Carry ammo, I picked up some Hornday Critical defence for Mrs. G and my self in .38 and .357 but that was just because that was all the shop had. I am still working though the possiabilites and some more range time is needed to help with the my thought process. We had some time to go out to the...

I will say that I live in a nationally recognized area of meth cooking activity which also spurs a person to feel the need to carry. But, I believe it is just as comical to think that I would open fire on the first meth cooker I encounter on our property as it is to think I would use a firearm...

Bailey- I have heard things are rough in your area, funny.... I dont think the profarmer tour goes that far south, to far from CHICAGO and the CBOT.... I am in NE IOWA... I told a guy the other day "Most years you drive by your neighbors corn and say I hope mine is better than his.... THis...

Texas- Agreed with much of what you said, see my post from later yesterday. I am not claiming to be a cattle expert but have been working some cows for a few years.... In my world I would have a better chance of meeting my end from a 4 legged crazed critter I am working by myself that gets me...

Just so everyone knows, I am not in the bull killing business on a regular basis, at low priced bulls going for $2500 and expensive ones going for ten times that it is not good business. I usually prefer to step aside and smack them in the nose with a sorting stick when they get a bit...

I wonder if run away tractors trump Zombies? A more reasonable scenario may be your in a corn bin and pant leg gets stuck in the sweep auger, a few rounds with a .357 may stop that couple horsepower electric motor, all within 30 ft usually. And yes I agree calm cattle are better, all our...

Elmer Keith made a comment once about carrying on the farm/ranch and being able to stop a bull on top of you or have a chance at shutting down and engine with a well placed shot to the mass of metal. He referenced the .357 due to its abililty have a chance at these functions as well as the...

I think it just take some folks longer to get used to the setting, I am all for her being alert. There is a lot to process in a new place, fridge kicking on, fridge going to defrost cycle, was that the sump pump or the garage door? neighborhood kid is harmless but his car stereo has that low...

Thanks for the suggestions. Very practical and budget friendly. I have seen info on the window film on this website before but my searches are not bearing fruit... any keyword suggestions or brand names? The posts gave install and brand suggestions I think. Thanks

I travel often for work. We recently moved. My wife had good awareness in the old house ( the night time sounds expected, neighborhood action etc.) We have been at the new place a year or so and she still has not adapted to the new conditions to a point she feels confident in her awareness...

Merry Christmas All I wanted to get advice on starting youth in shooting including competative. My son is 6 now and really enjoys time with me and the BB Gun or .22lr. While he is not the most athletic kid in his crew ( a bit of a late bloomer) his education level goes beyond his age...

A few months back a great list was posted about what to carry in your auto for gear. I tried a search with no luck. Anybody have the list or a link to it? It was very complete. Thanks

Dukes I hope to have what ever Bo and Luke Duke had, they seldom had a problem with comms. "Got your ears on Uncle Jesse?!"
