    Lee Case Trimmers

    I have lee trimmers for all of my cartridges. I finally got the zip trim and boy what a difference. One thing that I noticed about the lee trimmers is that sometimes you need to make sure that the trimmer is screwed down all of the way on the cutter. It don't take much to make sure but it's...

    How old do bears get?

    I shot one once that was 22 years old also, her teeth were wore flat and she was blind with cataracts. So seems to me that 20 plus years is the top end.

    Look who was in my back yard last evening...

    He was 30 yards tops. I was in my wife walnut tree picking walnuts and my hollars at me and says what's that, I look around and said that's a bear. So got the dogs in the house and grabbed the camera and told the wife to grab my 44 mag just in case and she brings me the 45. I figured that would...

    This was fun taking the pictures, but I had a gun with me the whole time.
