    Afghanistan

    I am curious if others here who have served react to movies like American Sniper the way my brother did. We started to watch it and about 1/2 hour in, my brother said "sorry sis I can't do this". So I looked for a different movie that we could watch together. BTW, this didn't just happen, it...

    Afghanistan

    I am sorry that your brother has and is having a hard time adjusting since having served. I thank him for his service and wish him well. However in regards to the last sentence of your post. I think I would have simply said "he fought for our freedom of speech" Which he did and we thank him...

    What Would Be Your Rifle of Choice for Such an Adventure

    and I agree, with all points I would prefer a gun for each "type" of hunt and even at my young age, have several. But, the original question was--what ONE gun would you take into the mountains and in that case I still think a combo---- shotgun, for birds, small game and a rifle, maybe a 308...

    What Would Be Your Rifle of Choice for Such an Adventure

    I love it and ask my father to buy it for me. He ask me why he should. I told him as a reward for not getting pregnant, or on drugs while in college. He told me my reward was not being pregnant and on drugs ! I would like to get one. To me, they seem like a better option than the...

    Touch base with your military vets that served in the Sandbox.

    My brother served in Afghanistan and my grandfather in Viet Nam. The one thing they have in common is neither of them ever talk about their tours of duty. Not in any detail or at length anyway. My brother seems different the last few days. Distant, sullen, maybe even irritated, it is hard...

    Diners, Gas Stations, Truck Stops, and Dives

    Victoria Falls is on my list of things to see when in Africa. On Route 66 in Texas, The Big Texas Steak Ranch, is still in operation. It is always a fun experience I agree, this is an amazing place ! When we were in Nome, Alaska, the baked products at Pingo were amazing

    TSA and things that shouldn't be in your carry on

    Three of us girls were headed to Vegas to a bachelorette party. Two of us had no idea that our running mate had purchased several adult toys and had them in her carry on. When asked, who does this bag belong to ?

    Grizzly Experiences

    Salmonchaser and Panda Bear : Your up! :) I have encountered them both when fishing and hunting. Some bluff charges but never anything life threatening. I tend to not challenge them when fishing. If they want the spot I am in, I let them have it. Never had any issues when hunting them...

    Good Ol’ Days vs. Today?

    Hunting : right now. Alaska is a wonderful place to be for a young person who likes to hunt, But, I miss Texas : Local musicians in every dive, rodeos, livestock auctions, horse shows, smoker trailers, trucks with a dog, rifle and saddle in the back seat, fast draw club, river walk in San...

    Straight Talk: Time to Rethink the Drinking Age

    Willm1313 and Vikingsguy were my role models when I went to our local insurance agent with my graphs, research and argument . The fact that men between the ages of 16 to 20 have twice as many fatal accidents, and three times a many between 20 to 25 did not impress our agent enough to lower my...

    Straight Talk: Time to Rethink the Drinking Age

    He possibly was going to start a thread and saw that his question had already been asked in a previous thread, so elected to revive it rather than start a new thread and lose the input form those who posted 14 years ago. It is interesting to see the mindset of those posting then and now The...
