  1. Just in case you were thinking of getting one of these, great cause and a good collectible to boot. These folks can probably use all the help they can get. http://shop.lodgemfg.com/pc_product_detail.asp?key=2A9FEB410AC2488F8DD740AB1C8F8D00
  2. Chile Dip Serves 2-4 2lb Ground Venison Pinch of Sea Salt Pinch Garlic powder (adjust to taste) Half pinch Cumin 2-4 slices of mid size yellow onion (around the middle), finely chopped 3 jalapeños, finely chopped; adjust for heat 1 can of stewed tomatoes, again finely chopped Brown venison in skillet add onions and jalapeño and simmer until onions go clear. Add tomatoes and 1/4 to 1/2 can of water, sprinkle spices a little at a time tasting as you go. You want it a bit on the drier side, but not too dry, so add water slowly. Serve with chips as a dip, or with flour tortillas in a burrito.
  3. If deep in the woods, my RBH .44 mag is by my side along with a meticulously maintained rifle in an appropriate caliber for the game I seek. . But if deep in da hood, I carry my G23. and those 13 rounds are only to get me to my 10.5" 300Blk AR.
  4. That's easy, if you don't have any short comings to make up for, get a .40.
  5. I think he is right, I think we should look to the 2nd ammendment to help with this problem. But instead of keeping us law abiding citizens from being able to react to these situations, how about you let us help take these guys down when they decide to shoot, stab or run a bunch of people over. How did the shooting at the draw mohammed, little m intended, event work out, how about the Ohio incident, or the...well, you get the picture.
  6. More than likely he had something else going on, the incident just put him over the top. His version of having a bad day at work and coming home to kick the dog.
  7. I am actually pretty setup in my condo/stand. I insulated the inside with reflectix insulation on the bottom 4' ish, and a black closed cell foam on the upper portion. With my little buddy heater it is warm and cozy in there. Just wish the deer were more accommodating to my needs
  8. I tried a few recipes but haven't locked in on any as I don't have a dedicated can to keep trying to get one that works right with my setup, 10.5" and 16" barrels, but I do have few in a pdf I put together for the 300Blk. Here are a couple to try, work it down of course. 10.0gr of 2400 with a 220 SMK at 2.260 OAL 9.3gr of 4227 with a 220 SMK at 2.100 OAL 9.5 of 4227 with 208 Amax at 2.095 OAL
  9. Yea, I never really liked A2s, just hate having a scope that high. When I got my first AR, during the AR depression, I ordered an M&P flattop. It took almost a year to get but at the then $800 it was a steal, now I can make two for that price. Anyway, I still have a detachable sight/handle with a scope mount which I traded for, I figured I would use it as trading fodder for AR parts I wanted later.
  10. Still do, I get their emails with them all the time. This one doesn't have the rear sight/handle, but those are cheap too. http://palmettostatearmory.com/psa-20-rifle-length-5-56-nato-1-7-upper-with-bcg-and-charging-handle-1.html?trk_msg=1OFFJERLCTQKB1H0T5DVBOHPDK&trk_contact=FF7IP4D99HJPE49NLEIJFMQ784&utm_source=Listrak&utm_medium=email&utm_term=http%3a%2f%2fpalmettostatearmory.com%2fpsa-20-rifle-length-5-56-nato-1-7-upper-with-bcg-and-charging-handle-1.html&utm_campaign=Daily+Deals+Email&utm_content=12%3a00+Email
  11. Aging venison is just like aging beef, enzymes break down the fibers and tenderize the meat a bit. Of course you have to keep the meat clean from field dress to table, no ruptured guts or bladder, dirt hair etc. I age mine for at the minimum 4 days at 36 deg, from 34-38 is where you want it, above 40 and you may start growing bacteria. Its best if left hide-on in a walk-in cooler, but I gutted a fridge and quarter the carcass, no hide, and hang in there. The I debone and process the cuts to what ever I want, mostly some steaks and grind the rest. If using soon, you can mix your fat into the grind, pork or beef, then freeze. If not using for a few months, I mix the fat upon use. I vacuum seal mine, it lasts at least 5 years, my longest in a deep freezer, but I have used saran wrap then freezer paper and it last at least 2 years in a deep freezer. In a normal freezer it may last less, but I only keep venison there for a few weeks at time.
  12. I'm not done, but took a week break. I process my own deer, and I like to age mine, so I wait until I'm done to try for another. If doe, looking for a smallish one, buck...something with at least 6 points or so.
  13. I do have a way to verify current duty station, but even if it were not the case I would take a set of orders and a CAC card as proof. At 19-20, the chances of them being transferred to another duty station is slim. Average duty at one station is three years, and since this is not a basic training base they would not be transient awaiting their next duty station. As far as I'm concerned, I would have no reason to suspect that their orders were not good, just as I take for granted that a CCW permit is still good even if it was issued years before. As an aside, I wonder how an FFL treats stripped lowers? Since they are neither a rifle or a gun at that point, can an 18YO purchase one?
  14. For many legal purposes they can be residents of either KY or TN, but most will claim the state they reside in. I always claimed TN due to my address, but have purchased guns on both sides of the state line. Same with vehicles, both TN and KY can sell vehicles to military members and give the sales tax exemption. You just need your orders assigning you to Ft Campbell and your military Id to get the benefit. I would be comfortable doing the same thing as long as I can verify both those documents, that would be enough due diligence for me.
  15. Well Ok then, now I have to find something else not to like.
  16. I would look for squirrels in the frames, I had a spot that the squirrels loved to trigger my camera. They are fast enough to get out of the frame before it takes a pic. Another thing is the sun, when leaves reflect it, it sometimes triggers the pics.
  17. Don't feel bad, it took me all week of gun season to finally drop one, a button buck. First two days I seen a few but they just didn't give me a shot. Weather was probably one reason, another, for me, was that my food plot was overgrown with tall grass which hid/killed any food for them. Good thing they still use my draw to travel, or I would be SOL this year.
  18. Ok, my take on it; overall not bad, I like the new contrast between the post and the quoted text in the post, makes it easier to follow the conversation. I miss the "unread content" and "mark site read" links on the bottom, it makes you scroll up to the top to select one or the other but the "back button" refreshes the unread content page so no big issue. As far as changes, I don't mind as long as it's to fix something and not to change for the sake of changing or some other aesthetic issue that does not affect everyone. Having a couple different themes is better than constant changes to the main theme IMO.
  19. I have four different ones, all under $100, and they all have their issues which I doubt throwing more money at them will fix. Battery life, photo quality (some blurred due to movement) and trigger with branches and or the sun/shadows and short distance of trigger. But for me, I can live with all that, I only leave them out a month or so at a time right before season, and sometimes during. I am not after great pictures, what I am after is confirmation of movement, time, species, and sex of said movement. If sun triggers more pics, no issue, the card holds hundreds, blurry, no problem as long as I can tell buck or doe, Battery life usually gives me a seasons use, video slightly less so again no issue I just keep fresh ones on-hand, with rechargeable ones for the AA type. And for the distance issues, I make sure to place at funnels or trails to make sure they are within range.
  20. I don't know, I would at least make sure they were indeed leaving my premises, and if fired upon I would return fire. On the face of it I don't see the problem, but then again it is MI, so...
  21. I quite agree, though I was given some good information it was not what I would call training, at most I would call it an introduction. Training should be an individual responsibility, no other right requires any sort of training. I dare say some of those exercising their 1st should be required to have training instead of us, specially those inciting riots and creating racial divides where there isn't any. No, the 2nd should be treated the same as the rest, with no qualifiers.
  22. 1/2" might be too thin, if you go with plywood I would go with at least 3/4". The dragging part might be a good idea though, specially if steep inclines are involved. I have a skedco I used to use, it should protect the deer from any drag damage, even at that distance. Skedcos are pricey, but they make ones just for deer: https://www.amazon.com/Magnum-Deer-Sleighr-Game-Sled/dp/B001CJI7XA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1480012329&sr=8-1&keywords=Deer+Drag+Sleds
  23. Welcome to TGO, Lee user here as well but any brand will put out good ammo. As been said, get with someone who reloads but confirm what they show you through the manual, other reloaders and some YouTube videos. As for the equipment, my suggestion is one of the turret presses that are sold as kits. It will give you most of what you need until you get to know the process and can decide what you "need" to upgrade.
