    Not again.......! Feral Hog Control in East Texas

    I always pay for the lisence. Just a small price to pay to avoid possible hassle. Btw, coyotes are also listed for depredation.

    Not again.......! Feral Hog Control in East Texas

    From TPW website. A resident or non-resident hunting license is not required to hunt depredating feral hogs or coyotes on private property with landowner authorization. Yea I hear a lot about, the landowner should thank hunters for ridding their property of hogs. In fact they should pay...

    SAAMI video on ammunition and fire fighter safety

    I would imagine the tube would split then they would go off with minimal velocity. Not enough material around the tube to contain the pressure. The first might cause some shrapnel to fly. After that just like in the video.

    Forged in Fire.

    Making a "Living" making Cutlery. Like HSO said means a lot of different things. Have you noticed how many of those makers on the show say they are Full Time Makers? Very Few. And of those they more than likely have a wife that has a great job with benefits and is supporting the family. I...

    Forged in Fire.

    Forged in Fire is not too bad. IT is for entertainment and those who know can tell where the bad parts are. Iron and Fire however. Oh my. We have tried for decades to remove some of the mystique and such from the knifemaking/blacksmithing world. Iron and Fire is just re-introducing it...

    What guns have you sold/got rid of, and why?

    Lets see. When the old man passed I sold off all his old firearms of varying quality. It came to over 30. Why? I wanted nothing he had and did not want any reminders, long story. I bought what I wanted. Later sold a Ruger Super Redhawk to fund a S&W 329PD. Later sold Marlin 38SPL lever...

    Class III suppressor for HD?

    Yes you can choose sometimes. I have several self defense guns. I only have one suppressor currently. I do not store my sd guns with the suppressor attached for several reasons. So if you want to get technical I would not use the can in a sd situation. But would not hesitate if that was the...

    Help me buy my Wife a new gun please.

    If she really liked the AR15 there are many possibilities. 6.5Grendel and 6.8SPCII are just 2 of them. Both are great hunting rounds approaching 308 performance. Actually the 6.5G is better at long ranges than the 308. Either of those 2 have a lower recoil than either the 308 or 243. I...

    Interesting CBS News Poll

    Interesting; Was not aware that it was a federal law that someone under the age of 18 was prohibited from owning or operating handguns. Yep they really did their research as per the norm.

    Class III suppressor for HD?

    There are many reasons to own a suppressor. You can hunt with one as well and not have to use Hearing protection. Substandard ammo, not. Causes change in point of aim or causes inaccuracies? Which of the following 2 tgts was shot with a suppressor? This was shot with a 300blackout 120gn...
