  1. Shotgun market down here hasn't been good for the seller. I'm talking rifle area. I would say with scope in 90 % or better $450 to 500 . Retail probably get 350 to 400 from a shop.
  2. I understand your just starting . And they are just picture of your setup. Something I was taught and have read multiple times and should be followed. No powders ... primers or components other than what your loading at the moment on or near the bench. One lesson I learned the hard way is never put multiple loads in the same box. I was working up a load for my revolver. I had 3 different charges one grain of powder difference in each . All below max . While at the range a friend of mine accidentally knocked my bullet box over. Mixed up around 50 cartridges. Had to shoot or pull bullets . I shot them took them home and started over. Not dangerous but a pain in the butt.
  3. Dang pygmy you told me you were at the Alamo with Davey Crockett and Jim Bowie .
  4. There has been a pretty steady hatch of October caddis the last few weeks
  5. Guess I have to amend mine to 3 I recall conversations of the word telephone prefix . Watched old movies with news reels but not current at the time . And I am 51.
  6. Great video. Congrats . More info on the camera please.
  7. Almost there I missed one . Never heard of butch wax .
  8. I knew a couple of guys that didn't like the direction dicks was going and they had already left . There were a couple good guys there still . Hope they got an good deal to go with sportsman's warehouse.
  9. Field and stream in Bigflats closed last night. Sportsmans warehouse to reopen October 25. That's a quick turnaround. Should be interesting to see what becomes of it . I liked the field and stream venue until they showed their political agenda . Never been in a sportsmans warehouse .
  10. Dont see that here in upstate ny
  11. Yes it does ... but I get bored .... and it's raining. He is a dandy. Dont see many 7.5 year old wild deer . Thanks for sharing.
  12. Probably better off passing that old grizzled piece of shoe leather. But if you want I could come up and remove him from the hurd free of charge.
  13. Great video .. back when I had my boat I use to troll death green rigs . Actually that's how I learned to troll with my gramps. I did like fishing downriggers better . Seth green is an efficient way of catching lakers but not as much fun to play the fish. Boat looks alot like the one I had . 17.5 foot sylvan I had a 48hp johnson on it .
  14. On a full moon does are up and feeding most of the night . If the does are up the bucks are up . Normal deer movement is dusk feed .. a few hours sleep chewing there cud then feed again . Chew there cud... morning feed then bed up at daylight . Full moon its twilight all night . Bed at daybreak chew their cud . Up and feed midday. Bed up chew there cud and move in the evening. If you ever drive the night shift you would see the pattern. I had a couple conversations with Charlie Alsheimer. He would tell you temperature , weather , hunting pressure can change those patterns. His books are very informative. D&DH give a brief overall bit of information. It's not a perfect system but the moon plays a bigger part of what happends in the deer woods than most give credit. Believe what you want but in the overall picture of things . I have missed more than a few ruts by playing the second week of November rut dates for my vacation . Nothing worse than watching social media pics blow up from work . Then getting vacation during lock down and post rut and seeing next to nothing for a week . To each his own predicting the rut is like metrology take the info you have make an educated guess. Some times your right sometimes your wrong.
  15. As per Charlie Alsheimers book peek chase phase is 8-17 of November. Breeding is November 18- December 2 . Only one more years prediction in my book.
  16. I drive 60 plus miles one way to bass pro If I can't get what I want at my LGS. Field and stream is 2 miles away. Or I order on line .
  17. They will absorb those losses and keep on trucking . They may not gain as much as they originally estimated but shareholders will get there money . They dont care about hard goods . Bigger profit on clothes . Soccer moms and there yoga pants . Destroying 5 million dollars in guns is a PR stunt that will be more effective than a years advertisement .
  18. Its disturbing . I heard it on the radio on the way home . I thought it was a SNL skit . After watching the video just now Its worse than I thought. Tha fact that nobody reacted was even more disturbing . The secret service agent moved to contain her . And yet still nobody reacted. This should be a wakeup call for the twit that the inflammatory statements she spews is doing more harm than good . I will not be surprised if the obviously mentally ill woman does something horrific in the near future. I guess I should not be surprised... with these people's late term abortion and post deliver abortion beliefs it's not a stretch to believe they could believe it's ok to eat babies.
  19. In 76 I was 8. Still that's the music I listen to . Wife says I was born old .
