I checked out a lease this weekend that is a new club starting. 4400 acres, it's the old Graham hunting area just outside of Linden. Huge, beautiful place with great potential. There are several openings left, 24 people total. 675$ per year is very reasonable. Can camp on site. Contact info is Michael @ 865-684-6035 if anyone is interested.

Are there any good trail cameras for under $75?
Deerbnb replied to Randall53's topic in Hunting and Fishing
I have a couple of the wild game innovations blade 6 "lights out". They are doing a great job and don't spook the game. I think I gave about 80$ for the last one from Amazon -

#1 on the 7th. Double beard #2 this morning. What we refer to as a limb hanger. Nice long hooks. Great season so far. Good luck to everyone. Be safe. -
I would say I'm a hunter not a shooter. My trip was for fun and to make sure my new acquisition performed as it should. It performed fine, me on the other hand.....lol I did bust a few but I was certainly not happy with my performance. I had a blast though at a fine place to go shooting. In my best Arnold voice "I'll be back"

I did go Sunday and check out the trap range at Montgomery county complex. Very very nice facilities all the way around. I will however refer to the trap range as the "field of disappointment". Man i need practice.

Are you a hunting family? Shooting family? Both? If you are a hunting family that Rossi combo is hard to beat for that age group. I bought one for my youngest and it stands ready for grandchild action now. You can't go wrong with whatever you decide, a young persons first guns are ALL heirloom quality to them. Happy Birthday young man.

After much looking and tire kicking at the over priced usual haunts for used quality firearms I made a gunbroker purchase. I had a 50's model Belgium made Browning A5 for many years it was torn and tattered but served me well. Let it go in a moment of weakness and one of my other shotguns has been doing double duty for the last couple of years. I wasn't happy with that but managed. Found myself a 72 model in great shape at what I would consider a steal. I am looking forward to September 1. On a similar note I hear that the Montgomery county shooting complex has a nice range and offers sporting clays for even someone like myself who is normally a hunter not a "shooter". It is only 12 miles from my house I've passed it many times, anyone have any shotgunning experience there? I'd like to run my new toy thru the paces a bit. I did shoot a few in my back yard just to check operation since I bought a used sight unseen gun.

I shot a Mossberg plain ole extra full for years, killed many turkeys. Then went to a relatively cheap "undertaker" which was a bit better. I recently bought a hevi shot tube and took it to the patterning targets. WOW. I think maybe to tight. I like em up close and personal and it leaves little room for error. My advice if you go with a really tight choke, at least put a red dot or reflex sight on. Don't trust the old point and shoot with a bead method on close birds. I was humbled by a gobbler at 7 steps last season lol. (I can laugh about it now, not then)

One of the neatest things(to me) at that show every year is the custom labels from wild turkey bourbon. They will print you a label with your specific wording. All you do is apply it over the existing label. This year it was again for the "rare breed" bottle. Makes a great gift or conversation piece when you break out a bottle of your own label.

I have a Bodyguard .380, I love it. It does melt away. I have a set of custom pocket holsters for mine from Adams holsters. Absolutely the best move I've made holster wise.

The serial number is 126xxx and from a gentleman from another board he thinks it was "restocked in the field to a 1899 carbine spec" . I'm just a ignorant but curious old turkey hunter, I didn't even sleep in a Holiday inn last night.

I have a Springfield 1898, or actually my wife does. (It was the only firearm in a vault belonging to her grandfather when he died about 40 years ago) I have been in possession of it for about 20 years and winter boredom has turned to curiosity. That rifle has one smooth action. Anyway I have read a bit on the gun and it from the serial number search was made in 1898 (126xxx) and it has a 22" barrel, a "carbine" sight graduated to 2300 yards and a front sight that is not banded. Do we have anyone here that can tell me if it is actually a carbine or a cut down? I have seen a lot of info that is a bit confusing at best. It falls into the correct serial range from what I can find but I know that is not the tell all. Lil help. Thanks

I have one of those. Santa left under the tree for me about 1975ish, I was also 11. I recently acquired a new grandson, so in a few years he's going to get a new old shotgun that is full of experience. It was a squirrel and rabbit getting machine when I was a kid.
