Smith & Wesson moving their HQ to Tennessee!
Wingshooter replied to Grayfox54's topic in General Chat
May be just a matter of time until creepy joe mandates them for us. -
I’m thinking about getting a G29 to carry OWB around my farm and such. I have a G20 already. I really like it and like 10mm, but the size makes it cumbersome when I drive the tractor or other vehicles. It just generally gets in my way, lol. Sometimes I’ll carry a Jframe or G43 but find myself wanting the 10mm. I have not compared the 29 to the 20 in person. Is there a noticeable difference in the carry size scaling down to a 29? Is it concealable under a t shirt if I go into town? Who has one and how do you like it?

Good Light for Coyote's, Livestock protection
Wingshooter replied to SupraMario's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
A livestock guardian is a good idea. I don’t have a burro, but I do hear they work. We did have a couple llamas once that would chase a yote, lol. I have some horses now in a different pasture from the cows, and one of those mares absolutely loses her mind if a dog or coyote comes around. She’ll chase it with with a passion (fortunately she doesn’t do that under saddle though ) If I was trying to protect chickens, goats or sheep then I would look at a protective llama or two. If calves, then a burro. I have several newborn calves in the field now. I’d probably sleep better with a burro myself -
This is truth. I struggle with the moderation as well. Stuff just tastes so good!

Good Light for Coyote's, Livestock protection
Wingshooter replied to SupraMario's topic in Firearms Gear and Accessories
ATN Thor4 thermal scope I’ve also seen an increase in coyotes this year. Some just cruising through the herd at night catching mice. The ATN is also excellent for locating livestock day or night, especially during calving season. They think they’re hidden in the grass, but the Thor “sees“ all, lol. Farm expense as far as I’m concerned -
1873 clone (Uberti) in .45LC. Octagonal barrel and color case hardened receiver. You won’t regret it.

Ha! That’s great
-
Were these designed with Microsoft Paint or Word? lol. They all look like someone had 5 minutes to come up with 4 designs. I agree that the #4 - tristar watermark would be nice if the watermark was colored red and blue. I would vote that one if it wasn’t so monochromatic. If I have to pick one... I guess #3 - tristar modern. It’s basically the same layout we have now but with a different background picture. Plus it’s red, white and blue. Although I think its too dark with the blue background.

Anybody use a traditional muzzleloader to deer hunt with?
Wingshooter replied to Quavodus's topic in Hunting and Fishing
I love the Hawken. I have been planning to get a Hawken .50 kit -
Most of the time G43 in IWB kydex holster. Ameriglo Spartan Operator nightsights. It just disappears with the flush mag and feels like a part of me. I always have extra mag as well. I am very pleased with the way the G43 carries. In the woods it’s a G20 with the same Ameriglo Spartan Operator nightsights as my G43. I like having the 10mm in the woods, and I carry OWB in a Safariland ALS full retention holster. Works well for me. I go old school when I’m on the horse checking my farm fences. Then its a Cimmaron SAA clone 45LC in western leather holster. Uberti 1873 clone 45LC in the scabbord of course Those are my 3 main scenarios for carry. I pretty much always have one of those 3 on me when I’m not at work.

Wingshooter replied to Quavodus's topic in Hunting and Fishing
I do. I’ve probably killed more deer with my traditional muzzleloader than any other individual firearm I own (bow not included). That’s probably because of the way the season falls, and I tend to get a lot more picky once the modern gun season opens. I love hunting with it though. It’s a Traditions Buckskinner. I also have an inline muzzleloader, but I only grab it during the season if the weather is wet. It’s crazy how accurate you can get an open sight percussion black powder rifle. I DO NOT enjoy cleaning it though -
How long before they come out with the antidote to fix what the shot did
-
Yep, that looks like the creature! At least they’re killing other bad bugs. I killed one the other day, and it was a substantial kill. The propane torch was close by, and I thought about it!
-
I have seen a new kind of super scary ant around my house. Very large, bright red and black stripes. Killed one the other day in the garage. Looks like it could do some damage if it bites
-
I’ve had the little blisters too. I always figured ants but never caught them in the act
-
I love my 6.5 grendel for distance. Load up a harder bullet with less expansion, and it won’t tear up pelts either. Great round imo. Works well with a can too

What's a good deer attractant for trail cams?
Wingshooter replied to Quavodus's topic in Hunting and Fishing
The mineral blocks are good, and I’ve used the liquid Deer Cane also with good results. Normally I just use the corn and get lots of pics with deer and raccoons dining together. Sometimes I’ll get a pic of a deer trying to bust one of the little bandits lol. I don’t mind them as long as they stay out of my barn -
Then there is the issue of where does it end. I’ll tell you it will never end. There will be mandated booster after booster. Just imagine the power at their fingertips if they can get Americans “hooked” on a mandatory recurrent shot. They can pick and choose the survivors if they want. No need to take our guns if they are injecting us at their command. That sounds tinfoil hat to me too, but would you have imagined 18 months ago that the president could unilaterally get you fired for refusing to be injected with a new medicine? Crazy times. Again, I’m not against the vaccines just the method
-
Had the trifecta a couple years ago.... tick balls, chigger ankles and poison ivy arms all at once. About as miserable as i could be. Then i made the mistake of over using topical ointments that irritated my skin. Had to go to the doctor and cry uncle on that one I was in the weeds and woods behind my house yesterday checking a fence. I wore chest waders. I ain’t playing no more lol
-
Now just image that the fed government has mandated that you use that toxic brake cleaner every day for the rest of your life or you will lose your job. That’s how this mandate feels to a lot of Americans
-
Very true. The question is will they reveal the correct data to the public or the data that achieves an agenda
-
And some people have liver disease because they drink too much. Some people have lung cancer because they smoke. Some people have aids because of lifestyle choices. Some people have mouth cancer because they dip. Some people like me are overweight from eating too much sugar. Are we to expect the fed government to outlaw short sleeve shirts in summer because of melanoma? What’s your point? You do you and I’ll do me. That’s all that the unvaxed are seeking. I have had horses all my life. I would be leary of ingesting ivermectin paste for horses from co-op. One would have to be very careful with the dosage. My wife on the other hand has a prescription from a medical doctor that CVS refuses to fill because they don’t deem it appropriate for covid. So now we have drug store pharmacists over ruling our doctors? This insanity is ending our country as we know it.
-
Walgreens and CVS won’t fill it. My wife got a prescription from an MD. CVS questioned her about why it was prescribed and told her it didn’t fit the protocol for Covid. They refused to fill a doctor’s prescription.
