Liquid is approximately 7 pounds to the gallon, and the weight of the sprayer, and you start with somewhere around 30 to 35 pounds on your back, then walk with it. No, you are not out of shape for your age. A 24 year old Ranger would be carrying closer to 75 pounds, but how many of us were capable o...

I can see a use for the 22 TCM. It might be a good small varmint caliber, and it is easily switched to a 9mm. For woods walking where nothing bigger than a coyote is likely to be seen, it should be really nice. You would have the benefit of using the gun which you are familiar with. I do not know an...

I carry what I can conceal and shoot well. The best ammunition that I can purchase is in it. When I am in the woods or someplace such as where a larger firearm is not out of place, I carry a larger pistol in a larger caliber. Again, it is one which I can shoot well. A hit in the vitals from a calibe...

Last time I saw a Texan model was over a year ago. It was at Buffalo Sporting Goods in Buffalo, TX. 903-322-4298 Who knows, they might have one in stock. All it will take is a phone call. Good luck!

That is some scenic countryside, and a great levergun in the picture just takes it on to a level that few pictures ever reach. If anyone ever makes a leverguns calendar, either picture would make a great picture for April.

How do the idiots who believe that only humans kill more than they can eat explain that? Not trying to get political. If it can't be answered without too much topic drift, then just PM me. Yes, it is true that predators will kill more than they need.

FYI, Shilen is having its annual open house on Saturday April 23rd. I don't know what all will be available, but the company's HR director told me that they will have factory tours, and that some vendors will be there. Sounds like fun to me. Is anyone else interested? It is in Ennis, TX, and if you ...

I don't like that machine. I use the calculator on my phone to come up with the tip, and sometimes will increase it for really good service. Curmudgeon is not the right word for someone who is offended by discourtesy. I would say the person is probably just aware of their self worth.

A good sharp hoe or long handle shovel does a fine job if you can get to the snake. That load with the .327 sounds good to me. PillHer has a .327 and we sometimes have snakes around. I think she will have a snake load very soon, but poisonous snakes are pretty rare where we live. We had a Copperhead...

I have been asked to join an advisory panel for my local U.S. Representative on a healthcare issue, and the first meeting is on a day in which I would be off.

I don't know about being offended, but this Army Veteran would have to roll his eyes.

I was Airborne Infantry in the 82nd for a while. We had so...

I live just a little South of Dallas, and about the best thing I can tell you is that she needs to find a place to stay in which is North of the Trinity River.

Coming home from work today, I stopped at an Academy Sports and Outdoors. I scored a Remington Bucket of Bullets for $79.99, and it was 1,400 rounds. That works out to about 6 cents per round. That will handle a lot of practice time at the range. I also picked up some 5.56 hollow points so that my s...

Sounds as if the hole saw and tannerite is the best solution to me. You can get far enough away that the tree cannot fall on you when the tannerite goes off. Putting it in is the dangerous part, since, as you say, parts break off of those trees at random times.

A large group of pigs is called a "Sounder", and with its noise connotation, that still makes me not sure how to give a good answer to the Doc's question. Letting people come in to hunt, and letting them keep the meat is not a bad idea. I recently went on a hunt sort of like that with CRS,...

That is good to hear. Prayer does work.

At $899, it is a little more than I am comfortable with for something that I may not be able to use in my state. However, in situations where you need to generate less noise, I can see the point. If you want one, don't let me stop you. I would like to hear from someone who actually has used one.

Horses and cattle tend to want to be part of a herd, and that is in our favor when we try to make them go somewhere. If you count on the herd instinct too strongly, you will be in for a shock. Horses and cows have about the attention span of a 3 year old, and they tend to wander or stop, or even run...

50 years old, own one 1911 and one Block. For hunting with handguns, I use either my Super Blackhawk or Super Redhawk. Would I ever purchase another Block? No, because they are uncomfortable to hold. ++++++++++++++, Much prefer the S&W M&P. I have held them at Gun Shows, and they are indeed...

For the really big pigs, I would use my .480 Ruger caliber model 92 and 410 grain hard cast wide flat nose LBT style bullets. When you get heavy for caliber hard cast bullets, they tend to make a hole in whatever you shoot at, at least in my experience. I could also use my Guide Gun in .45-70 with t...

Jeepnik, it seems smart to me that a lawman would carry a 12 gauge, and try to avoid gunfights. If you miss, the bullet still goes somewhere. An innocent bystander might be injured. If you are hit, you might die, or you might not. Either way, why risk injury.

Need? For what I have hunted in the U.S., nothing more is needed. Want is enough to start another thread with.

I understand. For now, you are probably just needing to hold your position, do not retreat, do not advance.

My older brother, a Surgeon, has a saying that he was taught in medical school. "If you are in a pasture and you hear hoofbeats behind you, you know it has to be a horse, so, you don't need to waste time looking around." I have disagreed with him a few times, and he currently refuses to ac...

It was a great time. For my part, I hunted one of the smaller pigs without use of the dogs. A member of the Dallas Woods and Waters Club, Jeff, who is about 70 years old, went out in the scrub and trees area at the same time I did. We separated about 100 yards, and I went through the heaviest brush....

I have a couple of rifle/pistol pairs which shoot the same cartridge. It works fine for me. You could load down a little for the pistol, and it would still come out pretty fast from the rifle. I do suggest that you find what is most accurate in the rifle and use that load in both. With the rifle in ...

Welcome. I started on here with a .30-30, and am still here with several more. It is a fine and pleasant misery to want to obtain more leverguns.

My vote goes for George Kennedy. In Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, he was evil incarnate. Lee Marvin was good as a bad guy, but Kennedy could be scary.

That one is big enough to make a nice fur stole for your wife, or use it with a couple of smaller ones and make her a nice fur jacket.

Vance, I don't have the chronograph results anymore, but I found that using my .480 Ruger out of my m92 I got better accuracy and velocity with H4227 than with H110, but my Super Redhawk pistol was the other way around.

I couldn't ask for better than my little Henry .22 caliber levergun. It hits what I aim it at, and it is as slick as oiled glass.
