    Anyone else have a fall tag?

    I was up the 83 in 6a and had 3 opportunities at turkey.The first was getting picked off moving.I parked my sxs past a water hole and did a hike south in between two other water holes the birds use and didn't see anything.On my way back to my sxs I had to pass a third water hole that the dam is along the trail and as I was going by I saw birds.I tried to close the distance and it went to sh*t I was busted .I still got two shots and missed .The first was a bird in the ground at around 70 and the other was in the air at about the same.The second was where I called a bear a few years earlier on a turkey hunt .I cought the birds on my way out .Put the sxs in park and grabbed the gun .I was so focused on the birds I never saw the tree I sent a shot into .The third was a hen in the road that just gave me a look and was gone. The birds were quite and didn't respond to any calls.I only had a day and a half to hunt.The elk were still making noise and I did get into a good group for awhile. Did see a few squirrel but didn't shoot any.Saturday afternoon I was all loaded up and hit the button to start the truck and no bueno.Dead battery .That's twice in two years that's happened in the same spot.Long story short I was able to jump the truck with the sxs and get home .Man I suck with a shotgun.

    Max’s Bull of a Lifetime

    Anarchy outdoors makes a muzzle break you could add to your muzzy and they do work.I put one on my paramount pro and it shoots 115 gr of blackhorn .It took the recoil down quite a bit.It might work for you with your son.

    Opinions on Rifles?

    I had a optima it was a older model and shot great.I've got a wolf and took my first muzzy bull with it.Still have that one .I opted for a paramount pro in 45 cal.My dad has the tc and likes it .I haven't had the knight out yet so I don't have a opinion on that one yet .They are making the optima in a 45 cal i do believe .It will give you a flatter shooting muzzy.The paramount pro is a heavy tank but hits hard as heck and will shoot farther than a 50 cal.
  9. Had it on a 10-22 the other day and at 25 yds I could hear the bullet hit the cardboard from the target stand over the gun blast.
  10. Ill be up that way for Turkey but this sounds like good fun during the day and I just got a can for my 22 . makes it nice.

    Stupid hunter

    If you can't tell a wolf from a huskey you probably don't need to be hunting.The dog looks to be between 6 and 8 months old .The article says that the dogs had parvo and were sick.Poor dog didn't deserve that.Huskys are not a aggressive there strong as heck.My husky pup at 6 months could pull me for miles on a skateboard.Hope she gets what she has coming.

    Got my archery bull

    Nice bull!!!
  14. Crazymonkey

    Almost...

    Sounded like my deer in 12a about 10 years ago.Matthews bow at 63 pounds and a rage at 18 yds .I put it right on the shoulder and it sounded just like I hit him with a baseball bat.Didn't get any penetration .Figure the rage didn't open .We spent several hours looking and only found a few drops.Keep at it !!!

    Suppressor alignment rods?

    Just got my first set of suppressors yesterday.What are you guys using for alignment rods? I've seen the blip about drill rod blanks from McMaster carr and the big difference in cost from true alignment rods.

    Suppressor alignment rods?

    The rods are for insuring the suppressor is centered to the bore.If the threads were not cut concentric to the c/l of the bore the bullet could strike a baffle or the end cap and cause some serious damage.

    School me on getting suppressors

    When I order more ill be using one of the kiosk .I started this 2 week's before Christmas with silencer central .Ordered 2 cans.Kept getting e-mails about finger print cards and called them to inform them They had not shipped them per the tracking they still had the package.Two months later I got them .4 weeks after that I got a e-mail that they had all my stuff .E filed in February on the 14th and got approved 8-16.After filling out 4 4473 forms and having to call again and get some b's about not filling the form out correct ( they said I put my social in for my b- day ) I pulled up the form and said I don't think so .Not the first time I've filled one out .I still had to fill out 3 more times .All the forms are the same and correct.I finally got a e- mail with tracking and my cans are supposed to arrive today.Hopefully they are worth all the b's and wait .Won't use silencer central again. They seem to not have there sh*t together yet.

    rental Car

    I don't do enterprise rentals anymore after taking my truck in for service and the dealer used them.Got a car with a cracked windshield and even after telling them the thing was cracked they tried to bill me for it.I didn't want to make a big deal outa it when I dropped the car back off because several people had seen me take my carry gun outa the glove box .So I just walked away and got my truck .When I got home we called and got the manager on the phone and had it out with him.They were going to charge my card for the glass .I said I never rented the car as I didn't pick it up and the wife is not on my card so I'd just dispute the charges .In the end they waived the charge when I called the district manager and had a few words with him.Never rent a car with damage !!! Get pictures or videos of the car when you pick it up.

    Pop-up tent

    I had a pop up and as others mention they are a pain in the a** .The zippers are junk and they almost always leak.There is no room for storage of basic camping supplies.The fridge is a waste it's so small .If you have the space and the means to tow even a small hard sided trailer is a much better option.More space ,good size fridge,stand up shower not with the shitter in there with you ,more water and the grey and black tanks hold more.Used they are just a few bucks more than a pop up but are worthy of the extra money for the value and comfort they provide.
