I wouldn't purchase a used scope off Ebay but I will be very surprised if a forum member sells something to another forum member (especially one like Pygmy who's name I see all the time) that doesn't function...And even if I do get it and it doesn't function I will assume it did when it was removed from his rifle how every long ago that was and he wasn't aware of it.....6 points

A while back i posted a thread asking who makes a nice silver scope. I ended up springing for the Leupold vx-2 and so far i love it. Just put it on tonight so i have yet to use it, but here it is on my Remington Ultimate ML. It's mounted on Leupold dual dovetails.5 points

haha No girl involved. So here goes. Short version. My dad and I got into Yoga about 20+ years ago and began experimenting with vegetarianism since Yoga is about compassion and supposedly a plant-based diet is better for you. Well, about a month and half ago my father passed away from a heart attack at the young age of 69 years old despite seemingly taking care of his health (and karma). This made me confused and angry, so I renounced Yoga and decided that it's better to just live 'normally' since our actions are relatively meaningless - when it's your time to go, it's your time to go. Anyway, during the week I stayed at my aunt's house to bury my dad, she fed me meat (Greek family) and out of politeness/convenience, I did not refuse. I began feeling very strong physically and enjoyed this way of eating. I have eaten meat ever since and decided that I would eventually like to hunt and fish my own meat for health (maybe even 'compassion') reasons. I hope this all doesn't make me appear to be a loon... because I can imagine that it does. haha4 points

I am a big train affectionado and have ridden many scenic railroads and high speed and/or long distance passenger trains here and abroad. The shame of the American railroad system which was second to none in the early 1900's is that through mutual collaboration between all the truck and car companies they effectively killed long distance passenger train travel and left a gasping heavily subsidized freight system. Semi trucks especially cause more damage to the roads they use than the road maintenance tax they pay incorporated into their fuel. If (a big if) trains were more heavily used for long distance hauling the result would be more privately owned local haulers operating out of major train hubs, freight cost would be lower as well as fuel consumption and lower road maintenance cost, greater highway safety.3 points

It's enough work just "stacking" wood! My simple mind, always looked upon it as a chore. Nice to see someone saw the chore as a way to express themselves. Very cool!3 points

Kales is right there to. Oldest continuously operating optics manufacturer in the world, since 1898. They also introduced the 1st commercially successful variable power scopes.3 points

I have 4 full mounted birds (Eastern, Osceola, Rio, and Merriam's), as well as a garage full of fans. I usually make a cardboard plaque to support the fan and hot glue the tail and spurs to the plaque. I'm pretty much out of room in my garage, my wife calls it turkey wallpaper. Any new fans will probably get hung up in the shack at hunting camp and the mice can have at them. I did discover a plastic hanger device called "The Fan Dangler" which allows you to hang the fans upside down, I have room for a few more. If I shoot a jake I'll give the tail to someone for their decoy or switch mine out.3 points

No different than putting hot sauce on scrambled eggs or an omelette. Looks interesting.Speaking of omelettes, had one with ham,pepperoni, potatoes,onions, and pepperjack cheese, and topped with Franks red hot for dinner tonight. Beer for dessert.3 points

...and wants to learn how to hunt. It is a long story, but life experiences and ideals have led me here. I live in Lindenhurst, NY (Long Island) and would like to learn about hunting and fishing. I have absolutely no clue. I am hoping someone can take me under their wing and show me the ropes. Thank you all for having me. God bless.2 points

Maytom. ...the generator itself cost $3000. That doesn't include material and labor. Had to change cable coming into house. Move meter to outside. Run gas line across basement and then change direction of gas line. All total about 10 grand. It's worth it for peace of mind . We have a high water table and under ground springs so we get a lot of water to the sump pump. Average about 3 power outages a year. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk2 points

The Nikon Buckmaster can be bought for under $100 and would be perfect for your 10-22.2 points

I am impressed that anyone's mind even works that way to come up with such a concept. It is totally unconventional, but fits the definition of art bout as perfectly as you can. But it's true. After all that work and creativity who is going to destroy it all to burn the wood?2 points

Oh, man... My buddy, who lives in Freeport, brought me a bottle a few weeks ago. The lady and I shared it not long after. D-Licious! He tells me that folks travel from bordering states to wait in line for hours to buy it during its release.2 points

My hound is a house dog too. Though not allowed on the couch. I don't want anyone to think I'm one of those guys that doesn't respect their dogs. They are alive, they deserve respect, there is a bond, they are pets (some more than others). But they are a tool for hunting just like your gun or the correct size wrench.2 points

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.2 points

I'm sure conservatives would be fine with an EPA that actually put humans first.2 points

sometimes we take deer hunting to serious. sometimes we put too much emphasis on bad man made laws and equate that to ethical or non-ethical hunting. I'm not condoning poaching, there are truly some bad people out there. But the internet is full of lawyers and people so high and mighty that I'm sure they live in a glass house. deer hunting is meant to be an exciting past time that also helps to provide food for our families. We get so bent out of shape over rack size that it has ruined family and friend relationships. I once worked with a guy that stopped hunting with his brothers and cousins because his uncle cused out his son for shooting a bb (he was 16). Moving down south and hunting public land has really opened my eyes to non-trophy hunting and made me appreciate the sport that much more.2 points

pfft. The smoker is the first thing I shovel around. Then the back door so I can let the dog out. Re brisket. I just smoked a pork butt for 4 hours , then oven at 225 for a few hours and then crockpot. It turned out amazing. Just a thought for your smoking future1 point

Also if the necks are stretching and they are being trimmed several times the neck's thickness will sometimes increase to the point of causing higher pressure. In that case you should turn the outside of the neck down. Al1 point

Welcome! Nice to hear that you want to give hunting a go. Besides the actual hunting of game . There are so many other things associated with hunting that are very enjoyable too. The sights, smells and sounds of nature in the hunting woods. The enjoyment of becoming proficient with your weapon of choice, bow, shotgun, rifle or a combination of all of them! The satisfaction of procuring your own food. Learning and sharing hunting info. And so many other things that make hunting honorable and fun. Best of luck to you in all your future hunting adventures!1 point

I'll second that motion I heard they raised the price again this year. Seems like every year, more $ and less cookies in the box.1 point

It was paper based I even sent in a sheet explaining why I answered some of the questions the way I did when I ran out of space. Like on AR’s why I pass on small bucks and I’m stead flatly against AR’s. Basically it’s my choice and I don’t have the right tell someone how to hunt on their land or to make them hunt the way I do.1 point
