I was unaware that I was exchanging views with an English major. I'll endeavor to pay more attention to sentence, paragraph structure and grammar in future posts,
Why do YOU assume that I thought they would be anti-brake? Maybe they'd all love them - I have no idea, just thought that their professional opinions on them would be interesting.
I wonder what some of these guys would have thought about muzzlebrakes: Jack O'Connor, Pete Brown, Townsend Whelen, Peter Hathaway-Capstick, John Taylor, Jim Corbett...
Only a partial list, but you get the idea.
I don't/won't use a muzzlebrake. If a gun has too much recoil (for me), out the...
The only thing I would add is to check out taxidermy costs before you come up. One of the respondents suggested getting the taxi work done here. It will be much more expensive to have it done here, if you can find a good taxi close to home. I would expect the transportation costs back to MT...
One good thing about pushing thru the brush here is - NO freakin snakes to think about. One bad thing is that the brush might not be as flexible as it is further south. :)
Good luck on your hunt.
If you try any of the over the counter meds to solve your son's allergy problems, go slowly. Like Westxhunter, I take a pill everyday. I use Aller-Tec, which (for me) has no side effects. Most allergy meds tend to make me sleepy or at least not very alert. Dosing him up might tend to negate...
For many years my Army dress trousers (mid 60's issue) were my main hunting pants. The pockets were sacrificed long before the pants finally wore out. The pockets were made of a pretty strong fabric - no need to double up to get the job done.
"Guides and HUNTERS". In AK real world experience doesn't include a lot of "outfitted camps horses/mule packed -in with large tents, much gear & equipment". Most guided hunts revolve around small plane travel. As such, flights are minimized to increase profits. A lot of personal hunts can...
All the guides (and hunters) I know (here in AK) cook and eat inside the tent (depending on weather). Most store food under the tent fly. (Lots of places there are no trees to hang food from and other "safe storage" methods are too bulky or heavy to be practical.)
The rules on food storage and...
Do you have kids in the house? Hyper kids will keep the dog in a similar state.
Nature or nurture? Both, really.
Our last 4 labs have been brought home on their 49th birth day. One of the books I read (years ago) made the point that pups separated from the litter on that day resulted in...
Regrets:
1. SKB 12 ga, (purchased in 1966), imported under the Ithaca label.
2. Ruger 77 280 Rem - given to my son who turned around and traded it on a WBY Vangard (grrr.)
3. Win 24 12 ga - it wasn't pretty but killed a LOT of birds.
At one time my son owned 3 Browning Superposeds in 12 ga...
