Thanks for the input so far. I do have a follow up question about the Havalon; how sturdy are the blades? They look a little thin, but the idea of simply replacing a blade is appealing.

3A / 3C general tag for me... needless to say I'm excited.

I found this one while on a recent pig hunt and thought I would share... nothing really spectacular, but I was sure surprised when I found it considering this came from an area not really known for having any great numbers of deer.

I am also interested in this issue; I also have a Rem 700 in 7mm mag that has the stainless steel stamp on it. I beleive mine was made in 1969. It has made me wonder too about a blued stainless steel barrel. Any insight on it would be appriciated. Thanks.

Hi. I'm looking to invest a rangefinder, but was hoping to get some feedback from someone experienced with rangefinders. So my questions are; what range of measurable yardage do I really need? I don't feel comfortable making shots over 400 yards. Also, does anybody have a recomendation for one brand or another? I have found a source of "refurbished" Nikon rangefinders, but don't know if it's really that good of a deal. So any feedback would be greatly appriciated. Thanks.

Hi, I was wondering if anybody could recomend a good tumbling media for cleaning brass. I have been using Lyman treated corn cob media and it does a pretty decent job, but my gripe is that some of the pieces get stuck in the flash holes. Needless to say they are quite a hassle to remove, and especially on longer cases. So can anybody recomend a good tumbling media that won't cause such frustrations? Thanks.

I was able to find some squirrels in 3c two weeks ago, but there were no where near as many as in years past. I wonder if the weather conditions this year affected the squirrel populations.

Thanks to those who have replied, it is very much appriciated. The angle compensation and accuracy on foul weather days are two points I hadn't thought of. The top of the line rangefinders may be a little out of my price range; are there any recomended models in the middle of the road catagory? Thanks

Congrats. Did you happen to score him?

That's a great hunting story. I would encourage everybody to go hunting with your Dad while you still can; I know some of my fondest memories are of the few hunts I got to go on with my Dad.

Hi. I'm kind of new to hunting doves and was curious if anybody would be willing to share a good recipe for doves. I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I thought it might be helpful since dove season has begun. I prepared some dove breasts last night by marinating them in italian dressing for about 2 hrs., wrapping them in bacon, skewering them and cooking them on the grill like a kabob. Just wondering how others cook their dove meat. Thanks.

Thanks to all of those who have replied. I will have to try the slice of jalepeno next time I grill them (that sounds tasty). In response to Hunterjohnny, they actually turned out pretty good. Here's the recipe for the marinade I used: Cover dove meat with zesty italian dressing Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and ground cloves Add some melted butter and marinate for 3 hrs. in the fridge. I wrapped them with bacon and added chunks of bell pepper and onion in between the dove meat and grilled them kabob style. They were pretty good, but I was just curious what other techniques are out there.

Does it fit a 1/2 ton or 3/4 ton? I think the frames are different between the two.
