Check out a Gheenoe; a friend of mine had one and loved it. It's a boat shaped like canoe; it's heavier than a canoe but a lot more stable. You can row it, pole it, mount an electric and/or gas motor. Here's the website; check it out.

He goes for a walk every morning very early and he brings rubber gloves, a stick and a small knife. He actually cuts tails off of roadkill, particularly squirrels. Apparently he has place that buys them for fishing lure material. He said squirrel tails only bring about $1.50 per dozen but he stores...

Derenius, Buffalo Bore's new heavy .30-30 with a 190gr. JFN advertises 2100 fps at the muzzle and 1487 ft-lbs at 100 yds. This appears to just squeak by your minimum. They say it's not for deer but it will kill deer; in fact if you line 'em up just right it will kill 3-4 deer. THEIR WORDS NOT MINE. ...

A little different, but there was a gal here in Arizona hiking or jogging in the countryside near Prescott, IIRC, when she ws attacked by a bobcat.

My personal opinion is that the SRH is an ugly gun; I much prefer the redhawk. Gary Reeder has based his "Mastadon" on the Redhawk; it's a 5 shot and comes in .454 Casull, .475 Linebaugh, and others. In the 'Gallery' section of Hamilton Bowen's website he has a stunning 5 shot Redhawk in ....

Hey Salvo, that's awesome work. I've just retired and in a small corner of my SIL's shop I'd have enough room for such a hobby. Do you use a machine to sew? Something like a Tippmann Boss perhaps or are you that good just sewing by hand?
