There are times when I am asked for mine that I have to stop and think about it. It was the same with my landline. When you don't call yourself you don't need to remember it. But I do remember my first girlfriends number from 55 years ago.

I've used a O/U a SxS, single shot, pump, and a semi automatic. With gauges from a .410 up to a 10 ga. If you have it and want to use it then by all means use it

Members who are responding here should realize that we are talking about 22 Lr RIM FIRE and not a center fire rifle primer. I have never pulled a 22 Lr to look at how the priming compound actually looks around the rim. Perhaps I'll do that today when I get my chores done.

Got to have beer with pizza

All of the miss fires that I have ever had have been with my semi autos. Both Ruger MkI target and a S&W. I've never had one with a revolver. And I'd hate to see how much money I have spent on 22 Lr.

Look closely and you can see the seam

U Haul also has painted rear doors that appear to be wide open with boxes about to fall out.

I will admit that I have zero experience in hunting DG or stopping a charge in Africa. But I do have over 50 years of hunting with a handgun, both revolvers and single shots and know the capabilities of a handgun. When people have the idea that a handgun is a capable weapon to stop a animal...

No hostility, but just asking the OP to head to Africa and try his suggestions of using a handgun to stop a charge from a DG animal, and then reporting the results. From his post he believes that it can be done and after 11 pages he still believes that it can be done. It would be nice for him...

I've posted this before but when I was on my bear hunt in British Colombia my guide had a 6 shot 44 mag revolver that he carried in a chest holster. I asked him what he was going to use it for if we had a close encounter with a griz. He calmly stated that he was going to shove the pistols...

I think that what you need to do is to book a buffalo hunt over in Africa. Then tell your PH to stay completely out of taking a shot unless his life is threatened. Then with your first shot take a bad one that will likely just make it mad. Put your rifle down and then go into the brush after him...

Years ago I made some out of yuca stems and just tied them together with some old inner tube. Now I just use my Bog Pod

I personally believe that your binoculars should be a part of your body while hunting. Have you ever gotten out of a vehicle with someone else and left your binoculars in the truck while you walked a short ways to "take a look" and then wished that you had them. Same with your rifle, never...

I was around 6 or 7 years old when I asked my dad how to sharpen a knife. He showed me how to put a razor edge onto just about any knife, I keep all my knifes just as sharp as that today. Any more I get lazy and use the exchange razor blade knife such as Outdoor Edge. If you feel it getting...

From all the misinformation that I have seen come up with AI it's going to take quite a while before I trust it. There are already business that have all the information that you need for finding hunting areas and odds on the draws.
