I hate ticks! Here's an interesting discussion on homemade tick repellant: http://oldgobbler.com/Forum/index.php/topic,3417.0.html

Understood. In my case, the item was in stock and I called as soon as they opened. At the time I canceled nothing had been shipped, so to be charged a "restocking" fee is BS.

Midwest Hunter's Outlet scam Ordered some archery related products from them via their website on Friday. Called Monday morning to advise them to ship Fed Ex, as I live in a rural area and have no USPS delivery to my home. (Their website says those are the two delivery methods they use). I...

I thought "Elk and Elk Hunting" by Wayne Van Zwoll was pretty good.

Check out Numrich Gun Parts. They have a bunch of 870 stocks in different styles, ranging from about $25-$100. The link shows one example: http://www.e-gunparts.com/DisplayAd.asp?chrProductSKU=931960&chrSuperSKU=&MC=

B&P appears to be another great source for the 16. https://www.bandpusa.com Do a search for 16 gauge on the left side of the page. These are high quality shells and the prices include delivery. For the quality of this ammo, delivered to your door, $6.38 a box seems like a deal. I...

Berger has a video on their website of the VLD bullets used for hunting. Pretty impressive results and worth a look.

I'd call Game and Fish and clarify the quail with an air rifle issue. I'd be surprised if you couldn't but you never know. Heck, even the Republic of California where I live allows quail hunting with an air rifle. BTW, where do you live because I want to move there :). What kind of air rifle...

Ballistic Products has some too. http://shop2.mailordercentral.com/bpicart/products.asp?dept=204

Don't forget the eye protection. My 14 year old recently got peppered and missed losing an eye by an inch. Needless to say, we're pretty anal about always wearing it now! Edit to add that I saw you will be on private land with friends. Doesn't change the scenario a bit. My kid was peppered...

I recently picked up an older 500 for $50 and almost immediately broke the plastic safety button that split in half. Replaced it with a metal one from Brownells and now it's good to go. I'd replace that right off if the newer ones still come with a plastic safety...

I think what you'll want to know from someone who has one is whether one of the traps with a .6 second cycle time can throw a double, meaning with two presses of the button, are there two clays in the air at the same time? The two second cycle time is too slow for that. If the faster traps...

Champion Easy Bird is another one to consider: http://www.sportsmansguide.com/cb/cb.asp?a=282518 I have a Do All Aerial Assault and one of the later versions, made in July of 2006. The first time I used it, it worked perfectly and didn't break a bird. Threw about 200 that day and really...

I recently purchased a Franchi 48 AL in 28 gauge and have been shooting it for a couple of weeks with different loads. One of the loads is the Fiocchi 3/4 oz. high velocity load. With this load, I am getting brass bulging on the face of the hull. It looks like the brass is flowing into the...

I bought one of these via Ebay from Wholesale Hunter and received it yesterday. I was told it was the most current model out prior to ordering. Came with complete instuctions on a DVD for assembly, which took about 20 minutes and the required tools. Took it out today and launched a hundred...
