Outdoor Recreation - November 2007

my springer spaniel just is gonna turn 3 years in dec. the reason i never trained him to hunt when he was younger is that my dad had back surgery and i had nobody to help me. i couldnt do it myself because i needed someone to drive and i was only 14. now that my dad can actually walk better, we want to go pheasent hunting which is the reason we got the pup in the first place. my dads friend was gonna help train him because he had 4 blue tick hounds for coon hunting but he passed away so we have had to good of luck in training him. the dog has calmed down alot but im wondering if its too late. if had him in the woods on a leash and he pulls me all over the place and spooked up two hens and i know he's not gunshy because i had him on the leash while i was shooting trap so all im worried about is if its too late to train him basic hunting commands. sorry the question was soo long.


thanks

To make more money?

Some really expensive stuff, like hydro shocks, work great, but they are about $1 per shot!

I've been shooting a bunch of ammo my friend's grandfather gave me, but it keeps causing strange errors like poor feeds and stovepipe jams.

What is the best ammo, for the money, for a generation 1 Glock model 21 in .45 ACP.

Thanks!

I have looked online at both Ron Paul's site and Fred Thompson's site and both are for the 2nd Amendment and protecting our rights. It seems though Ron Paul is a little more on fire for the whole thing. I just want to know whom everyone (if you do not mind sharing) is voting for between these two individuals and who the NRA is promoting.

Please, if you are not for the 2nd Amendment or hunting your response is not needed. As the same if you are not voting for either of the mentioned candidates.

I have a Colt .38 army special with dates on the gun from 1884-1905. Can anyone tell me anything about it or how much it may be worth?

I have a 15 yr old son with down syndrome who LOVES the outdoors, especially hunting. We have taken him squirrel hunting for the past 2-3 yrs and he is a good shot with the 22. He will be deer hunting this coming season (in MI) and his father and I can't agree on a gun for him. He wants to get him a 223 but I've read several articles and stories about how a 223 isn't appropriate for deer hunting. My son is a good shot, but not a great shot. I don't want to take him out in to the woods to injur deer, I'd rather him get one good humane shot kills like I've been teaching him from the get go. Is there a more appropriate gun that won't be too heavy and won't blow his shoulder off when he shoots it? Thanks for all your help!!!

I just posted this same question and I have no clue why it was removed........ Shouldn't hunting animal for game (not food) be illegal?

I have to go get some ammunition for deer season coming up in a couple weeks. I hunt with Winchester ammunition and I was wondering if anyone has used and likes the Super X 30-06 150 grain Power-Point? Has this ammo performed well for you? I am using the 168 grain Ballistic Silvertips now. Thanks.

Hi, I just got an old used Remington model 10 pump shotgun and i've gotten into some problems. First off, it won't fire nor will it eject the shell. I don't hear a firing pin or clicking when the trigger is being pulled either. Does anyone have any breakdown schematics or any advice for me. Not looking to take it to a gun smith just yet as that will cost a few $$$.

Thanks in advance!

Which one should I purchase? Price is not a problem, and I don't plan on shooting anybody too soon, (so size of the bullet isn't a huge issue). Is the P22 accurate? Any advice would be nice.

A couple days ago, I bought a Stevens model 311 series h 12 ga. double barrel shotgun. I bought it from my neigbor. We both live in Washington state. The guy my neigbor got it from lived in Portland, Oregon. From what I've heard, it's illegal to trnsport firearms across state lines, but my neigbor did it, not me. So, does anyone have the right to take the shotgun away from me? I also heard that this rule only applies to "handguns", and not shotguns or rifles.

is the four inch model 500 revolver really that much louder and its muzzle blast really all that brighter than the 8 inch model, the 8 inch seems outrageously long and i heard the 4 inch was weaker. If it is any of these how much weaker, louder and brighter is it

I have aquired a semi, compact handgun that was brought back from germany after WWII, I am not sure of cal. but it looks smaller than a 9mm and bigger than a .22. The only markings on this gun is, S# 74377, Geco and has a circle with a P inside with a small crown topping the circle. It is Blue Steel with a brown Grip Any ideas on what cal? or information on this gun and or history? The closest i could find was a geco 9mm that looks a little like it but not compact that was used by german police post WWII.

Pros and cons please. I heard about hunting is necesary for population n stuff and that it is imoral and that animal rights groups are double faced and don't care about population growth and don't blah blah blah blah. I don't know too much except my thought on it was that if dog fighting can get you in jail, then killing ducks and dear should be looked into somehow. Please educate me.
