The last thing we need is more laws! What we really need is a law against idiots! If someone is trespassing on my land and shoots me they better kill me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You can't regulate stupidity. It has nothing to do with rules it has to do with being dumb. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If you're after tight you found it, I surely wouldn't hunt with it way too tight for me! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Where did you see that statistic? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hunt paper company property that I have a lease on "I want to hunt it I pay for it." Not saying I have never hunted state land but it's not very often. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

That's awesome! Congrats to you both! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My brother in law got selected for something very similar for wrestling. From what he has said it was the time of his life. It was 10 years ago and he still talks about it regularly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I had a dollar for every time someone says "how can you afford that?" My answer is always the same "debt to income ratio." Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have no problem with it at all. I don't think the government should own land like they do. Make it private if you want to use it you pay for it. There is no reason that the government should waste the money like they do on land. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

The amount of people who run a chain saw and have no idea how to sharpen a chain is scary! I never realized how many people own chainsaws that have no idea how to run them or how to take care of them until I joined a big hunting camp in the ADK's watching some of those guys run their Poulans and craftsmans on work days was down right scary!

I agree with 0% but to me it's the liability. Paying cash for a vehicle and driving it off the lot is now an asset financing a vehicle and driving it of the lot is now a debt and usually negative equity depending on down payment. I don't finance anything and hopefully never will. The only loan I have had in my life isn't through a bank so it isn't "official" it is for a land purchase and although my brother and I had the cash my aunt wanted us to pay payments on it because she is elderly and retired and wanted a little extra monthly income.

Chaps, steel toes and oakleys for me. I should wear ear plugs but I have terrible hearing and muffs make me totally deaf. I don't wear gloves unless it's cold. I have a helmet I wear if I'm falling as soon as the trees on the ground it comes off. I cut a bunch of wood as a side job and for firewood and won't start a saw without chaps I have saw them work too many times. In my opinion anyone running a saw without chaps isn't very bright. The first time you have a chain come off or break I promise you'll wish you had them on. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My suggestion, avoid financing and leasing all together! I'm only 30 but have never paid a car payment in my life and can't imagine I ever will. I own a 2014 Silverado my wife owns a 16 explorer and my daily driver is a 2007 explorer. Paid cash for all of them. Bought my truck a couple years ago and have been paying a "payment" to a separate account every month since. In a couple years I'll have enough to buy another new truck. The good thing about new trucks getting so expensive is that used ones hold their value. I would rather make money on my money than pay someone for money any day. Before someone says it we are far from wealthy just live modestly. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If an AR is the direction you want to go I would recommend 450 bushmaster. Bullet selection for hand loading and factory ammo are better. I have been considering rebarreling my Remington 7615 pump 223 to 450 bushmaster so I could use it in Ohio. I couldn't hunt with it in the ADK's for the same reason I would never carry an AR, no comfortable way to carry with the mag and mag well sticking out. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I don't know your plan but I highly recommend not financing a truck with 75k miles unless there is a warranty. Paying payments and for repairs can put you in a sticky situation in a hurry. As good as trucks are now 75k is still when stuff will start going especially if it's 4wd. Had a ford with the 5.0 and loved it long bed regular cab 4wd. It was a great truck but I didn't have it for very long. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I would use a wooded dowel not a punch rod. If you have to tap the punch rod you can bugger up the threads. I wouldn't try extracting it anymore by cycling that's a good way to break an extractor. When I was instructing at a tactical school mossbergs were notorious for broken extractors due to stuck shells. I'm not sure if it was week extractors or tight chambers. We also had a 1/2 wooded dowel handy all the time for stuck hulls. In no way is this a nock on Mossberg because we were shooting 500 shells "slugs/buck" in a 2 day class. That's more wear and tear on a gun than most guns will see in 5 lifetimes. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Benelli R1 is super easy to clean although you really don't need to clean it very often. Probably the most reliable "hunting" style auto center fire on the market. I'm surprised it hasn't become more popular but it isn't cheap. I know mine isn't going anywhere! If I was an auto guy I would say that it's probably the best big woods gun produced. It's light, reliable and after a quick hacksaw job to the barrel it's now plenty handy as well. If only it wasn't for Benelli barrels being too hard to be rebored it would be a 35whelen and would be my go to gun. Instead it sits in the closet and gets used once in a while.

I'm the same way, I can walk beside people and they'll get covered and I won't have any. I've had a ton on my clothes and a few crawling but never had one attached. I must be bitter or something. I do use permithrin but not as often as I should. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Honestly I'm splitting hairs, I have tried 4's and 5's before but just found 6's and they all shot equally as well. I'm setting up a shotgun for my brother so I have been trying some different loads. I will stick to my 2 3/4 #6 high brass game loads and modified choke for my gun but I won't shoot over 20yds. His gun is dialed in with LongBeards #5's the 6's shot the same poa and patterned about the same as the 5's in his gun. I am going to try to call for him so he might be shooting a little further than I ever will. Given how the #5's patterned and blew through plywood at 50yds I have full confidence in him shooting out to 40yds. He is terrible in the woods and won't be running and gunning like I do so I'm not too worried about him having to shoot one point blank. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I shot some 6's today and was very satisfied how perfectly even the pattern was at 20yds from a Carlson extended modified out of my 870 tactical. The most even 15" pattern you could imagine! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

She sounds perfect! This sounds like a story we all will enjoy, please tell us more! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Breast them out, cut in nugget size, chunks, beat with kitchen hammer, season in a buffalo dry rub over night, make a buffalo seasoned batter, deep fry, drop in Frank's buffalo sauce, dip in blue cheese and enjoy. I have tried them a bunch of ways and honestly don't think they taste very good. Covering them in buffalo and bringing to work to share is the best way I have found to eat them. In my opinion killing spring turkeys is way more enjoyable than eating them. A fall 6-8lb pullet is a different story. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Looks like a nice new gun. Collapsible stocks for youths are a great idea but I can't understand why mossberg puts pistol grips on a gun with a reciever mounted safety, I have huge hands and have to take my hand completely off there grip. It has to be especially hard to reach with little hands. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
