We have been foster parents for 10 years. We adopted my 4 year old son, who was a foster child. He came into our care at 2days old. The adoption happened when he was 19 months old. It was stressful but be is awesome. We now have 5 kids and 2 foster kids. The 2 foster kids are native American and have been with us 6 1/2 years. We would adopt them but we are not native....my rambling is basically to suggest foster kids.

Hunting with a 9mm carbine?
cactusjack replied to Rock30golf's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Arrows and bullets work in completely different ways. Not a good comparison. A 357mag pistol is used for deer, the energy from a 9mm carbine should be similar -

What I remember reading is they are going back to it. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/world/national-security/fbi-moves-back-to-the-9mm-round-which-it-once-shunned-as-ineffective/2015/10/31/d7d0b994-7e80-11e5-afce-2afd1d3eb896_story.html -
Hunting with a 9mm carbine?
cactusjack replied to Rock30golf's topic in Rifles, Reloading and Gunsmithing
Im gonna say yes. Depending on bullet type and weight and shot placement. The 16+ inch barrel you get good velocity and energy. It wouldnt be my first choice but it will work. http://www.ballisticsbytheinch.com/9luger.html and there is an energy chart you can open too. -

It's easy to make judgement calls from afar. I know a few of my fellow Vets that due to a TBI or PTSD are now cursed by demons. He served a brief combat tour and got an honorable discharge. It's a shame he ended up doing what he did, and dying from it. I think about things a little differently, we are all one chemical imbalance or head injury away from being in a similar situation. Just a different point of view

When I'm hoping to gut shoot a running deer at 1200yds I want the fov. Feel free to set yours up with what suits you.

You are missing the full range. 3-9 without the triplet and 9-27 fully engaged
-
The only downside to my setup, is the lack of clarity, the intense headaches and lack of eye relief, but other then that, its awesome. I can shoot out to 2000 yards with it. I call it my first focal+second focal special

Im working on a new setup. I have a Simmons 3-9 with my Jim White Tripler attached. It gives me quite an advantage, 3-27 power. It is quite a setup.

backpacking tents.... what are you guys using?
cactusjack replied to 1denogean's topic in Other Hunting Gear
Nice. My favorite part of the Hilleberg system is that it is a double wall tent that you set up with the outer wall and inner wall at the same time. In a rain storm, the inner tent stays dry. Great design -
that is a great setup. Should not last long.

That is sick! Awesome rig

I will take the trigger

Second, if sale falls through. please.

Finished beef steer going to butcher now

I've spent 1200 on a elk hunt and ended up eating tag soup. This was a great deal. -

Backpack hunting in the SNOW/COLD you must have a way to dry your boots and clothing. You can do most of your cooking on the stove and warm up after being out all day long when the temperature is in the teens or much colder. A heated tipi is light, and gives plenty of space for its size. I have Seek Outside four man and large stove, its a little big when your by yourself but I can stand up to stretch when waiting out a storm. Lots of room for fire wood, and I stand up to get dressed. It can with stand a blizzard and weights only 7. 3 pounds with stove. They make smaller tipis and up to a 24 man tipi. If get on their mailing list they have second sales, I only paid $530 for my 4 man. https://seekoutside.com/ I looked into going with a teepee but I mostly hunt in the desert and there are too many critters and bugs moving around for my liking. I would love to try one up in snow country. I will get on their email list. -
One of my girls will use my kimber Adirondack in 6.5 on her youth cow hunt. I'm shooting the 143gr ELDX. It stacks them and suppressed it's a baby to shoot

And 5 kids that hunt

Just what I need, another tripod. I will probably end up adding it to the herd.
