So I'll admit right up front that I'm not to smart but will someone give me the answer before I mess something up........... So the question is: Does it matter which way I try and drive a dovetailed sight out of a old Marlin 336? I mean is the dovetail tapered one way or the other? I ask...

It's not often that I find myself in agreement with the fine fringe element folks at the "Humane Society of the United States", a group not to be confused with the much more mainstream "Humaine Society" that we all are familiar with. But in at least part of their opinions on the python hunting...

Will the dovetail on this mount... https://www.rrarms.com/catalog.php?prod=2169B ...... be the same size as the dovetail on a OLD, 40 years or so, Glenfield model? You remember the Glenfield line from Marlin, less of everything but very servicable. Is the dovetail for the back sight on that...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar today announced today that the National Park Service and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, in partnership with the State of Florida and other stakeholders, are renewing their commitment and expanding existing programs to eliminate Burmese...

I have a Marlin 336 with the standard cope base set up on it. I've also got one of the Aimpoint Micro Red Dot sights. While the rifle and the sight are what appear to be a match made in Heaven I am having a little problem with the mount. The standard mount, #63 I think, has 2 mounting slots and...

The tom is sort of a pet. He roosts on top of a big wire coop that is in a long fenced pin. He can fly but sticks around because, as best I can tell, he prefers the company of the goat and the pig that live in the pen. If you look hard you can see the pig in the background. Louann let's them...

Had a rude surprise the other day while trying to contact the South Dakota farmer whos place we hunted pheasants on the last couple of years. The old gentleman passed on!! As Louann is dead set on chasing birds again this fall I've been looking about the web for a new place. Found this guy...

Here is the promised update on the hog hide and how it turned out. Took one my brother in law shot last season..........this one........................ and skinned it carefully, no knife holes. Also skinned the head, leaving the ears on too. Did not remove the shield and also left a few...

Took my 20ga rifled double barrel to the range yesterday. Wanted to check to be sure regulation had not been compromised by some work done to it. Before I set about shooting the sabots through it I went over to the sand test pit and fired a light #8 out of each barrel into the pit. Wanted to...

I know I'm not the only one who gets sidetracked while hunting. It might happen a little more often to me because I've most times got Louann in tow and she's prone to want to catch, dig up or pick up, every small animal, plant or piece of old bone she comes across. The pictures are from Tuesday...

This turkey huning thing.......some of us are out there learning the hard way. Louann and I set up in different locations first thing this morning. All I saw was one spooked doe and a hog walk by ( 20 feet! )that had future BAR-B-Q written all over him. Louann saw nothing. About 9:30 we met...

You'll forgive the quality of the pictures....... A friend sent us a Snow Goose, the smaller dark one, and a Lesser Canada last week to add to the Easter feed for the clan. We also had a turkey shot last week and the salmon. No we did not catch the salmon. That's some of the stuff we sell at...

Walked up on this guy while Louann and I were looking for turkeys on Saturday morning. If he had not been right out in the open we would never have seen him. Wouldn't have seen him because we don't look for them. My theory is that so long as you don't see him chances are you won't have a...

While we were out being frustrated by the turkeys this morning we stumbled across something I've never seen before. Someone had taken a jar of peanut butter, removed the lid and then screwed the lid to a tree much as you would a jar lid under a shelf so you could store screws in the jar by...

Tried something for the first time this year. Usually we just sell the heads from the gators we catch in the fish market. Normally we get $10 to $20 in the raw for them depending on the size. This year we saved the head off of one of the larger ones and tried mounting it ourselves. A friend...

I make a living cleaning fish, have for almost 30 years. Spent some time commercial crabbing, set a few gill nets and even owned a shrimp boat for a couple of years, which by the way is a great path to the poor house if you have someone else run it. One of the things we sell in our fishmarket...

I know it's a bit early, two weeks away here in NE FL, but they are gobbling away. Was out in the boat checking on bedding bass along the west shore of the St. Johns River both on Saturday afternoon and this afternoon and the birds were busy in the woods. It's been warm here the last few days...

While at the range yesterday I picked up 2 strange cases. They have what looks like steel bases while the upper 2/3 of the case is a light blue plastic. marked 7.62 X 51 DAG 95 L0614 on the base. Some kind of goverment .308 I'd guess but what kind?

I should have taken some pictures of this, will on the next one. Learned a new thing, to me at least, the other day. Now I clean fish for a living, have for over 30 years. And I've cleaned a lot of stuff besides fish; everything from armidillos, gators ( We are a state licensed processor. )...

There is a ago old debate between behavioral scientist as to whether our actions are the result of some inate genitic predisposition or if those behaviors are learned. The following came from the Florida Fish & Wildlife Comm. Weekly Action Report for FWC Officers...
