@Altitude sickness - well, that would certainly “minimize” your profit potential. Reading other posts, some mentioned buying Gold/Silver coins as easier to sell later and that seems to make sense. Of course you would need to store them yourself and have a safe place to keep them (good quality...

@Sourdough - question about when You “travel out of the Country” you carry gold bars/gram bars “hidden in a belt”? Unless you are driving Out-of-the-Country doesn’t going thru a metal detector and/or Customs detect your “hidden gold”?

@Red Leg - I am Not much of an investor and my question is: How would “Capital Gain” be determined? If you buy a 1oz gold coin from a private seller for $1000 and later sell it to another buyer for $2000 ——where is the record of the sales and reporting coming from? Especially if the sale is a...

@jbirdwell - Yes he is, I have met @BeeMaa many times - shooting sporting clays with him & his Wife——-good guy and takes pride in (and meticulous care of) his equipment.

@pilar - it is STILL “common practice” and should ALWAYS be the practice of any gentleman to open a door for a Lady or the elderly. I think (hope?) what you saw was the exception.

@Hogpatrol - thanks and thats good information….sounds like Great Company and Great Customer Service

@Hyde - thanks and you’re right ..the price keeps coming down - 10 years ago $800 was a good price then dropped to $700 and NOW $600?? I guess the technology is either cheaper to produce or there is competition from other——NEWER scopes competing with them? Hopefully their quality has remained...

@Hyde Hunter - “green” is usually the BRIGHTEST, at least to my eyes and others I’ve spoken to

@Hyde Hunter - since 2013 I have used a Trijicon Accupoint 3-9 x 40 with standard Duplex and illuminated green Dot in center of reticle. I have been VERY PLEASED with it for Night Hunting Coyotes a top my .22-250 and have killed 25+ Coyotes and 15+ Fox with it, most at 100 to 150 yrds but a few...

@Fatback - what an impressive improvement in your Fitness level and the discipline to lose 90 lbs….not many men could do that (lose 90 lbs at age 45 AND stay FIT enough to go on a Dall Sheep hunt) = IMPRESSIVE. The older I get the more important it is to stay in shape and maintain healthy...

@wiyofa - I would guess that in the States “Requiring” reporting Wounded & Lost game….that is a Frequently Violated game law and very hard for Game Wardens to enforce. Many Outfitters have a policy that “if you draw Blood - your hunt is over” but some do Not. I hunted in Illinois 10+ years ago...

@375Fox - agree, Nobody is getting strip searched (unless they request it !)

@JHT - how old were you when you tried to ‘barehand’ that Copperhead? Also how large was that snake and how long did it take you (after being bitten) to get medical treatment or “antivenin”? That must’ve been a very painful and rough time after that bite. I take note from your picture and...

@PARA45 - that is a beautifully patterned Timber Rattler - I’ve never seen one marked exactly like that one….it is also much larger then average - looks close to 5 feet? I’ve only encountered 2 in my years spent in the woods of PA, NJ, and VA. The best was a 54” I caught while camping in PA...

@Muskox - good point and that would be “one” of my concerns. 15 years ago my friends hunted ducks in Mexico and brought back many with no problems —- But when I hunted ducks in Mexico 8-9 years ago was unable to bring any back into the US. For me, it would be a complete waste to hunt Turkey in...
