This is exactly why I used the Blazer R8 rental rifle that Marius has available. I might have preferred my own rifles, but leaving them in a Hotel room or the trunk of a rental car after the hunt is not an option. A simple 4457 and your hunting license are needed to rent the firearm and hunt...

I think Romania should be at the top of anyone's list if they are taking a spouse. A great mixed bag could be put together in a week of hunting in the Carpathian mountains. More than enough to satisfy any hunter. Then a week touring the country in a rental car, spending a day in each town...

I'm staying at the Alexis Inn & Suites about 15 minutes away from the Convention Center. I'm all about Lodging close to a Waffle House aka the Roman Coliseum of the South.

Very well said. Any cartridges effectiveness depends largely on the circumstances of its use. Tina loves her 257 Roberts, but she understands that it's best on Deer size game and smaller. Anything larger than a Mule Deer, or more than 300 yards, it's best to use a larger caliber.

Kind sir, I would NEVER do such an underhanded, devious and nefarious thing! ;) Besides, we do have a a Fishing Addiction Group here. :LOL:

Being the troublemaker I am, I'll just pull the pin and walk away. :LOL:

Next year, we may have to look for a bigger place.

Just curious if the Convention Center is anywhere near its max capacity on Friday and Saturday? The evening events and concerts occasionally sell out at events like this, so it's always better to plan ahead. Also, in my opinion, if it's your first time in Nashville and you haven't been to the...

When: Friday Time: 6-10pm Where: Johnathan’s Grill, 717 3rd Ave N, Nashville, TN 37201 Location: Second Floor (Go past the main level bar and up the stairs) Website www.jonathansgrille.com (Germantown location)

Killed truckloads of Deer with 12 and 20 gauge slugs when I was in my teens. Back then only a few shotguns were available with rifled barrels. It was smoothbore barrels and front bead sights for most of the guys I hunted with. Fifty yards was as far as most of us were able to hit a gallon milk...

She's hot.....and sweaty! :LOL:

Although I really liked the Carhartt hat, the lowest price I could find was $35.99 each before embroidery, so I went with a light brown with brown embroidery. The Olive with Gold made the grade this year also. This is the light Brown. Last year, the company I ordered from was not willing to do...

Depends. Static-line jumps with round parachutes, it's scary, but you are going to descend which keeps the parachute inflated. High altitude Freefall parachutes are more like an aircraft wing, and need forward (horizontal) speed to stay inflated. HALO jumps at night are especially dangerous...

This is what my scariest moment looked like. With over 3,000 jumps, odds are it's going to happen from time to time.

Tina and I will be there with more AH hats to hand out. SCI puts on a fantastic show and we plan to chat with several AH sponsors about hunts in 2026 and beyond.
