No more a storage for memories. When you look at a gun you've had you think fondly of what you've done with it.

One option that gives the spacial awareness of irons and the accuracy of a scope is having a long eye relief scope. Gives you your peripheral vision back while still giving you the magnification and sight picture of a scope. This is what I use on my ruger scout.

Idk how much you guys know about engineering but I can tell you solar and wind are probably the WORST options we have right now for energy (and damn are those windmills butt ugly) wave power, nucelar, and fusion energy, supplemented with solar for smaller needs is my prediction for the future.

I'm in college as an engineer and I was always taught to try and fix problems no matter how hard. If we get stuck in our ways with fossils fuels we will eventually die out we need to progress to new forms of energy. Many may fail or be bad but we have to make those mistakes to progress.

I've done practically every variation of smoking there is but one that I just never got was smoking cigars. Why would one risk oral cancer when you don't even or rarely get any "buzz". I've been given a few cigars when hanging with family members I have no idea what kind but besides the taste...

How do you think rounds will progress with new advancements in telescoped and telescoped caseless ammo do you think these will have any use outside of the military. Im thinking self defense but for hunting where you arent carrying so many rounds that there weight is as much of a factor im having...

I think it’s the age difference I’m 18 and everyone else is much older here but this probably sounds stupid but all my friends want as the “premium” cigars are swisher sweets because they are the best cigars for rolling blunts. All these your talking about are way to good for that purpose lol...

I think it should be the animal thats the danger part not its environment. I also think you guys are right in terms of the animal being an icon as danger isn't everything. If it was the whitetail would be number 1 as it kills the most people per year in NA and the mosquito would easily top any...

Only thing is is I'm not sure about bison. They seem so dangerous to people but all the hunting videos are the equivalent of shooting cattle.

I've seen this debated before but most people seem to leave out the fact that Africa's big five was done by choosing the hardest and most dangerous animals to HUNT. Personal this would be my list and I'm curious to see yours. Grizzly Polar Bear Cougar Bison having a really tough time with this...

I've never really had anyone to hunt with ever since I started and now that my brothers moving away for a job there actually isn't anyone I know to even hunt with which really only leaves me with getting someone into it. Best option is my best friend who has the right qualities for a hunting but...

Luckily i'm in Florida so I already have some the hardest ones under my belt; fulvous whistling ducks, black bellied whistling duck, and mottled duck. Alaska definitely has the hardest ones to get to and actually kill. Can't wait to go there for moose and waterfowl some day.

1. Harlequin 2. Cinnamon Teal 3. King Eider 4. Red Grouse 5. Brant and Gizmo I do agree wood ducks are beautiful I just get them often enough to not call it a bucket list bird although it is a treat for the eyes and mouth when you do get one.

Cinnamon teal is one of my top bucket list ducks. I think they look better than almost all other ducks besides my personal favorite the harlequin. It hurt to pass salt lake when I went to Yellowstone last summer knowing to get a cinnamon I would probably have to go back there at some point.

Also these extreme expanding rounds have trouble going though clothes and certainly would work against bone. Copper petals also have the tendency to break off when shot.

Creating a revolutionary small arms round is very hard to do but African cartridges actually could be a great platform as they are larger so you can put more stuff into it. Biggest problem is you probably can't use explosive rounds for hunting like the raufoss round, mini heat round, or some...

I don't really get what you are trying to say here but I think your idea is like the military duplex round from the 80s that never left the prototype stage do to bad accuracy.

Wow these are spectacular. I've been trying to get into forging lately but just don't have the tools needed and my forge looks like its from mad max always seem to melt my steel in it, best I've done was just cutting out the shape then heat treating it. Hope to get to this level some day.

Wonderful some day I hope to have the pleasure of being your client. By the way didn't want to make a new thread but the cost of a rug mounted mountain lion is $150,095.00 on your price brochure, I hope it comes with 7 pounds of gold!

I never use outfitters as a local but lower St. Johns river has amazing gator hunting I've seen 50 gators on a 3 hour hike on public land before down there. Hogs are freakin everywhere I think some outfitters will even let you hunt them for free as they are a nuisance animal although north...

They said it was poachers in the news but the news isn't the most trustworthy thing.

Trust me I'm trying, I'm saving up as much money as I can for a hunt but walking dogs isn't going to get me far in paying for an African hunt, sitting on 7 grand some are in stocks, silver, gold etc. but I'm not willing to blow it all away. Going to college at 18 hopefully becoming a petroleum...

I'm quite young and have several years to go before I can even start earning a paycheck and looking at populations of the big five and anti-hunting laws I'm worried I may never be able to take any of the big 5 except maybe buffalo. What do you guys think the future of big five hunting is, will...

Most outfitters I've seen on this sight have places as good and a lot better then most houses I've seen. Not sure about wifi or TV but if luxuries your deal I've seen plenty of it all over this site.

To be honest I kind of get that. Having US personnel there I feel most would be ok with, but imagine driving past a dedicated Austrian air force base in Kansas. That would certainly spark up some anger.

Lol what has society come to. We think chimps and apes are stupid and we keep then in cages, then we turn out to be the ones throwing shit at each other.

Yeah sure narcissistic sociopath describes trump all right, its almost impossible to be both you know overly self confident and extremely shy sure yeah that sounds like Trump. By Trump driving a rift in the western world I think you mean republicans as any republican president would have done...

Well it will probably be unique to say the least not very many places where you can hunt in the jungle with the ocean nearby. Also a hell of a lot warmer hunting season than most of the US. As said before definitely plan for more than 4 days my grandma and grandpa went for a week (not hunting...

Wow I actually really like the idea its useful and unique especially if you already have some gators around the house. Its perfectly executed as well, the clock really looks nice the brass goes in wonderfully with the mount.

Lol the interviewer honestly looks like Hillarys daughter or at least close relative. Maybe Bill wasn't the only one cheating:LOL:

Great mount love the fine details like how the ribs are protruding on the side its bending away from but not the side the the body is going. One question that I have no clue the answer to is do lion's eyes dilate while hunting/charging I know when my cat gets riled up her pupils are huge...

Wow 40k for a sheep. You guys are coming up with good points and I do understand the pricing now, I just wish the government didn't have to stick it's nose into everything.

One pair of clothes I would suggest bringing extra of is a good pair of socks in my experience they get wet and sweaty you cant use them for awhile or they get sandy if its on the inside you might as well just throw them out. A good pair of socks can prevent blisters (bring moleskin though just...

Just goes to show how mother nature in indiscriminate in her fury those people are lucky they made it out alive. They have to say thank you to that guide who took the time to help them out of there.

They are selling because they have a total monopoly on brown bear hunts in Alaska. Its like saying that since joe smoes shop is the only place around that sells milk but charges 20$ a gallon for it people with money will still buy it because they like it and have the money for it. When Irma came...

Wow Mekaniks I've only ever seen sandhill cranes in the southern most parts of Florida and they are there all year round so I didn't even know they were migratory especially all the way up to Alaska. I mostly understand why guides cost so much although some are just grossly overpriced I could go...

While I don't doubt guides are very helpful I feel that meeting the right local could do just as much, I just have a hard time seeing the justification of the prices. Does anyone know if this will change their job is to protect animals not businesses as far as I know Alaska's the only place dong...

I highly doubt they did this for safety of hunters there are idiots all around an Alaskan resident could easily do something stupid while hunting while a nonresident could be perfectly fine or vice versa. Some more things that make me think is for the benefit or the outfitters (and most...

While looking at a DIY Alaskan hunt I noticed that non-residents couldn't hunt brown bears, mountain goats, and Dall sheep without a registered guide or a relative whos a resident of Alaska does anyone know why this is? These guided hunt prices are ridiculous are the laws just there to protect...

Never heard of swapping hunts before might try this is a few years. Florida has some great game that you can't get most places in the US Osceola turkey, Alligator, and some of the best sport fishing in the world down at the keys. Also has some great waterfowl opportunities across the state. We...

Yeah I know a full body mount would be amazing but not really affordable for me.

Florida is thinking of another black bear hunt in 2019 or near after. What kind of bear taxidermy do you guys prefer shoulder mount or rug. They seem to cost about the same amount around here so thats not really a factor. I feel like its whatever looks the best to hunter but wanted to see if...

Congratulations and beautiful trophy cool to see someone from around me (I live in St Johns) go on an African safari.

I know I could use most things on small game like whitetail but if I wanted to hunt for elk sized game what would be the best broadhead for lets say 20-35 yards.

Found the legislation  A person younger than 21 years of age may not purchase 679 a firearm. The sale or transfer of a firearm to a person younger 680 than 21 years of age may not be made or facilitated by a 681 licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer So can I...

Ok so I can't go to Georgia to get a gun but I still want to be able to hunt could I still have my parents guns in my possession and use it like my own or is that illegal to. I would think this is legal though because as far as I know 18-20 year olds with guns aren't going to have to turn their...

I can't seem to find a full legislation anywhere but does this law only specify SALE to those under 21. If this is true I should be able to legally drove to Georgia go to the nearest gun store buy anything I want come back and be in lawful possession of all the things I bought expect handguns. I...

Asked my governor if they had to ban something ban semi auto weapons over .22LR for 18 year olds but at least let them have long rifles and shotguns. Really hope he vetoes this or another governors elected that repeals this. The scariest part for me is he doesn't even care about the age limit...

Of course this has to happen to me. So now I can't legally hunt in this damn state when I'm in college unless I use bow or I drive 3 hours back to my parents house. Do they really expect me to go out with a bow and kill ducks (possible but impractical and surprisingly legal). This is the first...

One more question since it's a national park do they allow camping in the park. What would be the costs and would you have to camp in a designated spot or anywhere.
