    WTB 410 single shot

    The guy wants a 410, why is this a debate? Good Lord

    ISO WTB 17 HORNET, 17 REMINGTON OR FIREBALL

    That's cool, I have never seen one before either. I ordered mine when I worked at a gun shop back in mid 90s. I sold to a guy that actually moved to Fargo. I had a model seven youth stock for it that I ordered and then the full size stock that came with it. My kid shot his first pig with it with the youth stock. I'll reach out to him and see if by chance he is looking to sell it.

    ISO WTB 17 HORNET, 17 REMINGTON OR FIREBALL

    I used to have a model seven in 17rem. Fun lightweight predator and pig gun. If you hit bone, it leaves a big hole, if you double lung it leaves a very little hole (pigs, foxes and coyote). A lot of speed in a very small barrel. If you are only talking about centerfires, I agree, I've always wanted a 17 hornet.

    WTB 410 single shot

    I've shot a couple snakes with 22lr snake shot (both times out of 4" pistol) and it only pissed them off and makes them come harder at me, luckily I carried stingers as an e/o and those do the trick. I don't know if there an effective range for that stuff out of a handgun or not, but I'm not going to do any studies on it. +1 on the 410+ for me or a big rock always works.

    Comet Neowise Visible after Sunset

    Last night about 9pm it was easy to find in the NW sky. It looks like it is getting higher in the horizon as the week goes on. But I can't find what is the optimal viewing time? From what I saw last night, it was not as cool as the pictures I see online and binos were better viewing than the spotter. I'm guessing there maybe a better time of night?

    ISO 17hmr

    Boarman I have the A22 (wanted the 22mag for a bit more ft/lbs for coyotes) and had the same problem.. talked to Savage and they sent me the newer style mags and haven't had a problem since. They changed mag design a bit sometime late last year so depends when they funneled out of the old ones and when you got yours. And yes the A22 shoots the best and hits as hard or harder than anything else I have shot through it. Anyway the mags are bullet proof for me so far! My son has the 17wmr and it kills everything, but I wanted to play with the semi auto so went 22wmr vs 17hmr. I wish they would make that 17wmr in that format. Great shooting rifle.

    Sad news- Hoghunter

    I've sold him a few things over the years and always a gracious guy and wanted to discuss whatever was on his mind. His message for prayers the other day when going in actually made me pause when I first read it if he was feeling more anxious than normal over this one. Either way what a horrible shame and my prayers to his family.

    Concert Tickets

    Ticketmaster and 1st party providers have been great, but those that resell only I have found to only push credits and not refunds.

    Concert Tickets

    One piece of advice about stubhub (and I'm sure some other resellers) especially right now with so many cancellations, is that some only refund a credit to be used at a later date if the event is cancelled.

    Arizona pronghorn rut/archery

    We have found very buck specific and situational. Definitely not an automatic but feels like a good tool for the tool box. 3 years ago in 10 it worked on 3 bucks, although we ended up killing behind a moo cow and last year it did not work on any that I can recall and killed on a spot in stalk in 5. Fun hunts with lots of opportunity for trial and error after error after error.

    BUSH FIRE!!!!

    This is probably an unpopular opinion but accidents don't always equal idiots. The lady that was lost for a couple days and started a singal fire for example, isnt that what you are supposed to do? When she was rescued, as I recall, the fire was very manageable at that time and was left to be dealt with by another crew and by the time they got there it was unmanageable. The rescue helicopter probably fanned the flames as they flew away! This guy driving back from Payson and his car catches fire....kind of hard to blame him, shoot happens. He didn't punch a hole in his gas tank and flip a cigarette in it. The out of work fire fighter on the res....that's an idiot. I would guess every 3rd car coming down 260 is some dude in birkenstocks, or suckencocks as I call them, that are ill equipt to handle a situation but that's just how it is, but luckily they don't cause too much damage other than driving in the left lane. My .02 anyway. Thanks to all the firefighters. Bad asses!

    10x50els or 10x42 ELs?

    I have used the 8.5els since they came out. I love the 8.5s for hand/chest pair and then glass with the 15s. Most of my hunting partners defaulted to the 10s, but honestly I don't notice any advantage in the 10s when hand glassing.. I'm not able to see anymore detail with the extra 1.5X but I do feel more forgiveness with 1.5x less. I did own a pair of 10x50slc that I absolutely loved, but too heavy and bulky so the 10x50els maybe the ultimate, but I don't have any personal experience. I would go with 8.5s again every time over the 10sx42s though. My preference anyway.

    A Man & His Dog

    Pets at Peace. 602-818-6999. Dr Tiffany. She did everything perfect. Quiet, caring, took time to explain every step. Stood back when she needed too to allow us time and shared so much empathy. I'm sorry you need her but she made it as peaceful an experience as it possibly could be. I'll never drop one off at a vet again. Worth a little more.

    A Man & His Dog

    If it helps, we used a in home euthanesia for the first time and dr was absolutely amazing and brought some peace to know she was comfortable until the end. Happy to recommend her.

    A Man & His Dog

    Well crap. We literally just put my son's lab down at 4:17pm today. He got her when he was 12 and that was 12 Christmases ago. Abby was an amazing companion, hunting partner, and family member. Thanks for posting at such an opportune time. dang old dogs, they suck you in every time. Not sure I can show him this yet but in time.
