So you're in the parking lot or at a red light and suddenly some lowlife is pointing a gun at you. Ask yourself: Am I willing to bet my life (everything that I own, everything I have yet to do, my family, my kids growing up without me, everything) that this individual is only threatening me...

I am embarassed to vote .380... would have gone with .40 but this summer is hot and the keltec P3AT is just so small and light...

Wow "Other" vote here. I expected to have to explain that CZs are great guns (reliable and accurate) and inexpensive, so clearly the best value. Imagine my surprise when all you other fine THR folk have already praised them repeatedly! Second place would go to Ruger. Reliable as...

OK, I did a double-take that an AK47 is enough gun for a hog, but I think I got it now. An AK or 30-30 is enough IF packed with a deep penetrating projectile. An 06 shooting .30 bullets much faster is plenty enough gun, IF loaded with deep penetrating projectiles, for which 150gr deer loads...

Thanks, Smokey!

.30-'06 150 grain is too small? So you need a 180 grain to take a hog?

My car kit is based on breaking down at midnight in the middle of nowhere and having to walk back to civilization. You guys have hit most of the important ones. +1 on the poncho, which can keep you warm as well as dry and also make a tent and all that (likewise trash bags). Good idea on the...

My bedside pistol has a full mag but nothing chambered. The dog will give enough warning of an intruder for me to rack it and I have also practiced doing it one handed (much easier for a 9mm or while wearing jeans). Someone said that a guy heard the phone ring in the middle of the night...

Wow, found a ton of recipes just by using Google. Recipes for just about everything.

German sausage? Anyone have recipes for bratwurst or anything like that? Can you make them with venison? Breakfast and summer sausage seem to be the only choices at some places.

Great. Thank you, Atticus!

Will a smell of the suburbs get into hunting clothes? I live in a townhouse with a back yard the size of a playing card, tho the neighbors it have bigger yards. If I wash hunting clothes with scent free wash, can I hang them in the back yard to dry, or will they pick up the smells of cars or...

Noob question Are gut hooks needed? Looks like most of you don't use them.

Supply & demand Aside from availability, the price for 7.62 x 39 seems to be going way up. A box of 20 used to be $1.95 is now $2.95. The spam cans used to be $55 are now 72 or more. I should of bought a pallet load a year ago. :(

Mulliga, mark your mags and head back to the range. My CZ40 had a ton of FTF problems when I first got it, and I was pretty :fire: about it. Putting tape on one mag instantly revealed that all the failures were coming from that mag - the other (unmarked) one fed perfectly. I shipped the bad...
