Carhartt for cold 5.11 for warm. My fleece carhart stuff is awesome in the cold just expect me to pull the little brother in a Christmas Story if I fall down.

Carl's good people. Take all my game to him now. He makes delicious Italian sausage and chorizo with Javelina. He's about 15 minutes from my house.

Best I've seen mini mags in a while is 9.95 per 100. Multiply that by 4 you have 40 bucks no clue on the other stuff though.

Well played sir well played. I keep thinking Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction...

I used Az wildlife designs. My mount is beautiful! The 6 month turn around is spot on.

I had border patrol chopper buzz off the deer I worked in on for my wife last year then when I showed my appreciation, they buzzed me. We had a lantern stolen during the archery hunt a few years back. Not sure if it was illegals or not. Seen plenty of the normal stuff.

Yes

No that makes you a hoarder...oh and to blame for everyone not bein able to find what they need. (Yes this should be read dripping with sarcasm)

Keep an eye on snipershide.

Simple suggestion. Paragraphs. You lost them as you kept going. Maybe bold what each section is. That way folks can find what's important to them/what they need suggestions on. I'd say leave oil on for storing guns to prevent rust. Also parts that need lubrication should have oil or I prefer grease like gun butter. As far as brushes nylon or brass? I'm a nylon guy for rifles and brass for pistols. For fun let us open the can of worms about how often to clean a rifle Oh and bore condition or not? Should I shoot tubbs or no? Run some abrasive paste? Seriously there is no wrong way to clean. My dad has a 30-06 that is over 30 years old. He pulled his patches and brushes back up from the muzzle and hasn't damaged the crown. He never used a bore guide and used a three piece metal rod to clean his gun. The gun still shoots solid groups hard to tell if it's as good as it was, since the shooter is now 70. Still shoots about an inch at 100 though. I know he put 3 in a quarter regularly to show off when I was a kid. That said I unscrew my brush at the muzzle end and only go down the barrel. I use a Tipton one piece rod. I own multiple bore guides. I use that KG system because it doesn't smell awful and I can clean anywhere. I also use CLP.

It's sold.

I don't understand why so many folks need to come here to "vent" "rant" or "experiment" about their own inability to follow directions. You made a mistake. Learn from it and move on.

I see the awesomeness of a deer vs semi. Doesn't mean I want to kill deer with a semi. Lighten up guys, other than the story about leaving all but the back straps and head of an elk that sucks.

Last I heard all the left over tags were gone this year. Guess most folks feel warm and fuzzy about south o' the 10. In the end ones nuts don't have to clank all that hard to be willing to hunt south. Just have to know the risks like most anything else in life. We all have our things in which risk outweighs the reward. Aids didn't make the world celibate...

My wife didn't like shooting her lcp. Said it beat up her hand. She didn't have the racking issues naturegirl described. My wife took over my Sig P232 after the first magazine. Accurate little gun with a fixed barrel. Also it's Da/sa not sa like the 238. Not that it matters but small concealed with that little thumb safety for some is a fail. My wife had two gun toating momma purses. Then a friend from work gave her a coach purse so needless to say she uses that for carry now.

May work better in the classifieds section.

i agree with this. it turns "me time" into "we time". it's good to get the girls out there, but i made this mistake once. you spend more time chasing arrows and trying to figure out why they can't shoot consistent groups than you spend trying to hone your own skills. maybe I'm selfish, but just my $.02 Yeah you may be right but...you may be wrong. Just as likely to end bad not including her. Depends on both of them, I enjoy having my wife along to shoot more then going alone. I would much rather her be along and enjoy the activities I do.

I would suggest going to Archery talk forums as they tend to have a lot of used bows for juniors and/or women. There are some good deals to be had if you just keep an eye out.

Casey I think you summed up my feelings as well.

The thing to remember about any gun you intend to carry and shoot is practice. I carry a Glock and don't have any concerns with contact shots, class 2 or 3 malfunctions. Mainly as I got lots of practice clearing them in Gen 3. As much as I hated Glock the Gen 4 works for me. I agree that less practice makes the revolver a better choice. You're apparently not recoil sensitive so the possibilities are pretty endless.

Midway has 8 rounders as does topgun supply. Sig sure is proud of their mags. http://www.midwayusa.com/product/833547/sig-sauer-magazine-sig-sauer-p239-9mm-luger-8-round-steel-matte?cm_vc=subv1833547 http://www.topgunsupply.com/sig-sauer-p239-9mm-8rd-magazine.html

Keep an eye on other forums. Saw some on snipershide this morning but it was already sold. It was 100 pcs of factory win brass for $80. Lots of sources just a matter of having the free time to keep an eye out.

I use the RCBS electronic scale. Works good for me.

Norma from what I have read is second only to Lapua. Nosler depends on who you ask.

Not color filled. It's easier to fill after the fact. I did my last lower with model paint.
