    Snake gaiters for kids?

    My 10 year old daughter will be joining me on my annual Father's day prairie dog hunt this coming June. Apparently, my Google-bilities are not up to snuff, as I'm having difficulty finding something that will fit her. I really don't want chaps, as they can be hot as heck, and its usually hot...

    One of my grail guns is about to be mine

    I have very little need for this rifle. I have very little need for this caliber. And tomorrow at noon it will be mine! I just swung a trade deal for a Ruger No. 1 Tropical in 375 H&H Magnum! Its lightly used(18 rounds down the pipe). Thankfully, tomorrow is also payday, because the...

    Thoughts on the TriStar Viper G2?

    I thought I'd made my mind up on a new turkey gun - the Benelli SuperNova. However, after handling one it rattles! I handled a few other at the LGS, and the TriStar Viper G2 turkey just felt great. However...they don't seem very popular, they are extremely low priced for a semi-auto, and...

    Booked a Texas night-time hog hunt - what do I need, and what is just nice?

    SO I finally got enough overtime in my fun fund (convincing the wife that my annual June prairie dog trip should be a family event, thus coming out of our vacation fund helped) to book a NE Texas hog hunt. The guide I chose does all spot-n-stalk in the Sabine River valley using 6.8 ARs with...

    Mini review of the Condor Nessmuk

    I picked up a Condor Nessmuk last week, and have read a ton of mixed reviews on it. Everything from 5 stars to 1 or less. Most have complained about the grind and hardness of the steel. Once unboxed the Nessie was exactly that - a Nessmuk inspired design. Basic handles, some sort of...

    Are American made kitchen knives a thing of the past?

    Sharpened a few Old Hickory knives this morning on my WEPS, which got me thinking, then Googling. Are there any American made kitchen knives still in production? Old Hickory still makes them, but from what I've read the newer ones are thinner than the old, and I really don't care for the...

    Angle(s) on a Mora?

    I'm trying to recreate the original "double" bevel on a Mora I've abused. Its a single bevel currently, at 26 degrees per side. I'm using a WEPS. I *think* I'll use the current 26, and then open it up to 30 for the secondary angle, but any advice is most welcome. And I have to say - 14...

    Havalon replaceable blade knives - Any opinions?

    I just cleaned up after processing a couple of deer and am about to break out the WEPS to put an edge back on the blades i used. I remember seeing these sometime and thinking they were a gimmick, but I am very interested in hearing your opinions. I don't process beef or pork anymore, just a...

    Where are the youth rifles with wood stocks?

    Apologies in advance for the long post... My daughter is finally hunting with me this year. After a 10 year wait, one of my greatest joys is about to occur. This year she is using a Rossi Trifecta(.243, 22lr, and 20 Gauge barrels) and its doing ok for her on the range. With my handloads...

    Good news: I got a tag:) Bad news: it runs concurrent to firearm deer:mad: Good news: I'm in a managed(2 deer) zone, so will most likely have some fairly fresh heads/carcasses/hides for bait:) Bad news: I have NO idea how to pursue wolves:mad: We have them on the property I hunt...

    Wicked Edge gets here Thursday!

    I finally broke down and purchased the WE (and an angle cube). Delivery should be some time Thursday. I've already picked out the first "volunteers" - an old Case Western that was sharpened by someone on a bench grinder, an assortment of low-end stainless kitchen knives, and a rescued Mora...

    Your "go-to" powder for less-than-accurate rifles?

    Over the years I've had many friends who possessed "inaccurate" rifles. I generally ask if I could borrow the rifle and try to work up a load that works. In all but one occasion I've been able to find a bullet/powder combination that will get to less that 2MOA at 100, and often quite a bit...

    I need a set of scales made

    I have a Valkman 6" fighter in D2 that I purchased to finish. I also purchased a really nice block of stabilized box elder burl. I am now(after 2 years) realizing that I don't have the knowledge, equipment, or testicular fortitude to accomplish this on my own. Can anyone suggest a good...

    Looking for a copy of the manual for a CVA Kentucky rifle

    Does anyone have(or had) an EA Brown 97D falling block rifle?

    What to look for in a used Pietta 1858?

    I'll be taking a look at a used Pietta 1858 tomorrow afternoon. Aside from bore condition(and overall condition for that matter) what do i need to pay particular attention to with these revolvers? The seller state he bought it on a whim, and fired 20 rounds through it. It also comes with a...

    Having problems locating a replacement extractor for a Howa 1500

    The extractor on my Howa 1500 in .204 has a small chip in it. Most likely, it was a metallurgical problem from the start. I've fired around 1500 rounds through this rifle, and absolutely love it. However...I can't seem to find a replacement extractor! My Google searches aren't turning up...

    Prairie Doggin' 2012

    I just returned from my annual Father's Day Prairie Dog trip. This year I took the Howa in 204, and my custom Remington 700 in 260, along with 300 rounds for each. After 2 days I ran out of ammo, with a hit percentage of 46%. I also did something I've never done before - had repeated hits at...
