That picture speaks volumes about our country.

Happy birthday Marines! from an old Army grunt.

Another vote for Sno-Seal. I started using it on my boots while still in the Army and still do. Warm the leather slightly and rub in and let dry. A shoe brush will even put a shine on them if you want. Like Mr. Rumson said it will need to be reapplied occasionally.

LD is one of my all time favorites. I just recently rounded up all the books and started reading them too. I've read them all now except for LD and I'm about half way through it. Good stuff!

SmokeEater2

Glad to see You're well enough to post YK!

SmokeEater2

Danny, I hope that camera of yours never breaks since I always enjoy your pics so much.

Thanks for sharing them with us again.

SmokeEater2

I had no idea YK was having surgery. Prayers on the way for a quick recovery.

SmokeEater2

huntress, What type game animals does she want to hunt? Deer,bear,hogs,etc.?

SmokeEater2

I had to think back through the years for this one and finally realized the one caliber that never failed me is the .30-30. I never tried to stretch it's range and was always able to tuck the boolit in where I wanted it and it did the rest on everything I used it on. I took my first deer with it abo...

Here in Arkansaw bow season opened the 1st and blackpowder season [reckon I can't call it that anymore] opened the Saturday the 17th. I saw a few deer bow hunting but to far for my recurve. I saw one doe Saturday morning, just a little to slow to get on her before she disappeared behind some rocks....

SmokeEater2

Good luck to ya' otteray! A young (yearling) wild hawg is some of the best eating on the planet imo, I've used my Marlin .41 mag on several and it does the job very well. I've only shot one with a .45-70 and that was a cast 405 gr. over black powder load out of my Sharps and the hawg did about 3 stu...

SmokeEater2

Food so bad it'd " Gag a maggot off a gutwagon".

A task so difficult "It's like tryin' to herd cats".

A rump so big "It looks like two hogs in a sack fightin' to get out".

Yeah! What Old Savage said!

SmokeEater2

I just got back from a few days camping and hunting (muzzle loader) in the Leatherwoods. The ice storm last year was really tough on my favorite hunting grounds, There is so much timber down that getting a clear shot on the deer I saw was impossible. I didn't see a single acorn or persimmon anywhere...

SmokeEater2

From an old rancher down the road years ago- " He's about as sharp as a sack of wet mice". And- "I'm so hungry my stomach thinks my throats been cut".

SmokeEater2

Another vote for good ol' Unique. I've tried other "newest and bestest yet" powders in the past but keep coming back to Unique. It does a fine job for every pistol cartridge I load so I just stock the one kind now.

SmokeEater2

When my Grandpa was aggravated at someone he'd always say " He don't know fat cow from poor bull". (this was often directed at politicians) I don't have a clue what it means.

SmokeEater2

If I was going to choose just one load for any caliber I suppose I'd start out by trying as many bullet weights and load combination's as possible and find out what the rifle liked the best and then stock up on it. :wink: When I was a youngster my Dad bought me a Winny 94 in .30WCF and at the same t...

SmokeEater2

Nice story JimT. You have a gift for all of us with Your writing. Thank you Sir.

SmokeEater2

This is a link to a free online copy of a booklet written by an Army officer long ago giving tips and tricks for crossing the Prairies. Some interesting information imo. The Prairie Traveler http://www.kancoll.org/books/marcy/mapref.htm I edited the title now that the server downtime is over. :)

SmokeEater2

Like a lot of other fellas here I prefer the Winchester '73. They just have that "classy but ready for hard use" look to them that few other (IMO) rifles can manage. I only have a copy of the real thing,A Cimarron but it's slick actioned and a blast to shoot. If I ever win the lottery an h...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MR. MURBACH! I WISH YOU MANY MORE!

SmokeEater2

Nice lookin' Marlin! An ol' buck oughta' be proud to fall to that rifle.

SmokeEater2

I use a pair of the Army issue Gore-tex pants and they work fine. Waterproof gaiters might work for you,never tried 'em myself.

SmokeEater2

Welcome to the campfire Canuck Bob!

SmokeEater2

Good thread! The other day the Cimmaron .45 I carry when I'm working around home suffered a broken(in 3 places) grip so I'm thinking I might try my hand at fashioning some wood grips for it. Since I'm ham handed and got no talent they'll probably be about as ugly as the south end of a north bound Ra...

SmokeEater2

Well heck,iff'n everybody is gonna' post their Colt's. 5 1/2" .357 from 1979 and still going strong.

SmokeEater2

Yup, Still lots of rain here,both ponds are completely full which is nice but I'm behind on cutting and splitting firewood for this winter. Wettest summer I can recall.

SmokeEater2

The 4 3/4" is perfect for carrying. The 5 1/2" is perfect for shootin'.

SmokeEater2

Someone else already mentioned it but I'll throw in another vote for the H&R 999.

SmokeEater2

Usually an old Marlin 30AW in .30 WCF rides in the truck but lately the little Marlin .357 has been my constant carry rifle. It's light and short and has enough punch for any critters I'm likely to encounter on the place.

SmokeEater2

If I have to use any firearm for defense I want it to be the one I'm most familiar with. Since I've shot and carried the Marlins in .41 and .357 mag the most,it would be one of those two. I've had the .41 longer and it's been reliable through thick and thin so it gets the nod most of the time. I've ...

SmokeEater2

Well since the massive ice storm we had last year my hunting grounds look like they've been carpet bombed. :( There's a huge amount of downed timber and visibility is shot so I wanta' anchor them absolutely,positively where they stand. During ML season I'll use my .50 Lyman plains rifle (only ML I o...

I feel your pain Goatguy. On a normal year the grass dies down about august,this year I'm still trying to keep up with the lawn mowing.

Oh well,at least my pasture is doing well.

SmokeEater2

Guitars,Guitars and mo' Guitars. I need to find cheaper hobbies or a better paying job since Guns and Gits are both expensive.

One of my favorites that has a tone like angels singing.

SmokeEater2

Colt .357 magnum SAA. It's what I shoot better than anything else and I know the first shot is going where I want it,and I figure that first shot would be pretty important.

SmokeEater2

That's a beauty Sixgun, I'm sure the entire Leverguns cheering section will be behind ya on this one. (although some of us are jealous!)

SmokeEater2

Nice. Who made 'em?

SmokeEater2

Here's the Grundig I have listed on Amazon.

SmokeEater2

That's a great looking ring Danny! Good use for that elk ivory too. If I ever get lucky enough to draw one of the few elk tags Arkansas doles out every year I may have to have something like that made up myself.

SmokeEater2

Welcome legacy38 ! Nice looking levers You have there.

SmokeEater2

A few years back I bought a Grundig AM/FM/SW radio for power outages,camping etc. It has the little windup thingy on it to supply power or You can use AA batteries or plug it into an outlet. I've been pretty happy with it since it's the only thing other than the XM radio receiver in the truck that w...

SmokeEater2

There's a long list of guns I still want but a USFA SA in .38/40 and a '73 Winchester in the same caliber tops the list. Now scraping up the cash for 'em is a different matter.

Congratulations Kirk! Grandkids are the best things since sliced bread. You can spoil 'em rotten and then send them home to Mom and Dad.

That is a good song. Great White Buffalo is another.

By the way J Miller,I wish you the absolute best of luck on Your move out of there and what ever business You decide on.
