Curses and spiritual warfare is real, gentlemen and ladies…

I take this back. Anyone have a recommendation for a similar online app? Much as I love USAA, international wire transfers require a long and tedious phone call.

The advertisement states the seller is consigning on behalf of a now deceased friend. This rifle — or it’s twin / sibling — was just listed on this very forum whilst underneath a Cabela’s sale just a few months back. Interesting.

My dad has my grandfather’s 32 Winchester special, made in the early 1940s. He’s taking a few deer in Wyoming with the rifle, and apparently, the rifle and round were very accurate, as my grandfather was a crack shot. Haven’t ever really messed with the load data. Just used federal...

DripDrop is my go-to. Very effective, even in the desert.

That’s a great idea. Gosh, I’d be open to being a companion hunter, as it were, too. I’m a pretty good traveling buddy, don’t mind austerity & Spartan conditions at all, been to Africa multiple times, seen a lot of the world and could be a back up gun as needed. Would definitely scratch the...
