    Hunter Attacked by Cougar; Shoots Same

    Do you mean one of these??? It was a road kill and I snapped a picture; however, this is what we call a black tail. A neighbor killed similar one with 17 rattles. And no, I haven't been to West Texas in many decades.

    Hunter Attacked by Cougar; Shoots Same

    Years ago, the health department would give the shots for free and today is very different. In other articles, I read DeDe Phillips "knew" if she clapped her hands and made noise the bobcat would beat feet. As this bobcat had rabies, the usual didn't work. Here, we have black tail...

    Hunter Attacked by Cougar; Shoots Same

    The first round of shots cost the woman who choked the rabid bobcat to death about $10K. ""DeDe was attacked by a Bobcat that tested positive for rabies and now has to have treatments to keep herself safe. The shots are around $10,000 each set and she needs at least 4 more.," the page's...

    Hunter Attacked by Cougar; Shoots Same

    Except the tail is curved. Matt said the hanging tail rather than a curved one.. Due to rain and mist; even the poorest NV pictures I have show spots. This picture isn't bobcat and it has a short tail . https://www.wildcatsmagazine.nl/images/poemawcm1.jpg I'm not giving you a hard time. I've...

    Hunter Attacked by Cougar; Shoots Same

    I'll stick with two GA game wardens verdict. They based it on the ears and tail. According to them, the bobcats ears are pointed and the panther's are rounded. If it is short, the bobcat's tail is spotted and curled; the panther's is heavier and has a dark end. One of the game wardens sent me...

    Poll: Slide Lubrication: Oil, Grease, Both, Neither

    IMO, you are exactly correct. Even though it was a runny liquid, LSA was a grease; however, a lightweight grease. After the other issues were dealt with; LSA cured the problems with the M-16.

    Question on AR platform, DI vs piston

    Where we live, cable isn't available and we haven't added satellite TV, yet. As a result, we both subscribe to a lot of magazines. I've noticed your comment "a bit less accuracy (pistons generally are less accurate) or more" is spot on based on the the groups the magazine writers shoot. No...

    SC Hunter and Daughter Mistaken For Deer - Killed

    I know it was off topic; however, buck460XVR made a heck of a point. It seems today way too many people ignore the rules/laws so many of us follow simply because we were brought up that way. I don't know what is wrong with some people today..

    Hunter Attacked by Cougar; Shoots Same

    They are here in NE Georgia. The local newspaper, the Toccoa Record ran a picture of one and I've caught them on trail cameras. According to the game warden, it is a 75# ±5# cat. This is about 50'-60' from our cabin. Even though the local Game Wardens have seen them; officially, GA DNR...

    SC Hunter and Daughter Mistaken For Deer - Killed

    Ending a life is bad enough; killing a child.. You're just so much wrong here covered it.. However, in all fairness we don't know all the details; however as you mentioned, 2 people getting hit with buckshot is difficult to accept.. Hitting two people with buckshot through whatever prevented...

    SC Hunter and Daughter Mistaken For Deer - Killed

    Two people shot as deer? In a very few words, there is no excuse. A bud back home had a goat shot during deer season . A mostly white goat with a few brown spots is no way close to a deer.

    what kind of reticle should i get?

    That depends on the optics. I prefer the Mil-Dot reticle; however, I know how to use one.. Although it takes a bit of "work;" it really isn't that challenging. Once one "gets" it they'll never go back to Kentucky windage. This is a good teacher: http://www.mildot.com

    Rock River LAR-15 question

    I have ARs with a Wylde chamber and one without. The Wylde chambers shoot .223 or 5,56 better than one with the 5,56 chamber.
