Got out for a couple hours this evening and scooped up my first ever "leap-horn". NO ONE in the history of shed hunting has ever accomplished this feat two years in a row, so they are kinda special,lol

I'm sure conservatives would be fine with an EPA that actually put humans first.

No Paula............we are ALL winners now.

Abolish the EPA entirely? No. Drastically reduce the bureaucratic size of the EPA, and restrict the scope of it's power? Absolutely, yes. The EPA has become an unelected lawmaking body within the federal government. That's wrong, and should be stopped.

This a photo of all of the extra turkey parts of the turkeys I have killed: No, the photo is not missing. Darn birds have completely eluded me.

I love mine. I really makes rough sighting in a two shot endeavor. Cross hairs on the bull. take a shot. re align cross hairs to bull and secure gun. adjust scope until the cross hairs are over the first bullet hole. ready for fine tuning. Stabile. easy to carry and I have never had a problem with any POI changes out to 300 yards in a range situation after getting it dialed in on the sled. Even using sand bags after that. I have never used it out past that 300 yard mark.

This is somewhat funny. 95 percent of the deer I have killed with a gun were off hand. Should I sight in off hand? For some reason, I don't think that would yield the best result. Same reason people use a bench and bags even though that also can alter poi with different pressure on the stock. Maybe if was shooting 500-600 yds out west it would matter. The longest shot I have ever taken on a deer was 240ish yards. I did kill the deer but that just isn't my style of hunting. I like up close and personal, not sniping. Probably why I much prefer bow hunting. All I can say is that I don't have any problems killing deer with any of the guns I have sighted in using the sled at least at the distances I shoot deer. Too each his own.

I want a participation trophy! I'm kinda' old, so I've never gotten one.

I luv the Do-si-dos....with ice cold glass of milk!!

Pirogies and kielbasa

but you haven't shot it? Take it for what it is worth. I wouldn't recommend loading a bunch of any one load until you see if your gun even likes it.

Uggh I ordered 6 boxes from one of the secretaries at work a month or so ago. They came in today...............only 5 boxes made it into the house, ain't enough left in the 6th to bring inside. Uggh

I hang mine in my gun cabinet, but it's getting a bit crowded in there and I may have to come up with a different display for them...

At your prompting - all of you - I followed up with Browning. They say the replacement was a new camera - sans packaging, etc. It arrived in a box with some cushioning around it, nothing but a camera body. The lens was dirty when it arrived. The camera had fingerprints on it. The only thing in the box besides camera and packaging was a note "we tested this one". So, maybe they sent a new one. However, their techs need to wash their hands and learn to communicate.

Here is a picture Dan (Pygmy) sent via email to me and asked me to post................................ Pretty nice set up!!!!!

Check out the 1000 piece puzzle we just completed Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

here's a pic of a beardboard i put together for the last turkey banquet. I had a piece of firewood that i noticed had some spalting in it so I chopped it up into a 16" board and threw this together.

Get a kinetic bullet puller they're less than $20. I'm a bit curous as to how you worked up to a load 3gr under max. Rule of thumb is to start 10% under maximum & work up. That would be 44gr or 5gr under max..

+1 Well said. To each there own. Dead deer are dead deer.

Did I win?

A 'lead-sled' type of rest generates an entirely different POI from anything encountered in a hunting situation. They're meant for shooting lots of rounds during load development, testing bedding, checking for stock/barrel pressure points, etc. They're a testing tool, and are not meant for sighting in a gun for hunting. Unless you plan to carry it, and the bench, into the field with you. I'll go ahead and be the a****le here: If you need a 'lead-sled' type of rest to sight in your hunting gun, you're probably using too much gun. Testing? Sure. But sighting in? Nope.

Back strap, smashed potatoes and broccoli. And Girl Scout cookies too.

Chicken enchiladas

Thanks for the recommendation Fletch back on page 22. Different color label but a good IPA.

For dessert we just whipped ice cream in the mixer and smashed in Tagalongs and Thin Mints. I did Heath bar and pretzels

I disagree having actually sighted in the same rifle off bags and then with the led sled. Only difference was that my groups were slightly tighter off the sled because it is a better rest. Then again, I don't shoot 400yds so perhaps this doesn't apply for the snipers out there.

I love mine when shooting the .300 and 7mm magnums!

I would say that they would be great for load development, but "sighting in"? Are you guys going to carry the lead sled around while you are hunting? I wouldn't expect a weapon to shoot to the same POI from the shoulder/bags as W/the lead sled. I sight in over bags W/my left hand holding the forearm on top of the bag and another bag under the toe. The recoil should be the same as when I shoot off the rails of the stand. Recoil affects POI.

Yup, some of us are REAL winners!

You never heard of a treble hook and 30lb test? It works wonders......

Hey it was that or Sterno

Works amazing for sighting in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would like a full mount but I just don't have the room for now. This is how I display my success!!

Or in this case the size of your type

No one I know has ever told an exciting story about putting the "stalk" on a stalk of celery, or an encounter that put a trophy "head" of lettuce on their wall. Your life is about to become a whole lot more interesting and exciting. .... first thing you'll need to learn how to do is the "backstrap boogey"! It's good exercise,lol You can still throw all that green leafy crap on top of your meat if you desire. This place will be a good starting point for your interest in hunting and fishing, so welcome aboard and good luck.

If you need me I'll be sitting in my wife's car. Just found these. Could someone bring me a glass of milk ? I'll share.

Welcome to the forum...If you get in the mood for typing I wouldn't mind hearing the story of becoming a vegetarian and what lead you away from it along with wanting to learn how to hunt. Has to be interesting...

I drank a million of those last Summer, I'm a huge fan. The "Down to Earth" session from 21st Amendment is really good too

I have a hard time picturing why a bird bumping a camera would add clarity to the camera video. The only thing I can think of would be the filter moving in and out of the way, but if that were the case, either the "fog" would be on one side only or the image would be colored a pink/purple color. Cross threaded lenses would result in 100% unclear videos and wouldn't be factored by a bump. Can you post the video of it "going clear." I actually think it could be either a bad battery, low battery, or potentially bad wiring/connection with the battery tray. What kind of batteries were they? Lithium? Were batteries ever changed in this cam besides the firs set put in? When on video, as videos draw batteries down, you start to see these kinds of problems. Also, here is the only other oddball thing that I know has happened with the full size Brownings. The lens area can collect debris causing a foggy/fuzzy/blurry look to photos and vids. I do not get that with the smaller sub micro units because the camera is under the sensor and array which acts like a hood at times. The bird bumping it may have set free the debris on the lens, which would explain the instant clarity. Because the lens is so small, miniscule "crud" can cause big distortions on the video. I have personally had this happen to both of the Recon Forces I have owned but cleaning the lens instantly fixed any distortions. The replacement camera isn't the first time I have heard them do that, but it is the first time I have heard them do that since the very first month they were in business a few years ago. That is shoddy IMO. Part of me thinks they are literally out of the 2015 BTC7FHDs and the 2016s haven't arrived yet. Browning rarely seems to have a glut of their cams on the market, so I think they artificially keep prices inflated by supply control. I do know that people return lots of cams as defects - and most companies find out that the cam works fine, the batteries being used were either bad or drained. Before I troubleshoot anything, I always replace batteries with a fresh tested set of alkalines and a clean formatted SD card. In this case, I would have done that and cleaned the lens area first before returning. I suggest you do reach out to them and tell them your situation and ask for a new in box replacement. I don't think any camera's warranty includes that a new cam will be the replacement, but it has been the norm for most companies' practices.

Saw today that a federal judge sided with Apple and said they don't have to unlock the phone

Was using mine yesterday to sight in a couple older guns with new scopes. Absolutely great for shooting and sighting in. And I also use it to clean the gun when done shooting. As it holds it in place nicely. My opinion is that it's money well spent.

Grasses will grow back, a lease is best to protect you and if large enough area is going to be leased it can give you a tax break as well

Remember too... one persons idea of a good mount may be a lot different than another persons... I've seen mounts I wouldn't pay $5 for that the owner thought was spectacular. I suppose if you like the mount and how it turned out that is the only thing that matters. If you're happy with it , I'm happy for you.
