    Has anyone else lost the appeal of hunting a certain species?

    If you start to lose the appeal for hunting, take a break. I started doing guided fishing charters almost a year ago and in that year I have hunted maybe 3 half days. I was starting to lose the appeal for hunting all together. Too much work, clearing lanes, filling feeders, cleaning gear...

    What got the M9 chosen for the US military?

    You would be suprised at how often this occurs within our own borders and politcians for little things in the military. My last 3 years of service in the Marines was at the Amphibious Vehicle Test Branch and many parts were accepted simply because the vendor provided campaign contributions to...

    Protected by Smith & Wesson Decals

    A "Protected by Smith and Wesson" sticker is about as much advertisement for a vehicle full of guns as a "Baby on Board" sticker is for a car full or rapists...

    Who does both rifle and bow hunting?

    I do both. I enjoy both. I don't like one more than the other. Each has it's own virtues.

    Hog hunting: Backup sidearm.

    You shouldn't need a backup firearm for hog hunting. I do carry my 1911 with me but the only time I use it is if I feel like shooting them with that instead of my rifle. As for .45 not penetrating a hog...tell that to the picture.

    .45 gap?

    The EMP was originally supposed to be chambered in .45 GAP until Springfield screwed it up. And as usual, when the .45 GAP is mentioned, people talk out their butts because their heads haven't a clue. For starters Gaston had nothing to do with the GAP. Glock tasked Speer with creating a...

    Smart phone = bad hunting?

    Set your ringtone to a turkey gobble that way if you forget to turn off your ringer you don't get busted!

    if you could hunt any foreign country where would it be.

    Africa. One of the few remaining things on my bucket list is a warthog with my bow.

    New Glock slide starting to rust...

    Just because sweat contains salt doesn't make saltwater and sweat remotely close to being the same thing. There are tons of other things in your sweat that will wreck metal long before the salt starts to.

    Bow Hunting !

    Wait.... You can use an atlatl in MO?!?! That's just plain awesome. FYI, in Florida you can use lesser weapons during the greater weapon season, ie, you can use your bow through archery, muzzleloader and general gun and you can use your muzzleloader through general gun. The only gotcha...

    Questionable Family Hunting Traditions?

    I hunt with a license but use one implement throughout all the seasons. I use a bow, which is legal in Florida. My only complaint is that I have to purchase a muzzleloader stamp in order to use my bow during muzzleloader...

    Springfield Armory XDM-45 in 5.25"

    What I don't understand is the big gaping hole on the top of the slide. They tried that crap on the ported first gen XDs and it went over like a fart in church. Lot of cracked slides...
