The United States of America is 245 years old today. Let's all wish it a very happy birthday. :horseback: (Paul Revere) :thumb:

What were the pests you were controlling?

I was hunting on public land during the 3-day muzzleload season there. I had seen a decent buck for the last two years in the area but never had a chance at him. After hunting until 11:00, I decided to move my stand to a different spot. Now it was about 12:30 and 88 degrees. I dragged my butt...

I love duck hunting but got too old for all the work and time involved ... plus my retriever died recently. The ducks in your photo appear to be ducks related to mallards but some show a black bill and a speckled appearance. Will you fill me in on the species?

The application period starts tomorrow. It appears that the shooters won't get to keep much, if any, of the meat. As stated in the FAQs: "Lethal removal does not allow the person who killed the animal to keep the entire animal; " Only centerfire rifles in .30 cal. or above and non-lead ammo...

Spence, I don't believe it was luck at all. Congrats! :thumb: Like Brad and Troy I like #5 shot the best. However, I have no problem with either #6 or #4 shot. I have some nickel-plated #5 shot that I bought and it patterns the best in my SxS 12 ga. I use plastic cups to hold a tighter pattern...

You obviously don't know the official rules of pig riding. You have to hold your own beer in one hand and use the other hand to swat the pig's rear. A 12 second ride is required to accrue points and extra credit is given if you can swap your beer from one hand to the other without spilling any...

My mother-in-law gave me a suckling pig for my birthday one year. I went elk hunting and left the pig on his own. When I got back, things interfered and he became a pet of sorts. He slept on the WELCOME mat at the front door and grew to be 400 lbs.+. I would go out after a few beers and straddle...

It's too bad that there are no natural controls for hogs that aren't dangerous or pests for humans like a bacterium that only affects Sus species.

It seems as if every firearm has its own idiosyncrasies. Once you figure them out, it's all good. :thumb:

Feltwad "forgot to mention" that all of the "driven pheasants" are pen-raised birds. The only wild pheasants in the UK are escapees from pheasant shoots ... the kind that Britsmoothy hunts.

Hogs and whitetails are the only ones on your list that I've killed with MZ. The longest shot on a hog was 90 yds. and the shortest about 3 yds. .....Avg. =~ 40 yds. The longest shot on a deer was 112 yds. and the shortest about 15yds. .....Avg. =~ 35 yds. It's not on your list but I shot a...

I rode with a deputy sheriff for 3 years. I always identified the immediate threat but never saw any peripheral threats. I was a much better shot than most of the deputies because I have tunnel vision. I believe that this is the reason for "spray and pray" among LE officers. They identify...

He looks like a Chesapeake. :thumb:

We bought a 60 acre ranch in 1976. I had horses and blackbuck antelope along with some mouflon sheep. One morning I heard barking behind the house and investigated with my .38 revolver. A pack of 8 dogs had 2 horses cornered and I snuck in trying to get a close shot. It was real thick with...

I don't hunt with a mzl pistol on purpose but use it if the situation is right.

That link is 4 1/2 years old. I guess the website is kaput.

I don't understand this post. It's a close-up of a squirrel and ....??

How coarse is the 'useless' stuff? 2F, 1F, or cannon?

Thank you for the recipe.
