Handsome Rob

Shutupshutupshutupshutup! Sent outta my ass by flying monkeys.

As of now, I'm thinking maybe mid March, April maybe? Sent outta my ass by flying monkeys.

In the words of everyone on Archer...........sploosh.

The scope definitely stays. I'll look out for the Weavers. The current mount is a Marbles see-thru. It's actually a fantastic, solid mount, just a wee bit tall for me.

It really does! Give it a flick & it drops right open. I may have to replace that scope mount though. As nice add it is, it just has the scope about an inch too high for me to get a good, solid cheek-weld

Took it out for it's inaugural trip this morning. I could only get 50ish yds & it was blowing a gale, but so far, I'm really liking what I see. I LOVE the feel of the action, compared to all my other levers. Silky, glassy smooth, right up to that final 'click' where it locks up like a vault door.

After a lot of looking, I've finally got my hands on a 'Dream Rifle' I've wanted one for ages, but never been in a position to be able to buy or trade into a good condition Savage '99. I've seen & handled many, but they were never as good as I was led to believe, or crazy expensive. Every time Gregg posted a photo of his, I wept a little with envy. I now own my very own! It's a 1946 model 99EG in .300Savage & I couldn't be happier!

Manchester. I'm open to other suggestions, but Terry's isthe only range I know that would accommodate a good number of us on one line. I've never been to many others so please throw out some ideas!

Just spitballin' an idea..... Would anyone be up for a traditional-type meetup? I'm thinking nothing but sidelock muzzleloaders, single action revolvers & leverguns only. No black guns, no AKs, no Glocks. I'm thinking if there's enough interest, say, 20 people, we could monopolise Terry Walden's range for a day. Grill up some steaks, drink a few non-alcoholic sody pops & generally have a big old time, playing cowboy. What say y'all?

The ONLY charity I have anything to do with is St. Judes.

Why do blue cheese & yogurt have a 'use by' date? Who decided to put pineapple on a pizza? Why do I park on a driveway & drive on a parkway? Why do I have to be 'This' tall to ride at Disneyland, but I can be any width to get into a Popeye's?

Hmmmm..... Were it I, and a frugal, greedy bastard I be, I'd hunt around & buy 3 guns. A 16" Rossi in .357/.38 A 20" Rossi in .44 mag And a Marlin 336 in .35 or .30-30 With a little judicious hunting you can get that combo of coolness for sound a grand. I've got or had all 3 (+ several others I can think would fit the bill) all between $300 & $350

Ah, they'll bury him for a week, then dig him up & he'll be right back to work ;)

Go Dave! Them's some pretty deer. Merry Christmas! :)

[quote name="Caster" post="1081204" timestamp="1387467552"]I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't even know how big this has gotten. When you wretch at the thought of social media and spend much of your time roaming the forest in search of juicy morsels worth the price of bullet and the butter to sauté it in, you don't leave yourself much time to take the opinions of the world. Phil Robertson is the embodiment of being in the world but not OF the world.[/quote] I reckon he knows EXACTLY how big this has become. You don't become a multi-millionaire business owner by NOT being aware of all social media. The 'character' he plays on the show is exactly that: A character. Sent outta my ass by flying monkeys.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.......So you're telling me that right wing, Christian ministers are AGAINST the gays??? Well, I don't know about y'all, but I for one am floored by this! :O

Now where does a body go about finding a facemask like that? :D Beautiful buck man!

That's AWESOME!!

If the cops could figure out a way of shooting these little bastards from a handgun, think how many tazer batteries could be saved. I got my first taste this summer in central Florida. Made me dance like a 3 year old at a hillbilly wedding.

What Dave & Chris said! :)

It's called a 'charging' handle, because these days, every time you use it it costs fifty bucks.

I thought Mann's closed up after the big tornado? I know a couple of guys from Flat Rock that hunted there all the time & they told me he'd lost all his fences & stock.

If you're wanting a red headlamp because of 'scaring the deer' seriously, don't worry. White, blue, green or red. I've walked upto withing 5yds of a deer &Y hog with a bright white flashlight & neither batted an eyelid. I honestly believe that the deer really don't care as long as you're down wind. I've tried all kinds of lights & in ever single instance, if there's a red option, it sucked. I have Petzls, Streamlights, & Fenix lights. Any time you switch to red or put on a red filter, your vision is reduced to no more than 10'. The human eye just can't focus on the light very well & in the situations that it is used (in the woods) most of the light spectrum is beyond our capabilities.  I'd rather either use a white light, or wait until it's light enough to see without a flashlight at all.

Do any of you guys have a beaver hoop lying around? I can buy online, but everywhere I've looked wants to sell me a half dozen. I only need one! I'm happy to buy one if anyone had a spare.

Last time I hunted was in a stiff (15-20mph) NNW wind. I texted a buddy that I was going to quit as I figured that the wind would lock down the deer. As my phone buzzed a reply, Icouldn't answer because of this......
