Outdoor Recreation - December 2007

Heading to the Casa Marina in Key West for the New Year. They said they allow fishing off of the beach and pier at the resort. However, it is winter so I was wondering if there is anything to be caught off of the shore this time of year and what baits might work best? I'm just worried about bringing fishing gear for no reason and being better off just chartering a boat instead... Thanks!

I'm only 14, so I don't know much about hunting or weapons. What calliber gun does it take to kill a bear? would a handgun do? what about a spear or a paintball gun or would that just piss it off even more?

Okay, so I'm finally 21 and going to get my CCW permit soon. I live in sweltering Texas, where it is hot and humid practically year-round. Now, my body type is pretty lanky (6' 145 lbs).

What type of pistol do you think would be the easiest to conceal given my frame? I currently own a Smith & Wesson 3953, but am considering trading it in for something smaller and lighter (possible a Springfield XD Subcompact in 9mm).

Is an old mk3 lee-enfield rifle worth going through the hassle of putting a scope on? It has a sporterized stock, but all the original hardware is there and the barrel is still the correct length and everything. I would mainly be using it for deer hunting, maybe getting into moose in a few years, but I probably would never get into anything over 150 yards. Also, is it true that they were just painted with black paint instead of blued or something like that?

Top break W/folding trigger.Serial number351. I've never seen anything quite like it. It has two symbols on it, a stylized lion with a line under it below which are the letters P.V. and a star over a capital E. Thanks.

I plan on putting this scope on a savage 308 for hunting, target shooting, and plinking

I just can't bring my self to pony up the $1200$ for a nice leupold snif snif

Basically will this scope take a beating and suit me well for shots from 75-800 yards

I am also considering

Is it safe to have like the first 6 rounds of a magazine in Hollowpoint , and then have the rest FMJ's??

I think if you had to use the gun and the hollowpoints did not work I would want the last few rounds to pack a punch of FMJ.

Just curious why other categories aren't plagued by this ego driven phenomena. Most of the hunters I associate myself with are more than willing to help others without having to try and impress them with claims of experience and years afield. If you are knowledgeable it will come through in the way you answer. Am I the only one that feels this way?

I currently am working on a new mixture of 9lbs of pure lead to 1lb of wheel weights, anyone have any idea what this will be for a BHN? I want to load a 240 grain round nose for my 44 magnum for small game loading and want some expansion on the bullet without leading my barrel.

This might be a dumb question but is lead ammo for 38 special revolvers dangerous to handle? You can't get lead poisoning from it right?

I have been interested in the P7 pistol from H&K for years. All sources I have read say that H&K stopped production decades ago though. Is anyone else making them? Does there patent still prevent other from manufacturing it? How much is a decent one used? How cheap can you find them? How much is too much to pay? Just general information on modern production runs and prices is what I am after. Thanks.

Why do you call it hunting when you shoot the animal when it is standing over the food that you are feeding it? I see no sport in killing something that is comming for a free meal. To me it is the same as shooting a caged animal. Hunting is about skill, not the best feed. Am I wrong?

I can understand setting out feed spots all over the land to lure in the critters into that area so you have a better chance of getting one, setting up scents and useing calls to lure them in and then sitting in the blinds or tree and then waiting on one to come walking in. All these methods take skills to nab the animal because you need to know the area, how to use the scents and calls.

I know a few hunters that sit over the feed and then shoot and all they will tell me is they know they will get something that way. I am not here to gripe I would just like to know why you feel it is still considered hunting and why you use this method.

I keep twisting the knobs in different directions but nothing is happening to the reticle. I need advice on how to sight or zero the scope properly. I am very confused on how to adjust the reticle.
