New Hunter score on this doe. It was perfect doe without fawns . He was supper excited. Doe was taking in 8N . Giving God at the glory.

So if by chance anyone is interested in a new Christensen Arms rifle they have a real good promotion going on right now. You get $400-450 in e cash for their site if you buy a Mesa or Ridgeline to use toward anything including optics. I purchased the Ridgeline in 6.5 Creedmoor which is a carbon barreled 6.3lb rifle with a Trigger tech trigger, muzzle brake. They are beautiful rifles, they come with the 1 MOA guarantee. I received my e cash and put the $450 toward a Leupold VX-3HD 3.5-10x40 and I paid $50 out of pocket for a $500 scope. Pretty killer deal! Sent from my motorola edge (2022) using Tapatalk

I picked up the 6.5 PRC Featherweight last evening at the Bass pro in Utica, was shipped for free from Cabelas in Kansas City. Firearms purchased online from Bass Pro or Cabelas anywhere in the country will be shipped to the closest of either store in your home state for free which is a 40 or 50 dollar savings. I got to tell you it was a long drawn out ordeal getting the paperwork done, three different clerks checked it out and starting Wednesday it is going to be as Clint Eastwood would say a real clusterpuck! Factory ammo (if you can find any) for the 6.5 is priced ridiculously, $75.00!! I bought a box of Federals only because I had some gift cards from last Christmas and need to use them on something. These Federals look like something the Lone Ranger would use, cases and bullets are a bright polished silver color, they would make nice jewelry. The ammo also has to be purchased with ID. Can't wait to see the circus at the Syracuse gun show this weekend. Anyhow I have eight boxes of brass coming this week and will be able to handload this caliber for a small fraction of what the factory price is and it will be better. I love this Featherweight because of it's light 7lb weight, I want to keep it that way so I went with a vintage American made Redfield 3X9 mini scope mounted with one piece Tally aluminum rings, this is going to be one nice carrying rifle. She is all bore sighted so I might shoot a few of those fancy Federal rounds out of her later today. Al

I’m definitely thanking Him for this “fatted calf” that He blessed my wife and I with last night: I can’t wait for a fillet mignonette sub for dinner tonight, and I’m really looking forward to the liver.

When I was a kid my dream cartridge was the 264 Winchester mag, looking at the ballistic charts of that cartridge made that young barefoot country boy drool. When I talked to my Dad about the 264 he talked me out of getting one, it is a barrel burner he said. To re-enforce the barrel burner propaganda my brother purchased a used model 70 in 264 Win mag and the throat was eroded so bad that he was lucky to hit a pie plate at 100 yds. So that kind of ended my desire for a 264. Fast forward to these days and both old and new 6.5 cartridges have become all the rage in the shooting and hunting world with the Creedmoor leading the charge making me take notice. I again seriously considered a 264 Win mag and also 6.5-284 got my attention, but the one that checked off the most boxes for me was the 6.5 PRC (precision Rifle Cartridge. The thing that held me back from getting one was the rifles being chambered in that cartridge, while I know the fiberglass and composite stocks and muted finishes are great performers I am more of a traditional wood and polished blued steel sparkler type. Always on the lookout for what I wanted I found on Guns International a beautiful Riflemans rifle, a Winchester model 70 Featherweight chambered in the 6.5 PRC at a very good price. To make a long story short by the end of the weekend (getting under the wire of the new state horseshit law) I should have the rifle and all of the loading components and Dies to make her go bang and hopefully kill a Deer with this upcoming season.

Great idea for the big blue citys why not do this in LA Chicago and New York City and then make it so they cant leave because it's a medical emergency lol that everyone else in the country still has guns. Lol make them think twice about who they elect next time around . Hi left field

Did a search on pack fishing rods and this came up, I remember the infomercials and surprised it is still around and for sale. Al Leave the hectic hustle and bustle of life behind and enjoy a care-free day of fishing with the Ronco Pocket Fisherman, it’s the product feared by fish everywhere!

!2 point buck that was shot on the property next to where we hunt in Geneseo .

One that has not made it in yet.

This is all I got. From left is my Gerber folding saw. I always cut the pelvis so I can open things up and makes sure everything (piss and poop especially) is cleaned out very good in that area, because I love the tenderloins. Those who say they don’t like them are likely skipping this step. Next is a cheap, Asian-made (I assume) Gerber fixed blade, that I bought in case I lost a primary, but I have yet to use. Third is a classic “made in USA” Schrade 153UH, which I bought for bear hunting (figured I could use it as a sidearm if my gun jammed) but I only carried once or twice. I like that it comes with a sharpening stone in the sheath. Fourth is by far my favorite, “made in USA” Schrade 1580T sharpfinger. Works great for gutting and skinning. Holds a good edge, and easy to clean. I use that for all of my southern zone deer hunting. I thought I lost the sheath this year, but Larry helped me find it. Fifth is another classic, an old “made in USA” Buck 110. Doesn’t hold an edge worth a sh..t, and a bitch to clean, but I carry it on all of my northern zone deer (and most bear) hunts because it was a gift from my father in law and he would not like seeing me use another knife. Last, is an old original Leatherman tool, that is always in my pack. It comes in handy now and then, and would work to gut a deer, if I lost my primary.

2023 will mark the first time a sitting president has not shown up to any of the three 9/11 crash sites to commemorate the victims of America's worst terror attacks.
