A pair of 44 Automags with consecutive serial numbers with a 357 Automag barrel for each one along with loading dies. They were listed for around $1500, this was the late 70's.

The big problem is if people don't change their lifestyle those drugs will never be effective. When my brother in law had his one knee replaced I would take him to his physical therapy. I started just watching the people walk through the doors for the office that his therapist was located in...

Same brother in law but a different hunt. We left camp early one morning and he told me that he had lunch taken care of. After quite a hike and not seeing too much we decided to have lunch. He pulled out of his pack two cans of Pepsi and a tray of Fig Newtons for each of us, that was going...

A number of years ago I was deer hunting in Utah with my brother in law and for some reason the subject of Twinkie's came up and he mentioned how long it had been since he had any. He used to get them every day in his lunch that he would take to work. Well, we came off of the mountain to...

If they haven't been exposed to shooting, trap or skeet I can understand. My ex and I were in a hotel in Hawaii heading to our room and at one spot I could smell the odor of some MJ being smoked. She asked me what the smell was? I couldn't believe that she had no idea what it was knowing how...

What else are they good for? Have you ever tried to cook and eat one?

I've investigate this a couple of times and came to the conclusion that you can't. The factories that are loading ammo will use ABC powder this week and XYZ next week. I believe that the only common factor is the burn rates of the powders. Even when I have found a factory round that I liked...

In my book if you are going to worry about lost or stolen rifles and or luggage you need to worry about plane hijacks and or the plane going down while you are on it. On both of my trips I didn't worry about any of it, if it happens it is going to happen. As to a loss of the rifle and ammo...

I had some people jump all over me for telling a tag holder where I would go and what to expect when I got there on a few limited entry hunts in Utah and some high point units here in Colorado. I just told them that if I don't have a tag for those hunts I'm not hurting myself and am helping...

Explaining how the point system works is a far cry than taking someone out to hunt with you or showing them where you are hunting.

I'm betting on a pass through shot on another elk with this one standing behind the first. I don't know how a bullet would expand and just end up under the hide on a elk without passing through another one. There are hunters out there who don't understand that they need to make sure that...

Points are animal specific. You can't have 10 elk points and use them on antelope, they have to be antelope points. In Wyoming you can put in for the draw but if you don't draw you still need to purchase a point for the animals that you want to hunt. The point purchase time frame is...

I had a number of points that I had collected along with my hunting partner who passed away a few years ago and since I was having a hard time finding someone with close to the points I had so I decided to go on my own. I'm not sure how many points that the unit that I hunted took but I'm sure...

Years ago I was working as a repairman for the phone company in Utah and had a problem with a open wire circuit out in the east desert near the Colorado boarder. I had to climb a pole which wasn't a problem but one pole away was a golden eagles nest with mom, dad, and a few youngsters in it...
