    Wide EEE hunting boots

    I wonder if anyone knows of "quality" hunting boots in wide sizes. It seems they are difficult to find and very expensive if you do. Does anyone have some they would recommend? Looking for 2000g calf neopreens or Knee-high water-proof. Thx, Shoes

    Exchanging outdoor experiences

    I am looking for someone who would like to exchange a hog hunt for a salmon fishing trip on the Great Lakes (Lake Michigan), leaving out of Chicago. My thought would be that you would fly or drive to Chicago and stay in my guest room (to save money). My partner and I would take you out on the...

    inexpensive cleaning tool for .22 and .223 rifles

    Disclaimer: I'm not so smart that I figured this out. Someone on Rimfire Central wrote about it, I tried it, and will never be without it again. You can make an inexpensive "Bore Snake" for .22 rifles by getting a piece of weed eater cord about a foot longer than the length of your barrel...

    It's official - I SUCK!!!!!

    I've had three shots at 'yotes in the last week. Two of them have been at about 175yd, standing still, broad-side shots, no wind. I put the cross-hairs of the Leupode 3X12X40 just slightlty above center mass and turned it loose. I sat and stared in disbelief as their butts, at MACH 4, faded...

    Bartering hunting/fishing experiences

    I recently found a web site where one person might trade a hog hunt in the south for a deer hunt in the north. One guy said he would trade a trophy bass fishing trip in Florida for a mule deer hunt in the Rockies. I wonder if we should start something like that between members here? I'd love...

    New (to me) Browning Citori

    I just picked up a Browning Citori after a 35 year wait due to cash and family issues. It is an older gun but absolutly flawless, except one small ding on the bottom rear of the stock. It is so stiff to open that I was concerned something was bent, so I took it to a gunsmith. He said it has...

    Marlin 795 and Hyper-Velocity ammmo

    I just got a Marlin 795 auto-loader for just over $100.00. Very accurate and nice shooter. However, the "book" says not to use hyper-velocity ammo. Before I saw that, I had shot Yellow Jackets and they seemed to work fine. Of corse, I won't use them again but wonder what the isse could...
