Two new elk hunters, a breath of fresh air
That is totally up to you to decide. But I would offer some quotes by Aldo Leopold first. ://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/43828.Aldo_Leopold On another note, when I was about 15 I bought a subscription to Outdoor Life. I paid for it picking stones out of a just plowed field. I got $1 dollar...- Mustangs Rule

Two new elk hunters, a breath of fresh air
I’m so lucky to have found them. Two new elk hunters who want to be part of nature not at the center of it. Close to 40, strong, lean with clean spirits. Have taken one cow elk each, neither would feed their kids meat seasoned with lead, or leave toxic gut piles in the field Not gun nuts...- Mustangs Rule

Regarding the Bristol, Connecticut Shooting.
As a field biologist I recognize there are plants and animals called "indicator species" They could be as small as the Delta smelt or as big as a tiger. a bighorn sheep or an endangered tropical orchid. Within their existence they indicate critical details about a much larger story, which it is...- Mustangs Rule

Elvira. The Terminator, Dracula, Hells Angles, Zorro, Black Mamba, Darth Vader, The Power of the Dark Side. Compared to a Black Rifle,, a wooden stocked Mini 14 looks like a little league baseball bat.- Mustangs Rule

Regarding the Bristol, Connecticut Shooting.
I was just thinking about how the Ruger mini 14 has just avoided being on so many state assault rifle ban lists. Like this rifle just avoided all the flak. I had heard that the Ruger Co. decided not to produce any more factory mags over 5 rounds but there are still so many after market hi cap...- Mustangs Rule

Regarding the Bristol, Connecticut Shooting.
I own 9 guns made in my home state of Connecticut. 3 Winchesters, 3 Colts, 1 Charter Arms, a Marlin model 39. and a Ruger Single 6. I have toured the Colt factory and the Winchester Museum. All of us who lived there, hunted, used firearms had a deep sense of state pride. That has so changed...- Mustangs Rule

Regarding Beautiful Hunting Rifles
When the weather is dry, I hunt with my blue and walnut rifles. When it is lousy, which means WET, I hunt with one of my stainless synthetic stocked rifles. When really cold, that equals dry, I also go with blue and walnut. With full retirement I have moved to and live right in big game...- Mustangs Rule

Regarding Beautiful Hunting Rifles
I really do get the merit of a synthetic stock. I have two such rifles. Also I have a Safari grade Browning with gorgeous highly figured French walnut stock. It took a lot of work $$$ glass bedding the barrel channel to have it right on stable but it is now such that POI never moves. Ohh that...- Mustangs Rule

I bet you could take a scraping off the stock and do a DNA test on it that would test positive for your family.- Mustangs Rule

Regarding Beautiful Hunting Rifles
Just look at the price of used original wooden grips for Colt and S&W revolvers. They are 2 or 3 or even 4X's the cost of new synthetic grips. and if you buy new wooden grips they do not fit well. I just went through that dance. And if a tool is a just tool. What would rather have. A vintage...- Mustangs Rule

And I just finished building my home. cabinets, doors and moldings with these tools, many of which are better than anything I could now buy.

Regarding Beautiful Hunting Rifles
Wow, you and I could not disagree more about tools. One side of my family were farmers who built their own homes and barns. The other side were carpenters and builders. My personal tools go back 3 generations. They were used and held by my father, uncles and grandfathers. Many are period...- Mustangs Rule
