  1. Lacross alpha mine are the 1000 gram thin ultra and are perfect for turkey as well as early deer season but there are many brands.
  2. I am not a golfer but that is awesome
  3. hate to hear that. The family has my sympathy as do you,
  4. I usually see them while in the deer stand so I hunt them from a tree stand and take the AR 15 works like a charm rabbit distress call and a stuffed animal tied to some fishing line and a bungee cord for movement.
  5. I swear to defend the constitution of the United States from all enemies foreign and domestic. This document starts We the people and continues to state ensure domestic tranquility and provide for the common defense. I wonder how this would be taken if martial law was instated.
  6. Are these guys oblivious to the numbers anti gun laws vs. violent crime rate seem to go hand in hand.
  7. Perhaps I'm crazy but I love the snow it takes me back to when I was a kid. I remember hunting with Dad and my kid brother, I actually went rabbit hunting with a buddy of mine had a blast but only got two bunnies not as many as there once were around here. Love the fluffy stuff.
  8. the possibility is there, I also saw the article on possible impeachment of the president. If martial law is enacted then it could lead to military control and ultimately disarmament of the people via force and isn't that what Obama wants. Impeachment may be a better option and according to the link posted there may be sufficient evidence to move forward. I fear martial law would divide the nation and could sink into another civil war. Just my 2 cents
  9. Liability is the issue with selling. I have loaded a few for friends but only minimum loads, I don't want to damage a friends gun or worse.
  10. I reload due to cost as well as necessity the 357, 40 s&w .223 are easy enough to find if you look but when was the last time anyone saw a box of 458 socom at the local gun shop and if you did were they sure weren't in the $1.00 a shot range. Saves me a bundle on all the rounds I load and they are more accurate as well.
  11. Martin cougar magnum about a 1979-81 vintage super accurate but also super slow
  12. Congratulations I have 1 girl and she is just as at home in the woods as I am. I do worry about the teen years yet to come but for now she is my favorite hunting buddy.
  13. Racial equality should be a two way street would this case have gotten the same press if both people were of the same race or even if the situation was reversed. I have to ask if the president would have commented if both were white, black, Hispanic, etc. I do feel the need say that I don't wish to offend anyone as this is only a question and I would hope no one would think me a racist based on this comment.
  14. sounds like a hog roast waiting to happen if you ask me I will give up a deer for a hog or two.
  15. This is one of those things that I have often wondered I have been to state parks and had deer walk within inches of me, as well as walk within yards of me(and several others) at a back yard BBQ possibly due to the familiarization with people being no threat or a source for food. I think that this behavior is developed over years of association with people and would take quite some time for them to overcome their instincts, much more than months and would involve not only scent but sight conditioning as well and an added incentive such as food that would give them reason to ignore the man=bad instinct. Hunters also give off predator cues while in the woods such as posture and behavior, this is why camo companies make money just like the companies that make scent killing supplies.
  16. Happy birthday Steve hope it is a good one
  17. prayers sent wish his family the best
  18. I carry a S&W MP40 full size as a rule but have an inexpensive EAA 380 for fishing just in case I fall in. On a different matter is the IL ccw permit valid in Chicago and surrounding area and has anyone heard the ruling on out of state CC ?
  19. We are starting to see a little more ammo on the shelves may not be the brand or variety that you want but it is on the shelf
  20. they are sent. Hope you are OK Steve
  21. I am skeptical of many things (bigfoot, Nessie, Yetty) but I have experienced some things that I can't explain just to name a few UFO's, alligators in the local lake, and how the neighbors dog can be so small and leave such a large...well anyway just because something is unlikely doesn't mean impossible I once saw al light in the middle of a field from a tree stand that seemed to have no source, that is to say there was no person there in the dim light of an Indiana morning. Anything is possible.
  22. Hope it was spent well and went even better.
  23. I have said it before. Go south young man, and you will find a land where the fishing is slightly less but the local gun shop will hand you a firearm with a smile and a get a good feeling of the weapon prior to purchase NO waiting period just a quick bg check and the ccw permit is only a few months away for the non felon, no formal class needed and we even allow for the NFA weapons with the local peace officers signature. Yes sir the land you seek is the great state if Indiana, where Dem. and Rep. are both packing. You can even camp in my yard until you can find a place to stay how's that for hospitality.
  24. I would agree with Pothash I have had several people that I have taught to shoot and would recommend shooting to favor the dominant eye. A friend of mine actually shoots a shotgun right handed and a rifle left handed per my instruction and his groupings shrank drastically and he stuck with it actually purchased a left handed AR
