I think the lower powered ammo will be best since it sounds like she can get it on target. My buddy who did three tours in Iraq said that big is good, but more is better. Incidentally, i have a similar situation with my petite daughter. We have a model 10 that was her great-grandfather's that...

Well, there has not been any sightings or trouble since then. In answer to your question, the miniature donkey doesnt do much of anything. He and the horse got to be friends at the last lease place that I was at. The guy was getting rid of all of his stock and I asked him about the donkey...

It's just ranch fence. The place sits on the edge of a creek with some pecan bottom and then the rest is a fallow field and pasture. There are several houses nearby on my side of the road and across the rd is a big ranch. There are several fields and pasture. The ranch has some relief but...

Yesterday, when I went out to feed, I saw a mountain lion jogging down the road about a half-mile from the lease place where I keep my horse and miniature donkey. This got me to worrying about it maybe trying to attack the horse or donkey. I know that they can (one was attacked about twenty...

I have one of these with, I think, a 28" barrel. I never though it kicked bad at all-it just has a plate on the butt. I had thought about cutting it down, but thought it would open the spread up too much if I used it to hunt so I never did. It is a super handy shotgun, even with the longer...

My great-grandfather carried one for decades as a backup when he was sheriffing and in his chaps pocket when he was cowboying and never thought twice about it. I consider that to be quite a recomendation. He took it away from a railroad hobo who pulled it on him one night. The thing that has...

You might try cleaning everything and lubing it before you start buying a whole lot of stuff.

My family and I were out working in the yard the other day and a strange thing happened and I was wondering what ideas y'all had about what I should have done differently. Like I said, my wife, kids, and I were out working in the yard. A guy walked by, and I noticed him because usually the...

Yes, I think that I would. I have fortunately never been in this situation, and you don't know what you will do until you are actually in the situation, but I think that I would take the shot, so to speak, if I could do some good by doing so. There is the danger of being killed in the process...

All of the discussion is very interesting. I have been busy with work and hadn't gotten on in several days. On a previous post a gentleman from Midland wanted to know where I was located and where I had seen the animal. I live in San Angelo. The tracks with the one sighting were at the lease...

I live in west-central and Texas and am out in the pasture quite a bit. I have seen a black cougar/panther/whatever you want to call it twice in the last two years. I have found big cat tracks 3-4 inches tall several times this year where I have my animals. The tracks were within about a...
