    Best hunting sidearm?

    Ruger SP-101 chambered for 327 Fed mag. If you reload, it’s very economical to shoot. If you don’t, get familiar with ordering ammo online. You can choose factory loads from 600fps all the way up to 1450. S&W 32longs, 32H&R Mag, and of course 327Fed. Think 22mag up to and beyond 9mm+p. Some...

    Hey captain dipshit! Wrap your chains!

    I drive those tractor trailer rigs. I’ve done so for 28 years, recaps aren’t a problem. Tractor and trailer get one set of virgin rubber (steer tires excluded). Since the installation of auto inflate systems on our trailers tire problems are nill. Under inflation causes heat and that is what...

    Just Bought A 41 Magnum Revolver, Anybody else shoot one?

    I’ve had a .41 Blackhawk for some time now. Primarily Ive used it to make my knuckle hurt. Lighter loads and the ugliest Hogue grips you’ll ever see helped immensely. I like the round, it’s no .44 mag but you know know you’ve done something when a round torches off.

    Calling 911---tell us your stories

    Years ago the neighbor lost his home during the mortgage crisis. Drinking coffee I see someone back up to the rear of the place. Gets out grabs a drill and a couple other hand tools and proceeds to drill the lock and Jimmy the door open. About this time I get this “see something say something“...

    What firearms would to take travelling around the USA, going into both anti and pro states ?

    Ithaca Deerslayer or equivalent in 20ga. Ruger SP-101 3” barrel, I like 327Fed but 38 would be good enough. in addition I would invest in a quality security system for both the truck and camper. Study the reality of the states you will travel in. Having your firearms locked away securely and...

    SIG SAUER P320-XTEN 10MM

    Here in Southern MN. I’ve picked up nearly 600 rds in the last month or so. I’d planned on getting supplies to load for it, but at that price I just keep buying loaded ammo and hoard the brass. It’s S&B and Magtech I think, it’s all gone bang, and for break in I could care less. Shelf has never...

    SIG SAUER P320-XTEN 10MM

    Might look into that ammo cost again. Locally I’m finding 10mm and .40 S&W are priced identical, $24.95/50. Got into a 10mm 1911 recently, scratching 2 itches at the same time. If I’d waited a week a SIG would undoubtedly gotten the ride home.

    Gout flareup - Shoot me now.

    Oh those green miracle capsules. I was told they were not prescribe me any more of them. Not particularly good for the rest of me. That’s where the alpurinol every morning came into my life.

    Gout flareup - Shoot me now.

    Alpurinol after the flair up has passed. Living on the edge of flair ups is not a very good solution. Strangely enough ice tea threw me over the edge, every spring coffee slacked and ice tea by the gallon. Early June I was a hurting camper. Took 5 years to truly connect the 2. But I was on the...

    Why Does Deer Meat Taste Gamey

    Not sure I can prove it. But I believe hunting season coinciding with acorn drop causes much of it, around here anyway. The very late season venison has always had a “cleaner” taste. Belly’s were full of corn and winter wheat, the acorns having long since cleaned up.

    What is the dumbest thing that someone has ever asked/said while you were hunting?

    I’m going to go see what’s on the other side of that blowdown.

    Covid positive 11 days before leaving for montana elk hunt

    Pretty much my experience on hunting 10 days after Covid contact and confirmation. Didn’t leave but wow, I’ve made better decisions in life. It was my second go around, first being greatly worse. Last fall was just a weak and short of breath bout, coughing wasn’t to bad considering. Later Dr...

    Glishing?

    Fun trip with the Grandma Grandson. A 1st grader can eat his weight in snacks, jerky and fried eggs. Buddy was generous enough to lend me use of his Ice Castle. Getting a nice collection of slot Walleyes. 18” pictured.

    Winch or Diff?

    Without the lockers you’ll use the winch more often. Without the winch you’ll be walking more. Lockers are much easier on the vehicle and the land when deployed properly, allowing you to slow down in a bunch of places that would require speed for momentum to get through. The winch? 2 words…...

    How did you take up hunting?

    A neighborhood friend and his parents when you get right down to it. An uncle hunted casually dad hunted before I was old enough, granddad waterfowl hunted but passed away before I could get involved. The neighbors bowhunted and we’re always practicing. Dad gave me his sons bow to use and that...

    Wax Paper Meat Wrap

    Only thing that comes to mind is the physical strength. Stuff in my freezer starts taking a beating about 4 months in. I guess if I knew the wrap was delicate maybe I’d be more delicate myself.

    Case knife as Christmas gift

    Add in a user to go with the collector. Going to be a very hard sell to convince a kid that 2 knives in a box are worth more than one in your pocket (or lost in the neighborhood). I heartily agree with your sentiments though. My grandson has at least 4 knives in a box I’ve put back for him. A...

    Buying American again.

    Aspiring to be your best is great and if an education brings your best once again great. For way too many an education is beyond their abilities. Those kids need a good “factory job”. A good tradesman, hell an average tradesman is a godsend these days. We need more efforts put towards promotion...
