    If I said that to my ex wife I would also get a strip tease ..with all kinds of gyrations.

    Wanted: Top end Pronghorn hunt

    The tag or the animal? We have drawn our tags every year for the last 32 years except for the covid year when my hunting partner didn't purchase a hunting license that is required to put in or the hunt. We do the HAM's hunt, handgun, archery, muzzle loader. I have a friend whose group...

    Hello all, glad to be here! Looking for some bullet performance info and opinions...

    Whitetail and mule deer are not hard to kill as long as you put that bullet into the right place. Most cup and core bullets will work just fine on them. It has been said that African animals like to cling to life but I have had no problems with them except for a couple where I didn't do the...

    Wanted: Top end Pronghorn hunt

    I had been putting in for Wyoming for a number of years along with Arizona and Utah. Arizona and Utah require a "qualifying" license but since I hunt javelina down in Arizona every year and have a lifetime license in Utah it is no extra cost for me. I realized a number of years of how dumb I...

    Practice bullets vs hunting bullets

    For a few of my rifles I'll load factory blems or cheap bullets for practice. When I am forming rounds for my 7-30 Waters I'll use blems or cheaper bullets. This round takes a 30-30 case, blows out the shoulder and necks down the neck from .30 to 7mm. I have also found that my loads for...

    There are only 4 grades if diesel fuel #1 which works best in cold climates. #2 for most if not all vehicles. Light and heavy trucks and farm machinery. #4 for heavy industrial use or low speed engines. And then biodiesel. I'm not counting bunker fuel that large ships use. Cetane levels...

    Anymore off and on road diesel is exactly the same diesel fuel except for the red dye in the off road. I've heard that they add the dye when the truck is loaded and I have heard that they add it at the stations. I know a number of pickup truck owners who run the red dye in their diesel...

    Where in the US are you guys putting in for tags this year?

    Wyoming like most states for non residents is totally draw. There are units that you may be able to draw every year and then there are units that it will take you a dozen or more years. For me I'll have a muzzle loader deer tag in Utah from my lifetime license. I'll also put in for a...

    What is good or bad about the .416 WBY?

    A number of people have problems with the Weatherby's velocity where they have to push the pressure envelope and when you do that changes in temperature can cause problems. Shooting on a nice cool day and you'll have zero problems, increase that temperature 20-30 degrees and you might. Not...

    Shipping Firearm from Africa to USA

    I haven't done it but check with UPS or FedX. With the mail service in SA it is more likely to be stolen than shipped.

    Wanted: Top end Pronghorn hunt

    Good luck. Even the best outfitter may strike out getting a hunter onto a 80"+ pronghorn in the best of all areas. And when they do the shots may be very long.

    Got scammed

    The big problem is replying to a new member who contacts you saying that they have just what you want. Sad thing is that forum owners can't really do anything to stop them. A couple forums that I am on require xx amount of post and yy amount of time before they can even send a DM. But even that...
