I don't think they are smart, but they have great instincts for survival which makes them hard to kill. Crows however seem to be able to think and solve problems. Turkey just react instinctively in my experience. A couple of stories. It's been almost 30 years ago, my son who was about 10...

I won't carry these as an everyday carry knife. Maybe for special occasions. They were just too cool and in great shape to pass on at $20.

I should have placed a quarter or something with the photos for perspective. The Old Timer Trapper pretty much splits the difference between a Case Trapper and a Case Mini Trapper. The Old Timer Stockman is a pretty small knife. He had an even smaller version of the Stockman that I didn't buy.

I found these today at an estate sale. I don't need another knife, but these Old Timers looked like they have never been used. I don't think they have been sharpened since leaving the factory. The blades are a little darker than the pics show from a natural patina, but there is no rust, and...

Those aren't common here in NW GA. In fact, I can't recall seeing a truck that way. There are a few Chevy Tahoe's squatted. Unless we have to be somewhere, or if it's raining, my wife and I walk the neighborhood most mornings. It's a 1.5 mile loop with 500' elevation loss and gain. Very...

Watched this gobbler spend 5 minutes fighting with his reflection in a neighbor's bumper.

That gun's at least $1000 underpriced. I wonder if the decimal point is in the wrong place. Someone doesn't know what they have.

I may have responded to that original thread. So far zero issues. It shoots great and is accurate. I did install an Apex trigger kit but it didn't make much of a difference. I have those triggers on a couple of 1st gen M&P's and the difference is huge. But the 2.0's already have much better...

A few years before I retired we had an incident with an Airsoft gun. I coached football and this happened after summer weight lifting workouts. Both kids involved were great kids who just made bad choices. One kid was giving another kid a ride home. Kid #2 finds an airsoft gun in the car and...

I don't think it was swatting. Someone either set up the kid with the Airsoft pistol or they thought the gun was real and were legitimately concerned. It's hard to say where calls originate.

The more I see, both 1st hand, and read about bullet performance the less I'm concerned about bullet diameter or even bullet weight. Poke a hole in the lungs and you have a dead animal. That means good shot placement and enough penetration. Very often smaller calibers penetrate more than...

The only time 3 1/2" shells are necessary is when you are hunting geese with steel shot. Steel is lighter than lead or other shot material and you need to go up about 2 shot sizes larger if hunting with steel. When you get shot sizes that large it's hard to get enough pellets in a 2 3/4" or...

A tripod is more than I want to carry hunting, same with a bipod attached to the rifle. I have practiced with shooting sticks out to 500 yards. It's not quite as accurate as shooting from a bench, but close. But it does take practice to be able to do it. I have 2 sets that I carry depending...

This would have been back in the 1970's. I had permission to hunt private property, this was during bow season. There was a trail from where I parked into the woods. I had only gone 20-25 yards into the woods before daylight when I heard something very large coming down the trail towards me...

The short barreled lever guns in 44 and 357 mag have always filled a role in close range hunting but it took me a while to come around to the semi-auto's. I tried this Smith and I really like it. It comes with two 23 round 9mm magazines and one 17 round mag. There is a place in the stock to...

The gun came with 2 or 3 magazines. If not, you can buy more, I'd probably want 5 anyway. The thing I like about 10mm is that it is as versatile in a pistol as a 357 is in a revolver, and with comparable performance. I keep 155 gr loads in some magazines for the 2-legged threats. But when...

None of them are calibrated perfectly for every cartridge and bullet. The manufacturer can get you close, but you still have to go to the range, shoot the rifle, and see where it hits at various ranges. Most any scope can work but you may find that if you zero at 50 yards the aiming point...

If I were buying a 45 Colt revolver I'd want the New Model Vaquero from Ruger, not the Blackhawk. I've had several Blackhawk's over the years and could never warm up to them. Compared to the original Colt SAA Ruger got the balance and proportions all wrong with the Blackhawk. The aluminum...

I don't know what's up with Sig's unintentional discharges. It has happened, but so far, I've seen no evidence to prove exactly what the problem is. But I know this much, when word got out about the Remington 700's discharging with no trigger pull just about everyone blamed it on operator...

Have to be a Hunter Education instructor. Not normal classroom teachers. I'm a retired teacher and my hunter safety instructor certificate is still valid so I should qualify. I may look into it. Thanks for the heads up.
