    Sidearms & Scatterguns Spyderco Yojimbo 2

    Some of us don't have the luxury anymore of legally carrying a firearm. When I did, I had a CCW and carried my personal choice of firearms and yes that is plural. I still would if I could get a concealed carry in L.A. County CA. Having been a founding member of drug suppression for the U.S. Army...

    Hunting & Fishing Catching and Eating Bats

    Not on your life! Too many bats carry to many diseases like Rabies. I had a friend growing up that was bitten by a rabid animal back when you had to have the over 20 shots in the stomach. While that is no longer true. Thanks but NO thanks!

    Hunting & Fishing Lightweight Hunting Rifles

    If you can shoot a light rifle accurately under stress after running to the top of a ridge and the buck of a lifetime is bounding away more power to you! You are a better man than I am. I like a heavier barrel to help steady my aim but then that is how I grew up, was trained, and have hunted...

    Hunting & Fishing Killin Science and bullet selection for the layman

    I like controlled expansion bullets that my personal rifles shoot well. First is accuracy, then placement, then bullet construction, then dead animal. That said for dangerous game I have to admit I am an Elmer Keith throw back type of guy. I lean toward big bore guns and heavy controlled...

    Movie Theater Recommend books

    I'm a 68 year old "conservative". That said I became voracious reader after reading the book by Dee Brown called "Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee: An Indian History of the American West". You see I grew up with my best friend an American Indian in the Deep South of Arkansas. My second cousin you...

    Welcome from a fellow former member of the "green machine". Yes, the wife is always a major limiting factor. It is a good thing she never tries to lift any of my fishing tackle boxes:cool:.

    The CZ 455 is good. At 68 years old I have one so I guess I am still a kid at heart. Buy good glass because of its repeatability and it will last you. Check out some of the .22LR ammo sites that rate ammo buy a couple of boxes of each to try to find which your rifle likes best. What mine may...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Spyderco Yojimbo 2

    I really prefer its' fixed blade cousin the Spyderco Ronin 2 but knife laws being what they are some states only allow the carry of folders such as The Peoples Republic of California which only allow folders and many cities limit blade length. It is a serious fighting knife designed by Michael...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns What sidearm do y'all carry?

    Oh, I forgot to mention my Ruger Super Redhawk loaded with Randy Garrett 330grain Hammerheads in a cross chest carry rig when serious four legged social occasions are possible. I keep thinking of cutting the barrel to 5" as I find that length is so well balanced in the hand. You can get the .454...

    Rifle Scopes Tips For Asking Advice About Rifle Scopes

    Before Nightforce I was a Leupold Tactical scope guy. I really like the Nightforce Tactical long-range scopes with illuminated reticules. Pick the one you use the best. To each their own. You can't hit what you can't see. Check out the Nightforce 7-35x56 ATACR F1 MOAR Zstop DigIllum. It is just...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Knife Laws

    Honest officer, I was just trying to getaway and he kept getting tangled up in my cane. It was the darnedest thing I ever saw. There are at least some benefits to getting older and being told by a doctor to walk with a cane...

    K-Bars What Knife is in your pocket right now?

    Personally, I really l like the Spyderco Ronin 2 as I like Wharncliffe blades for smaller fixed blades that cut all out of proportion to their size. It has a very positive grip and sheath. I carry the folding model Yojimbo 2 only because it is illegal to carry the fixed blade in the Peoples...

    My wife and I owned Signe's Restaurant in Casper back in 1989 and I worked out at the Amoco Oil Refinery. I hunted all over the state for Pronghorn, Mule Deer, and Elk. If you contact ranchers and work with them you can find some fantastic places to hunt but you have to be willing to do some...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Knife Laws

    Knife laws in the USA are about as clear as the movie "Beatle Juice". In one state folding knife carry is illegal while in the next fixed blades are illegal and blade lengths are all over the place as well. Personally, I prefer the smaller fixed blades as you don't have to open them. I like...
