or not.

The politicians are pandering to a group whom they want to vote for them in the future. Thus ensuring a perpetual jop. Think about it. Imagine having a goverment official job. Think of all the perks and benefits. Once they taste the sweet life, they don't want to leave the table.

Just by the post I can tell that the Brady clan are full blown communists. They do not believe in the individual being able to do anything for themselves. A large number of people went to the gulags for defending themselves from a home invader under Stalin. It was considered an anti social crime to ...

Better than having American Idol on the tube. Got fresh air and some exercise to boot.

I may go out again tonight in a different spot. I did make a discovery. A handgun scope is a bit tough to see through at night.

bigbore442001

Well. I went out but didn't see anything to shoot at. The whole landscape was aglow with the moonlight over the snow. It really makes things stand out.

bigbore442001

American Idol is on TV and Mary will be glued to the set. I don't mind but it isn't my cup of tea. Thus the answer to this is , go coyote hunting. I am getting dressed now and will be out the door in a few minutes with the TC Contender in hand, 16" 22 Hornet barrel and Ruger Single Six as a bac...

What did you hunt for?

I think it would be prudent to have a few junkers around to hand over if the second amendment was ever repealled. That would take the heat of suspicion off of you.

At the school I worked for previously the nurse told me a good story. There is supposedly a bigfoot running around the mountains of Vermont. She is a Vermont girl and told me a good story. She has this cousin who is a bit of a clown and decided to play a good prank. He made a bigfoot suit and strate...

I'll agree with LilGun. It seems to be the best for the Hornet.

The topic of her race came up in my class setting today. One kid commented that we can't have a woman president. With the issues going on in the Middle East, they will not respect a woman as a national leader. He does have a point. I know according to Islamic law, a woman is considered to be one hal...

Can you hunt or shoot there? It does have an interesting topography.

The thought of her winning NH makes me sick to my stomach. In the past, NH was always a bastion of conservative independence. Now, it seems to have been invaded by yuppie-dink pukes from Massachusetts.I would like to see the district by district vote in NH. I can bet that the heavily populated south...

When I was a teenager, a number of us would keep our shotguns in cars or trucks to hunt after school was out. Never a problem. In fact, I would often keep my compound bow with hunting arrows in quivver in my locker. I'd walk home through some woodlands in the hopes of catching a deer by surprise. It...

My Dad and I drive up to the factory now and then and get different barrels fitted to our guns.

bigbore442001

Hmm. Okl. I know it seems odd but I don't own a lever action rifle but if I did for deep woods it would be this. A Marlin M1895 Guide Gun in 45-70, no muzzle brake. I'd equip it with a sling for carry when needed and an Aimpoint sight for fast shooting. I know the Aimpoint will amount to heresy for ...

bigbore442001

I don't see why a good Marlin Guide gun with Ashley peep sights would not work as well. In fact, something about that big 45-70 bullet gives me some confidence in the Maine woods.

bigbore442001

A cogent example of why you have to be armed in such areas. Imagine what would have happened if they did not have a firearm?

bigbore442001

I don't believe that Ruger revolvers are too heavy for field use. I have carried Super Blackhawks, Redhawks and Super Redhawks on an all day basis hunting and shooting. Never once complained about the wieght. To me it is sad to see a sturdy revolver go the way of the feckless dodo. I know that it wi...

I see Kittery Trading Post has a couple blued models and I saw an ad in Uncle Henry for a cap and ball revolver. I am not sure of the details on the Uncle Henry ad. I nay have to take a ride north after the next paycheck. I have a stainless one now but maybe a spare is a good idea. I know that it is...

These guys hunt the paper company lands of Maine. I have hunted there in the past and you can go for miles and not see another human track never mind a human being . Like I said, this style of hunting only works in certain places. It could never be used in some place like southern New England or the...

I wish I could find a way to take a whole month off to hunt. I don't think it will happen.

bigbore442001

The Benoits are well known in New England sporting circles. They have developed their tracking techniques over many years and have given many seminars, especially at the Worcester Sportsmans Show. Their technique works well but as you have stated isn't applicable everywhere. They hunt northern Maine...

I'd like to know who makes a cap and ball revolver as strong as the Ruger Old Army. I know that Uberti makes some nice replicas but are they as stout ? I know some will comment on the historical accuracy aspect but I am more of a shooter and hunter. Is there another replica that can be loaded with m...

bigbore442001

I don't believe that the Ruger Old Army is what you would call too modern in appearance or operation. I like the idea that it is the strongest cap and ball revolver out there. I wish that the money wasn't so tight right now,I'd get an extra.
