What do you think of the issue, personally i hate it when i see anglers drinking whilst fishing, some people may disagree with me on this one but it really irritates me. I mean great have a drink in a bar but by the lake or on the boat is taking a bit far for my liking, what are your opinions on this subject, should it me banned?

I'm going to paint it camouflage or bright orange, so the deer don't see me coming. I need a full size car that doesn't cost much, can take the hit, easy to repair and tenderizes the meat.
Its too difficult to hunt them with guns, but much easier with cars.

Thsi particular enfield was produced in 1960-I bought a kit-scoped it out-getting a 5 inch group at 100 yards.

If someone asks, "Whats a CHEAP fishing rod to buy?" Whats your responce?

In the early 90's I sold more Ugly Stiks to novice anglers than ANY other rod. In 3 years we got a handful of Uglys back broken, whereas, we had literally BOXES of Penn, Shimano, Browning, Quantum, Zebco, to send back to the manufac. In the 3 years I was a manager in the fishing/hunting Dept at Sports Authority I never ONCE had a customer complain that he got "cheated" when he purchased an Ugly. In fact, most people came back to purchase more tackle/items because we "set them up with a good combo".

Do I believe that Ugly Stiks are the best rod you can purchase? NO

Are they sensitive? NO (except for the "Lite" series)

Would I try to sell an Ugly Stik to a pro fisherman? NO

BUT, if someone asks for a cheap rod and they "might" go fishing 10 times a year what rod do YOU suggest they buy?

Remember-Something under $40-$50.

Zebco? Walmart/Kmart Special? Berkley Lightning Rod?

I was going to get a CZ rifle but I've located a great deal on a 983S and I like the way it looks a lot. So how is it? Any experience? Is it worth buying?

Just wondering if anyone on here has any experience with this brand. Im not really wanting to spend 90 bucks on a knife if its not any good. Im pretty sure that any knife collector or hunter knows that there is nothing worse than a bad knife. Thanks for any opinions.

The rifle appears to be undamaged. I had shot about two dozen rounds sighting in the rifle, when I accidentally grabbed a .270 round, which must be similar in length to a 7mm Mag round. The gun fired, and hot gas shot out the back (into my cheek) and smoke was around the chamber. I was able to pop the cartridge out with a cleaning rod without too much difficulty, and the bullet had been expelled. The casing was torn from the gas expanding, but the bolt on the rifle seems to be fine, and the rifle appears to be no worse for wear.

Should I have the rifle professionally examined before I re-fire? I was going to fire off a round from a distance with a string and see how that goes. I feel lucky that the barrel did not explode in my face! Like I said, the rifle seems to be ok, no cracks in the bolt or the barrel. Thanks.

Some Co-workers claimed they don't like Dove Or Quail that its nasty tasting.
I have been thinking of a way to fix it that they wouldn't know what it is, for a month or 2, and I am a really good cook.
I cleaned and removed all tendons, and fat. Chopped it up in 1/4 inch cubes and boiled it in chicken herb boulion solution till it was super tender. Then I made a rice mix of wild grain and pilaf, also cooked with chicken broth (had it before it's really good), then added the dove and quail to it!
tasted and it's terrific and hope to surprise everyone at work tomorrow as we are having a pot luck for a co-worker who is leaving.
Would you be mad if I did this to you?

I was thinking about buying this gun but I want to get some feedback by anyone who has one. It looks like a sweet gun. I also can't decide if I want the pistol grip or not.

I wouldn't trade my Ruger P-97 .45 ACP for the world, although I wouldn't be totally opposed to a 4-inch .357 magnum.

Now that Ive had firearms for several months I realize that I need a reloader. 45 and 223 rounds are expensive at the store, and I know from buying rounds at gun shows that I'm getting bent over and pounded every time I pay $8 for 20 .223's at Wal-Mart. I know nothing about reloading ammo, but it can't be that complicated, I would just like some thoughts on some good ones. (and cheap) Thanks.

I am looking to get a 7mm Magnum High Powered Rifle for Christmas. I would like to get into hunting, especially because Virginia has a lot to offer outdoor enthusiasts. My question, is what age do I have to be in order to buy a rifle, if I have a hunting permit does that age change? Could my father buy it and have it licensed under his name but legally let me use it under his direction? Thanks

I was wondering if someone could help me with this.

For just choosing a basic rifle that I might use for hunting and also target shooting at the range mostly, what is the major difference between the popular designs from the most common manufacturers.

Say I'm going to get one in .308.

You have Ruger M77's, Browning A-Bolt, or Remington 700. These are all popular bolt action sporting rifles available in many different calibres. All three are to my knowledge companies highly regarded for the quality of their products. Someone I know reccomended Sako rifles, but they are twice as expensive as these ones, and all three are American companies with a long history and popularity.

So ultimately, when it comes to choosing one, is it more or less a matter of personal preference? Is there something one of these three models posesses that sets it above the others? They're all similar in price.

Thank you.

So I got my muzzleloader (.50 CVA Buckhorn) to the fields for some sighting. I got it bore sighted today at ***** Sporting Goods. It is about 1-1.5" down at 70/75yrds. Not to bad, A few clicks on the scope and that's fixed.

Anyhow, I am using Pyrodex Pellets. They are quick, easy, and far more accurate then a measure / pour technique. First shot was at 150gr while the secon andthird were 100gr. All I can say is shooting that thing is like firing a freaking cannon. It was amazing.

So yeah, I got the first shot jitters out of the way. And I am almost fully sighted in for 75yrd shots. Which isn't all that bad. Although, it was bore sighted for 100yrds so I may foregore sighting it at 75yrds and just adjust shooting by lifting the gun a bit.

What are everyone else's experiences with blackpowder shooting?

Long story short, is that I have a box of

"Remington Premier Copper Solid 1 oz hollow point magnum sabot slugs"-says the box

they are 2 3/4 inch 12 gauage

I went to outdoor world today and asked if these were ok to run through a smoothbore barrel with an improved cylinder (IC) choke. He said I got that completely right and its ok.

I got home today and on the box it has this:

WARNING: This ammunition is designed for use in fully rifled barrels or rifled choke tubes only. Barrel damage or serious injury may occur if this ammunition is fired in fixed or screw in, modified or improved cylinder chokes.

Is it ok or not?
