Identify theft is no trivial matter. Please, stop impersonating me online!

I will always carry the weight for water and fresh socks. My grandfather, as well as many others’, no doubt, once told me to never skimp on boots or mattresses. “You’re usually in one if not the other.” I’ve carried this over to socks and pillows, as I find it wise advice to implement.

This year I’m weighing my options for durable hip boots. Simple lightweight fishing waders aren’t going to hold up, but I’d like something for the marshes where it’s not deep enough to demand chest waders. One of the areas I scouted out recently requires a walk from the truck, downhill through...

I field dress mine because I like to age them a bit, depending on temperature, and because I like to see the effects of terminal ballistics.

I’m a big proponent of physical books, but the size and battery life of the kindle (I have an older paperwhite model I’ve had for probably close to 10 years) combined with the backlight make it hard to turn down. With a little research you can figure out how to email files to the device that...

I have infinity more double rifle books than I have double rifles, but I doubt anyone is going to tell you these aren’t good books to have along the way.

M1 books, Colt book, and Rifle book are sold.

Ex Library copy (with too few checkouts) of Vintage Guns by Diggory Hadoke. It has some library specific markings, but is otherwise in solid shape, as is the dust cover. - $65

Scope arrived quickly, in good order. Thanks again!

I’ll take #1.

Request granted. Lord, have mercy. It usually goes on my hunting “over belt”, but if I wear it on my pants belt on the left side it does indeed have to have the entire belt go through. For the future, I’ve thought about the same carry, but on my left side in order to make donning and doffing...

I was under the weather yesterday and wasn’t able to get any pictures, or form a proper reply. The belt loop is almost continuous, it’s sewn together at the bottom of the sheath. I wear it edge down, candle forward, about the 10:30 position on my front left side. I can reach it right handed for...

Those are exactly the types of trophies I would have a hard time leaving behind. Up against the typical cost of hunting them, that doesn’t seem too awful. Definitely not cheap, but I would think worth doing. Congrats on getting your trophies and getting them home. They look great.

I’m right handed, and carry fixed blades on my support (left) side when on a belt. I like a cross draw for comfort when seated, but it also allows me to draw the knife easily with either hand. I find anything longer than a Leatherman to be uncomfortable in the vertical mounting.

On this round, all prices include shipping to lower 48. I also have a much better supply of shipping materials, so they’ll arrive a little prettier but just as well protected. Mr. Single Shot’s - $100 M1 Garand, Vol 1&2 - $40 The Colt Revolver - $30 The Rifle Book - $20 Additional...

If they remain classified as a firearm, they remain protected by the 2A in states that would otherwise ban them. I’m in the SHALL NOT crowd, but the reality of the legal shenanigans never makes anything straightforward for those wishing to comply.

Yep. It’s a good choice. AR15 platform, not too finicky, great big honkin’ holes. As a management tool, a guy could do a lot worse for a lot more money.

If the buyer puts a can on this, they won’t have much of a local pig problem for long.

Those peeps are pretty great, very svelte.

For the rifle itself, nothing special, but you don’t see Askins’ stuff for sale every day.

This seems like a lower ask than I would think, if the provenance is there. A left hand 9.3/404 from Col. Charles Askins. Cool piece from a collecting or historical perspective, but maybe I’m the only one who thinks so since they’re offering an option for a new 404 J barrel as well...

Looked at them from the dealer side before all the recent NFA changes. They were iffy on value for cost then, and now my opinion is that there are much better performing options out there for not much more money.

It does, thank you. I had no idea they were on there when I bought a pair. I got the barefoot safety toe, which isn’t an option on govx, but my next pair may be the razorbacks and this saves a chunk. Much appreciated.

Jonah Lomu, from where I’m sitting.

I had a shelter/rescue male when I was in Texas. Black Mouth Cur/German Shepherd. One of the most athletic, squirrel chasing dogs you could hope for out of a shelter. All around good dog, definitely would have been a hunter had I more time and opportunity to work him on that front. Anecdotal...

Since nobody makes these, that I have found, even in a semi-inleted form, I’m gonna have to pull a VG and do it from scratch. Project updates TBD, but the action is in hand.

I really enjoy that this community has many people more financially successful than I am that are willing to share their experiences and insights. I take notes and make plans. By the end of things, I’ll have saved a significant amount of money by following good advice and learning from the...

All joking aside, if the byproducts of livestock nutritional needs are more helpful than harmful for the wildlife population, I see it as a winning formula. If you don’t have chickens to follow your cattle, theoretically the turkeys could reduce pest populations as they munch fly larvae in the...

Another option with its own issues is to agree on a quota for an established group of hunters, much like a hunting lease is done many places in the US. The expectation is that they police themselves and the areas they hunt/camp. They may pay less to police themselves, or more for exclusive...

Especially concerning turkey, feed your cattle crushed corn for…science reasons.

Well done. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!

That’s a beaut!

Wonderful battery you have. Excellent.

I don’t have any info for you, but that rifle looks to be in great condition. It’s hard for me to tell, but does that barrel have a full rib? Hubba Hubba.

Take heart! Many a fine adventurer has returned from the bush with some form of ailment. Can’t catch that stuff surfing the couch. Still sucks though, hang tough.

It’s a shame it happens, for a lot of reasons, but contraband, even a piece a snare wire, confiscated while hunting would be a great trophy and conversation piece.

That looks slick. Well done.

I was this close to making a joke about “keep ‘em north of the Zambezi” running through my mind. I didn’t think it would actually be applicable!

Africa or South Texas? That’s a heart pounder enough at home, probably needed a smoke after that considering the larger location. Law of the land vs law of the jungle, if you will.

I’m going to try to be polite here… It’s possible he meant more in line with what is often perceived as an aggressively contradictory stance in many of your posts. Maybe it’s autism, or oppositional defiance disorder, or just good old fashioned grumpiness, but when it comes to discussing...

303 British 300 H&H 404 Jeffery 505 Gibbs The 505 has “limited practical use”, whatever that means, so, assuming plinking would still be affordable under such a regime, I’d consider swapping it for a 5.56 or 22 Hornet. 5.56 covers a wide margin of plinking, varmint and other hunting, target...

I’ve been keeping an eye out for a Remington/Winchester M1917 action that hasn’t been run through a dull bandsaw. I can’t think of a better action for a 505 Gibbs build that’s actually obtainable, and I’ve seen some sporters that were absolutely beautiful. If anyone has any resources (print or...

They get filed down to make a custom job. Most of the “parts” like that get trimmed, honed, filed etc. to fit their new host rifle.

Enjoy it! You can sleep on the plane.

Thank you. I saw his post on social media and knew this would be a better resource for solid info. I’m away from home (hopefully this baby will see fit to be born tomorrow or the next day) and was working with limited resources to get him some relevant information. In the age of technology...

I just wrapped up an Alistair Reynolds book, and I have some H. Rider Haggard on deck. Changing it up from the theology and African hunting that’s been on the palate lately.

I believe in Magnum PI, and keepin’ ‘em north of the Zambezi.

They are indeed two separate questions. I could have stated that better. I’m not surprised. That’s why said serious and honest scholar!

No serious and honest scholar will argue that Jesus never walked the earth. Believing what he said is another story.
