I would nominate the inventor of the Thermacell for a Nobel prize.

Just about every electric utility has a trading floor and some have multiple trading floors. Because of electronic trading, trading floors are distributed all over the country. For example the Philadelphia Stock Exchange is the major trading venue for derivatives.

6.8 Western. It is a 270 WSM tweaked to take higher BC bullets. You might have a problem with 270 WSM ammo availability in the future. It never caught on. The 270 WBY is also one if the least popular WBY calibers.

Thanks. I was already aware of that. Flying out of Trenton with a firearm is even worse. Nobody had any clue about the rules. One person told me it had to be in a locked case inside my luggage. That is fine for pistols but difficult with a rifle. Good thing I went 3 hours early.

I have been wearing wool socks with synthetic liners for 50 years. The wool socks can be worn multiple days and the synthetic liners can be rinsed out at night and will be dry by morning. Clothes will be washed on safari but my wife and I do a lot of hiking and there is no washing service.

Thanks. I am in Princeton, a little less than an hour from EWR.

There are several Customs and Border patrol offices in or around Newark. One in Terminal B at the airport, another in Elizabeth and one in Morristown. and another in Jersey City. Which one should I use for getting a 4457 signed? Thanks

I also have a Beretta 626E but mine has a 26 inch barrel and Beretta Mobil chokes. I bought it for upland hunting but found out that I do better with it at skeet and sporting clays than with my Beretta 694. We have some side by side matches around here where most of the competitors are using...

I have two thoughts 1. The PH was showing Marcus how to chamber a round silently, which leads to the presumption that Marcus was not allowed to have a round in the chamber. This might be a standard practice by the PH for all clients or it might be that the PH did not trust Marcus with a round...

What is this “too many” thing of which you speak??

Good luck with your hunt in Spain. Last year my wife and I walked the Camino de Santiago where we stayed in a hotel that had massive roe deer racks in the dining room. I hope you get one that big. It also gave me an itch to go after one myself.

I have a Mark X that looks very similar except that it says Mark X on the receiver instead of Whitworth. It only says Whitworth on the recoil pad. It has the same case hardened grip cap and a three leaf rear sight. The wood looks very similar as does the cheek piece.

That is much nicer wood than most Tikkas. I have a wood stocked Tikka that looks like stained birch.

Blackhorn 209 does not exchange exactly with black powder. 100 grains of FFG is equivalent to 82 grains of Blackhorn, which is why many of us Blackhorn users weigh charges rather than use a volume measurement. Blackhorn also produces a lot less smoke than Black Powder and cleans up much easier...

Thanks for letting me know. Wallabees is the Clark trade name for their brand of desert boots. I have been wearing them since the...

Taiwanese already speak Mandarin. When Chiang-Kai Shek took power he made it very uncomfortable to speak Taiwanese and Mandarin became the official language. In the interim, Mao “simplified” written Mandarin while Taiwan continued to use the traditional written form.

A 31/2 inch 12 gauge turkey load has 71 foot pounds of recoil. I only shot mine once from the bench. A 3 inch 2 ounce turkey load also has stout recoil in my 6 1/2 pound turkey gun.

South Carolina still allows shooting an hour after sunset. The logic is that it is allows finishing off a wounded deer. A knife would also work, though.

The Redhead ripstop shirt is on sale for $17 right now. I just bought another in green.

I am really sorry to hear this. At Clemson, if anyone asked what to do on weekends the answer was “Go to Atlanta”.

Scientific name Alces Alces is also called moose or Eurasian elk. In Canada we call grouse partridge and call walleye pickerel. It is quite common to call the same species by different names in different places. The one most confusing to me is bonito, which can be either delicious or...

10 percent is probably on the low side. I attended my high school 50th anniversary where there was a list of deceased classmates. It was more than 20 percent of the graduating class.

I have degrees from both Clemson and South Carolina. I don’t know for whom I should cheer.

Social Security funds were not mis managed. They were spent. What I and my employer paid in Social Security went to my mother who lived for [emoji640][emoji[emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]][emoji640][emoji6[emoji640][emoji638]]] years after she and my father started collecting.

I grew up in upstate South Carolina, Greenville specifically. It would be a great place to retire. Decent weather and reasonably good health care. Lots of public land for hunting and not too expensive clubs for private land. I have a vacation home in St Michaels in the Eastern Shore of...

The last time I was in Mexico was 1994. And that was the last time I was in Mexico.

Thanks for your help. I contacted Gracy Travel and Henry to make arrangements. I am hunting with a buddy who will overnight in Johannesburg. This information will be relayed to him.

Will do. Thanks.

Thanks. I thought so but wanted to make sure.

If booking Qatar Airways to Johannesburg and then SA Airlink to Victoria Falls does baggage get checked through to Vic Falls or do I have to pick up luggage in Johannesburg and re-check it in before the Victoria Falls flight? I would like to bring one firearm and am concerned about checking it...

The woodcock pile up at Cape May at Higbee Beach waiting for a favorable wind to cross Delaware Bay. The dog would have to decide which bird he wanted to flush. I live most of the year and do some bird hunting in New Jersey but also have a house on the Eastern Shore in Maryland where I do most...

BTW the dove hunting is centered around Cordova but stag and blackbuck are in La Pampa. They are a long distance from each other. It might be two plane flights. One back to Buenos Aires and another to the other location.

Another recommendation for @MG Hunting. The stag and blackbuck hunting is great and the food is exquisite. The food at the lodge is a match for James Beard award winning chefs.

Last year about this time KYGUNCO had a massive sale on CZ 600s. They were around $400 for the basic plastic stocked model. A fellow club member was shooting handloads in 308 while I was sighting in a new rifle. His 600 was shooting reasonably well. Near MOA but not quite.

My wood stocked T3x Hunter shoots great without a bedding job. The Hunter model is the only one that was offered in 6.5x55 that I could find. The Forest (also wood stocked) also is catalogued in 6.5x55 but I have never seen one for sale.

Married men do not live longer than single men. It only SEEMS longer.

Congratulations. That is a trophy boar.

That might have been before Truth in Lending when quoting an add-on rate was legal. 1.9 add-on is 3.7 APR.

I have an XP-100 single shot made into a High Power Silhouette rifle by Evelio McDonald in 7mm-08. It has a Jewell trigger set for less than a pound, a Hart barrel and McMillan stock. I shot one match with it before our local club stopped doing high power silhouette. The other local clubs...

Where are you in NW Ontario? I was born in Terrace Bay.

It is not just South Africa. In Spain a long the Camino de Santiago route, a 3 course meal with a bottle of wine varies between 12 and 20!euros, tax and tip included.

I just received a German post and crosshair that was put into a steel Redfield Ultimate Illuminator 4-12x56. The original crosshairs were too fine to see 30-60 minutes after Sundown. The post shows up. My shots are all on hogs at 100 yards or so. South Carolina allows shooting until 60 minutes...

About a year ago a Wall Street Journal article stated that, at 65, a person typically has 5 to 8 good years before health problems interfere with retirement plans. Unfortunately I read it two years after retirement at 71 and just following a triple bypass open heart surgery in September 2023...

If I had any magnum primers left I would be guarding them as more precious than diamonds. I can buy all the diamonds I want but not magnum primers.

Virtually every classic American side-by-side has double triggers and a pistol grip or prince wales stock. That includes Parker, Fox, LC Smith, and Lefever. I could post pictures of mine if needed.

South Carolina Fish and Game did a survey on cartridge and bullet effectiveness a few years back. Deer shot with a 25-06 went less far after being shot than any other cartridge. SC deer tend to be small bodied so it doesn’t mean much for elk, but I thought it was interesting.

You can buy new guns meeting your specifications from Fabarm, Connecticut Shotgun, Dickinson, Fox (not the original) and several Turkish manufacturers. The Fabarm and Fox are in the $3-4000 range. Forgot Rizinni and Beretta. The Beretta 486 is about $6000.

My favorite sunscreen is from Shiseido, which is an expensive Japanese cosmetics company. I tried some that my wife bought and won’t use anything else. Because it is not aromatic I can use it near my eyes without my eyes burning. It is very expensive but I don’t use a lot. Later I found out it...
