    favorite season

    Late Fall and Winter for me because it's duck season. I love looking out of my bedroom window at 4am seeing gray skies, howling wind, and spitting snow. Theres nothing like drinking that hot cup of coffee as you get your gear together and head out to the car. As you walk across the ice and...

    Hunting!!

    Depending on where you are located (I don't know if your in the states or not) you can usually contact the issueing agency and obtain a replacement. stonewalljon, What kind of .303 do you have? I used to have an old Lee-Enfield No.1 Mk.3 that was a hoot to shoot. But ammo was hard to...

    Cheney completely cleared in hunting accident (Media still trys to spin event.)

    Kinderbee, When I was watching the news the Texas Wildlife & Fisheries guy, said that he did have a hunting license. He just didn't have the $7 upland game hunting stamp. The wildlife guy also said that the stamp is new this year and that there is usually an unwritten rule that violators of...

    Cheney completely cleared in hunting accident (Media still trys to spin event.)

    True, and here is an interesting VIDEO about just that This really depends on the choke (bore constriction at the end of the barrel) of the gun. If Cheney was shooting a cylinder choke all he would have to do is point the gun in the general direction. If he was shooting a full choke he...

    Cheney Accidentally Shoots Fellow Hunter

    Wow, you need to retake a hunter's safety course if you hunt in that manner. Before you ever put your finger inside the trigger guard to take a shot you need to verify what is beyond you intended target. And before you jump on my case about never hunting, I am an avid hunter and I shoot...

    I think this is a hunting question?

    Kangaroo hide is legal depending on what state you are in. For instance it is illegal to ship kangaroo hide hunting boots to California. (found that out after reading the warning in the Cablela's catalog, thank goodness I don't live in CA)

    Hunting!!

    I'm also a bigtime hunter. While I enjoy deer hunting, my real passion is for bird hunting, especially waterfowl. To me there is nothing greater than sitting in a duck blind early in the morning. What type of target shooting do you do? I personally could never get into the rifle sports but...

    WHO stops hiring tobacco users

    My question with the WHO's new hiring practices is what about an expert in a field who also smokes. Hypothetically if there was an expert in another field, say HIV, that smokes what would the WHO gain from not hiring them. Is saying that you are a smoker free organization more important than...

    Question to enthusiasts...

    The only rimfire .22 cartridge that I know of that is smaller than a .22 mag and larger than a 22 long rifle is called the Winchester Rimfire which is abbreviated WRF. That might be the shell you are looking for they sell them here...

    Yep, Hurrican Isabel I was at the Virginia Tech vs. Texas A&M game during the hurricane. It was crazy fun and colder than heck. I'll never forget that night.

    The Hunting Lodge

    Another hunter here: I really like to hunt with a shotgun so consequently my favorite things to hunt are birds (ducks, geese, doves, etc.), rabbits, and squirrels. I also do a little whitetail hunting but it doesn't have near the appeal to me as sitting in a duck blind all day. By the way...

    Any Other Tree Lovers?

    I love to cut them down and make stuff out of them :D (I'm a Wood Science & Forest Products major). Seriously though, I'd say walnut trees because they make beautiful lumber and I like to eat walnuts.
