Actually, your not wrong. I dremmel may be able to just remove enough material to accommodate the scope with possibly not having to cut the rail off. How much clearance do you need, and do you have pics?

I had been out 4 days, and only seen a coyote, a bunch of squirrels and chipmunks and one fat little woodchuck. I had finally decided to come out of my stand about 5 minutes before I couldn't see and there they came, by the sound of them there had to be at least 5 or six of them. I kneeled down to get one in the scope hoping it could gather more light but nope, only managed to see a tail before I lost all the light. Still, snuck away with a smile since just earlier I didn't think mother nature would share her bounty with me. Went back out again today, perfect temp, a bit breezy but not bad. I usually stay in my stand till noon before I break for a bite, today I had decided I was going down at 11, but just as I was getting ready I glimpsed a doe going down the hill into an area I could not see into. I decided to use a bleat to see if she would reappeared, took about 5 or 10 minutes till two reappeared. I put the scope on the closest one but she had her vitals behind a tree so I used the extra time to slow my breathing and waited for her to present me a shot. Seemed like forever but she finally gave me a quartering shot. I dropped her with what turned out to be a lung shot, cocked for a followup (reflex, never used one) and seen the second had gone 10 yards and stopped with the opposite quartering shot so I dropped her too with a heart shot. Both were DRT though the second flinched a couple times. I guess mother nature is generous after all. [emoji7]

I got a stihl farm boss and a poulan pro, I got the poulan first and I have used the heck out of it. I had to replace the chain tension sprocket but I must say it lasted quite a long time before I wore it out and the old one was plastic vs the new steel one. The stihl, well its a stihl no issues there.

Nice, I seen one the first day of rifle but let it pass because I didn't want to spook any deer. Turns out I should of taken the shot since I didn't see a thing after that except my ever present tree rats and a wood chuck which has taken up residence on my property.

For most people, it will make no difference since they may never get into a situation where they need to draw their guns. But if you carry that way you need to get some snap caps and practice drawing and racking in a smooth motion. It can be done quite fast but it needs to be muscle memory.

I have an older, 10+ yr, API Grand Slam and though its on the heavier side I like it. Its rock solid and with how the seat is adjusted I just can't fall out of it.

In this particular case I agree, the parents are not model citizens and probably did little to bring him up right. But there are some that are bad all on their own, no matter how good their homelife.

I have had one ask, I just responded "wouldn't do any good otherwise". He just nodded in agreement and let me go about my business. I think most expect them to be locked and cocked.

Bound to happen, I would be hard pressed to stay in that crowd too seeing what they did in ferguson.

Go with the 10/22, but chances are once your wife gets her hands on it you'll end up looking for another or with the Marlin.

I work at Ft Campbell so I dont carry there obviously, but do carry whenever I can. Even when I am hunting I carry since I can defend myself easier with my HG, than with my bolt action. I think the option of "when I can" would suit me better.

I don't know, still doesn't say you must keep one on your person. The log replaced temp tags, which if I am not mistaken didn't have to be kept on your person once used. Since I hunt my own land, and have a lifetime license, I only had to take it in to a check station or use the internet without a temp tag. Now with the app, you should not need the log or temp tags. I wonder if the twra guy was my "buddy" who ticketed me for no blaze orange even though on my land none is needed.

You catch a name of the twra agent?

There should of been a recourse, the gun should of been sent back to Glock and the ammo mfg should of been notified.  One or the other would of made it right. I have only had one squib, but that was with a reload.  Used a cleaning rod to clear it, and continued with the rest.  Never had an issue since.  

I have a collection of calls, bleat, grunt etc. Also have a bunch of scents of one kind or another that I have had in my hunting bags for a bit (should clean out) but here is the only thing that I can verify; fawn bleat, brings them does in many times. Grunts, hit and miss, many a stomping and grunting deer just out of sight while some just rush in. As for scents, honestly cover scents are the only thing that I have any real confidence in. I wash my cloths in scent free soap, and use scent free deodorant but it only goes so far. Racoon scent on the boots help with the trail in and while in a tree stand.

I just got a hybrid holster from a local guy I seen advertise on Campbell Yardsales, BHO Holsters.  I went to their workshop and he let me try on the holster to see if it would work for me, then built mine as I waited.  I opted for the leather lined kydex which cost me $65 and I must say its comfortable and much better looking than the crossbreed with thicker leather and kydex.  I had it made for my xd-40 sub, but I may go back and get one for my G23 too.  Now for a good belt.

No, I would not give it a second thought during an SD situation.  The only thing I worry about during those events is placing all my shots on the target and not getting any new holes.

Well yea, no matter what the lawyers and the court wins.  But what about the defendant, it takes quite a bit of money to defend yourself against BS charges and many times you're just SOL win or loose.    I spent quite a bit to just have the Judge say "Guilty" in less than a minute, and it seems that everyone I tell the story to knows exactly who I am talking about (game warden, which probably puts a name in many of your heads too) so he has a rep for charging people with BS but the system allows it.

I got pulled over yesterday in Oak grove KY, had a headlight out so he pulled me over to let me know.  Didn't ask for anything, first thing he said is "First let me say you did nothing wrong" and commenced to let me know about the light and that I may consider changing my plate frame because he could not tell what kind of plate it was.  He even suggested that if I tap on the light it may come back on (it did).  He probably ran my plate just in case but had no reason to do anymore than that and it probably showed him that I had a CCW.

What's the price point?  I got a NiB BCG from PSA (2 actually) for about $120.which is not bad at all considering a standard one is about $100 from them.  But if you already have a non coated one, something like this would make sense if its not too expensive.

That is why the saying goes "I would rather be tried by 12 than carried by 6" is so relevant.  Sometimes even if you are justified, any police officer can arrest you and the DA can charge you and make you prove your innocence.  But even with all that, its better than loosing the fight.   You know, I think the law needs to be amended in some way to make frivolous lawsuits a bit more painful for those that seem to always be filing them.  A defendant can go broke defending against a BS lawsuit, the filer should be made to pay court costs and any fees associated with a successful defense of such a suit.  And that would include some of these suits brought on by criminals and their families against their victims when the criminal gets hurt during the criminal act. 

I don't know, seems that there is room for improvement to me. Deer are plentiful, maybe even overly so. I have never seen so many deer run over as I have here. I think seasons are good as they are right now, but the licensing could be more streamlined; one price for any weapon seems would be better. Most places I have hunted had a tiered licence, fishing, hunting, combo, and sportsmans with everything included. When I didn't have my lifetime, I skipped seasons since I was never sure I would be able to partake of any particular season. If I could of bought a sportsman, I would have right in the beginning since chances were that I could do one or the other.

Not sure about this place, but some ranges put those up to keep people from shooting over the berms. Dolo: Include me in to the conversation as well. I have some info but can always use more.

Sure keeps ambidextrous folks from fully being able to use their guns properly. 

Your in luck, they have it.  Green Mountain Coffee gave us a bunch of French Vanilla Iced Coffee k-cups, you're supposed to brew them over ice but its not my thing so I used them hot.
