Like the kid said , he's baiting . And apparently not taking his meds !

I meant " if it happened to me " . I would be upset . I didn't doubt that you were shorted .

The primers were indented so I am thinking good cleaning plus Setters4life suggestion about adjusting the hammer strike . Thanks for the suggestions . I left a message for my son to cal and let me know what model his S&M 44 mag is ...........

Burmjohn ---- If you check through a few of his posts you will notice the guy isn't playing with a full deck . He just posts nonsense to tweak members . He probably should be doing his homework .

Here he is wearing his Irish green buying some Blaze Orange .........

Have a good one

Nice looking doggie .

Be careful

That's odd Paula . I have never had any missing hardware from any of the stands that I have purchased . I would be upset too , if it happened . I believe the hardware that comes with the stand is hardened . Go to a Tractor Supply Store and get the Hardware you need and then contact the Manufacturer . Problem with the Manufacturer is ...... they may be out of the country .

The length of pull on my Handi-rifles is 14 1/4" . A Youth stock is 11 3/4" . A difference of 2 1/2" . Not sure if the Youth Stock would be too short but it would be less expensive than having it cut down .

Congrats to your son ..........

How I learned to mind my own business .........

I have considered buying a shorter stock to fit a rifle and see how it works for me . My arms are short and the rifle doesn't fit me well .

I think you have him pegged !

Is this the story you are looking for ? http://worldnews.msnbc.msn.com/_news/2012/03/15/10707625-report-poachers-slaughter-half-the-elephant-population-in-cameroon-park

They were regular loads ( 14 ) except for 2 reloads . I believe he said that he had tried to fire them a 2nd time but he didn't move them in the cylinder . The primers were indented and looked like regular fired rounds . I suggested he give the pistol a good cleaning .

Got back from the Gun Club a little while ago . I had a few 44 cal rounds that my son had shot with his Smith & Wesson and they didn't fire . The primer was struck but no ignition . I took my Ruger Super Red Hawk over to the range and they all fired in my pistol . I am thinking that either his pistol needs a good cleaning or the firing pin is defective . Any thoughts ?

I had my last cigarette at 8 am December 24 , 1979 . I was a carton a week smoker . I lost my Dad the previous month ( Nov 11 , 1979 ) to lung cancer . He smoked all his life . I think the disgusting ads make people think about what smoking does . The only problem I have with the ads is they are sponsored by a government that subsidized Tobacco Growers for many years !

This is a copy of an actual letter sent to Ryan DeVries, from the Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, State of Michigan. Wait till you read this guy's response - but read the entire letter before you get to the response. Site Location: Montcalm County Dear Mr. DeVries: It has come to the attention of the Department of Environmental Quality that there has been recent unauthorized activity on the above referenced parcel of property. You have been certified as the legal landowner and/or contractor who did the following unauthorized activity: Construction and maintenance of two wood debris dams across the outlet stream of Spring Pond. A permit must be issued prior to the start of this type of activity. A review of the Department's files shows that no permits have been issued. Therefore, the Department has determined that this activity is in violation of Part 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.30101 to 324.30113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws annotated. The Department has been informed that one or both of the dams partially failed during a recent rain event, causing debris and flooding at downstream locations. We find that dams of this nature are inherently hazardous and cannot be permitted. The Department therefore orders you to cease and desist all activities at this location, and to restore the stream to a free-flow condition by removing all wood and brush forming the dams from the stream channel. All restoration work shall be completed no later than January 31, 2002. Please notify this office when the restoration has been completed so that a follow-up site inspection may be scheduled by our staff. Failure to comply with this request or any further unauthorized activity on the site may result in this case being referred for elevated enforcement action. We anticipate and would appreciate your full cooperation in this matter. Please feel free to contact me at this office if you have any questions. Sincerely, David L. Price District Representative Land and Water Management Division "Never do tomorrow what you can do today." Response -------- Dear Mr. Price, Reference your certified letter dated 12/17/2000 has been referred to me to respond to. First of all, Mr. Ryan De Vries is not the legal landowner and/or contractor at 2088 Dagget, Pierson, Michigan. I am the legal owner and a couple of beavers are in the (State unauthorized) process of constructing and maintaining two wood "debris" dams across the outlet stream of my Spring Pond. While I did not pay for, authorize, nor supervise their dam project, I think they would be highly offended that you call their skillful use of natural building materials "debris." I would like to challenge your department to attempt to emulate their dam project any time and/or any place you choose. I believe I can safely state there is no way you could ever match their dam skills, their dam resourcefulness, their dam ingenuity, their dam persistence, their dam determination and/or their dam work ethic. As to your request, I do not think the beavers are aware that they must first fill out a dam permit prior to the start of this type of dam activity. My first dam question to you is: (1) Are you trying to discriminate against my Spring Pond Beavers? or, (2) do you require all beavers throughout this State to conform to said dam request? If you are not discriminating against these particular beavers, through the Freedom of Information Act I request completed copies of all those other applicable beaver dam permits that have been issued. Perhaps we will see if there really is a dam violation of P! art 301, Inland Lakes and Streams, of the Natural Resource and Environmental Protection Act, Act 451 of the Public Acts of 1994, being sections 324.3010,1 to 324.30113 of the Michigan Compiled Laws, annotated. I have several concerns. My first concern is aren't the beavers entitled to legal representation? The Spring Pond Beavers are financially destitute and are unable to pay for said representation - so the State will have to provide them with a lawyer. The Department's dam concern that either one or both of the dams failed during a recent rain event causing flooding is proof that this is a natural occurrence, which the Department is required to protect. In other words, we should leave the Spring Pond Beavers alone rather than harass them and call their dam names. If you want the stream "restored" to a dam free-flow condition - please contact the beavers - but if you are going to arrest them they obviously did not pay any attention to your dam letter (being unable to read English). In my humble ! opinion, the Spring Pond Beavers have a right to build their unauthorized dams as long as the sky is blue, the grass is green and water flows downstream. They have more dam right than I do to live and enjoy Spring Pond. If the Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Protection lives up to its name, it should protect the natural resources (Beavers) and the environment (Beavers' Dams). So, as far as the beavers and I are concerned, this dam case can be referred for more elevated enforcement action right now. Why wait until 1/31/2002 The Spring Pond Beavers may be under the dam ice then, and there will be no way for you or your dam staff to contact/harass them then. In conclusion, I would like to bring to your attention a real environmental quality (health) problem in the area. It is the bears. Bears are actually defecating in our woods. I definitely believe you should be persecuting the defecating bears and leave the beavers alone. If you are going to investigate the beaver dam, watch your step! (The bears are not careful where they dump!) Being unable to comply with your dam request, and being unable to contact you on your answering machine, I am sending this response to your office via another government organization - the USPS. Maybe, someday, it will get there. Sincerely, Stephen L. Tvedten The University of Texas at: Austin Office Community Relations/Accounting unit P.O. Box 7367 Austin, TX 78713

that anyone would be mowing their lawn in the middle of March in Western NY . I just finished mowing and raking the front lawn and decided to get some lunch . I don't ever remember mowing this early in the year . At least I got it mowed before it snows again !

As far as the original pic goes , it's possible if the deer was bedded down during one of our windstorms . We have had some nasty winds this year .

I believe it would be considered "littering" !

I think the last pic was a racoon delivering a cat to a VietNamese restaurant ......
