Love my Ameristep Brickhouse....you can move without getting noticed at all (a must IMHO if you're hunting with young kids)....easy to set up. and holds me, my buddy, and all our gear with no problems whatsoever......

First bow kill/first buck from Sunday evening...
-
I'm ready to put some meat in the frig!!
-
I own and shoot both......prefer the M&P for the same reasons Smith stated about.....ambi safety, adjustable backstrraps, feels better in my hand, and I also like the higher magazine capacity of the M&Ps....

NRA Instructors are much better than state instructors in general (I'm certified as both so I feel like I can give my opinion from both sides).....the NRA instructors that teach the advanced courses are noticably better instructors.....we have heve certain standards we have to meet and so many hours of training we are required to have to be certififed by the NRA....I've had students take the HCP course and then take my NRA Basic Pistol course and said they got WAY more info from my NRA class than from the state course....NRA course goes into a lot more specifics/topics than the TN HCP course IMHO.

Personally I never have, but my dad was stationed in Korea after the war......ate dog meat over there and said it was pretty good....said it tasted just like chicken--no joke....I'd probably eat it

Leupold Vari-XIII 3.5-10x40.....expensive, but worth it...

Fairly new hunter myself, trying to get my son his first deer. We've used everything from fawn bleats, estrus calls, buck grunts, tending grunts and even some rattling and snort wheezes. Haven't seen a thing yet. What are you all having luck with out there? Am I doing something wrong? He doesn't care if it's a buck or doe, just looking to get a shot off. All I've seen in the last 24 hours are 9 fawns. I'd prefer he shot a doe or small buck..... Got any suggestions for us?

Saw two about 0500 this morning on a field were hunting. They were hauling arse man!

Bought a CVA Optima last Wednesday....sighted it in Thursday....Friday took my first deer in probably close to 10 years (finally have some property to hunt!). Thought it was a doe, but turned out it was a button buck that I gut shot from 75 yards or so YUCK! Saw a buck walk by at 150 yards maybe 15 minutes later and missed. Hoping I can get him Friday night. If not I'll be out all day Saturday with my 30-06.....got to teach my 11 year old how to field dress, skin, and butcher it Sunday afternoon with the help of my grandmother, who taught me how to do it 25 years ago! Made some ground beef for tacos we ate last night and nice chunks for the chili we ate for dinner tonight......the boy is learning anatomy in school so he was loving butchering it and checking out all the parts and pieces.....good times

Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stalker w/B.O.S.S (30-06), topped of with a Leupold Vari-X IV 3.5-40 scope

I'm taking my 11 yr old son tomorrow. It'll be his first time trying to get one on his own! Fingers crossed...

Optical clarity and light transmission really show up in low light conditions. The quality of the coatings show up in bright direct sun.
Personally, I generally go with Leupold or Nikon mid-priced scopes.
This is the biggest thing I have noticed between my Leupold Vari-X IV and cheaper scopes out there.....same goes with binoculars from my experience too....
-
I'm heading out......all I'm seeing is hens, but with 6 of them I can do some damage to the freezer....

+1 for the Reloader's Bench!

Smart Carry/ThunderWear or Fanny pack. Most small revolvers and semi autos can be carried in the Smart Carry/ThunderWear type system without much trouble. I would recommend wearing some sort of undergarment like Second Skins under your running shorts with a crotch holster to avoid chafing. I also have a MountainSmith fanny pack I use for nutrition like Hammer Gel and Enduralytes in the front, and a small pistol/revolver in the back portion. Granted it's not a fast access, but you are still armed and that is rule #1.
What he said.......Ruger LCP in SmartCarry Holster.....Wear the SmartCarry over a pair of Under Armour compression shorts...has worked for me since 2007 or so...

Good job....

Makarovs are great guns, especially for the money. Domestic ammo (WWB) can be on the expensive side, but most folks I know shoot silver bear, brown bear, etc or European ammo through them with good results too and they're a little cheaper, especially if you buy in bulk. Power is between a .380 and 9mm, but seems to lean more towards the 9mm.....
-
I have the Gold.....wanted the magazines...
-
I think it's a pretty good deal...just make sure you unsubscribe to the emails...they get old after the first week. Other than that, they have a lot of good resources and their magazines are IMHO the best magazine for CC out there, hands down.
-
Another +1 for the MTAC!
-
I shoot Federal red box out of mine and it's a fun reliable little gun......
-
Should be OK as long as you do the transfer through an FFL (I think maybe on both ends) if I remember correctly.....somebody correct me if I'm wrong....
-
I highle recommend tha Comp-Tac Minotaur (MTAC) holster.....it's awesome...

Looking to get a Dillon 550B and was is hoping someone in the area had one that i could check out before i drop all my money on one. Interested to see how it gets setup, how to change out calibers, etc. If you wouldn't mind me stopping by and spending a few minutes getting a feel for it I'd really appreciate it!
Thanks
