I checked on line and found I drew a bull tag for Wyoming.

Now to start getting in shape.

OK, Here's another one: A blonde woman gets pulled over by a blonde female traffic cop. The cop asks for ID and the driver looks confused. The cops tells her, "It the thing in your purse with your picture on it." She fumbles around in her purse and takes out her compact mirror. She opens i...

A broken vacuum cleaner......that sucks. Wait, I guess it doesn't.

I have a Leupold scout scope on my lever and it works great. At work I have a Leupold Mark 4 CQT. It's made for AR's but I believe it would hold up to a big bore. Problem is it's price - about $600. It magnifies up to 3x and has a circle/dot reticle that can illuminate to various brightness. Good lu...

And castration beats getting shot!!!!

Cocked & Locked, You're correct on the tent. I got it from Cabelas about 8 years ago because of the height, (9' center). It's nice to be able to stand up to get dressed rather than go outside at 5am! And one of those small buddy heaters heats it up in a few minutes.

jkbrea

Wes, I don't reload yet although I want to start someday. I've never had a 45-70 before so I don't have another to compare with but I've been amazed at the accuracy of this rifle. I had it cut down for packing in dense brush and game trails plus the larger loop fits better when I wear gloves. The 24...

Not really much of a story. I only got to hunt for 20 minutes. We were walking to our usual spot and about 15 minutes from reaching it I saw this cow feeding about 100 yards up on the side of a hill. I got into a short argument with my brother whether I should shoot it or not. I really enjoy hunting...

I still have about 10 years to go. Hell, if I knew I'd live this long, I would have taken better care of myself

I think there reincarnated ex-wives.

Sorry Ysabel, couldn't resist.

jkbrea

This one!!!

jkbrea

DennisB, you are lucky to have a place near Ennis. I love that place. Sure would like to retire out there someday.

jkbrea

Another reason I believe it's Jacksonhole is that I hunted elk just north of the refuge in November a few years back and had to drive by all those elk that were off limits everyday for a week, so I got a really good look of them.

jkbrea

I'm not 100% sure but I'm almost positive it's the elk refuge in Jacksonhole, Wyoming. I took several pictures of it when I was there in the winter and it looks an awful lot like this picture. Beautiful place.

jkbrea

win94, That is a nice setup. My marlin 45-70 is similar. I have the ghost ring sights and a quick release on the XS rail and it works great. You can remove it and when you replace it, the zero is dead on. I've removed mine several times and it still hits right on.

jkbrea

alnitak,
I don't know how i got lumped into the group that is attacking you. I simply made a statement as to MY observation and experience and it was in response to the original post. I did not intend it to be directed to you or your post. Your are entitled to your opinion as I am to mine.

jkbrea

I have hunted in N/W Wyoming every year for the past 18 years for elk. There is no doubt in my mind they are devastating the elk and moose population. Where I hunt I have actually seen more elk than usual because the wolves are pushing them further south, but that's temporary. The moose on the other...

I once bought my wife a 60" big screen TV for Mother's Day. What a mistake. She didn't fall for it.

jkbrea

Can you solve this puzzle? You are riding on a beautiful white horse. On your left is a drop off. On your right side are several ostriches being chased by a lion. In front of you are four large gazzelles that won't get out of the way and you can't seem to overtake them. Behind you is a stampede of h...

jkbrea

I think they do mean airsofts. Some of the more expensive ones hit prertty hard and can break skin up close. The cheap ones have a slide you manually operate and the pricey ones are either green gas or co2. I've seen kids having airsoft wars in the neighborhoods. Still, for a father to shoot a littl...

I was surprised at all the comments about not watching or playing sports other than shooting. I don't know why I'm surprised, not that it's bad or good, just kind of unexpected. Some sports bore me but I really like watchig football and hockey. Hockey is a great sport to watch live but boring on TV....

jkbrea

and the Giants were a wild card team. That's only been done three times.

jkbrea

Mossberg did make a .22 lever. I bought one a few years back for $50 from a woman. It shoots great. Right now I can't remember if if has a safety but it is a shooter. I'll post a pic when I go home.

jkbrea

Rexster, I know I have a low post count but I've actually been a member for over a year, (from the old site). I just read and learn mostly. I've even bought a few levers since joining,.... two of them from members

.
Thanks for the welcome.

jkbrea

Rexter, I too like the Sig and that is what we issue. Officers are also allowed to carry any other double action quality handgun between 9mm and .45. (no magnums). Some officers came from departments that carried 1911's and are far comfortable shooting them. Others want to switch over. It would be a...

jkbrea

Charles...you're absolutely right. That's why I want them to carry what they are more comfortable with,(within reason), and not limit them to what an administrator who hasn't worked the streets for 10-15 years thinks. Poohgyrr, I got the info from Tacoma and used it. Thanks Also I don't think it's a...

jkbrea

J Miller, Yes I did. I found many great articles about 1911's but I was searching for one specifically aimed at the pros and cons of using it for police work. I'll check again. Thanks.

jkbrea

I am looking for some help. I need to write a proposal to my boss as to why we should allow our men and woman to carry a single action 1911 .45. I think they should carry what they are comfortable with as long as it's a high quality weapon. Some administrators are afraid of the 1911 being cocked and...

jkbrea

I just picked up a Springfield 1911 EMP. It's a beautiful little 9mm and very accurate. As I was going over all the paperwork that came with it, I was reading the "consumer safety warnings". The pistol came with a belt holster. It actually states, "Do not holster a pistol that has a r...

jkbrea

It just seems to me if someone personalized a rifle like that, they would keep it or hand it down to a relative. A lot of time went into that, but like Old Savage said, Not for me.

jkbrea

JReed, I don't know which endorsements you are talking about but I know most, if not all California police agencies have a strict policy against it. A So Cal police chief is may be getting fired over this issue. Some campaign ads will use a similar uniform with no department patches or department ba...

mod71alaska, For some reason I my home computer won't let me send out an e-mail so I PM'd you. I can receive e-mail but my outlook express is messed up.

jkbrea

I can't take it anymore! I'll buy it. You know, for the past 15 years I've hunted elk with a scoped Tikka 7mm Rem Mag. Then about a year and a half ago I find this site. Shot this year's elk with a Marlin 45-70 and bought my first Winchester from a forum member a few months back. My youngest son saw...

jkbrea

Tutt, I spent New Years Eve and Day in Ocotillo Wells. Took my son to ride his motorcycle. It was very crowded because of Christmas Break. I'm taking him back in a few weeks. Most people behave there. Glamis is the place that gets a little crazy.

jkbrea

Ysabel, I even asked my boss if I could contact the woman and buy the lever but was told no. And it is almost unbearable to watch the guns being melted down. Next time you buy rebar, you may be holding a John Wayne commemerative lever gun in your hands.

jkbrea

At work a woman turned in a Marlin 336 30-30, no safety. It was a little banged up but in good working order, no rust, clean bore. It is to be destroyed along with a NIB Winchester shotgun and a Sterling pistol. Says she's afraid her husband would use it against her because he's abusive and mental. ...

jkbrea

Dude, I wasn't trying to pick a fight or offend. Your second post was definitely thought out and I do not question your sincerity. I just don't agree with the comparison. You became a citizen and served which says alot for you. But your decision to leave for your beliefs invalidates your comparison....

jkbrea

How can you compare Hitler with Bush? Hitler was set on world dominatin. If the US wanted to take over Iraq, it would have been done long ago using Hitler's tactics. Making that comparison is comparing US soldiers and marines to SS soldiers. We're not rounding up civilians and killing them or trying...

I have carried several small off duty guns in the past such as Smith Airweights and baby Glocks. They were ok but I have large hands and I hated my little finger hanging under the grip. Also the Glocks were a little wide and stuck out when wearing just a t-shirt. Recently I had a chance to shoot a f...

I also read most posts but rarely reply. Sure learn alot though. Picked up three levers since joining. You all just might get me into reloading now if I can find the time.

jkbrea

I use them on the range but never when hunting, but I noticed that when shooting at game,I could barely hear the round. I guess it's the adrenalin or something to do with the excitement. Yesterday a partner of mine shot at a charging dog with a .45. I was about 8 feet away. It sounded like a small p...
