Went out this morning and seen 5 Hogs. Two of them went "Wee, Wee, Wee", all the way to the cooler. This little sow dressed at 150 pounds taken during a LEGAL hunt . Have a blessed day! Dave

Stick a lens-looking thing on one of these and strap it to the same place. Problem solved. ;)

Just because you are a true believe doesn't mean that you want to die. God says to die is to gain: however, I still worry for my wife and family. I'm not afraid to die, but I do fear how I die. You can't reconcile forgiveness because you can't think as God does. That's a hard thing for people to grasp, and they complain that God doesn't do what we think God should do. Well, we aren't God.   Again, this isn't a good venue for this kind of conversation. This is best done face-to-face with someone who's well-grounded in the Bible; not religion. God isn't about a religion; he's about a relationship.

I would have have said "atheist". Oh wait .... ;)   But seriously, I don't have to stay totally consistent with that ... iffen the shootin starts between you Christians and the Muslims in the streets, I reckon I'll shoot at the Muslims, since I already know English and all, and youse guys won't put me to death as a non-believer. ;)   - OS

  I personally do not see it that way.  Scripture tells me to put my faith in Christ even over my life - all of it.  If not, why believe in Him the first place?   Now... do I have the ability....  I hope so.  I would live in shame the rest of my life otherwise.

i have a gps unit that works everywhere that may fit inside of or outside of a game cam housing. if anyone is interested contact me off list or through the message feature. these bad boys are small, cheap and work as good as 10k gov units ive worked with.... edit this way once they swipe the unit,you can track it,and nail em...this satellite unit works everywhere w no blackout areas. catching em might make it worth the investment...

Sorry for the loss of your father....   If they had been willed to me from my father there is absolutely no way I'd trade or sell any of them ever....

You can always use the trick where you put out a cheapo camera as bait and have another well hidden camera close by to get pictures of the theif, just depends how bad you want to catch them and how much risk you are willing to take.

Isn't it ironic that law abiding gun owners are being attacked by someone who should rightly be in prison on several different offences?

Consider an M1A or perhaps an M1A Scout Squad.  I recently acquired one in Walnut and it's the bee's knees.  Haven't scoped it or reached out past 100 yards with irons yet but it is more than capable and I find myself questioning the need for any other rifles.   http://www.springfield-armory.com/products/m1a-scout-squad/

  You can have your own opinion, but not your own facts.  And you can't spell Peyton.  :)   - Tee Martin was the QB of the national championship team. - Fulmer beat FL 3 more times after Peyton - Fulmer beat Bama 6 more times after Peyton   - OS

This one is made from 1/8" 1095 carbon steel and has black canvas micarta scales with yellow G10 liners with kydex sheath. It has jimping on the spine just in front of the handle and up near the point for better grip during skinning. It's headed to Minnesota to it's new owner in a day or two.

Denying him and telling a killer what he wants to hear are two very different things. Just like our laws; it’s all about intent. I’ll say whatever someone wants to hear if it keeps me alive. Anything less makes no sense.

  ?? Fulmer was 11-5 against Bama.   And yeah, only 5-12 against FL, but 5 is a helluva lot better than zip in the last 11 years, huh? Plus one of them was on the way to a national championship.   So let's put Fat Phil's record in a bit of context here.   - OS

Found this today, whilst antelope hunting up in Wyoming. Perfect, un-chewed, unbroken 6 point.

I think with the difficulty we had getting the park carry law passed and signed into law shows the great difficulty we would have in legalizing carry in colleges and more so K-12 schools in this state with a handgun carry permit.  You will never get college carry legalized in a Constitutional Carry law in this state.  In roughly half the states you can carry on a college campus, with a license.  Out of that half, maybe ten you can legally also carry in K-12 schools, again with a license.   The politicians in this state somewhat tolerate the handgun carry permit system and like to throw a few crumbs toward improving it every so often so they get a vote.  It is important to remember that the House Speaker and the Lt Gov/Senate Speaker could have never allowed a floor vote on park carry.  The recent democratic house speaker never would allow floor votes on any bills that improved the handgun carry permit.   I think you'd have a greater chance in dropping the 'no guns' signs penalties for people with permits and maybe college carry with permits before you would ever get Constitutional carry.  With limited time during legislative session, that is what I would focus efforts lobbying for.   Gun rights organizations just need to work the best way that they can with committee chairs and other key legislative leaders, especially with realistic bills that make sense in improving the permit system.

Poke the bear...Pay the price. Gosh...what a whiney female.

Getting my 5 month old grandson one next week. I was never aware of this until recently, what a bargain for $200.

I think it looks Great. Maybe 2-loops a little bit wider to help distribute the weight.

I learned many years ago not to fear death so long as it is quick. What I have also learned over the years I have become more afraid of life than I fear death. What the medical industry considers life is any brain activity what so ever, breathing and heart beating. To me that is not life, but existence.  That is my worst fear. If I am to die let me die fighting with honor and dignity and not a lab experiment.......................JMHO

I was glad to see so many responses to my confusion question. It clears up quite a bit. Like I said , I am not a Bible thumping church every Sunday christian. I do Love God the Father and Jesus his son with all my heart, was baptized in in a river along with about 20 other folks in Kingston Springs as a child and then again as an adult to reaffirm my dedication to my beliefs.  Like others have said, if I am ever faced with a situation like that I hope that I will be packing because I will not go quietly into the night without doing everything in my power to take the bad guy with me...................jmho

  Islam is much more pragmatic on this issue, since it's fine to lie to infidels for a variety of reasons, in this case that being saving one's ass. That's certainly at least one thing it has in common with my own belief system. ;)   - OS

Might want to check this out  https://www.tn.gov/twra/article/wild-hog-regulations   If you are not in compliance I'm not sure I would be posting.

You sir, are closer to the Gospel of Christ than you might think. 

And Peyton never beat FL

If I were about to be executed for my faith, especially in front of many others, I would pray for the strength of Samson and the speed of light to overcome him. And then use everything I had to send him to Lucifer.

Yea, I think your right. I got mine at $10 bucks and I think the next year they were $12 bucks and then went up big time because more and more Baby Boomers are getting ripe enough to buy them these days....... :rofl:

Not a tech person at all, anyone who knows me has found that out. lol   So most of the preceding comments went right over my head.   I will hold on with what I have now until forced to change. Then I'll have to find someone to help get me up to date I'm sure.

It's a blast! Lots of driving & glassing. Completely different from hunting in TN. It helps to be totally confident out to 500yds+ (I'm not...) because these rascals have eyesight like you wouldn't believe!

Thanks R_Bert. Placed an order for my new camera tonight. I like the claymore idea. Bet TWRA would frown on that!

Thats actually a really good price. Had one and down sized to a 26 - never gave me any issues. Id be all over that like Bill Cosby on unconcious groupies. Sent from my SPH-L720 using Tapatalk

Well, sir.........these are very sweet indeed!  Well done.

Believe me, I will.  This gun has a bit of a story behind it... I just really started getting to know my dad back in May (I'm 30), and we started because I found out he had been diagnosed with ALS.  We are trying to make the most of what time he has left.  The fun thing is that I am virtually his clone in many, many ways.  I am also getting to know my two sisters through this process.   All of the guns I currently own have come from a grandfather, my great-grandfather, my father-in-law, and my father.  None of them will ever be sold.   Brandon

Some people justify abortion in their minds because they are told by pro-abortion folks the fetus is not really a life until it's viable outside the womb. They go on about their daily business since abortion was deemed legal by the courts. Taking something that anyone agrees is a problem but is disinterested in solving is drunk driving. Over 10,000 each year are killed by alcohol related accidents but were's the proportional outrage? It's crystal clear this is not about solving gun violence, it's all about disarming the general public.

What I continue to find amazing is the hypocrisy in this country. 7-8 kids college kids are killed in this shooting and the left freaks out.   Yet millions are aborted each year and the left defends planned parenthood. I really don't have that strong of opinion about abortion but I find this particularly frustrating.

do you have door gunner mount for your stand?

I would redefine your purpose for the bag.  I see a lot of good idea fairy stuff in there.  If it is a get home bag you need to focus on that.  If it is an always be prepared bag you are doing awesome!  In my opinion you should be able to move 20 miles on foot in 5 hours over improved roads.  Double that if you are going through "the woods".   If it is a get home bag I suggest the following.   Add a pair of hiking boots. +1 extra socks +1 TP Maybe a small bottle of bug spray.  Small like 1 - 2 ounces.   Get waterproof topo maps.  They will cost you a few bucks, but are worth it.   I would ditch the stainless cup, Nalgene and Platypus in favor of something like a Stanley Adventure 32 oz Multi-use bottle/cup.  Or if you are a baller get a titanium one.   I would ditch the filter and rely on tablets or bleach with boiling as a back up for water purification.   I would ditch the candles or road flares in favor of chemical warmers like Hot Hands.  Ever tried to control shock on the move with candles or road flares? I would ditch the fire steel and get more Bic lighters.  If you are worried about redundancy pack two.  If you are worried about water intrusion put the second one in a waterproof container.  If you are worried about cold put it in your armpit before use.  Then I would put a 9V battery and some steel wool in my pack as an alternate.  Esbit cubes and stove is killer.   I would ditch the poncho, tarp and bivvy in favor or a set of lightweight Frogg Toggs.  I think you are well covered with chemlights, a headlamp and a spare flashlight.  Good job.   I would discard your entire PSK. Insect headset looks like a pain in the butt.   I would ditch the para cord in favor of a spool of 40# braided fishing line. I would ditch the waxed thread. Zipties and Gorilla tape are bomber. N95 mask is a good idea. Write in the rain paper is cool. Ditch the pen.  Add a pencil or two. Ditch the sharpener, use your knife. Cool knife sharpener, hard to imagine you would need to sharpen a knife after only a few hours. Ditch the entire REI bag except the compass and add a few more Cliff bars.

Who else was rooting for the bear to take her pepper spray away from her and spray her with it? :D

I wonder if you could send the car to work and call in saying the dam thing left without me?

I have a gripe about headlines like that.  It gives the impression that Waffle House has a company-wide policy, which is inaccurate.  It was a single restaurant owned by a moron.  When I was a LEO, I was never told to disarm at any of the Waffle House restaurants I ate at.     Now, if one wants to gripe about the general policy prohibiting firearms (except for law enforcement), that is a different story.

Reminds me of that Kentucky Jelly stuff.......ain't good at all on a biscuit! :puke:

Yeah I'll pass on the first annual TGO Wet 'n Wild cleaning party.

This thread is......beyond the realm of strange...

Used to hunt Bicolor quite bit, but it's been several years. Saw quite a bit of hog sign, one of my buds saw a bunch of hogs , but never got a shot. Probably about equal at either place. Wish you luck.   Did see a few back then that had been killed. Mean looking cusses.

We had our first "cold" snap and it has already started. As I am sure everyone has seen this, the winter months tend to shorten men's fuses when we cannot get out as much. And when our fuses get shorter our responses get longer and sometimes we say things with the intent of hurting our fellow members.    Remember, we are a large family but a family none the less and that we all came here because of common ground. Every single one of us has something in common with everyone else here so lets try to find a little more common ground rather than try to figure out our differences.   And in doing so lets try to be a little more tolerant of our fellow members.   Right now we, as Americans and gun owners, are in some very stressful times so now is the time to support one another if for nothing else than to help ourselves make it through the times we are in. We MUST come together for the good of us all and that is just not possible when we are bickering among ourselves. How can we all stand united, as Americans and gun owners, when we are trying to find the differences?   So I ask for anyone involved in a heated discussion to step away from your computer for a few minutes and then reread your post before hitting submit. It might save the edit to fix that misspelled word you missed the first time as well as hopefully preventing someone from posting something they might regret.   Thanks

Same applies here.

Can I be a Ninja Turtle too??? :)

A lot of what Dolo and the other keepers of the house are addressing is covered in the sites rules of conduct. We all agree to abide by them when we join and post. Big boy rules and all that. Bottom line, if dissenting opinions offend you, or will cause you to be less than neighborly, Political and General chat may not be your ball of wax.
