    Thinking of retiring my .35 Rem Marlin rifle. Other alternatives?

    MeekandMild wrote: "I would think a good Cabernet or Shirah would go better with deer meat. The object is to convince her how good deer tastes and how many more you could get with just one more rifle. " Oh, she knows that. She shoots and hunts too. The trick is I have to alternate with her...

    I was thinking of trying a bottle of 12-year old Scotch. Your way may be cheaper. :)

    OK, hunters, how do you field-dress this?

    I hope you didn't have the fish.

    OK, hunters, how do you field-dress this?

    Dang, I'm glad I didn't own one of those cars parked along the side of the road. Can you imagine getting whale guts out of the upholstery?

    What is it with Bear ignorance??

    I had a Hispanic buddy in the Army who told me that "macho was Spanish for a**hole." :)

    Thinking of retiring my .35 Rem Marlin rifle. Other alternatives?

    I've got a .45-70 Guide Gun and I like it. I've got a 336 in .30-30 and I like it. Hell, I've got about 30 rifles and I like all of 'em. I've got three .30-06's. I'm still trying to convince my wife that I need three scoped bolt guns in one caliber. Try that sometime. I'd keep the...

    OK, hunters, how do you field-dress this?

    "Towards thee I roll, thou all-destroying but unconquering whale; to the last I grapple with thee; from hell's heart I stab at thee; for hate's sake I spit my last breath at thee. " Sorry. Literary flashback.

    OK, hunters, how do you field-dress this?

    With a chainsaw and a backhoe, most likely. Actually, I just re-read Moby Dick a while ago. Melville actually does give a pretty good description of the process in there.

    What is it with Bear ignorance??

    A few years ago, the wife and I saw a woman kicked out of Rocky Mountain National Park. She was videotaping a herd of elk. Park elk, that aren't afraid of people. In September. During the rut. Moron was walking towards the herd bull across an open field, with her video camera buzzing...

    What is it with Bear ignorance??

    You should read the last chapter in my book, Misplaced Compassion. It addresses this very point. To put it simply, I don't think it's just the media; it's also the urbanization of society. People just don't live around wildlife any more. Here in Colorado, it's gotten stylish to build...

    On Unpopular Shotguns....

    I've got a really cute little H&R Topper in 12 gauge that I picked up at a pawn shop for $35. It's in perfect mechanical condition, bluing isn't bad. The stock was a mess when I got it, but I went to Midway, got a black fiberglass stock for it. That helped. I got a buttstock shell...

    Car rams storefront in $5,000 gun theft

    I'm a regular visitor to the Dave's Guns mentioned in the article, and I've been in to Rob's, too. You'd need a tank to bust into Dave's now. I imagine Rob will be taking the same steps. I live about three miles from both stores. I've bought three guns from Dave in the last year, including...

    Has your job made you "mean"?

    I'm self-employed, so I'm generally pretty pleased. My boss is a pretty good fella, all around. :D

    PETA and gun control

    MeekandMild, I make that point, exactly, in the first section of the book. :D good call.

    OKC gun show- the last straw

    Motorep, I was at that same show. Both Crossroads and Tanner seem to be in love with the damned Beanie Baby and beef jerky vendors. And since we have to have NICS checks now for any transaction, you can't even find a good deal from a guy walking up and down the aisles any more. There's not a...

    PETA and gun control

    I'll chime in here, since I'm the guy who - literally - wrote the book on these idiots. To clear up a couple misconceptions: - PeTA is not an environmental group. They've never done anything, never spent one penny to help protect or preserve any wild country or wildlife habitat. Never...
