    Baldwin Bolt Jeweling?? Problem. Help.

    Really sorry to hear this. I sent a cz bolt off and had it back beautifully in 2 weeks. This was about two months ago. Not a single, solitary issue with this service. I'm in complete shock as I have highly and eagerly recommended his work. Keep calling I would say, something sounds...

    Do we have enough BP agents to do this, and isn't the Nat. Guard mitary? This leads to a Military vs Civil issue as previously posted. Now you can be snarky and pedantic as is your typical MO to anyone who dares think differently than you, but no, I have not killed anyone and hope to never...

    I would hope and doubt a mother and children would run, especially considering knowing what the orders/consequences were, but valid point to be sure. As far as a male fleeing, yeah - FAFO. I've known kids who have died from fentanyll/heroin/meth and frankly, I'm tired of it, so yeah...

    These are all over the truck stop bathrooms for the tourist busses taking Chinese tourists to Yellowstone. They don't know how to use our toilets. Also, these busses make constant stops for these Chinese tourists to stop and take pictures. My farmer buddy has had issues with them climbing all...

    Good point, but I question if this is past a civil issue, and has become a military issue. IMO, we are being invaded with both good and bad actors. People and drugs are coming into this country in unprecedented numbers. In my non-military mind, wouldn't it be interesting to get the army corps...

    Kind of my point, wasn't just talking about Mexico, hence my mention of Hispanics. Regardless, my point (which is my own)is I feel there should be some path to citizenship that requires consequence. Your point #2 is right on. I was sheep hunting in Senora as the original "migrant caravan" was...

    The real tragedy to me is that we don't weed out those that aren't here looking for a better life. My best friend is Mexican, my grandson is about 1/4 Mexican. There are a ton of wonderful Hispanics here in the US, and sending them all "back" would be impossible. I, personally, am a bigger...

    Houston Fish and Wildlife Disappointment

    My trophies from last summer were held up at San Francisco and I used Coppersmith. This was 5 days and over $1,000 in storage fees when I got the call from Coppersmith while I was in the Northern Cape. I called my attorney, the SCI attorney, and my congressman. Then called Coppersmith and let...

    Another story if you'll permit me (this time in TX). I was hunting Aoudad outside of Bracketville a number of years ago. I knew of 3 huge rams in a band and was hoping I would eventually get a Crack. About the third evening, I was in the stand alone and I got that sixth sense (you hunters...

    My cousin and I often archery hunt pigs in Southern AZ. About 10 years ago, he was trying to convince me to come hunt and sent me trail cam pics he'd set up for coues deer. About 30 pictures, 2 had animals, the remainder were Mexican illegals. I laughed and asked him where he got the pics as...

    In Idaho we get voles on the farms. You hire a permitted exterminator, he comes out, leaks acetylene into the tunnels and after a while, lights a match and boom, no more voles. Obviously can't do that in Gaza, and can't use chemical warfare. So a dumb question if I may to those in or having...

    To be clear, you did say "neck and neck", i.e. similar, but in regards to Trump, I think you're correct, Trump is not the same man. I have seen lawsuits ruin people over the dumbest disagreements, but never in my life have I seen one person take so much from so many angles. I think he's a...

    One of your posts I personally agree about 100% with. But to be fair, both Pompeo and Cushner were "appointed" by Trump. It's naive to think a President does everything, you know this. I'm just glad he had the foresite to include them. You obviously know more on Ukraine than most, if not...

    Sorry, I'm seriously confused here. Biden wins on Israel and Russia foreign policy? While Russia was NOT busy invading Ukraine, Trump recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel and moves the embassy there. And Iran as a side note, much more emboldened under Trump I presume..!? Not to me...

    The leupold warranty

    Agreed! I've owned 4 Vortex in my life and had issues with one, but to their credit, great customer service. I have owned, well, a LOT of Leupolds and only sent one back. Fixed and back no questions. One of the best customer service focused companies in the hunting community for sure.

    Slow Hunting Western Wyoming

    I personally think that was always the plan. Introduce"natural" predators that will manage the herds without as much human hunting. Moose is a perfect example in Idaho. Decreasing populations, Decrease tags.

    Slow Hunting Western Wyoming

    22/23 was the worst winter kill I've ever seen in my life out here, worse than 1993 even. Hardly any deer in the fields at night or in the hills these days. Yet plenty of folks still looking to "bag a buck." Pretty disheartening honestly. If we truly practiced what we preached, we'd shut...

    Agree, Rugged would be my choice for best quality for the price point, I own a number of them and really am impressed with the versatility too. Check out the Alaskan 360 or Radiant, and the Silencershop online usually has some good sales/rebates/offers. I love the Radiant on my 22-250, 308...

    Here's my best bud. Super soft mouthed and will hold a retrieved bird until the end of time, or I take it. Nothing better to me than watching a hunting dog work, whether it be little heat seeking missiles on a bear or cat, or a pointer or flusher on winged demons- gets me amped!
