Cue the panic of anyone who has sold this guy a gun in the past 6 months in 3, 2, 1... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Got a 10 pointer on Saturday afternoon so it's doe only from here on out for me. I'll have to be super careful with the new buck regs. I'm being a little different Saturday morning, I'm hitting the woods with a 44 mag revolver. I've never taken a deer with a handgun, I'm looking forward to the chance.

Pour some Kroil on it so it will get down in there and break it loose. Let it soak in while you study on it... like a day. Just did the same thing on an old CVA New Remington Pocket pistol that I recently rediscovered. Built it from a kit when I was about 13, shot it a couple of times in the backyard, never cleaned it and put it away. Fast forward to now and that cylinder was completely locked up...not anymore. Kroil is the miracle oil.

I think you mean Smoky Mountain Railroad over in Haywood County NC.

The Big South Fork Scenic Railway goes by a train that was wrecked in the filming of the movie "The Fugitive". Is this the sort of thing you're looking for? http://www.winding-stairs.com/ The winding stairs walking trail is a little known place to visit in my hometown. http://www.redboilingspringstn.com/history.htm Red Boiling Springs was once the top tourist destination in the U.S. A flood in the 60's wiped out a lot of it, but there are three hotels still there. Pretty interesting, out of the way stuff.

Does the place need to be sound proof and have a backhoe? Sent from my XT1585 using Tapatalk

As stated above, interstate handgun transfers must pass through an FFL in the buyer's state. There isn't an exception for family members. The exception is an inheritance. An interstate inheritance of firearms does not have to pass through an FFL in either the deceased of recipient's state (NFA items have a Form 5 tax-free transfer in this case). ETA: I don't see why ya'll couldn't meet here in TN, have the buyer look it over, etc. and decide if he wants it. If so, you'd then ship it to his FFL in MN. I don't see why you couldn't get paid on the spot when the deal is done, as long as he doesn't take possession of it. That would be no different than any other out of state seller waiting for a check to clear before sending the firearm to the buyer's FFL. Does anyone know of a reason why that wouldn't work?

Handguns must go through an FFL in the buyer's state of residence. Long guns can be transferred by an FFL either here or there, though you may get some static from one here. You can loan an out-of- state visitor a firearm for "sporting purposes" within the state for an indefinite length of time.

I didn't know it was legal to shoot a horse. Good lord that's a big boy, congrats! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I hit one last night with my car....does that count?

I have mentioned in another thread I have hunted 1 week a year in central Wisconsin. This marks my 29th year and over the years I've taken a few corn fed does, 6, 7 and 8 point bucks but nothing massive. I have only hunted Wisconsin during archery season and I have not gun hunted for deer anywhere in about 15 years. Over the years I've seen many large Pope and Young bucks but nowhere in archery range. Like most everywhere else last week it was exceptionally warm but the bucks were chasing and I passed on many fork horns and and 6 point bucks early in the week. Then on the drive home we always beat ourselves up because by the end of the week we usually see fewer deer in archery range and and up with nothing. On the 5th day of hunting I had seen nothing all day long which just doesn't happen very often where I hunt. It had been a long day and I was ready to pack it up and climb down from the tree and as I looked to my right I saw what may be the buck of my lifetime dead down wind from me at about 30 yards. I knew he was going to wind me at any second and I was just going to enjoy the moment and watch him. He was smelling the air with his head up high and kept looking up in my direction as if he knew something wasn't right but not sure why. He then meandered to within 10 yards to my right and being a righty it was impossible to turn a draw on him without him knowing. He suddenly spun and trotted to where I first saw him and as he was moving away I turned and drew. He stopped and turned broadside at 32 yards and launched an arrow. I got a clean heart shot as he went 30 yards and expired.

This is not a "for sale ad" but I've had a few questions from people about the axe/hawk. Just talked to my buddy who made this. This one here is one he made to his own specs and is for himself. He said that if someone wants one just like this with all the angles and detail it would cost $100 plus the cost of the hammer he made it from. And that is with the standard plain handle like in the first picture. If someone wants one without all this detail and a smooth sided head (same blade edge profile though)(in other words, without all the angles and file work) it will cost $80 plus the cost of the hammer. I'm going to do a leather hanger for this one when I can get to it, using the D-ring he's forged for it. I'll post pictures of that when I get it done, but I don't yet know how much cost that would add to the hawk if someone wanted that with it. I'll post some updates as soon as I can. Just let me know it you have any questions. Thanks. Rick

Wanted to update this post with last Saturday's results. Shot this 8 round group, should be around 1.5". This gun has quickly became one of my favorites. Not one bobble, and accuracy with cheap ammo. This was with Wolf 123gr HP.

Man, I hope so. I've still got my eye on a Walther PPS M2, that I'm still trying to convince my self that I can afford it somehow. No luck thus far, LOL. Being poor is a B - - - h.

All you need now is some bugs! Shoot a nuke (10mm) down a big hole and you got a bunch of dead bugs!

Be sure to go to Dillsboro, NC and not Stearns, KY, or you'll be disappointed. Sorry for the confusion.

I've actually watched a video about the train wreck that's still there. I would like to see it. I may add they to my list of places to travel over my 2 week January vacation.

Well there you go. That should solve the problem.

As far as I am concerned they can get used to dusting them.

I came by a place that begs an investigation , behind Dunbar cave, a popular attraction, there are two old cars that seem to of either got caught in a runoff or abandoned on purpose.

My understanding is the g29 use a barrel with different size lugs than the G20/G40. There for it will not work. I know this to be true with with the 40/9mm pistols. The full size and compact models use a different lug size. I learned this the hard way.

It's funny you guys mention "buying in celebration", because that is almost exactly what I did. Admittedly I had bought a few evil rifles in the weeks leading up to the election. As I sat in bed Tuesday night with about $1000 worth of ammo in my Sportsman's Guide cart watching to see how the election went down...TRUMP WON! I was thrilled! I woke the wife up, did a few Tiger Woods fist pumps, and then was in such a good mood, I thought "F' it, I deserve a new rifle after the last eight years of tyranny!"....Then I realized it was 2 am, I could hardly see straight, and decided it was probably best to gun shop with a clear mind the next day. Woke up in the best mood since I was 10 on Christmas morning, did some clicking around on Mr. Gore's interweb, and picked up a 9mm AK pistol....weird I know, but it was the perfect "I'm buying this for no damn good reason other than I want it" firearm. So I concur, let the celebration buying commence, we've earned it ladies & gents!

Observe:

LOL! Put em up when they'll sell, and drag em out when the rush is over. What a business model!

It appears you're correct! I've been on both, and would have sworn it was in Ky, but a google search proves me wrong. The one in Stearns, KY is still neat, as it tours an old coal mining town. Too many trains, and too much bourbon!

Something that always fascinated me in that area was Scona Lodge, a former 5 star resort visited by some huge names until the 1990's. It features a golf course and a trout pond but all but a small trace of it is now gone. Primarily it was was accessed via ferry just below Calderwood Dam in Blount/Monroe Counties, depending on which side you were on because it was difficult to approach from the land side. Here is a write up http://garysoutdoorwanderings2.blogspot.com/2012/02/story-of-scona-lodge.html?m=1

I recently stumbled across something interesting on my way to Citico. There isn't much to see but it's a beautiful area and I appreciated the history behind it. Let me know if this isn't what you're looking for. One of my hobbies is just getting in my Truck and taking the most random backwoods redneck roads in TN that I can find. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tanasi#/media/File:Tanasi-monument-tn1.jpg http://www.tennesseerivervalleygeotourism.org/content/tanasi-memorial/ten3863D31BF29B49865

Oh no lol. I'm just looking for strange places to do homework on and record some short videos. I can see how it would look that way haha!

On straight line with no wire leads. Was fishing for tarpon, but the barracuda were hitting the bait literally as soon as it splashed. This was the biggest one, bit through the line as it was coming up and just happened to land in the boat so it counts. Pay no attention to the hat, it was the cheapest one I could find on the way to the marina lol

Thanks for the enlightenment ! Will send item to his local Sporting goods dealer subject to approval. Am really Pleased & Impressed with the prompt response from TGO ! Thanks Again !

Liberal talk radio. Literally the best form of entertainment right now, and will be for the next 4-8 years. Music-wise: Havok (buddy plays bass for them now): Entheos (another buddy plays bass for them as well)

I think it WILL help all hunting as my opinion is that nothing is normal with the late warm temps. I just got back from a Hog hunt this past week and even though it was cooler it was drier than a popcorn fart and loud as hell!

You can just mail them the slide. They have factory steel replacements and night sight available. Rumor has it if you ship a stripped slide it'll come back with new internals.

Something tells me I'm not on your Christmas list so put me down for #28.

I reckon that's my next day off figured out. Thanks for the heads up! Sent from a mountain somewhere, using telepathy.

Glock is located in Atlanta. I have found the techs that come out to get the guns are helpful and willing to answer any questions you have. Worth the trip if for no other reason than to see the mother ship.

And you can buy a fully restored to original specs 1911 1918 year model for a mere $5K from Turnbull.

So did you hit one or three?

I just rinse it with water. poking a small hole in the cap of a water bottle with the tip of a knife makes a pretty good squirt bottle.

I scored a nice six pointer a little before 11. The deer were really moving to give me 4 opportunities. Hung it up, cleaned and reloaded the rifle, and now in back I the stand!

Sure is gonna be hard for the Snowflake Rebelion to mount an attack, when you can't even buy ammo in their promised land. To quote Hickok45, "life is good". Oh yeah...

They are starting to show back up on the shelves at various Academy's again.

You're probably right. It should be no different than buying a flashlight or scope though. I hope they can get it done.

Just received word that Everything Weapons is expecting some HK VP9's in soon and will be selling them for $559.99 as part of their "door buster" (pun intended) to help generate some revenue after the recent break-in and upcoming repairs.

Don't ask, don't tell. They have no legal right to demand a copy of your HCP. If someone willingly complies, it's because honest people want to be honest. Which in this case would be dumb. Do they keep a copy of your driver's license in the event that you want to park a car on their property?

Seriously. All that buildup for a seemingly normal AR15. Yawn.
