Question for you fancy wood workers, I found a Birch burl growing on a tree at my hunting camp, if I recall, it was about 10" in diameter, maybe a little smaller, I think it's yellow Birch.
Any value to it?

No experience with those, but someone on one of these sites showed a photo of two rem. 170 corelokts recovered from a bull moose that were the most perfect mushrooms you could ask for.The moose of course was very dead.

Not sure the BB stuff can make them deader.

I have a Williams FP rear peep with the aperture removed, and the red front fire site. This has worked extremely well for me for many years. The fire site bead is smaller then most and does not obscure the target as much at longer ranges, but the glow stands out for a good sight picture, and, becaus...

I hear ya on the 5 foot cutter, seems like fun... for awhile.

Have you checked out Mahindra? I think they make a big enough tractor, Seems like a heavy duty option, more like an older American model when they were made here.

gcs

So why do you think the wakizashi performed better? the blade geometry ?

You know why men usually die before their wives?...... Because they want to.. bada bum, I'll be here all night!

Except in NY!!
Lying, stealing politicians and do gooders. We still have normal people here, but we're over run with socialists that vote for these ..(use your own adjective)

I actually looked into the Jap mini trucks some years back, pretty neat rig, but too much money. I just sold my fathers very clean 99 grand cherokee for what is was worth, $1500. Should be able to find an old Ranger or cherokee for less then that with some life left in it. There's no place on the pr...

Want to thank everyone for their input, it's been helpful!

I have hunting property that I've always walked, but it would sure be nice to have some kind of utility vehicle to get around on for maintenance, and fixing stuff, plus these legs don't have a lot of milage left in them. I see most people have ATV's and such but they cost a lot of money, and are a t...

I've got property upstate NY that I inherited from my mom and her parents, been in the family over 50 years. All of the trespassing, poaching and thievery, were from the "good" local folks I not so affectionately call the Inbreds. Not once was anyone denied hunting, Christmas tree cutting,...

gcs

I keep threatening myself to buy one for years, but that little Bearcat looks good too, any feedback on those? OR, I could just keep using my old mans S&W 32 long hand eject. Accurate little bugger and doesn't weigh much. but a 22 is nice too. :? and, I don't "need" another gun.... :mr...

So running over a wolf or deer is a tragedy, but how bout a rat or armadillo? anybody care about them?

It's a rough life, if they're dumb enough to get run over, oh well.

gcs

Very nice. Most, if not all, the Nepalese Kukris have a wooden sheath covered with leather, light,
and tough. If you want to get away from the added wood belt loop, you could make a leather frog with attached leather belt loop that the wood knife sheath portion would fit down into.

My daughter moved to Fort Worth about a year ago and went with some friends to a local range, ends up buying a gun, getting her concealed carry permit and starts shooting with "instructions" from a male friend, and he can't shoot for beans. Funny thing is, she was never interested when hom...

The "do not call" list is a joke, nobody enforces it so telemarketers ignore it.
My phones have been on the list since it was created, I still block 3 calls per week.

If I get a call with a number I don't know, and they don't leave a voicemail, on the block list it goes.

gcs

At least the family sold it off, some few years ago an acquaintance was driving down the road on garbage pick up day and saw what he thought was gun barrels sticking out of a garbage can, sure enough the can was full of guns, the new widow didn't like guns and chucked them all in the garbage. :shock...

gcs

The one antelope I killed, and ate, was good. Dropped at the shot, gutted and cooled, and skinned that night. A little more of a "metallic" taste then deer but good. Now my buddies lope, :roll: , gut shot, slow chased 2 miles, shot two more times. Glad I wasn't eating that one... This guy ...

They're ok for starting a fire, but you can get the free shoppers at the supermarket...

gcs

Fired the local version "news" paper years ago.

gcs

Good luck with that. Never had the "privilege" of fixing one, but threw away dozens that were abandoned by their previous owners.
My suspicion is that you'll get tired of that treasure pretty quick, ..but wish you well...

My daughter teaches in Fort Worth now, Her 9 year old GIRLS come in and tell about their weekend at the ranch where they are the retrieve and cripple killers for the guys during Dove season.

Guess it's still ok in Texas.

gcs

I have a cheap, 25 year old, at least, Harbor Freight charger that has never failed to charge my batteries, it lives in the shed, is rusty, and the clamps are stuff. Darn thing just works.

gcs

The 32 stats are pretty amazing considering that most would agree that it's not even a marginal round.
was there any other info on bullet type or composition?

gcs

I havn't seen a box of 22's in 3 years

gcs

Thanks guys for the responses, kinda validated what I thought. I haven't needed to chain up, yet, The only time I sorta worry is the long uphill dirt road getting out, if I get surprised by a 20+" snow, and it's the ice underneath that makes it funner, :? Guess I need to pay more attention to t...

gcs

Yep, nothing to do with guns, except that to use one, you gotta get to where you can. :mrgreen: Anyway... I keep a set (two) of chains in the truck when I visit my camp where the weather can change fast, ie, 60 degrees on saturday night, 10 inches snow on sunday morning, and still snowing, hard. I d...

"No good.....I've been told that after a long time, ANYONE looks good.----6"

I don't know, new a Nam vet that lived with the Montanards for a year as an advisor,
Said the women NEVER looked good.

That's pretty clever

Like Willie says, "That $#!&* ain't right"

yeah,.. that's a little rough

"You ride bicycles?" :o Last time I had to ride a bike as a fully grown man, My testicles, and bottom got so numb I swore never again! I needed to pick my truck up from the repair shop and no one was around to give me a lift, I spotted the kids 10 speed and figured it's only about 2 1/2 mi...

I think the term "brush" gun originally meant the gun was handy to carry and shoot offhand in heavy wooded or "brushy" conditions, not that the bullet should go through brush and still hit the target. The term was hijacked by folks who were thinking too much, or at least looking ...

gcs

Can't really add to what's been said, but the 30-30 336 I have has done everything I've asked of it, is a handy gun to handle, and I like the external hammer. with the Hornaday LE's, it's still not a 308, but getting closer
BUT... that long ranger looks interesting.

gcs

Thanks to all, I did buy the leupold, cute little thing, First "good" scope I ever bought and it has all the magnification I'll ever need, I too remember O'Conner and his scope recommendations, He was right too, :D , Have a fixed 6X on my 243 and the buck pronghorn I took at over 300 yds n...

gcs

You can make your own shoot and see type targets. Read about it some years ago and checked out the site but never bothered to make them. A google search should get you there though.

gcs

Its going on a Marlin 336 30-30, I looked at the weavers as they had a good review,but they quit making the 2.5. Not a fan of the scout scope setup.
I ordered the leupold, it's small, light, and it's a leupold, my first ever. Usually I cheap out, but hey, it's only money.

gcs

I forgot optics planet,

CRS sucks. not you crs

They have a fixed Leupold 2 1/2X on sale with free shipping, I think that's the direction I'm going with.

Thanks guys

gcs

Does anyone make a fixed 2 1/2X rifle scope anymore? Not looking for a compact, or extended eye relief, just an old fashioned normal scope that's not "tactical" have range markers, or lighted reticles. I'm finally going to change out my FP peep which has helped me rack up tons of deer, act...

gcs

If he's serious about deer hunting he won't learn anything with you holding his hand, he shoots another one from your stands and he'll be an expert ,and will be giving YOU lessons,lol I've seen it before. Plus, how you going to get rid of him after your sister marries and divorces him? :mrgreen: Tel...

gcs

When my son found some BIG spiders in his house, he was ready to burn the house down..so maybe a flamethrower?

gcs

Glad it's working out for you, friend of mine says his is stuff, though just maybe it's the scope. what scope did you replace the stock one with?

gcs

I used a Havalon to skin a coyote, scary sharp, but it's kind of light weight, I feel, for heavier cutting.
might just need to get used to it, but these cheap Moras are so sharp, and tougher, I'd probably relegate the Havolons to just skinning fur.

gcs

If your going to drag them, do like Malamute, don't split anything, otherwise the carcass just collects more leaves and stuff. I age the meat too, large chunks in game bags, in a cooler, with ice on the bottom if needed. Works just as well and you don't have to wrestle with a dried on, or half froze...

gcs

You guys splitting pelvis' and sternums are working too hard, lol
I don't even gut them anymore, hang , skin, and debone, or do em on the ground, you can get it done with the knife that comes with your nail cutter.

gcs

I've used many different knives to dress and bone deer, from 2 1/2 " folders to 5+" fixed blades, some custom made. I've long decided a 3 1/2" to 4" fixed thin blade knife is the best of all worlds. I recently discovered Mora carbon steel knives, they are about 3 1/2"+, have...

gcs

Mine is an old Marlin scoped semi 22, with a green LED hung under the bbl. The Fastfire would be great on this rig for close up terminations though.
With some Paco modified target loads, it's lethal on raccoon sized stuff and not that loud.
Not that anyone really notices 1 shot in the night.

gcs

Me too, so long as it's HOT

gcs

Gevalia does give them away, or they used to, all you had to do was buy a couple bags of their coffee on the special deal. My mom had 6 of them stored in the garage when I cleaned out the house. I guess she liked free, lol. That said, all the drip machines I've had over the last 30 years were all ab...

gcs

Thanks all, I think it's doable, but probably not worth it. I'd be better off shooting it up and reloading something more appropriate, though I may experiment. I doubt a hollow point would make much difference, there's just not enough horsepower to get it to open. And my lawn mower is fast as it cam...
