    freakin dogs!

    Around my neighborhood we have cottontails crawl up into engine compartments all the time. They chew on wires and make a mess. I’ve seen my lab fixated on my old commute car many times because she smells a rabbit in there. She tries to crawl under the car and hold her nose against the grill. It’s comical to watch and I just call her off. She has never hurt the car, but I could see where a dog may try to dig one out!

    45 Colt/45 LC reloading components $150

    Been thinking about reloading. Never did anything previously except shotgun shells. What additional equipment would I need to get started? Press? Powder scale? Powder? Manual? What about brass sizing?

    Anyone shoot Franchi?

    I shoot an Affinity Elite in 20 gauge and love it. Runs flawlessly, fits me well, light to carry, looks good.

    Son broke his femur

    Broke my femur in 1970 playing freshman high school football. Dr didn’t want to pin it because I’d be one short leg gimp the rest of my life. Thankfully my parents agreed and had me put into a full body cast for the next 4 months. Stayed in a rented hospital bed in the living room the whole time. Had a tutor come to the house to maintain schoolwork. Loaded me into a suburban or rented ambulance for routine DR visits and xrays while healing. Got through the ordeal with a matching set of legs and am still pretty darn functional with matching legs now at almost 65.

    Texas whitetail meat hunts

    I’m actually in Texas now on a management buck hunt. I might be interested in the meat hunt as well but the phone number listed isn’t right.

    Hunting in Texas - Recommendations??

    I started doing this two years ago and just booked for a 3rd. On this ranch I’m allowed to shoot a management buck, 8 point less than 140”, 1 doe, 1 wild pig. 3 day hunt costs $2500 bucks. First year I got my buck on my first stand. This year I had to extend 1 day to find the right book. I’ve only actually seen one pig on the ranch but didn’t connect.
  15. Pulled a bone head move last week. Dog and I have been traveling all over hunting quail, jumping ducks, hunting dove. Ive had two shotguns in the Jeep, 12 gauge for ducks, 20 for everything else. We were in 20C last week. I had just checked this tank for ducks and was headed back to the Jeep when this guy pulls up. I unloaded the gun and propped it up on the passenger side tire. I loaded the dog up and proceeded to shoot the bull with him. Well a few minutes later he takes off and I hop in the Jeep and leave as well. I figure out the next day the 12 gauge is not in the Jeep. I drive out to the tank and sure enough, guns gone. Somebody got a real nice, 3.5 camo Duck gun made in Italy!

    I have some meat to donate

    We need to clean a freezer out. We have some beef, deer and antelope all professionally processed. Its from 2016 and newer. Does anyone know if a food bank or charity will take it?
  17. I figure whoever picked it up would keep it rather than pawn it. It was a Franchi Intensity 3.5” 3 years old.

    20 Ga Load Question

    I started shooting Wichester Xpert steel shot this year so that I wouldn’t get caught with lead while combo duck hunting. They’ve got a 3/4 oz load going out at 1325 FPS. They run very well in my Affinity. I mostly use 7 for dove and 6 for quail. They’re not expensive usually about $65 a case of 250

    Secret Dove Spot?

    I’ve got a couple of spots. Second day of late season I got 30. 15 mourning dove and 15 Eurasian. But it’s a small spot and is burned now. Always scouting for new opportunities.

    Fake Yeti coolers?

    Love my Yeti 75. Got it around four years ago when Rogers was running a $250 special on them. Since then I've added a smaller RTIC and ORCA. I have not heard of any fake Yetis.

    2017 DOVE!!!

    I used to have this 1984 Chevy truck. That year I shot a buck and had this cool idea to skin out the nut sack and tie it down over the transfer case knob. I left the hair on but scraped the skin down very thin. Then applied a liberal amount of salt. I stretched it over the knob and tied it in place to dry out. It just so happens it was also late dove season and one day I threw my game vest with dove in it behind the seat. I pulled it out when I got home and cleaned birds. Longer story short the smell of that drying nut sack got really bad over the next three weeks until I finally found out a bird fell out of the vest and proceeded to turn into a jellified biomass under the seat. After puking and clean out the nut sack turned out fine and lasted 10 years.
