    Volkswagen bug

    My first "off-road" vehicle was a Baja (71 Beetle) with a Weber and no gearing change. So fun at first but terrible off-road due to the high gearing. My big truck got better gas mileage and it has a heater and a/c. Reminds me of the old saying: "The happiest day in ones life is when he sells his Baja (boat or whatever). The second happiest was when he bought it."

    RTIC 145

    Does it come with a motorlift to get it into a truck?
  3. I suspected it was not entirely clear in the law for someone to downgrade someone else over it. To be clear, I do not support chasing quail with a dog during nesting season. Also, the snakes are rampant. I just don't like people making up additions to the law. Portraying the situation as an ethics issue or stewardship or sportsmanship, is more appropriate.

  5. I was reading some replies to some newbie hunter questions that using birddogs in the field is illegal in off-season. Well, "Show Me" book, chapter and verse in the regulations. Now I agree, especially for Mearns which are not doing that well right now, it is a bad idea; but I want to see it in black and white and not someone's opinion. Following a rather extensive search, I did find something specific that you are not allowed to harass birds on the nest, but could find nothing really pertinent. And for all you "Karens" out there, unless you can provide a reference, don't bother. Feel free to start your own discussion on the merits of not using dogs in the field during off-season.

    How bout them Devils!

    You old guys have trouble with focus ... this thread is about bashing the scum devils -- although it started off bragging about them. I guess they are not even worth discussing?

    WTB 410 shotgun for my kids

    Seems like we've had this discussion many times. I agree with thegunsmith2506. 20 ga is so much more prevalent and cheaper. Also, a .410 is an expert's gun and not forgiving. I ended up (30 yrs ago) getting my son this tiny, light, single shot. It kicked pretty good but I reloaded a couple boxes of the lightest load recipes I could find and it didn't take him long at all to get up to the full loads. The single shot taught him to manage the gun properly with the increased safety afforded by a single shot. NOTE: the gun is only good for 1 or 2 seasons due to kid growth and he will want to get to the multiple shot guns as soon as possible. Finally, if you cut down a stock for the first year, be sure to get another full size -- those kids grow really quickly at around 10 yr old.

    What is it?

    You can estimate the density of of it and check magnetism to come up some data to make a better guess. Or you could put it in a Scanning Electron Microscope with Energy Dispersive Sprectroscopy.
