This year I bumped into a guy, that said he worked on the new game ranch in our area, building high fencing, around the ranch. He said year before last that the ranch had put in some enormous food plots, and had dug a 30 acre lake in the middle of them. All of this centered in the middle of the...

I got to thinking about last years deer hunting, and put a pencil to it, and this is what I came up with. My share of lease $250.00 Gas to and from lease (8 trips) $128.00 Misc expense (Food, T-paper, pop, ice, ect) $185.00 Ammo and Arrow cost $53.00 Processing fee (5 deer) $350.00 New...

About 10 or 12 years ago, I was scouting a pipeline, and found a very well used trail going across. Right next to the run was a huge Oak tree, that had easily climbable limbs up to a huge limb about 20 ft. from the base. It was probably the most perfect tree for a stand I had ever seen. I opted...

Someone with really deep pockets bought the old Valley Timbers Ranch over by McGee Creek, and put up a high fence around the whole thing this year. I'm not sure how much land is there since it has always been a private ranch and I have never been on it, but I am led to believe that it is several...

I guess I will have to keep my trips to the range at a minimum, until the ammo companies get caught up on production. I went to buy some .22 long rifle shells to take the grandkids shooting today, and was told a box of shells would be $4.50 per box, with a limit of 3 boxes. We went and got ice...

I have a grandson that just turned 5 this year, and he is ALL about hunting and fishing. He carries his toy rifle every time he gets out of the house, in the yard ,just in case he sees a buffalo, or lion, or any of a dozen other make believe game animals, that cross his mind. I live on the...

Heard they are going to have a month long contest, starting Jan.12, 2013, to see who can get the most, and largest Python's out of the Florida Glades. Are any of the members going to participate? Are they worth any money for the hides, and are they good to eat? I'm not going to be there for...

The wind always seems to be blowing when I skin my deer, and always winds up getting hair on the meat no matter how careful I am. I have heard guys tell me that rinsing with a mixture of baking soda and water will remove hair from the meat. I have used vinegar and water mixture to keep flys off...

http://thefiringline.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=84965&stc=1&d=135369375 Last Saturday, I shot a deer, on the side of a hill, and instead of dragging it to a flat spot to load it on my 4-wheeler, I elected to drive my 4-wheeler to it and load it where it was lying. The first thing...

Sent to me this morning. Bigger Buck than I saw all week-end, and I don't even have to see the horns.:eek:

One of the guys here at work wanted to start ML hunting this year, and asked me what he needed to get started. After I told him, he went home last night and ordered the stuff he needed. He just brought the list in this morning, and what a surprise I got. Rifle $479.99 Bullets & Sabots $21.99...

I'm re-doing my survival pack so I can get fresh batteries, food, ect. My worst case scenario would be, truck trouble in the middle of an area, where I might have to stay for several days to be found, or have to walk out if necessary. Weather could be 20 degrees to 100 degrees depending on time...

Doesn't look like he is going anywhere, anytime soon, and will eventually tear my feeder to shreds. This will make the second feeder I have lost to bears in the last 2 years. These game camera pictures came from Gowen Mountain, between Hartshorne and Wilburton Oklahoma. I have hunted this area...

I've been playing with the "Spot On" site for the Nikon BDC Reticle scopes, and have noticed that the yardage dots change, each time you raise or lower the power from 4 power to 14 power drastically. The system works fine on my ML but I have a 4X12 Weaver on my .308 My question is: Would this...

I have 3 children who are all grown now, and have families of their own. When they were about 5 or 6 years old, I would take them squirrel hunting on the very first day of season. We would always clean and roast the very first squirrel of the season, at the end of the day, over an open fire...

Last night I saw 7 Bucks running together, out behind my house. The strange part is that they all had racks, and not a sign of velvet. The biggest rack was an 18 point, and the smallest was an 8 point. The question is: Do you think the winter was so mild, that they did not shed, or do you think...

The "Rat Shot" shells that are available for pest control, scatter so bad through a rifled barrel, that your effective pattern isn't much further than 10 or 12 ft. I was wondering if a smooth bore .22 rifle would tend to hold a good pattern any further. Have any of you guys had any experience...

These pictures were sent to me because I own a .44 Super Red Hawk. Supposedly this pistol was loaded with China made ammo. I can't tell what kind of pistol this is, but thought you guys could shed some light for me. Do you think this was a cheap made weapon, or is it conceivable that the ammo...
