@mgstucson - You are referring to HR218 which is a Federal Law NEVER tested in a State Court so only in theory would you “eventually beat the rap” —- it’s never been done. Regardless, you better have millions $$$ to cover the extensive legal fees for your Defense Lawyers and Years of appeals —...

@Scott CWO - NO, I am Not against Hunter Education but I credit that Hunter Orange has been the largest reason for the reduction in Hunters accidentally being mistaken for game animals. You mention some States require “only a Hat” - that’s All that’s needed, an Orange hat can be seen 1/2 a mile...

@Denvir Tire - when someone claims that “Deer & Moose see it” there’s No Point debating or even discussing….they Know-it-All. @MS 9x56 - save your breath, some members Know-it-All

@Slaton - I don't think rain stops Bears from feeding or moving and have taken several during straight down rain (but Not in high wind)…..Good Hunting to you

@Russ16 - correct on TREESTANDS now being the number one accident, serious injury, & cause of death for Hunters. The reason Hunters are Now “rarely” mistaken for Game is ORANGE

@Slaton - Congratulations on your Bear and 245lbs “On a Scale” is a very good Quebec bear —- most are in the 100-150lb range and most Camps NEVER use a scale (better to Estimate the Bear at 200-300lbs then actually weigh it and find out is 135 lbs).. I’ve done 3 Bear Hunts in Quebec and only...

@Green Chile - Agree on the “ThermaCell”. I use to think they were a stupid gimmick —— until I tried one, they WORK Great ! In seconds the constant “humming & buzzing” from Black Flys stopped. I would Not do a Spring Bear Hunt over Bait again without a ThermaCell ——much more enjoyable.

@Betterinthebush - at least they aren’t “Over Protective Parents”! Some people think all animals behave like in a Walt Disney cartoon. Regardless of those few dopes — I have enjoyed several of our National Parks: Yellowstone, Yosemite, Glacier…..All were absolutely spectacular and (kooky...

@Betterinthebush - since Dall Sheep are taken with Archery equipment - obviously many Hunters are able to get well under 300 yrds (30 to 70 likely for a Bow). Terrain/conditions and effort/skill would all play a role in getting close. I’m not disagreeing with you that when Rifle hunting - take...

@RLD - I believe Hunter Ed is always “helpful” but the Hunter ORANGE was what instantly reduced accidental shootings keeping Hunters from being “mistaken for game”. New York State w just recently began to require Hunter Orange for Big Game hunting (one of the last States to do so). That will...

@mgstucson - what Year did you drive to Niagara Falls with a Handgun in your trunk? Just having that handgun in your car-trunk-Unloaded & locked up was a Felony in New York State….forget about Canada - it’s New York you need to worry about. New York does Not care that you are from Texas with a...

@Scott CWO - I don’t think Hunter Education for those born 1949 or later reduced hunting fatalities - it was Hunter ORANGE requirements that drastically reduced accidental shootings. NJ had Hunter Educcation requirements well before Hunter ORANGE was required — it was the ORANGE that reduced...

@mark-hunter: I don’t see any Government being capable of passing on (or teaching) “skills & values” but they could set basic Safety Standards and require New Hunters to understand the specific Laws related to hunting & firearm handling - before allocating them a hunting License…so if that’s...

@Altitude sickness - You make an interesting point on Big Game hunting “draw blood = tag filled”. I don’t think most U.S. States have that law? But I know that for Waterfowl Hunting any “crippled & lost duck” is to be considered Part of your Daily Limit. Also, many hunting camps enforce a...

@Scott CWO - I would Not support any Government imposed requirements to obtain a Hunting License other then a minimum age and “Basic Safety Training” (SAFE Firearm handling, Bow, MZ etc..). The best “training” for new hunters is a Parent, Grandfather, Brother, Friend, that is an “Experianced”...

@Hunt anything - I especially like your Waterfowl & pheasant mounts — very lifelike and difficult to find a taxidermist that can do quality birds…

@wildfowler.250 - when I created a 20’ x 20’ with 12’ ceiling Trophy Room I used red oak stained wood panels on every wall - from the floor up 42”, then Sheetrock up to the ceiling. The Sheetrock walls were painted “Hunter Green” with eggshell finish - this is a very classic and dark green...

@Bob Nelson 35Whelen - is that true? Has anyone really made a .45-70 out of a Ruger Red Label shotgun? Red Label shotguns won’t even hold up to high volume skeet shooting with standard target shells…..good shotguns for hunting but you don’t get 50,000+ rounds thru them like skeet/clays...

@Doc Kelly - seems everyone who has met or knows CB has a very high opinion of him. I don’t understand how anyone who has Not met him or know him at all can disparage him and form any negative opinion…. I assume it is jealousy and with that a desire to bring down someone that is very successful...

@Muskox - so you are implying that if I can “just live to 100” I’m gonna get some good buys on CLASSIC quality firearms: matched pair of H&H Royal 12 bore for $600.? Makes me want to stay healthy - knowing that someday I’ll finally be able to afford a Holland & Holland….and be buried with it !!

@NIGHTHAWK - nice boots, Danner makes a good product and they “sew” the soles on their boots Unlike most brands today that Glue them on. They also make most of their boots available in Wider widths ( EE ) which helps me. These Sierra’s sell new for $370 to $470 depending on promotions but the...

@Kevin Peacocke - Agree Kevin, waiting for something special and the “anticipation” add to the enjoyment when it finally arrives. I have to admit that I “Do track packages” because that has also become part of the “anticipation”. However, I’d always rather purchase something in a store, handle...

@mdwest - Question: Does anyone think that the younger or Next Generation of Hunters does Not care about High quality optics as much as those over 50 do? Similar to the trend towards “black guns” semi autos, suppressors vs. nice wood stocks, beautiful blued metal, engraving, and other...

@JGRaider is that a Fact? I can’t get too wrapped up in this, just don’t know enough to have an informed opinion,,,but I’m gonna Guess you won’t be attending any of his Book Signings…

@rookhawk - would be interested to know the frequency of injuries related to UNsafe Vintage firearms vs Modern ones? Obviously when either occurs it makes “headlines” and is written/talked about a lot but it appears both are a very rare occurrence. Now, “rare” is a relative term and without...

@JGRaider - You must know him well to form such a strong opinion…. I Do NOT know him at all — only his books and maybe some hearsay & 3rd hand info — nothing enough to form an opinion on.

@dogcat1: I think you Must admire a Man who’s on his “4th Wife” and that proves his GREATNESS ! Most Men can barely survive ONE Wife, think of it as surviving thru THREE Lion Charges ….and the Living to tell the Story — what are the odds of that?

@Russ16 - what you Don’t care for — is what I like Most about him: He writes in a fairly straight forward—-to the point Way…less “drama”. If I want to hear a good “Story” I’ll talk to a Drunk at the Bar. You may be correct, he might not be a ‘great writer’ but so many Great Writers...

@GENTZ SPORTING ARMS - Jason, you have been one of my Best finds on the internet….a random search looking for a Volquartsen Superlite in .22 WM = found GENTZ and led to the exact model I was looking for, best price by far, fast shipping, AND a “wealth of knowledge” gained while talking to you...

@NIGHTHAWK - ok you know I was kidding… heart rate of 155 is good for an older guy, even being able to climb “anything” in your 50s is likely above average! Agree it’s a Hunt and Not a competition

@NIGHTHAWK - so a “Hunter” quit because he had Wet-feet?? Hopefully he was thrown out of Camp in “shame”….maybe he could take up “Fishing”.

@K-man but Gaiters won’t keep any “exposed” parts of his boots dry — the water will soak in from the toe box and where soles attach to boots etc.. Especially if walking thru wet snow - even if that snow is only 2”-3” deep. I like leather boots and goretex if the weather is cold, I can also...

@chase0109 - You are correct regarding the Law, at least that is how it works in the USA. Laws state what is “illegal” and Not what IS Legal. But, I have No idea how other Countries legal system works. There is no written law that says it IS Legal to “kiss your Wife” but Men have been getting...

@mrpoindexter - Many Hunters will comment how “concerned” they are with an animal suffering or deserving a “humane” death. I agree that a goal of all Hunters should be a Quick-clean-kill. But, Every animal shot by rifle or bow will suffer some pain (except maybe a Brain shot) before it dies...

@Nomsag: The Buffalo, You, and Your Daughter all look Great !! What a wonderful photo (except That rifle is an eyesore)

@Cooposo - AGREE and you make very good points

@generalzip - there are some things that will NEVER look “normal”, such as Rosie O'Donnell on the cover of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue…Not Now, Not in a 1000 years.

@Rem280 - I’d rather look at Somalia and then look at America…..when I can’t see a difference then I’ll consider a move to Somalia (Unless they have Great Hunting and then I’d risk it). That’s the trade off: Risk vs. Reward — Africa is worth it.

@mark-hunter - I’ve seen some UGLY rifles but that pic you posted is a clear Winner, looks like a Slug gun barrel on a Handicap Stock….it should be sold with a cane & tin cup. I fully agree with You that any Suppressor on a classic hunting rifle looks atrocious, like putting football cleats on...

@Tucketed — Agree, driving anywhere in FLORIDA is a Danger, average Driver there is 96 years old, reflexes of a Turtle, eyes like Blue Marbles from Cataracts, deaf as a rock, and likely lost & confused.

@Russ16 - Get Smart…. Barbara Eden (I Dream of Jeannie) had the hotter bod !

@Sturgeondrjb - I get your point but NO you don’t have “more to fear in most large USA cities”. Most “Crimes” don’t happen in a Hunting Camp — and Not in the woods either, the problems are in or near Cities, that’s where the risk increases. Of course everyone is safe in a Safari Camp —- it’s...

@375er - AGREE, I found out about GENTZ just plodding thru the internet and gave a call - “Jason” answers the phone himself, very personable —- knows his stuff ! His customer Service is EXCEPTIONAL, and Jason handles all aspects of the sale, shipping etc.. Personally. Jason also deals with...

@Cooposo - I was disappointed in “The Revenant”, too many obvious Computer-Generated-Images AND they fabricated the “true” parts of the story…the entire event really took place during the Summer months but I guess surviving a Grizzly attack wasn’t exciting enough for Hollywood - so they added...

@Russ16 - that’s because You’re OLD (and so am I)…. But agree, she makes all time Top 10 list

@PCC600 - well “if True” that should be listed in Roland & Ward record books - better then a set of 100 lb tusks!!

@Flewis - Selling now on Guns International: New $14,499 and used $10,500, I think Champlain Arms has both listed.

@towserthemouser - and if he can work up to jumping rope on a High Wire while riding a unicycle — his ankles & balance will really get better…and add “Years to his Life” (until he falls and breaks his ass).

@BJH65 - I’m guessing you are over 70 years old and NOT from NJ — or both??

@Voodooracer - you should be able to get $9500 to $10,500. Not sure what you paid for it but they are a solid double and beautiful compared to Kreigoff and well above Merkal.
