Nice Earle. Do you enjoy hunting Maine as much as you did Alaska ? Did you hunt the Blacktail's when you were in Alaska ? You possibly have a larger cliental base on the east coast than you had in Alaska, I would imagine. you have had a great hunting life and your still going strong...

Gil and Mike great stories from days gone by, thank you Fotis, wish I had one or both ---- 32-40 and 38-55, My Dad had a 30-30 and it was one of the first centerfire rifles I used. He kept it leaning against the door jam, just inside the back door. Simpler time's for sure. My son still has it.

I agree with Elkman Rodger, unless it is a rifle, or shotgun that was your Dad's or Granddad's, all bets are off , at least for me. I would only keep it if it was something I liked and would use--otherwise I would always remember that my sisters deceased husband gave me the opportunity to have...

Frank, the short answer is "boys will be boys" and thank God for that. Is something better or just different --rifle calibers, car engines, etc. Like Bear mentioned, some are just fun to shoot and like Dewey mentioned he just enjoys playing around with different builds and loads.. But if...

John, you will get several different suggestions and they will all be good ones-- Browning, Remington, Benelli are used by a lot of goose hunters.

thanks for the replies michigan and maverick,----- and cheaper ( the shotgun is cheaper than a mistress lol ) Don, I mentioned before, at this stage in my life, you would be getting the sour end of the deal. I am one day away from neending full time care lol Michigan, those Benelli's are...

It happens, but hopefully next year will be your year, all you guys who had tag soup this year I hope will have great years next year. BTW, it can and does get worse--you want to but are unable to. This is my first year of not physically being able to hunt and I have accepted it...

I agree, I obviously did not state my case correctly. However, I will take anyone rifle, shotgun, muzzleloader, bow hunter--as long as they are polite and can/want to contribute, I would think that is o.k. I doubt very few hunters, even those using a bow, or shotgun does not also have a...

Your son will be a very happy . They are nice shotguns. I love it when a father and son find mutual interests that will let them "do" together for years to come. Some if my fondest memories of dad, is when we hunted together. And, thank you for your kind reply to my shotgun thread. Guy, not...

+ 1 I am not going to list all the calibers I have used, I doubt if I could even remember all the calibers I have used. Trips to Argentina, New Zealand, Australia, Europe, and Africa, sometimes were "add on" days to business trips to other countries, or if we finished business early in one of...

My granddaughter wanted to put skeeters in one of my shotguns and I am not a skeeter fan. They work "o.k." in a 12 to 20 and even 28, but not 410. Actually I am not a 410 fan either. Another problem with skeeter is digging out the shells or hulls. Then you have the weight of the shotgun...

that is great Gil. a 200 Swift out of the 348 within 200 yards is all one would need for even the biggest and baddest in North America Scotty and Cheyenne use the 250 gr Woodleigh and they have knocked down bears, buffalo, muskox, moose, walrus and a whole slew of water jugs, so your 200 gr...

I need to quit posting Gil. I counted them twice and thought I included the three not in the pictures and still got it wrong. Plus I didn't get the who owned what correctly. God I hate old age !!!!!!! Regardless of the number of them you have, it is a superb collection. Well done young...

Gil, if I counted correctly you have 15 and are looking for 3 more. 18 lever rifles is a very nice collection and certainly you are covered from top to bottom. The one lever we have owned for a long time is the Savage 99-G 250/3000, with the internal rotary mag. It might be one you might...

Beautiful collection Gil. Congratulations. That collection would make any rifle crank jealous!

Frank, that is a vey sweet set up you have and it fits what you want to hunt perfectly. Very Nice! Also, Dr Mike and Earle will get a kick out of my next statement--"finally, someone else besides me that likes S & B " lol John, I have never tracked a wounded leopard, but I know those who...

Jamila, only those with small minds will have no interest in things they have no knowledge of. Drillings are an entirely different type of firearm, but like muzzleloaders, doubles, AK,s, combinations, etc, they are firearms, that are still made today--in Germany and not far from where Frank...

She got her Ibex. Not a trophy class but she got one. Then her mother and I surprised her with a Fallow deer hunt. This is an easy hunt in Spain, but still one more animal that has fallen to her little 7mm-08. We topped it off with a day of Partridge hunting. They just left and I think I...

Jimbries, I think ones style of hunting depends on where and what they are hunting. I dont believe I have a favorite "style", but "adapted" to the "hunt". as an example sir-- "tracking" in Africa, "spot and stalk on ski;s" in Sweden, "Dog.s" ( for cougar ) in Old Mexico, "calling". while in...

I dont know if Dan was thinking this way or not Dr Mike, but that is exactly what I had in mind. Thank you for the name. I never had one --does anybody, are they as good as they look ?
