    Black Friday: What did you get?

    I picked up a nice gun safe for a great deal, and was back home by 6:40 am. I've heard numerous horror stories about Black Friday, but my experience was pretty much painless...

    Buy used, sell used, how much is lost?

    That actually might not be a bad deal. I've seen used guns at Gander Mountain priced higher than the same guns brand new elsewhere on more than one occasion.

    How long with your primary gun?

    Every deer I have shot so far has been with a different gun. It started out as a coincidence, and turned into a fun "game" of sorts, so I plan to keep it going for a while. This year I hope to take one with my muzzleloader for the first time. As far as a "primary" gun, I'd have to go with...

    Three legged Mallard

    I once saw a store-bought turkey with four attached legs. Two "normal" ones, and two miniature ones. :barf: True story.

    Island bow hunting

    Get a cabin cruiser and you won't need to worry about camping, or a boat that's too small. :D

    What are you taking deer hunting this year?

    I'll be hunting a shotgun zone this year, so I'm taking my muzzleloader (CVA Optima V2) and a Browning A5 as a backup.

    Who should be denied the right to own guns?

    So we just start rounding up mentally ill people and locking them in cages? Whether it's right or wrong, do you have any idea how much money that would cost? Do you want to pay for it?

    Women shooting while pregnant?

    ^^"The second issue that is brought up is the sound of gunfire. If I cover my ears with my hands I can muffle the sound of gunfire pretty darn effectively. I would presume that a fetus developing inside of a woman would probably be pretty well insulated from the sound of gunfire, even if...

    Sling setup

    I personally wouldn't use a sling at all in the scenario you describe. Whenever I stumble across deer while walking through brush/woods, the window of opportunity is usually quite small, especially with a range of 50 yards or less (for me). If I kick up a deer I want to be ready.

    Wolf killed by pellet gun

    That's too bad. I was just reading about the Isle Royal wolves a couple weeks ago and wondering what would become of that particular one.

    ground blind or climbing stand?

    It depends. Climbing stands are great, but finding an ideal tree in an ideal spot is not always possible.

    Does anyone else consider themselves strictly a meat hunter?

    When it comes to deer I'm mostly interested in the meat. I love it, and only have a short window of time to get it. I can definitely understand trophy hunting though. I spend many hours and a lot of money to catch muskies, just to snap a picture and let them go. I do fish for many other...

    Is scent mitigation an exercise in futility?

    I wash my clothes in scent-free laundry detergent, shower with the green soap, use the special deodorant, and the spray. When I chewed snuff I'd switch to apple flavored stuff when hunting. I can't say how much difference all that makes, but I can say it doesn't exactly break the bank. A $2 bar...

    Fellow deer hunters what gun are you using for deer season

    I have always used a Winchester model 88 in .308, but we just sold our property that is legal for rifle hunting. The only land I have to hunt on this year is shotgun only, so I'll be rocking the A5 for now. I'm in the market for a slug gun though.

    My version of the ultimate Tower Blind.

    It looks great. I've always wanted to build one similar. Happy hunting!

    Cold feet sitting on stand thermacell insoles?

    I have literally spent years of my life standing on metal planks in MN winters while working, and my feet were always cold (go figure). I tried several pairs of very expensive boots and my feet were still cold. One day I went into the house I was working on to warm up (below zero that day), and...

    H&R Ultra Slug Hunter vs Ultra Light Slug Hunter

    Thanks for the replies. I think I'm going to go with the heavier deluxe model. http://www.cabelas.com/product/H-R-Ultra-Slug-Hunter-Deluxe-Shotguns/707270.uts It has a nice laminated stock, and the price is right. I handled one today, and it feels great. I actually like the weight of it. I'm...

    What's your favorite shotgun?

    Mine is a Belgian Browning A5 made in 1961 that was my grandfather's. I love that thing.
