    video of cannon quike fire.

    This guy (cannons are not pipe bombs) will be lucky if he just looses a limb, likely it will be someone elses. I especially like his reply to a comment "if use smokelesss powder remeber to check that theres some burning space when loaded (smokeless powder needs more air to fire propely). And...

    Feral Cats & Dogs!!!

    I would never shoot an big eyed sweet doggie, I would let him nibble on my leg untill his tummy was full. :haha: I figure you could use any means needed to stop a dog or cat(they are meaner) short of hitting the dog with your wife. :nono: Rusty

    Feral Cats & Dogs!!!

    I have never had any experience with stray dogs and after reading your post I don't want to. I suppose that you could call the local warden or Humane Society, but if you live in the country your often left out in the cold. Good luck to you. Rusty

    Fartherest shot at deer?

    I was once within bayonet range of a young of the year doe, I only had an antlered deer tag so powder burns on that deer. While hiking with my dad, we spooked a sleeping doe. We were between her and the only cover nearby so she ran toward us. The deer didn't see my dad behind a tree and...

    Feral Cats & Dogs!!!

    In WI it is illegal to shoot cats and only game wardens can kill dogs. The real problem is knowing if an animal is stray or not. My mom’s cat was shot out of tree by our neighbor, because it woke him up. My dogs on several occasions have brought home the legs of deer of winter and unfound...

    slob hunters tick me off!!!!!

    I hunt and hike a piece of state land in Winnebago Co, WI where calling some hunters a slob is to give them a complement. It is bad enough that the woods are so over-hunted that there is almost no game there, but then you have to deal with guys who gut and butcher their kill in the parking lot...

    Help get lead legal for waterfowl

    Many of you may think I am crazy, but I even use steel for squirrels. If I shoot out the barrels of my 10 gauge so be it. Lead is extremely toxic to birds because they keep the shot in there crops to aid in digestion. With some types of bottoms in marshes and lakes lead sinks into the much...

    Experience / Opinions on Cabela's double shotguns?

    My two cents. I got a 10 gauge from cabellas about six years ago. I have taken it out duck hunting a few times, but I haven't been lucky enough to bring down a duck yet. It is really fun to see the reactions of other hunters nearby when unloading at the end of the day. I always cap both...

    Wisconsins Muzzleloader season or lack of.

    I wish WI had more opprotunity for muzzle loading deer hunting. There are not too many of us to cause snowmobilers a problem. I don't really want to hear them whinning in the woods though. Having the hunt after the nine day gun deer season is not a problem for the deer in my opinion. The...

    Deer Hunting with a pistil

    Have any of you hunted deer with a pistil. I was thinking of getting a pistil, traditional of course and was wondering what others used. I would mainly be using it for a quick second shot at close range and even more likely as a finishing shot. I was thinking that I would like a revolver, but...
