One helluva buck for Mrs TXT ! Congrats !

My son has a new sport model Toyota Rav 4 hybrid XSE . He loves it ! Lots of power and 34 MPG. Was tough to find one though.

Dont do it ! Interest in buying the truck has nothing to do with if you have a loan on it or not . The only time that would matter at all is if he wants to pay cash for the truck . Even then it doesn't matter because the bank just mails him the titles in a couple days . Sounds like he just wants to see your name and address info . Too many scams out there. Do you have the truck listed for sale somewhere ?

Happy Birthday Zeek ! Have a great day !

Go Gettem Moog ! Good Luck !

Paula if you zoom in on the pic you can tell its a shot just above the hoof . One heck of a mess with broken bone .

to be on the safe side DD , I would get these replacement O rings . Some of the guys had trouble with the hardware store rings . not all , but some of the guys . The hardest part of replacing the ring on a 760 is Remington used red loc-tite . That stuff needs close to 500 degrees to soften it up . when you put it back together use the blue Loc-tite to save future aggravation . There is also some special barrel tool that makes it easier. But you dont have to have it to complete the job. But it does make it easier . Here is a link to the rings. Its a 3 pack for 10 dollars that are made for the 7600 . Cheap enough . https://www.amazon.com/Captain-Ring-Remington-F15215-Action/dp/B06XH6V3JQ

The Rem 760's and 7600's are both rattlers when the O ring wears out . Thats is whats doing it . You can fix it yourself but its a process. You have to pull the barrel off . Some of those 760's had the red loktite holding them in so you would have to heat gun the joint to get it off . Im sure Buckmaster7600 has done it before and can chime in . Once you replace the O ring the gun will work like a charm with no rattles

Happy Birthday Mow !

A buddy of mine had the same thing going on last year with his rifle . Turned out it was the spring for the firing pin. Had it replaced and all was good . Another buddy a few years ago had his rifle make nothing but dimples on the primer . Sprayed this aerosol cleaner using the straw that goes into the sprayer and blasted it into the firing pin hole to flush it out . Firing pin was all gummed up . All was good after that too. Im sure there are plenty of other good ones but this is the one I use Hard to tell whats causing the misfires sometimes . Over the years I've seen this happen to a few older guns . I had a 20ga Savage do it . Turned out the firing pin was worn down .

johnplav's lightened pic shows better that its a coyote . That is a paw on the back right leg, not a hoof.

Looking at the back legs and paws , and the double shade of black and gray on the back of the lunging critter I would say its a coyote . The critter in the background could go either way. Looks more like a smaller coyote . but if its a deer , its the smallest and also dumbest deer in the woods . There is a little snow on the ground . Check the track . The only way to really know what it is .

What a great story and memory made possible for Tim by some awesome people . Thank You to all that made it happen .

Happy Birthday !

Love all the pics of the nice bucks , and the pics you guys hunting with your kids and wives . Gives me the confidence that our next generation will keep the hunting tradition is still secure in the future. But this pic to me is the best of all. Not only a terrific buck , but the grandson , grandfather hug speaks volume . Priceless , even more than the size of the buck. Congrats Treeguy on every count . For the buck , and for sharing all your adventures both hunting and fishing with your whole family. You are a highly respected guy on this forum and anyone can easily see why .

One heck of a nice buck there ! Congrats to your brother ! But I have to ask , how the heck did you hear his crossbow shoot from 300 yards away? You have supersonic hearing or something ? Heck , I cant hear my wife asking me to do an errand from 30 feet away . Oh wait , thats selective hearing so that dont count . LOL

Got my Vermont hunting license when I was 10 . There was no youth license then . Tagged along with my dad and grandfather when I was 6 . I hunted on my own when I got my license . I still remember the look on my dads and his 4 hunting buddies face standing outside the truck getting ready to enter the woods when everyone was deciding which direction each hunter was taking. Before anyone said a word I came right out and said I'm going across the logging road up over that hill and am going to hunt my way to the brook. That brook was 1/2 a mile away. My dads buddies looked at me and then turned to my dad who was also staring at me . He said , " Well Ok then , Im going to head down the old trail and work my way to the other side of the swamp " And that was that . That was 55 years ago , Opening Day of Vermont deer season

Happy Veterans Day to all past and present Veterans . And a salute with heavy heart for the ones who gave the ultimate sacrifice and didn't make it back to their families . The true heroes of our freedom .

Oh Man ! Its " Damaged Goods " now ! Hand it over to the forum and we will help you dispose of it .

I would not take the CVA with only having one shot . The 20ga slug gun hits hard but the bullet is slower , less range , and more recoil than the 7mm-08. My vote goes to the 7mm-08 . Hits hard , way longer range than the other choices , less recoil and 5 shots . And I'm sure you have it sighted in to hit a quarter at 100 yards.
