    Trespassers

    i grew up hunting PA and go back for bear & the first day of rifle season. must say that trespassing does happen but the guy shooting the video just blows it a bit out of proportion. I know of a few leases where the owner says "hey the guys are never there after the first week, you can go...

    LION

    I would have to go with a no & no. I don't muzzleloader hunt & don't bow hunt so not about to start with a lion. Jamila: i would offer to go as your dad's body guard since you don't sound thrilled... but I'm pretty sure the "pucker factor" would have me being worthless with anything short of...

    Brass Prep Machine

    going to start loading up some .223 for my sister and have decided brass prep using the rcbs tool that comes in the rock chuckar kit isn't worth it for doing a lot of brass. so what are you guys using, how many cases/hour, how many cases/year do you probably do, would you buy the one you have...

    Sugar on injured reserve

    hmmm, if she doesn't mind the new head gear maybe throw some padding under it for future hunts, protect her hearing and protect her head when she gets tunnel vision. glad all will be ok and hopefully you get some rainy days while she is healing up so you don't miss the fields too much

    Ten rounds yearly....maybe?

    Ksubuck: thanks for helping those that were willing to be helped. -some you can't help - number 2 I can commiserate with: I had my bil build my 338-06 w/ open sights and it certainly does change your distance perspective, I'm comfortable with a rest at 100 yards but much happier at 50 as the...

    Ten rounds yearly....maybe?

    i must say i'm guilty of not shooting enough this year. rode my horse every weekend except 2-3 from 2 weeks before memoral day until a week or two after labor day weekend and business has picked up for me. without any major trips planned I just grabbed the 280 or 22 when I saw a groundhog...

    Target Rifle

    very good deal, I figure it would be a good rifle for a parent with a few kids that hunts out of a stand. adjustable stock, so no need for a few rifles to grow in/out of just one high end rifle that can be shared

    Gear?

    after walking into a tree branch last year while doing a bear drive, safety glasses are pretty much a given for me while hunting, hiking, or horseback riding in the brush, need the eyes for work and play.

    Gear?

    hodgeman & others: why collapsible trekking poles vs a solid one? I've never had the need for them here in the east but can see the use for out west just figure if the weak point is the joint do away with it
