Evidently, gubment values anything and everything over and above the lives of American citizens.

The ones that were left there were grounded due to maintenance issues. I'd read that there were 55 F22's stationed at Tyndall and they'd successfully relocated 33 to another field. But at 300-million per aircraft, maintenance issues or whatever, you'd think that the USAF could rent a few trucks. :r...

It seems to me that while this fellow was caught at an initial disadvantage, he was prepared "in the event". He had the gear that he needed and a solid hunting partner. Thank the Lord for that. If his partner had not been well equipped or had let fear determine his actions, that guy would ...

Personally, I'd adjust the hardware to the animal that I intend to hunt. A meat hog might not need as much gun as a trophy-sized boar Hogs are easy to kill with a well-placed shot. For meat pigs from a stand or cover, I prefer to shoot them at the base of the skull. That's low and just behind the ea...

A fellow always wants to be on good terms with his neighbor if possible. Sounds like you've not seen eye to eye on the issue in the past. I'd tell them about your plan. Let them be fully informed. If they don't like it, or you can't work out something effective, put the ball in their court. "We...

Joined a small hunting party at The Boar's Nest in Kenefic, OK, yesterday. We had a party of five hunters Charles, Jim, Ellis, Brian and Myself, with three of us looking to shoot what the proprietor refers to as trophy boars, and the other two looking for meat hogs. The Boar's Nest is split into two...

A half-azzed effort at best.

Kinda like anything the government does.

Took a trip to the range today to make sure the sights on my Model 94 in .356Win are "minute of hog". Checked out pretty good. I am ready to go hunting. I took along a couple of guns inherited from My Dad, that I am evaluating for doing some squirrel hunting in a few weeks. I have a new do...

Can you shoot from the other shoulder?

In spite of the complaints about arm-chair quarterbacks and such, I don't believe that it's wrong to examine a situation or review the events and then speculate on what else might have been done, or what might not. Trying to put ones-self in another man's shoes is a traditional learning tool, even i...

. I realize that there are collectors of expensive and magnificent firearms, but I just wanted something that would be a nice little kit gun. I bought a handy little .22 a few days ago that cost me next to nothing and works great. It's a little H&R Model 900. Anyway. No arms or legs involved. :)

I watched an interesting piece on Custer a while back that suggested that not only did the Indians have the advantage in number, but they were also better armed than Custer's cavalry. Custer's troops had Army issued single shot rifles and many of the Indians had repeating rifles. The cavalry couldn'...

My dear FW, I have at hand all 672 pages of Wilbarger's "Indian Depredations in Texas," and was told as a young child never to ask my Texas-raised great-grandmother about Comanches. In the vast majority of cases involving Indian violence against European Americans, who do you think transg...

He believed that the Indians were the final, perfect product of human evolution, living in simple harmony with the earth.

Eh... I guess I'd take one of those if somebody was giving it away.

I liked that.

A tangent, but something that got to me recently was reading an account of the newest MOH recipient, John Chapman.

FWiedner

I have seen too many of those. They couldn't get in the military, so they pretend. The ones who really were there don't feel the need to be conspicuous by dressing in camo to go shooting at the range. I heard the music from "SWAT" when I read this... DA DA DA - DA DA DA - DA DA DA... :lol...

I can't help but wonder why a special forces sniper would choose to use the Browning machine gun equipped with a "special sight" when they have all the exotic equipment and guns in their arsenal? Seems like he'd be handicapping himself, or just doing it to set some record with that gun? I...

I've recently picked up a new pup. A blue Lacy dog.

This is Rowdy and Picco. In the first photo rowdy is about 9 weeks old and Picco is about 8 years.

Sorry to hear about this, Brian.

Sometimes even young adults who have been well raised go off track and need to get knocked down so that they can get up again.

I am unable to recall whether anyone had recommended this movie from 2016. Apologies if I missed that thread.

I was ready for a big stinky dish of politically correct and must admit being pleasantly surprised.

Has Denzel Washington in the lead, and IMO, it was worth the time spent watching.

I'll note that he used his radio and his gasoline pretty freely and the bad guy didn't slow down a bit.

It's my opinion that you are not using the original sights as intended.

Noticing a dearth of any westerns let alone decent ones after seeing the trailers for this movie I decided to watch it, and I have no regrets. I really enjoyed the story, the acting, the cinematography. Sure if I want to I could nitpick any movie to death. Hey, one of my favorite WWII movies "...

I agree rodeos are not humane. Ive seen calves and horses killed during rodeo events. However, thats apples and oranges. Tormenting and stabbing an animal until it bleeds to death is a heckuva lot different than popping it in the head with a piston or a .22 You're right. Bullfighting is much more l...
