Are we under a terrorist cyber attack? Lots of national sites running slow.

You need to upload your pics to a hosting site like photobucket and then link to that in your ad.

Still playing Evony. If you get in a good alliance it's like Risk only you can loose by doing nothing!

Yeah, seen the Herc video before. Interesting. They also launched U2s off a carrier. Launch was good, landing was a bouncy mess!

I'm having an engraving on my scope. "WARNING OBJECTS ARE SMALLER THAN THEY APPEAR" Could relate to many things in my life it seems!

Dang guys. I thought it was going to be horrible! I am walking down the logging trail to my stand when I hear blowing and crashing as at least 8 deer run out of the bottom that I'm getting ready to cross to get to the ladder. There is blowing going on the hill to my left and the hill across the low area to my right so I just get off the trail, pick a big tree to lean against and hope something stays till light. One of them walks around 20 yards in front of me stomping and blowing for 20 minutes and I can't see a thing! Daylight and nothing is in view. About 6:40 a spike goes wandering by after I grunt a few times. Then I hear the running coming down the hill opposite me and a doe hits the low spot and crosses in front of me from right to left. Sure enough, not 10 seconds behind her comes the big boy. At least a wide 8 so I wait for him to hit the first clear lane in the trees and give him a "yarp" to stop him. He does. As I raise the Socom to bear, the doe that I have forgotten about, who also stopped sees me bring the rifle up and blows. Just as I squeeze I see him turn and I miss. (confirmed by a check since I had to go down there as you will note later in the long hunting story). Now I am ticked. I'm stuck sitting on the ground when 100 yards away is a nice ladder stand but everything I have seen so far would be a long shot from it so I stay. The big boy of my season has gotten away from a stupid doe busting me and I can't find the shell casing for my somewhat unique rifle. Well I let things calm down and go to hitting the grunt again about 30 minutes later. I buck comes down the same hill on the same path as big boy did earlier. I have leaned forward to rest a hand on a tree and get a good steady base and dial up to 8x on the scope. He' s a 6 (more later) and has stopped to look around, probably smelling what came out of big boy when he left in a hurry earlier. He looks great in the scope, not moving, about 80 to 100 out so not a easy shot but I'm zeroed at that range. Set the cross hairs on his front left shoulder as he is quartering me just a bit and POW. He is DRT. Now, he is dear right there but there is down a nice forested grade that my 4 wheeler at the top of the hill can't get all the way down into. I go check on him and to see if I had any markings of a light hit on big boy only to discover that while he is actually a 9 pointer, he looked like a 6 because his rack spread is only 12 or 13 inches. Buck Fever boys....like I told my brother, he looked good through the scope and my brother says what you got on your rifle a Hubble? Okay, he will eat just fine, he just should have walked another year or two. I was sad that he was below what I had set as a personal limit but I got him with a good long shot. And that's all I'm gonna say about that. Pics when I skin him out tomorrow if anyone wants to laugh with me.

Every year Davidson Co posts some really good bucks. I have seen several off Briley Parkway between I-65 and the White Bridge Road connection south of Whites Creek exit. Very nice buck.

Shoot dat doe ! Theyz good etin!

The Colts are good products. My brother has a heavy barrel A2 and it shoots great groups but for what he paid for it vs what I have paid for RRA and YHM stuff, I can't see the extra coin. I'm as bad as anyone else, my first was Rock River and I have been hooked on them ever since as they also use the Yankee Hill Mfg parts. A complete RRA rifle with a quad rail on it for 900 bills is a very good price. Just make sure it ALL Rock River. The quad rail should have YHM on it somewhere as thats what they put on the rifles as their base product.

Get a complete factory warrantied rifle for your first so you have a reference point to look at for all those builds you'll do later on. Once bitten, it's a lifetime disease. I prefer Rock River Arms but the wait times are still long. You can find good deals on RRA rifles looking around the web but I would recommend a trip to some vendors here to get your first. Guns & Leather in Middle TN and Hero Gear in south east TN will allow you to see a wide selection of complete rifles, answer questions and provide you a source for your future needs.

That would be ole "Timex" catching the dirt bags. Saw one once on the Natchez Trace. You got to be a real idiot to risk so much for a shot at a deer!

Plus one on the Powerbelts. I use two pellets of Pyrodex and 245 grain hollow points. Steady pressure is all it takes to load after shooting.

Can we get a new rule for the trading post?
Rightwinger replied to TNRobocop's topic in Feedback and Support
Oh yeah, we do! I hardly ever look at anything by section. Just keep clicking New Posts and move on through. Maybe Robocop should just post "DO NOT CRAP IN MY THREAD" and a pic of Oscar. That will fix everything ! -

Rightwinger replied to TNRobocop's topic in Feedback and Support
I don't think there is anything wrong with the forum as is. I personally like that folks I have dealt with before check in and tell others if I'm a person to be trusted and the quality of the items I'm advertising are as stated. This is the internet. A little known secret is that people have lied and cheated folks on the internet. A little pre sale feed back from members probably helps a newer member feel a little better about sending a check through the mail in hopes that special item he or she just threw the money down on is the real deal and will arrive as stated. If you have to answer questions about it, they should be asked in the public forum so others who have the same question can see it. If you post an item of interest to the members at a marketable price, it will sell. Otherwise it will slowly move to the bottom of the pile. If it has to change, make two exchange sites. One for the Vendors only and one for us normal folks so we can barter like greeks in the open market and enjoy the transaction. "Your stealing from my children asking for that price! Stealing the food from my children I tell you" -
Cleaning rod advice needed......Best bang for buck?

Plus one on the Tipton single piece coated rods! -
Got a little spike buck Saturday evening and a nice doe this morning. Little brother got a semi-monster 11 pointer and our other hunting partner got a 6 point. Good weekend in Wayne Co.
