  1. Same here. You're gonna have a better luck finding .22 ammo at a decent price than scoring a deal here. Same guys in the back hall wanting $400 for an 870 that looks like they drug it behind the truck to the fairgrounds.
  2. Corrected finally on my end. Id10t error...
  3. Better late than never, just put the first deer of the season in the cooler. They seem or be moving today. Wonder if the front coming in has em moving?
  4. It seems Christians are one of the few that don't get to take advantage of that....oh what is it, oh yeah the Freedom of Speech. Seems religious persecution is alive and well.
  5. Funny stuff!
  6. Welcome to the sickness
  7. I use one of those giant "space" bags to do my assembly in...you know the ones Billy Maze told me that would let me to vacuum pack an elephant into the size of a large shoe box. Seriously though, for the cost, having 1 or 2 spare springs and detents for all aspects of a lower is never a bad idea. Might even give a reason to start another build.
  8. I hunted Missouri a few weeks ago, sat in 30-40 mph winds and saw deer early and very late. They didn't seem to mind the wind, but could be they are used to it. Seemed opposite of here for sure
  9. Problem #2 with putting the guns up each night is loss of value. Accidents happen and all it takes is a slip here or there and you have a fancy scuff or scratch on that once bnib weapon. Even the most cautious person can have it happen, or even it just being misplaced in the safe and falling over scuffing itself and others. I think it was best said, good alarm and good equipment to make it damn time consuming to get in. A lot of us take that and apply it to our homes. After all, the value of family that is in our homes is far greater and un replaceable than the value or content of any store.
  10. I saw "THE" buck I've been watching for a while this morning...on my way to work that is! He was bedded down behind the house in the field with 7 does just hanging out. Hadn't seen him in a week and gives me hope since I figured someone would have shot him off the road by now. Sadly we have a lot of that in my area it seems. Had I not had to go in today, I would have taken a shot but that would have made for a tough morning with work and such. Maybe karma will come back to me and lead him to my stand this evening!
  11. No kidding! Bob and Tom have some pretty funny stuff. Ever since the lost their syndication here I've had to listen to them on Tune-In radio.
  12. To me there is no better time to hunt that any time you have available. I've taken deer in the morning as well as the evening. There are pros and cons to each that we can come up with. But to me, I'll sit at noon if that's the only time I have available! I enjoy the peacefulness of the woods as well as the thrill of the hunt. My son is 3, but when he is old enough I want him to adopt a lot of the things that were instilled in me. One thing I was taught was to take advantage of every opportunity given, and even if mid day to get out there and sit in nature and soak it in.
  13. The truck said 14 degrees when I pulled into the lease this morning...I made it till 9 somehow. Shot a coyote at 40 yards at 7:15 and watched a tiny racked 4 pt about 20 min later. He sniffed the coyote and then walked right over it.
  14. Against my better judgment opinion going to sit in the cold in the morning. I keep telling myself its tradition!
  15. I've laughed every year I hear this! https://soundcloud.com/bobandtom/the-turkey-mr-obvious
  16. Mine in 7mm look like the one on the right. Bought 200 rds 2 yrs ago from cabelas on sale. All look alike
  17. I believe they do. It's even more critical if they will ever hunt in other states, for example Missouri and Illinois require proof of Hunter Safety course completion in order to buy a license. Not just that but it seemed like a right of passage for me when I went thru it! By the way great move on their Lifetime License! I got my boy his for his second birthday. One day he will know the value of it I hope!
  18. I work in the industry, when I say rare it's roughly 1 in 17.5 million connections! Granted as much as people use their phones it can and will happen, but generally you will only hear from a friend of a friend that knows someone it happened to... Nothing like the first analog cordless phones though that worked well as low power CB's and picked up everything within an 8th mile!
  19. More likely to be a switching error at the Switch. Rare, but it happens. Most likely to happen if the call is being made as either the caller or receiver is in a handoff between cell sites...not getting too deep into it but although it happens it's very rare now.
  20. Good luck in Missouri! I just got home from near KC hunting and they started pushing does the day after I got home.
  21. I have a paid of white river from bass pro that made it 1 season before starting to leak
  22. Yeah my brother in law shot a monster 10 Monday evening out of my stand...I left Monday morning lol
  23. I'll be carry the freshly built .458. I just got back from Missouri trying to chase some white tails, and they haven't started rutting there yet. The winds were 30+ mph and 60 degrees while I was there so that didn't make it easier. Hoping for some movement on the he deer this weekend!
  24. My favorite call when nothing else seems to work is a turkey reed call. Make it sound like a wounded dog. Had a guy one time jokingly tell me he has a call that sounds like a baby hippo in distress lol. Sometimes it just takes something different to peak their interest. come February though it's on! Throw a female whimper or howl combined with distress and get ready
  25. +1 for this. I have the P-22 and the P-223 and like the crap outta both of them.
