    Women's hand gun for protection

    TJ, when I was teaching folks I would recommend they start with a double action revolver, every time they squeeze the trigger it goes bang. As they get more comfortable then move to semi-auto's and work with actions to take on jams, misfires, etc. My wife keeps a Ruger Speed Six handy, loaded with hot .357's. When I take her out practicing she uses light loads I made, then finishes off with a few rounds of hot loads.

    Could be either one. Killed a bull in Wy that didn't grow right on his left side, his offspring had the same type horn. Also seen seen odd antlers due to an injury. Go fish....

    Hunting with the aid of a Vehicle

    I've clammed up with them over the years. The new ones come out of the Police Academy with the mindset everyone is breaking laws and it is their duty to figure out how. Even had a couple old G&F friends make that statement, they said it takes about 5 years to get the academy out of them.

    closed thread! thx

    I like a peep that allows me to see the ring protecting the pins on the sight, then I center the ring within the ring and put the pin where I want it. Plus the large peep lets you see good enough to shoot a few minutes earlier and later.

    Hiking socks- what do you use

    good quality wool socks and polypro liners, liners aren't always necessary

    Grave Digger Testing

    website I used to visit, the guy(s) would take the shoulders off of roadkill and use the heads on them, got to see how the head worked with meat, muscle and sinew. Kris would also buy a pack of pork ribs for the steep qtring shots with expandables, was a good site, kinda died off a little now. How about some pics of what the head(s) looked like after going through the bone?

    Tripod mount for Vortex Viper

    I have the one from Outdoorsman's, bayonet stud you screw into the bino body, mount that it slips in to stays on the pistol grip or tripod head, run about $130 for the setup, worth it if you consider how many times it will be used over the years.

    Ground deer recipes

    Buy "Bruce Aidell's Complete Sausage Book", it has about 50 recipes from 2 to 5 lb batches, pretty easy since you have the hard part done, just measure and mix the spices to the ground meat

    Savage Model 24 combo gun in 22mag/20 gauge

    Wish it was .222rem and 20 ga., I'd snatch it up. My step-brother stole the one from my Grandfather and hocked it.

    Fire near Young!

    here is a website I hit a lot, it gets updated more often than the Govt sites in my opinion. The fire is called the Poco fire. http://wlfhotlist.com/showthread.php?27234-AZ-TNF-Poco
  24. I like the size, have an old one from 99 that I am using, about time to upgrade it
  25. Thanks. Have you compared long distance ranging with other brands?
