WHY GOD MADE BUGS "what happens if you get a bent star or a spent casing that doesn't want to come out in a revolver?" With your firing side hand you throw the revolver at the BG while you draw your BUG with your support side hand and continue as before. FWIW, some tests run at West Coast...

CT I have them on my 642 carry piece, and my wife now insists on having them on her purse gun, a Centennial. That will be her birthday present. I got the larger grip, as I have difficulty getting a secure grasp on the boot grip. I love mine, and find that I can consistently shoot faster...

LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION Mike, quit making excuses and get off your duff. The whitetail deer are so populous back east you could probably hunt them with a stick! As far as moving back to the world someday..listen to an old man. If you have something you want to do, do it NOW for...

UNZIPPING A DEER Unzipping IS interesting, and very quick if you have someone to hold the hind legs for you, other wise they keep kicking you while you are trying not to cut into any part of the "parts" while you are unzipping the membrane. No need for a butcher, either. With a sharp boning...

CALIFORNIA DEER SIZE Hey, all those responses and no one addressed that part of the question! California deer range from tiny, coastal blacktails along the coast south of Monterrey, to big enough to ride, (literally), Rocky Mountain subspecies muleys in the X zones. Biggest darn deer I...

HUNTING Fewer and fewer young folks are taking up hunting. That means that there are more and more of us old geezers with a lifetime of knowledge and experience to impart, and no one to give it away to! Check around locally at the sporting goods stores, etcetera, until you find an old guy...

COUGAR STUFF First of all, it probably isn't true that there is an overpopulation of cougars in CA. There are many, many killed each year legally by folks who apply for and get "predator permits.", permits to kill the big cats that are alleged to be killing livestock. Almost any large ranch can...

MY GALIL EXPERIENCE I owned a Galil in .308. Extremely robust, we tried everything to get it to jam, without any success. On the other hand, it was not a very accurate weapon, by my not very high standards. The recoil was very manageable, even for my 110 pound daughter 15 year old daughter...

SOUNDS GOOD I'm also living in California for the moment, which simplifies transfer of the weapon. I am interested in your rifle. Why don't you check out auction Arms to see what kind of prices prevail at the moment? My email is [email protected]. God bless and y'all be careful out...

GENTLEMEN'S QUARTERLY UPDATE "A man is not properly dressed if he leaves his domicile without a folding knife and a multi-tool." He's not only not properly dressed, he's also dumber than a flat rock. God bless and y'all be careful out there.:cool:

ALL DEPENDS I have a .270 A-bolt that has been tuned and fine-tuned, that is my long-range rifle. I have a Savage Scout (.308) that is my brush gun. Love them both, see no reason to buy anything else. Both have killed everything I shot with them, and I expect them to kill a lot more before...

REMINDS ME OF A STORY Actually, I am very glad this guy is walking around unarmed and unconvinced. As long as there is easy prey like that, the probabilities are that the predators are going to pass over me in favor of something much easier like him. Knew a fellow once that died of...

VERY, VERY OLD ADVICE The best way to teach your wife/girlfriend to shoot/drive is to have a professional do it. God bless and y'all be careful out there.:cool:

MEMORIES Once, when I was a kid, seeing two cottontail rabbits box. It was a full moon, just after dark, and they would jump up on their hind legs and spar with their forepaws. Second, more memorable, I was walking along the gravel road to school, about 11:00 AM, when I hear a hissing in the...

WHERE DID THE THREAD GO? I thought this was about California CCWs. DOJ has nothing to do with CCWs. In Ventura County, you go to the sheriff's office in Ventura, (the city), and ask for an application at the license desk. You fill it out (It has misprints & erroneous instructions, best to...

CALIFORNIA CCW About half the counties in CA will issue CCws, Ventura is one, and most of the counties up north. You have to be a resident of the county. It goes a little easier if you already have a Florida CCW, for instance, or Utah or Nevada or Arizona. It establishes already that you are...

THE FOUR STAGES I have heard reference to the four stages that a person experiences re life-threatening experiences, (combat, or high risk activities). As I remember (dimly, and inaccurately), the first stage is pre experience, when the individual believes that some thing (a particular...

LEO COMMANDS Last time I was stopped, was about 20-odd years ago. The LEOs, LAPD narcs, were convinced I had exited a driveway a couple doors down from where I had actually been parked. About 11:30, sunshiny day in Canoga Park, CA. I had driven about 8 blocks, pulled into a parking lot where...

LONG GONE STUFF I sold a Browning BLR in .308. Wish to hell I still had it.:banghead: I sold an M1 Garand. Wish to hell I still had it.:banghead: I sold a Marlin 336. Wish to hell I still had it.:banghead: I sold a Mossberg .30-06. Wish to hell I still had it.:banghead: I sold a...

SMALL WORLD My son-in-law, the helicopter driver, used to be a BUFF crew chief at Beale, before my daughter and I convinced him it would be more fun to fly things rather than wrench on them. He is getting a little long in the tooth to be driving helicopters in high-stress situations (too...
