While I have been at it long enough to know what works best for me and my guns, I am still open to try different things. My primary hunting bullets for my revolvers/P.C. carbines was determined long ago, as was the powder and charge rate. But for plinking and just range fodder, I go with what is...

Back in the 60s and early 70s, most everyone I knew had a .410 or 20 ga. shotgun with the barrel and stock sawed off, stashed either under or behind the seat of their truck. Folks called them their "truck guns" or "Cat guns" or even gave them names like "Shorty". Yep, illegal as 'ell, yet we all...

While I agree about the practicality of a mare's leg in today's trapping world, I still will argue about putting down what's in your trap. Whenever the wolf is declassified(off and on) here in Wisconsin, trapping has been and still is a very viable method of taking them. Beating them to death in...

I too grew up in the day when there were still trappers alive that legally trapped bear....both black and grizzly. I would not want to use sticks and stones on them myself. Same goes for wolves and cougars. I still use a .22 on 'yotes I catch in leg hold traps, just because it's easier and does...

I believe he was also charged in Tennessee and Missouri for game violations. The latest was for shooting a Trophy deer over bait and leaving the meat to rot(Wanton Waste). From what the local Warden tells me, for every violation a poacher gets caught, they get away with at least a dozen others.

....isn't he the same T.V. Hunting Show personality that has been charged multiple times over the years with poaching in multiple states?

Yotes learn very quick so they get call and trap shy if not caught/shot. Don't understand the philosophy of trying to save the hogs tho. Seems all you hear/read is how destructive and what a nuisance they are, yet folks want to keep them around and nurture them like deer, and then wonder why...

Lawn rats. As a kid they kept me out of BBs and pellets most of the summer. Discovered early on that dead birds made great decoys.

I would too, but that's like saying that more Ford owners have accidents than those who drive Ramblers. While I know of hundreds of deer hunters personally, I am the only one I know, that uses a handgun for their primary weapon for hunting deer. I'm gonna guess that is the experience of the...

......not for the handgun, but for the many handgun hunters, it can be. Amazes me the amount of folks that claim to be handgun hunters, yet they still carry a long gun when they hunt as their primary weapon. Along with this, is the amount of folks that never practice regularly at 70 yards with...

My .460 XVR is the most accurate revolver I own, or have ever shot. It's accuracy always amazes me. With the red dot scope on it, it's easy for even first time shooters, to hit a bowling pin @ 100 yards.

Kinda the point many have been trying to make for years......yet so many don't want to hear it. This is serious, while many just blow it off. The idea that muscle tissue will infect just as easily as CNS tissue is disturbing, but even more disturbing from what I got from your link, is the fact...

Good for you. Curious as to why the process to join is so difficult, other than having to wait for a member to die for an opening. Over the years, I have been a member of several "Sportsmen" clubs that provided me with access to shooting ranges. All required a yearly fee and X amount of...

I agree, there definitely is a problem, and I also have to agree about whether or not an App is the answer. Hard for me to understand, how anyone would forget their gun in a bathroom, kinda like forgetting your kid in the backseat of the car. Maybe a small lanyard with a retractable cable that...

.....just got a response back from Henry. Here it is, straight from the Horse's mouth.
