Negative Jeff. It'll be later in the year. (y)

Hey now... don't go giving male pigs a bad name. I believe you meant to say "boor"...

Who did the work? How long did it take? And (you can PM me this) how much did it cost, if you don't mind me asking?

All that money you saved by not buying ammo? It isn't going to be very useful in a zombie apocalypse. Nobody facing the undead ever said "Gee, I have too much ammo."

This to me is another "no such thing" topic. One recent example. Most of my ammo I put together myself; it's fun, and I like the extra layer of involvement. However, I have just a few rifles that seem to shoot specific factory loads best, so that's what I use. One is my go-to, my Marlin MXLR...

"Russia is ready to negotiate in good faith" would have been an outstanding headline... yesterday. :rolleyes:

Brent, credit where credit is due: that's one of your better posts, IMHO. And I'm not being sarcastic, I mean it. That said, I don't completely agree, though I respect how you laid out your position. "will wait patiently on the long term positive outcome." The problem I see with that is he...

Believe me: I wanted a Republican outcome. One of the Sunday Fox shows made it sound closer than it should have been.

I guess I got a late start in life and I'm still in the camp of "no such thing". Also, my bucket list is still quite large. By this graphic, I am somewhere between an enthusiast and obsessed.

:S Agree: I am not a trophy hunter per se. The state of Alaska, for my game management unit, says that any antlered bull moose is fair game, and a quick check of many of my bulls would tell you I take advantage of that - I like moose meat. That said, paying for it, I want something more. Not...

That's going to be a scathing indictment of the current administration if the Dems pull it off...

My 2 cents, which, with the price of gold today, isn't much I suppose... As someone who hunts with a .45-70 and has taken a couple buffalo with it, in addition to other species... Is the .45-70 enough for buffalo, with caveats? Abso-freaking-lutely. 110%. Is it on par with a .458 WM? NoPe...

I agree that he is honestly trying to do what’s best for the country but i can do without all of the bloviating. Not one reason in the world talking about a third term or taking over Canada and Greenland. I agree with most of that. I might even be willing to concede he is doing what his ego...

:sneaky: Mine had a .416 Rigby. Totally not needed. Both times. Happy enough he had it though. You should totally take the .405...

"Now I personally have no issue if one wants to hunt Buff with a 45-70 and his PH is on board with it. As long as everyone knows the risks and are patient enough for the perfect shot then fine. But let’s not start posting that the 45-70 is a better round for killing Buff than the 375 H&H or...

"Legal not legal" Illegal, and indisputable. So said state and federal agencies, and he was found guilty. What he did was not only illegal, but reckless and indiscriminate. Plain and simple.

And, in this case, IMHO, there is comfort in that.

You are consistent, and you don't disappoint. Absolutely the level of class I would have expected, and exactly why it's easy for him to play you the way he does. ;)

Cheap violin? That itchy feeling you are experiencing is Trump pulling his bow across folks like you. :ROFLMAO:

:S Agree:

No, I do not believe it is a "break even". More of a 2 wrongs don't make a right. Just because someone else does something wrong does not make it right for me to do the same. Again, I don't think we have a common basis for discourse on this.

Clearly you and I have different ethical and legal standards. :E Shrug: I find what he did with those meatballs reprehensible and utterly indefensible, and there is no way to talk it into something less than it was.

A "will" he and his administration leans into heavily for pretty much anything else, to judge by how often it gets mentioned in sound bites.

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

I have zero issues with killing wolves... legally. He broke the law. A number of non-target animals died as a result of his method. He confessed. And then after the fact denied it, which means he lied at least once. Which to me means he loses a lot of credibility with regards to his videotaped...

Lechwe... and a decent one I think.

"For the life of me I honestly can’t understand why he is so fixated on “peace”…" My opinion? A single word: hubris.

Never mind. I Googled it. What a twatwaffle. :rolleyes: Yeah, sounds like a stand-up citizen. https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/animals/a4160/4231025/

:unsure: Do tell....

I guess I'm not feeling like Vance is a 100% more certain option? That Oval Office Zelensky dust-up left me a little shaken.

It makes me think there was a lot more to the story than the cost of a plane ticket.

One is on my wish list good sir.

"a CEB will take an texas heart shot and leave the chest." Indeed. On my last trip I put one in the chest of a large black wildebeest bull and exited by the arse. On my first trip I shot a buffalo in the same place and it almost exited the hindquarter.

"Yes, a 45-70 with the right loads could kill buffalo, elephant, and so on. For the lever action fans, go for it! Me, for elephant I'll stick with a .458, .416, of in a pinch a .375. And of course if a loaner rifle a .404!" Bingo. Succinctly and well stated Mr. Ouellette. (y)

"Putin probably thinks he’s a swell guy"... I almost spewed morning coffee reading that. It makes me think of bad guys in movies who eventually say something, on the cusp of being killed by the good guy, to the effect of "it wasn't personal."

I put together my own. But that's pretty much SOP anyway.

"hubris or ignorance" Well, Trump has both soooo... :unsure:

... and shot placement. Well done sir.

Funny looking moose Ryan.

Just venting a little Phil... :p A guy can hope, can't he?

Satisfactory? I don't think that exists. I'd settle for a return to the pre-war borders, Russia paying for every bit of the destruction caused, and Putin hanging from a tree. Paraphrasing Augustus McCrae "I'll say this, Putin; you're the kind of man it's a pleasure to hang. If all you can talk...

.... UNLESS... you kill the buff with the first shot. ;)

The first 17 years of my adult life: elementary teacher (all grades, K-6) and coach (JH and HS basketball, football, track, volleyball / little league softball and baseball). The second half of my adult life: I am now two months shy of 18 years of working for the USFWS. I started out as the...

Greetings to one and all. To those who know me on this site, I've done my fair share of hunting. That said, I am hoping to use some of you as a sort of cheat sheet, as I begin to dig into what I can find out online about my questions. I have a friend in Oregon who has hunted but not harvested...

On my 2... I used a 325 grain brass solid that left my 18 inch barrel at something like 1900 fps - I don't remember the exact velocity. One was a frontal shot; the bullet was recovered from the back of a hind quarter. The other was a broadside running shot. It broke ribs on both sides and was...

Totally agree.

I do appreciate that good sir. I guess my thought would be that some of those maybe would struggle with any platform or caliber, if they don't adequately prepare. I was in constant communication with my PH during load development and practice. His input was critical.
