    Part of it is pretty close to that and I wouldn’t be surprised if I walked past a snake or two. Hard to look for snakes when you’re swatting mosquitoes!

    I hear ya. I should’ve known what to expect with it being May and having gotten 8-15” of rain in the last two weeks. And it being a creek bottom

    Hats on safari

    I agree completely: it’s all subjective. To me, these criticisms are no different than it would be to criticize someone for taking a full bag in Tanzania or searching for a hundred pounder in Botswana or a black rhino in Namibia, among other costly pursuits. I for one hope those who can will...

    Hats on safari

    It boggles my mind that someone can take pride in buying absolute garbage and then criticize others for buying something of quality. I think it speaks to certain people’s deep-seated insecurities about their respective tax brackets.

    Hats on safari

    I’ve only been one time so far and I wore a baseball cap. Next time and any time I go after that I will definitely be wearing a brimmed hat of some sort.

    Snakes!

    Some of the huge operators probably do. Probably depends on the state or area. And the fauna

    Snakes!

    It is a little striking isn’t it? If I were of a certain political persuasion I would submit it to an art gallery and make prints of it. Might be a good seller. It definitely could be interpreted in a certain way, especially to the uninformed

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    Makes perfect sense (y) (y) I wasn’t aware there was such a thing until I saw it mentioned somewhere and I was intrigued. As you know, mine is an automatic BUT I don’t wear it at work so my wear time per week is pretty limited. I will do it the right way (y)

    Spomer's new Parkwest falling block

    Maybe after he gets his titles mastered he can do something about that accent! It’s like nails on a chalkboard to this Okie. That said, I fully acknowledge the fact that my accent would likely be unbearable to many.

    What Watch do you wear when you hunt?

    If I worked the railroad I would have to have a Ball: https://teddybaldassarre.com/collections/watches?filters=Brand_BALL+Watch%2CMovement_Automatic Neat company history. I would think they would be a popular choice for people in that profession.

    What are the ideal components of a Control Round Feed action, and which actions have the best features?

    It’s not so much any single feature as it is all of them. I know there are others that provide something comparable. I like that they beefed it up and that they will build it for a specific cartridge. I’d love to have a rifle built with a single square bridge, thumb cut-out and a Rigby III...
