I'm looking for a place to go camping where alcohol is allowed. I'm from the Philly area and I don't really want to go more than 2 and a half hours away. Does anyone know of any campsites where alcohol is allowed near here?

Where is the air chamber exhaust port? It says to apply oil there every 1,000 shots but there's no diagram to show where it is.

WSM seems to get a lot of crap and I was wondering why. If I open up my 2008 shooting times buyers guide I see that every major rilfe brand has some WSM avalible in their new guns. If the big companys support WSM why is everyone saying their going to disappear soon?

If you were to look for a hand gun like a desert eagle or something not like a rifle just a hand gun and you wanted it to be big and bulky and say I'm over compensating but at the same time looks nice. What gun would you recommend? Also what about one that can hold a lot of bullets?

I raise a small backyard flock of free range chickens. I pen them up at night, and let them roam through my several acres during the day. In return they provide me with the most wonderful eggs you've ever tasted. The problem is, my neighbors dog occasionally visits and either reduces my flock size, or terrorizes my hens if they haven't been let out for the day yet. The first time it happened, my neighbor was apologetic and compensated me for the dead birds. But the dog has been back several times. I don't want to be a jerk neighbor, but I don't want to lose my few remaining birds, either. I don't really feel that it is the dog's fault, either. Its in his nature. But I want to make it known to the dog that he is NOT welcome in my yard. I know that I legally can shoot him for molesting my 'liestock' but this seems way harsh and I wouldn't go that route. Could I unload the shot from a shotshell and shoot him with the wad to scare the bejesus from him?

I just built
a Cabela's SLi 8'6" 5wt (rod blank is 1.39 oz)using recoil single foot guides and attached a new Lamson-Waterworks ULA p.2 reel (2.9 oz). This is by far the lightest combo I've ever used - The rod casts beautifully, as if there is no effort,
shadow casting, if you will. When I hooked my first trout (a 12" brown) it felt like it was attached by a silken thread. I really like
the feel of it and I had no arm fatigue at the end of the day.
Anyone else try an ultra-lite ? Do you like them ?

I fish the inlests sometimes, and the piers, and from boats. I have never seen anyone fishing form the surf. The poblem with the inlets is the bottoms are usaully rocky and I lose a lot of tackle. Do you know why nobody seems to fish the surf? I am going to give it a try...maybe tonight.

I have been using that on my .22 bolt rifle as well as my 1911 for the reason of preserving the edge of my extractor. I want people's opinions on this. I do tend to be somewhat "anal retentive" about wear and tear on my guns along with rust and dirt.

Right now when I go hunting/backpacking I usually carry a Benelli Nova H20 as my primary bear gun but I am also looking for a sidearm to accompany it that can also stop an alaskan grizzly in very close proximity with very few rounds. I have been looking at the S&W super mag .460s and .500s with the 4-5" barrels as well as the taurus .500S&W and .454 Casull which is as small as a bullet as I would like to go. If you guys have any comments or suggestions for other revolvers that would be awesome.

I love all guns,but I really feel more at home with pistols.I'll be 18 in april,so I figure if I got a rifle going to the range wouldn't be much trouble.Would I need someone who is 21 with me everytime I shot the pistol at the range?am I even allowed to transport the pistol without someone who is 21 and has a gun license?
