Remember, rings don't plug holes

I always thought that I had everything that I needed when it came to firearms... However , I have always had a lot of wants. And then the state that I live in (Oregon) passed a law that will require a long drawn out, expensive permitting process to go thru before you have "the right" to...

Like said above, lots of land that is open to the public. The deadline to apply for draw only areas of Central/Eastern Oregon is May 15th. Our mule deer population has really decreased over the last few years. Blacktail in the coast range seem to be fairing a little better. There is a lot of...

The Brothers Car Collection? I would love to see that also! Google says that the Club Miata Northwest is doing a spey viewing on 6/1/25 ... tickets are $30, max of 50 people... I think some of the other local car clubs get in from time to time... I keep bugging my friend to get his Model T...

I saw this one at my local Cabela's earlier this week in their Gun Library... Nice rifle and not a bad price either https://www.cabelas.com/shop/en/101753029

I saw this today at my local Cabela's... I am pretty sure it is an example of what Not to do to a rifle... I just don't understand

Deadpool 2. I wish the whole superhero genre would just go away at this point and they would go back to making the good stuff.

Can you speak up? It's hard to hear you with that pity dick in your mouth.

Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man. I often quote it to myself while shooting

Did you guys see the size of that chicken?

No Country For Old Men. Such a great movie

I always assumed that she left him because he made her have 400 children and she was tired....

I have the model 120, which I think is cheaper model of the 1200?? My parents bought it for me when I was 13 or 14 in the early 80s. It's been my only shotgun for the last 40 years and I have never ever had it malfunction thru quite a few thousands of rounds.

Kind of a dick move..

Remember when Copenhagen went to 50 cents and we all bitched... Then about the time I was in the 8th grade it went to 85 cents a can and we all swore if it hit $1 we were quitting..... Once it hit a buck, you had to be careful who you bummed a chew from because some guys liked to recycle....I...

The Fever Tree bullet looks good. I bet you would need a pretty hefty charge to make the 610 grainer effective. I could never get the Great Plains to shoot well. But Maxi-Balls work well in both my 54 cal side lock and my daughter's 50 cal in-line. The in-line has a 1-24 twist. It shoots best...

That's a huge bullet. Please post a picture of one when you mold some up.

This is on my bucket list before I die.... But it just may kill me..oh well

Ridge above Little Potamus Creek and North Fork of the John Day River in Eastern Oregon. I've made sure to make it to this spot at least once a year since I was a kid.

So is it lea-pold or lew-pold or lewa-pold? Living close to their headquarters/factory and meeting a few people that have worked for them, you would think I would know...but I have heard all three pronunciations over the years by people that should know...

After mowing weeds most of the day, I am going to say allergies. There's allergies in that picture!

I have a Krag also. My dad is in his mid 80's now and he has slowly started parsing out his rifles to my brother and I. Out of the 15-20 guns he has sent home with me over the last couple of years, the Krag is the one I desired the most... I remember shooting it as a kid and thinking it was...

I don't know, I've done a lot of thinking about this. I like to think that any time that you go afield after multiple species, it could be considered a safari. Hunt what the bush gives up on any particular day. A couple of years ago, my wife and I both had tags for both deer and elk that we...

I received this email today from normausa.com...

I miss the days when you dialed a long distance number and the operator came on to ask what number to bill the call to. My brothers and I were little a-holes and almost always gave them the neighbors number.... surprisingly, I don't think they ever caught on.

That's that doohickey thingy that you use to light a fire when you forgot matches or a lighter and your stuck in the woods.... I wonder how many died ( or at least thought they were going to die from lack of nicotine) since the dumb asses made them stop installing in new vehicles???

The newest issue of American Rifleman has an interesting article regarding reloading with just the essential steps vs fully prepping each case and how practical accuracy was affected. The difference was pretty small. When I was young, my dad would help me reload. He reloaded his entire adult...

My dad has a friend that used to contract with the state to hunt cougars with his hounds. He swears by a 45-70 using 400 grain bullets. It protects his hounds. I have a friend that has called in a few cougars. He prefers his AR for quick follow up shots after nearly being run over after...

I bought a Kimber with aluminum? frame in 2020. I really like it... My only complaint is that it definitely took 300-400 rounds to work out the kinks... I had occasional failure to feed issues with the factory mag. The last round would not feed. I purchased Mec-Gar mags and haven't had any...

450 Marlin??

Amazingly Beautiful

I was on a long drive today and Pandora was on my Thumb Prints (all the songs I have marked with a thumbs up) station... So it was a ton of Corb Lund, The Dead South, Colter Wall, Tim His, Sturgill Simpson, The Hu (Mongolian metal [emoji12], and a good healthy dose of Cash and Waylon...oh, and...

Very good points... I've always ran my "experiments" in warm weather and ferment in the house... my wife swears she's going to come home and find me having a Ricky Bobbie moment from Talladega Nights... Rolling around in the yard yelling for Tom Cruise and baby Jesus to put out the invisible fire...

Do you just tie the hooker on top of the load?

Toilet paper. rifle, shot gun, pistol and a boat load of ammo. Paper towels for when the TP runs out. Tent with stove. Chainsaw and axe and fuel. Sweet feed (corn, oats, rye, molasses). Couple of buckets, Pots, pans, ext A small still (for distilled water [emoji12]) Jars Yeast and sugar...

I think that's where ET is hiding

Welcome to AH from a former East Oregonian (I like think if you are born in the best place on Earth, then you should always be able to say you're from there!)... This is definitely the best place to learn all about hunting Africa. I agree with you about the ODFW... it's pretty sad that, if you...

Windhoek Draught is possibly the best tasting beer that I have ever had. But it also made me miserably gassy. Not the best thing when trying to make a good impression on safari

Hey, please stop posting pictures of my home improvement projects! I really am trying to do better!

I love your camp. I feel pretty fortunate that your style of camping is my wife's favorite way. We use 2 gazebos and attach walls. It gives us a nice 10x20 space that only takes a few minutes to set up. Cabela's used to sell nice walls, but small tarps work fine.

Here are a couple of my favorites

I remember that as well. Hopefully someone with better search skills than me can find the thread, or the member will post on this thread. It was pretty interesting and eye opening as to what safari outfitters have to deal with

I watched it many times with my oldest brother. He was a timber faller here in Oregon and naturally loved anything to do with logging. The arm tied onto the boat flipping the bird is still one of my favorite scenes from any movie.

I only have my John Deere 750. I have no real need for it, I really only "need" a good riding mower, but where's the fun in that. I grew up on 15 acres, my dad said we had no need for a tractor, he had 3 strong boys and an old pickup or two if we needed to pull/haul anything. Supposedly it was...

Very true, but I know for a fact when your dumb ass older brother blows up the same farmers mailbox 3 times in a matter of weeks, the FBI will get involved... He made the front page of the local paper for 3 weeks running. The poor guy who owned the box thought someone was out to get him. He was...

Do you take nuts? I got a left one that I don't do much with....I'm getting old and fat, so I could probably get by without the right one too

Damnit

You need a 223 because you can almost always find ammo, or at least it's cheap enough to buy a bunch to get thru the dumb ammo shortages we seem to have every few years. You DO need a 22-250, because it's awesome. Great for coyotes and other vermin. It's just fun. And you do need a 243 for...
