Had muffs are great for stand/blind hunters.....Not so, for still hunters.

Your method has been used successfully by many for years. You might, however, find a newer solvent that works better on copper than Hoppe's. For the past few years I have been using any of a number of brands of foaming bore cleaner. I just fill the bore with foam and leave it for the time recommended by the manufacturer...turning the gun over about half way through. Then, after swabbing the foam out, I clean as you do, using a pull chain or rod and a solvent made for the type of ammo I'm using. I like to finish up with a light coating of KLENSOIL (sp?) in the bore.

Check ITASCA brand......Find one of theirs with 800-1200 gm thinsulate, and you should be good to go!

Jennifer Lawrence under the tree...wearing nothing but a red ribbon and a smile!!!

Clothing patches and bumper stickers are good ideas, but the real message must be conveyed...no vague, suggestive messages!

Not sure I like this patch: Could be misleading...Could suggest that NY is UNSAFE because there are too many gunowners. Reminds me a bit of the Brady poster: Who actually produced it...and why?

For temps down into the teens, I wear Hot Shot waterproof fleece gloves. Colder than that, I will go to a shooting mitten of some sort.

I think you are right: Deer see movement....be still or move slowly and you can beat their eyes. In my experience, deer use their eyes to confirm what their other senses have told them. I can recall numerous times where a deer had smelled me and then stood stark still until I was forced to move.....and then departed with a snort! I, too, really like orange camo.

Spikes are no dumber than any other deer!

Must agree that Gander stinks: They seldom have the stuff that shows in their "sale" flyers; regular prices are considerably higher than other sources.

Not sure about handloading, Culver.....My guess is YES

Dexter Russell from Cabela's are great....HInt: Get the black handles

55 grain .308 Accelerator work even better!

No.....Never too late to attack the Brady Bunch !!

talk this terminology over with your processor BEFORE your deer is done. Then you will know exactly what you will be getting. Different processors (hunters,too) use different terms. You need to know what your processor means when he says "Chops"..."Steaks"...etc.

That poster, regardless of who produced it, should rile up anyone who sees it. Let's just hope that the general wrath is directed at the Brady Campaign, whether they produced it, or not.

Yup...You are weird!!!

We New Yorkers have been getting hosed with gas prices for years. For most people, gas is a necessity, not a luxury. Yet our "leaders see fit to tax it so high. What's the solution? Dunno....We can't all move out of state. As long as we keep electing people like Cuomo, nothing will change!

The only good thing I can say about multi-flora rose is that it protects rabbits from coyotes and hawks, even foxes to a lesser extent. We hunt some rose thickets that harbor a lot of rabbits. In them we see weasel, martin and fisher tracks...but no coyote tracks...and few fox (because of the large coyote population). So, we have no need to whack foxes, coyotes or hawks to protect our rabbits....the roses provide ideal protection.

And....What did you find?

Left?? Your claim to omniscience makes me wonder about you.

Waiting for the Brady bunch to disavow any connection to this.....and to indicate just what their position is on rape defense. Until then (and probably thereafter) my feelings will remain strong.

Good point: Just because you have three rounds (or 5), doesn't mean you have to shoot them all.

While the .410 is capable of killing both turkeys and pheasants, it can be difficult to find a gun/choke/ammo combination to do so. A better choice would be to look for a Remington 1100 semi-auto in 20 ga.

WOW!!! is right: There is so much wrong about this.....Women are NOT defenseless objects to be used by rapists. They have a right to fight back that includes the right to shoot their attacker. Police "do their job" after the fact...seldom, if ever, do they "protect" the victims of criminal activity. This poster defines the Brady Campaign as the most perverted anti-gun group going!
