10-Ring

Just got my dad his first deer then I got one about 10 minutes later. Both were spikes and should eat well.

3 does and a 6 pointer yesterday morning. Haven't seen anything today.

CHANGED the car HOPE it helps!

If it was super comfortable to carry and functioned well I may be interested in one regardless of how it looks.  I have some pretty guns and I have some functional guns.  For a gun that will stayed hidden 100% of the time I could care less what it looks like.  That's why I own Glocks.   I will never see the point of adding a laser and/or light on a pocket sized .380 though and that alone would turn me off to it as it did the Bodygaurd.

I've always been wary of most any of them.  I can make a passable grunt with my mouth and don't carry a grunt tube.  About the only time I use it is to get a deer to stop walking for a shot.  I've used some scents in the past, mostly some variation of doe estrous.  I also tried the Buck Bombs when they first came out and had good luck with them but when they got up to $10 each I stopped messing with them.  Never had any success with rattling antlers.  The old standby that I use is a doe bleat.  I have one of those cans that you just flip over and it bleats.  I've experimented using it from 1 to 3 times and every 15-45 minutes.  I've had does come straight to it from across a long field and during the rut I've had bucks come to it.     What have you used successfully and what is your method and intervals?

Almost as ugly as that tactifool 30/30.

I will say this just because I thought that it was funny.  My father in law was visiting and brought us the reusable basket for the Keurig.  I was getting ready to make my coffee to put in a thermos for work and he's going on about how quick he can use the Keurig to make a cup of coffee for me to go.  I usually make 8 cups because that is what the thermos holds.  While he is trying to make me a cup to go I go ahead and make 10 cups.  I was able to make a cup with the coffee maker before he did with the Keurig.   

Feel free to correct me if I am wrong but I believe that 3rd Generation Sub Compact Glocks did not have an accessory rail. So wouldn't this one just be a 3rd and not a 2.5?

NASCAR is about as scripted as WWF.  When I want to see racing I watch Moto GP or Formula 1, besides both of those race in the rain and turn right occasionally.  

Wife has one.  It's okay if you only want 1 or 2 small cups of coffee each morning.  In the cooler months I prefer to take my Stanley thermos to work filled with coffee everyday.  Good luck brewing a quart of coffee with a Keurig.  I too use the reusable pods when I do use the Keurig.  Would not be worth having for my coffee drinking habits.

And she bred...

Open carry a Hi Point?  These people have no pride.

Thanks for the replies everyone.  Seems that the big difference from this informal poll is a hand crafted weapon vs. a mass produced weapon.  Makes sense.  Though I'm sure that I could appreciate a high dollar 1911 I think I'll just keep being happy with my middle of the road Kimber and buy something else (or 2 or 3) to go along with it 

Okay I'm prepared to be nailed to the wall for this one but I must know.  Seriously I feel like this is a question that my wife or mother would ask, but here goes.  I love the 1911 platform and one was on my bucket list for years.  About two years ago a Kimber Custom II, which is on Kimber's low end, came my way at the right price and I picked it up.  As a shooter I love this gun.  I have zero complaints about it, it has never failed me.  I see how you could spend a few hundred dollars on cosmetics such as grips, stippling, etc. but I'm talking about function.  I've shoot 1911's in the $500 range and really liked some of them and thought that they would be worth having.  However, this particular gun is one of those, and I think most of you will know what I mean, I just shoot very well with that gun.  It's almost like I can't miss with it.  I'm no championship marksman, just a guy that has been around guns my whole life, I've done a lot of shooting and am probably a better shot than the average Joe, but I'm nothing special.  I had no trouble getting 3" grouping at 25 yards with this gun.  I can't say that for anything else I've shot save for maybe some higher end S&W revolvers.  So what is the difference between a $1000ish dollar 1911 and a $3000 1911?  I do realize that the gun is only going to be as accurate as the person shooting it, I just can't see what I would get for 3X the price that I don't already have.

No big deal.  I wear a beard for several reasons.  My day to day workwear is Carhart's in the winter and jeans and tees in the summer.  On paper I might sound like a lumbersexual, but then you get looking and see that my Carhart's are faded and stained.  My jeans have holes and are stained.  My beard is unkempt 75% of the time.  And my boots have mud on them. If there is still any doubt just get close enough for a whiff.  Unless the lumbersexuals have started dousing themselves in hydraulic fluid, grease, dirt, and diesel fumes it will quickly be obvious that one of them I am not.   

I hunt Wilson County and have my whole life. I've seen more bucks than does this year. First time I've ever had that happen. I'd say about a 3:1 ratio. Anyone else had this observation?

The type 94 almost seems backwards to me. Seems it might make more sense to charge a an additional $20 in order to shoot a buck and not charge anything additional to hunt does. I'm betting as many if not more hunters would go for that on the chance that they might have to pass on a nice buck. It would also be more friendly to financially disadvantaged hunters who are just trying to put some meat on the table.

MY wife has a Kindle Fire.  I don't like it because it mandatorily shows you advertisements when you use it.  If I'm needing to access the internet to look something up or whatever I don't want to have to view an advertisement.

Got another right before dark, I'll call that a good day! Plenty of work to do in the morning. Thinking about skipping hunting in the morning and working up these deer. For now I'm about to enjoy some fried tenderloins!

I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand I feel that it is my right to hunt and I shouldn't have to pay a fee to do so. On the other hand I think that the revenue generated by license sales is well spent and I don't have a problem paying them. There have been times in my life when I did hunt without a license to put food on the table. Not proud of it, but it's easy to say just buy the license when you have a pocket full of money.

Half way to the stand this morning I realized I forgot to put my hunting boots on and I was wearing my Merrill shoes. I continued to the stand. I get to the stand and realise that I had forgotten my powder measure back at the truck, so basically I have one shot. At 630 a nice for gives me an easy broad side shot at 75 yards that I manage to cleanly miss. I go back to the truck, reload, put my boots on and head back out. By the way I jumped a nice buck and a doe on the way back go the truck. Get set up again and about 15 minutes later an ugly spike I'd coming in from right about 250 yards away. I set up for a left hand shot and let him close the gap to 20 yards. I fire at him straight on, the primer doesn't pop. I cock it and it goes boom this time. The deer humps up and runs into a duck impoundment right behind me, I'm thinking "crap" then he jumps back out and staggers back to where he came from and crashed out about 300 yards away. First muzzle loader kill and I have my first deer of the season to start stocking the freezer. I'm happy!

Got a second chance and killed a scrub spike. Good story I will share later.

Ever have one of those mornings where you feel like Elmer Fudd? Yep, I'm having one.

Loading the truck up now.  About to head to Wilson County and do a little scouting and decide where I want to hunt in the morning.  Good luck everyone!
