Ouch!  I like them, but not that much.  If they cut the price in half I would consider getting a paratrooper model.

I have used bipods, monopods, bags, slings, braced against a tree and shooting sticks.  Anything to steady the rifle will work as long as you are comfortable enough to squeeze the trigger when you need to.  While stalking, I just use a cheap stick such as this one except mine is either a winchester or allen brand:  http://www.walmart.com/ip/Mossy-Oak-61-Adjustable-Shooting-Stick/15435849   Though its not as expensive as other brands I think its good for the price.  I use it as a walking/snake stick as well as a spiderweb stick, which is how I started using a stick in the first place.  I would always pickup a stick to knock the webs away while going through the woods, one day a doe showed itself and I used the stick to steady my rifle.  So when I seen these at walmart I figured heck, why not.

I look at it as OJT and survival of the fittest;  All the bad shots have become zombies.   I keep hearing people say they didn't like the last season.   I didn't think it was all that bad, I especially liked the flowers episode/scene.

I picked up a 500 count box at Cabelas' opening for $24. Can't recall the brand but they were solids not HP, but $24 is a decent price. The 500 hps were just a tad higher, but of course they may be out now. There is no way I will pay extortion prices, I would rather use my 5.56 or .410 for small game before doing that. I may pay an extra $5 or $10 to the guy that stands in line at midnight to get them from Walmart, for his trouble, but not the $65 they try and pass them off for at gunshows.

Yea, dont worry about our military guys; the VA is already preparing a special list...

I have a PSA lower, actually two one a pistol and one a rifle, and they both have no issues whatsoever. I am not one to replace triggers or even send one in to a gunsmith to work on one so a standard trigger works fine for me, but that is one thing that many will replace due to personal preference. If you are one to get new triggers, go with the cheapest lower to use the rest on the trigger.

Mine is a bit big, but it has worked out. It " looked" smaller in my head [emoji4] Right before I cut the windows, I have plexiglass that I slide in channels. I look down a powerline, can see quite a ways.

Yea, I seen the same priced containers and like the idea of them, but the lock is the weak point; Since I am not around they would have plenty of time to cut, grind or even shoot it off. Maybe one of those dug into the side of the hill to hide it from prying eyes, but that would just increase the price. I wish I had one of those, it would make a heck of a man cave!

I considered one of those for out on my hunting area but so far their too expensive for what I need one for.

Here is a 3K listed for $175 http://campbell.bookoo.com/s/coleman%20generator

That will greatly improve the situation, it will keep the shed level at least. I also recommend using this: http://www.thompsonswaterseal.com/waterproofing-products/waterproofing-stains/advanced-tinted-wood-protector within the first year or two. I tried other products including other Thomson's water seal products, and this so far has been the best performing. Its expensive, relative to others, but its well worth it, its been about 5 years and still looks fresh.

When out on my land, I sometimes carry my Berretta 92 in a Serpa leg holster. When the military went to the Serpa we practiced getting it out of the holster but never had the issue of an AD. It was more of the holster "locking" the weapon in place if you pull up on it before pressing the detent lever. Even under stress I never had an issue.

Mine has plywood and it still warps a bit.  The shed itself is in good condition but needs to be re-leveled.  I won't recommend the guys I got mine from, if they're even still in business,  they didnt put the door on the side where I wanted it. They sent a guy to move it and he did a real bad job of it.  Now I need to replace it again, but I doubt I can find the business now.

So I am the process of putting up a barbed wire fence on a run that doesn't have one yet.  All day with the post hole digger and bar hammering away at large rocks and staples and using the chainsaw etc, when I start back up the line 100 yards down I jumped about 6 deer.  Might have to carry my bow with me when I go back to finish up; thats the third time I jumped a herd like that in the past two weeks.

This site has a few listed, they are from DRMO so read the description well.  Many times the equipment is just been replaced with newer ones and they are in good condition while others have been deemed too expensive to repair.   http://www.govliquidation.com/auction/search?cmd=results&fromsearch=true&words=Generator%20Set 

Don't fret, better ones will come along my first was but a spike.  Congrats on a successful hunt.

The other good thing about a kindle fire or android tablet is you can get on here and other forums as well.  You can also get the NRA mags online, much better than print because of the interactive links to more info/stories.  Oh, and yes you get to zoom in too.

I went to their opening, they said it was a satellite cabelas so much smaller.  Did get a brick of .22 so trip was worthwhile. The thing that got me was that they didnt have any good sales for the opening, just regular seasonal flyer stuff.

A portable generator would be great to have in a TEOTWAWKI event.  Depending on what event took place, there should still be some gas left in storage, damaged vehicles, farm tanks etc.  If the event is something like a giant volcano, meteor/comet the sun may not be getting through for some time.   I personally would think being mobile is better, just in case a good home defense is unattainable. But there is no reason you can't have both!

+1, "We" elected him, twice, so its not a simple case of one person being the problem.  The painful fact is that the US has become quite literally a "kept" society wanting something for nothing.  So anyone that promises to give us more with out us having to work for it is ok in our book.

Look at getting a kindle or kindle app for your iPhone or droid, you can make the size of the print any size you want.   I like reading these books and even watch the movies, but some books also take creative license so I try and take them with a grain of salt too.  When I watch a movie "based on a true story/event" I have the habit of looking for the story it is based on to compare; most times the true story is more fascinating, but I still enjoy the movies. 

And I for one appreciate it, it at least brings up the subject so someone can shed some light on the truth. And as an aside, I believe this has only recently changed as I believe it used to be illegal for deer. But when I seen electronic calls sold at Grandpa's, a local sporting good store, I checked the regs.

According to the 2014 regs:"Electronic calls or live decoys while hunting wild turkey, foxes and waterfowl (except electronic calls are legal during the Conservation Season for Blue, Snow and Ross’ geese)." But like I stated, I have not needed to use it. All I did was a proof of concept, but it should work like any other call.

While I have been shot at before, nothing like that made me get mine. I was just living in some areas that had increasingly become... well lets just say less friendly. I always followed the law as far as being armed, and in most places I could either open carry or have a gun loaded or unloaded in the vehicle so didn't really need one. But when I returned from Japan I was stationed in Savannah GA and many things had changed, I decided it was time to have one so applied and have kept one ever since.

None needed, there are bad players everywhere and I am sure there are may instances of bad behavior on the contractor and military side. The problem is that an organization gets a bad name due to the actions of a few, such as the Secret Service recently, and it is hard to not think they are all the same. All incidents need to be dealt with on their own, unless the same people are involved.
