Can anyone recommend a good repair shop for my old Mercury 20hp outboard? Knoxville/Oak Ridge area. Thanks!

I would be very interested to see that email you are talking about. I find it hard to believe that was sent by an ORSA officer. I am a member and that concerns me.

+1 on the Wally World Beretta. I have one and it's one of the best deals going in the shotgun world. I have seen a few around recently for $549.

Both obviously, but get a pre-lock SW 66 or 686 first since they don't make them anymore.

I lived in Idaho for several years and helped manage a gun store. It was pretty well understood that basically any caliber from .38sp and larger would stop a cat, as they are very thin skinned. 9mm was a fairly popular choice for cat protection. We also sold some lightweight .38's to hikers for the same purpose. Bears and wolves=different story.

hmmm, The trail cam picture posted above from Catoosa is the same one I saw, except the picture I saw was a different shot and it wasn't dragging a deer. I saw the picture from a co-worker's cell phone who claimed she was related to the owner of the trail cam. I do know the people involved live near Frozen Head and the Ozone area, and spend a lot of time in Catoosa. She told me they hear the "screams" from a lion quite often and it's pretty common knowledge around those parts that cats are in the area. I certainly can't confirm any of this, just what I have been told by whom I consider a trusty co-worker. Sounds like a fishy deal if others are seeing similar pictures all of a sudden thoug. On the other hand, another very trustable co-worker, whom I would never in my lifetime accuse of fabricating the truth swears they saw a black panther a few years ago on the back of their property. They live on the outskirts of Oliver Springs.

Has anyone ever seen a mountain lion in Tennessee? The reason I ask is I saw a trail cam close up of one two days ago-in Tenessee!

Does anyone take advantage of the spring squirrel season? Are they ok to eat in the warm weather? I have heard differing viewpoints.
