Gun Broker is great to get an idea on price. Look at auctions that have ended or are about to end to get an idea on what the gun is worth. I'd be interested in that 30/30 but I have a feeling you can sell it for more than I want/can spend right now.

Definitely plays a big part in it for sure. Now bullying does not just happen at school now it's constant 24/7 through social media. I also think parents put a lot of pressure on kids now a days with sports/activities 7 days a week. There's no time to just be a kid anymore. The covid lockdown BS has played a role in certain age groups as well. They where thrust into an insane time line and many have come out with severe anxiety because of it. If the parents handled it poorly you can bet the kids are a mess. Imagine being young and being told that you cant see grandma or grandpa because you might get them sick and they might die. I know adults that where telling there children this. Insane.

Happy Belated Birthday!

Agreed, sounds like the starter. They can be pulled out and tested by your local Napa/Advanced Auto/Autozone if they offer that service. I think they can even run through a systems check with their computer to test battery/alternator/starter without removing anything but again only if they offer that service. I know my local place has stopped offering some of those services because people are morons.

Saturday for the youth hunt our roosted bird was coming down before 6am. We where in the blind by 5am to play it safe as the bird was one the edge of the woods only 120 yards away.

Happy Birthday!

Ah ok, all my 22 shooting is just plinking for fun. Not really looking for accurate groups for my specific use. Just good enough.

Can't you already purchase lead free 22lr? I swear I remember shooting some not that long ago.

No experience with a hand loader but I don't imagine it's easy to use. For a first timer (like myself not that long ago) I struggled enough with a bench mounted loader I don't know if I would have survived a hand loader. Just thinking out loud.

Something like that sounds more like grocery shopping and not hunting therefore it's not for me. As frustrating as a long season can be without taking a deer I still would not use something like that just to say I killed a deer.

Sounds like the best outcome. Tough to try and get a dog to rest though. I remember one time my Lab had an issues and the Vet said she needs to rest. I just kinda laughed because that dog didn't know what rest was.

One for me that comes to mind is I could never be roaming around the house, spot a deer in the back yard grab the rifle and shoot it. To me personally that's not hunting that's grocery shopping at best and not "fair chase". I need to be in the woods actively hunting.

2.5 years old and going on a week now.... Time for a vet check up. Could be as simple as a strained muscle but why worry about it might be.
