the reason i mentioned banging around into walls and doors is not the mess. it's so you can bring the gun to bare quickly instead of having the gun get tangled at a critical moment. it's one of the reasons tactical weapons are so small.
a .22 can kill a coyote. however it's not going to stop...
Not sure if this goes here or in predators and pest section. mods move if needed.
i usually bake raccoons like you would a turkey with sweet potatoes around it. but i'm looking for some new ideas. how to you cook your varmints. Coon, possum, snake, ect anything goes. i'd like to know how you...
keep setting traps and stock up on sweet potatoes. mmmmmmm baked coon and sweet potatoes!!!! i'm surprised that the raccoons are so hungry there. it's deer season. while it's illegal many hunters bait their fields. the raccoons eat as much of the corn as the deer. around here they are fat as...
try the Mossberg 500 Bantam. i prefer a 12-gauge chambered gun but for the beginner or for less kick i would suggest a .410 or 20-gauge. it's a youth/woman's gun. (for the ladies i say youth/woman's gun because it's shorter and lighter. tends to be more user friendly for 10 to 16 year old kids...
you need to get it checked for what shells it can chamber as well. shells have gotten longer over the years. you can buy firing pins from the manufacturer modern barrels too. if you can't replace them yourself, they was a military grade model made. most korea or vietnam vets could probably field...
just any funny convo or story. i'm going stir crazy with screaming jumping kids. i all for making video games more interactive. but the first few days of having a new system or game kills me if i can't get away. (it's been raining all day.)
i'm from a very rural area in alabama. the shop teacher told us if asked why we brought a knife to school, to tell the person it was for shop and he told us to bring it. any male student was subject to be asked for his knife by teachers and if they didn't have one they got a funny look. shop...
oh one more sorta. proof that someone upstairs has a sense of humor.
I was coming back from a deer drive. and had 2 on the back of my truck. stop at the local gas station to show them off to a few friends there. one of the clerks there says. "I don't know why any of you hunt deer. they are...
figured i'd relate this little conversation i had with a vegan. i think it's funny anyway.
i was working construction at the time and was sitting outside on the sidewalk. the building we were re-wireing was like a strip mall store. anyway i brought my lunch that day and was eating ham (from a...
if you want to be able to breath don't use a shotgun, if you shoot him he's going to spray. most live traps won't set them off. just remember if you trap him, you will have to treat him like an un-exploded grenade, they can be reeeeeeeely twitchy when you try to relocate them. use a full length...
vicious, smelly little family of vermin. mink, martin, skunk, badger, wolverine, ferret, weasel all the same family and all murderous. not many creatures kill for fun, dogs will because they are breed for something similar (bird dogs and the sort), chimps will if in adolescent gangs but they are...
this is just my experience, but it has been that a hen that gets broody once will again if they raise a brood. my best mammas will molt, then start to lay with the other hens, they may lay for a week or 2 then get broody. i try to breed my birds to be broody. i have a high turnover meat/eggs. so...
i'm camera shy and my DW won't let me near her camera anyway. i'll try though. no promises.
i notice everyone is avoiding my question though? it's a very grave matter that could effect my sleeping arrangement, not to mention if she stops cooking for me i could lose the baby (thats the only way...
yep got your attention didn't i. i'm going bull trail riding tomorrow. yep me and 1800 lbs of beef on the hoof and open trail. why risk bodily harm? because it's the fatherly thing to do. oldest son has a friend that wants to go trail riding with us tomorrow. i said his friend could ride my...
house cat if thats a quarter. cats sometimes leave claw marks if the surface is deep enough like loose mud or snow. melting snow can really muss a track.
not sure where you are, but around here (south alabama) we have a lot timber company land. they lease out the land for hunting clubs. some of the city folk will go to the pound and get a dog to run the deer. when the dog doesn't run deer or they get through with it at the end of the season. they...
