    Clueless Illinois resident

    I don't get it. I just called Midsouth Shooters Supply, where I purchased a muzzleloader not three months ago, and inquired on one of their other guns. The woman asked what state I lived in, which is IL. She then said that as an Illinois resident, by law, I could not purchase the gun outside...

    Kit Carson

    Tom Fitzpatrick maybe even more so. Carson was born in Kentucky in 1809. He worked with Ewing Young from 1828 to 1831 through southern Arizona and California. In St. Louis, Freemont hired Lucien Maxwell as a hunter for his first expedition. Maxwell was good friends with Kit Carson, who...

    Any New Ideas for Movies?

    The most practical part of The Mountain Men was the geography. I think we have yet to see the perfect mountain man movie. The "lone trapper" doesn't do justice to the time period. I'd like to see a movie that gives a window into trapping companys, brigades, and exploration, showing it more as an...

    DOGS

    Interesting you mention this. I just read through an account of a trip from the mountains to St. Louis by William Sublette and Black Harris in the winter of '27. They took a pack-dog with them loaded with 50 lbs. of provisions. Unfortunately, the dog eventually became provisions, in a rather...

    Made a really bad shot today

    The propellant was air. The projectile was a 12d nail. The victim.....my thumb :( I skimmed a shot with an air nailer down the side of a 2x6 I was holding, and it bounced off my thumb about a foot away. OUCH! Flogged it pretty good. Penetrated the skin no problem, so I knew it bounce off the...

    replacing sights

    In my case, using the adjustible rear sight still requires filing the front sight to raise POI.

    WD-40, it's not just for guns

    WD-40 is the best and quickest hand cleaner for cold roof tar cement, glue, and silicone caulk :thumbsup: It's also good for cleanin' a boat motor carburator after you pull it off of an upside-down boat laying at the bottom of the Norfork River, AK a mile from where you docked it......but...

    Still Hunting

    If you notice sometimes when you are sitting still or in a tree stand, you will turn your head to see that a deer walks up on you without you ever noticing it, it is quiet, cautious, and sloooow! As one of the most stealth animals for its size, I let the whitetail itself teach me how to move...

    NY State bill would fund Anti-Hunting Office

    The more that bills like these are voted into law, the more poaching will become a virtue among hunters.
