Sure I agree . But without ammo ,one just owns an expensive club . I’m a be prepaid guy, topped off 4 gas cans last week, bought 24 D and 40 AA batteries, and my stock of 1pound green propane tanks is up to 20 or so for my Buddy Heaters, and Coleman stove . Canning 30 pounds of meat Thursday . I have three red dot sights that use CR2032 batteries,they last along time , yet I have a spare taped to the stock of each one , just how I roll .

Oct 1st Mrs Nomad says, see you around Christmas . Our wedding anniversary is Nov 4th, I’ve killed some sweet bucks on that day ! Oh I didn’t bow hunt when we got married , started the next year , purely a coincidence.... She’s a lucky woman . Lately I’ve been closing pool, camper ,trimming scrubs, washing windows ,canning food for the winter , I may even take her out for a cheeseburger ! She washed my camo today as well , and I didn’t marry her for her farm land I promise.

Was at Dicks yesterday , ya I know .... Walked by the ammo shelve ,mostly empty, but they had the Hornady 7mm08 I use and for less then Buds, along with no shipping of course . They had .243, 7mm mag , and some others but I didn’t look too much ,oh I grabbed two more of those Hornady . Good example for a good supply is my buddy, he’s going out west on an elk hunt with a borrowed 7mm mag, he bought 80 rounds, ended up shooting 40 on my short range , first box just getting used to the Magnum ,second trying to group better . Later we went to another spot on the farm where he could shoot to 300 yards , he was 6-7 inches high, frustrated and burned up box #3..... one left to take out west ,where they’ll make him shoot before he hunts . Had to track down more, during the shortage ,not fun ! His error was he was placing his left hand on the shooting stick not the rifle ,so that was causing the high hits . I typically shoot 60 -100 of my hunting rounds prior to the season ,if I don’t have to,make adjustments ,more if I change things ( I moved my daughters red dot,lower this year , as an example.)

Anyone use the jet sled?
Nomad replied to cdbing's topic in Hunting Gear Reviews and Gear Discussions
Just got a jet sled . Happy with its thickness ,rigged up some ropes . It fits nice in my short bed, will be handy in many ways . I got a plank and hopefully it’ll slide right up,it into truck , last year it took 2 or 3 tries to lift my buck into truck . training at gym for the drag . -
Welcome to Roc. Now DUCK ! this beer is ok ,it’s 8.5 just downed #2 .

That doe would have been my hunting vest this year ! oh and I hate mascots .....
-
Happy Birthday . They got apples in Wayne County ? Who knew .....
-
Asking for a friend ...... He wants it for rifle , a decent basic one , keeping monetary consideration towards the lower end . Ive never even seen one in person , so I’m of no help .

Guy worked the opposite shift from me, for years I never even knew he hunted . Classic Italian dude, whom I loved btw, V neck sweater ,gold chain ,wearing ,chain smoker, covered in cologne. Who killed 23 bucks in a row on opening day from the same spot.

My average bow kill is 10-12 yards, in clothes that I wash maybe 2x a season , that the cat sleeps on and occasionally pukes on ,for a great 3D effect . My special ozone producing cat, ill rent her out ,pm me .

Irish Spring and Tide ! PB&J with black coffee on ride down in my camo , base layer is yesterday’s jeans and T shirt . I should patent my system .

This shows why I feel it’s important to shoot from height ,particularly close shots , it shows how low the arrows come out the off side . Easy to, one lung ‘Em .

I’ve pretty much stopped using any sprays, special soaps, and detergents .

Saw a piebald buck in bow many years ago ,at a distance . I saw him 2x on opening day of gun, ( easy shoots too ) and passed him up because farmer nextdoor didn’t want him shot, I wasn’t on his land either at the time . I regret passing him up to this day .

Nice offer ! Eventually . We have a perfect storm of people home with not much to do, so recreational shooting has increased. Unrest has caused 5 million new gun owners , and they gotta feed those guns , everyone with gramps old gun has been buying ammo for it . Current gun owners have realized a solid supply at home is warranted . Will those things level off ? Sure, until the next ,thing comes along . Industry insiders are saying they won’t be caught up until sometime in 2021 , they add that election may also have an impact pushing it well into that year ( some saying 2022 !) . More “ unrest “ is the wild card . Hunting ammo was the last type to become scarce, Ive been on online sites a few times a week for the last couple months one could see that supply dwindle as the season approached. Nomads prediction, snow shovels will be in short supply after the first heavy snow .

Good luck . There’s some hunting ammo, but buckshot and most pistol and AR ammo has been gone for weeks if not months . I use Both of those sites, I’m a “ team buds” member so I backorder it and get first crack at any that comes in, some I’ve waited months for . Ive got a couple thousand rounds of 9mm ammo, and a couple hundred for my other pistols, my 300 blackout supply is down to 400 or so, it’s been gone online for months . I rarely shoot that gun now , due to the supply problems . ive been buying some 7mm08 , as I don’t foresee things improving near or perhaps long term . Buds lists like 70 different brands/ weights of 7mm08 they have like 5or 6 in stock . Now this is not the first run on ammo, we’ve been through , the time to buy and have a supply has long since passed .

Only gun hunt out of mine ,so not much . When the windows open they can smell the chili cooking and cigar smoke !

Perhaps I’ll try to swing by on my way out . Or you can stop by ? We’ll see !

Sure I like freak bucks !

Nomad replied to Chef's topic in Gun and Hunting Laws and Politics Discussions
I have a friend who went to law school with Biden ,and was in his wedding , he always said he’s the least successful member of their group . Anyways I’ve given a little over a grand to Trumps campaign so far ,which should be a savings of a hundred fold for me if Biden gets in .
