Lots of cash.

I'd be interested in your load data specifically in the 308 WCF, I'd like to work up a low recoiling load for a Savage 99 with peep sights for close range black bear. My 180 grain Speer Mag Tip loads with Varget kick too much for my 66 year old arthritic right shoulder in that lightweight carbine.

Yes it is. Somebody’s gonna be very happy.

We lived kitty corner to him. He used to always help me get my chain back onto my bike sprocket. He put in a good word for me at Johns Manville in ‘46

He helped daddy dig a french drain. Then we all went pheasant hunting with Kristy Noem and had chocolate chrp ice cream at Al’s Diner with Potsy from Happy Days.

He used to raise some of them 6ft tall boar goats

Howdy Steve,

With the silliness that 700s are going for these days. You might gain a bit more profit by putting it on an auction site.

IMR 4320 was my go to powder for the 17 rem. It was kind of universal in .17 land as were Rem 7.5 BR primers. I still have a few pounds of that, several k primers and Berger, RP, Hornady 25 gr HP’s. All which indicate that Im not shooting enough.

Show us a pic of your 700!

I'll bet most of us will never see this come up for sale again!
GLWS.

I hate meth too.

Ruins lives...

DELETED.

351PD is sold.
The hammerless 351C is still available

The PACs are set aside money for political use.
Collected as such.

Consider it a beer fund.
From a side job you have to have because you can’t buy beer with your income.

It doesn’t free up wage earnings, because you couldn’t use them to buy beer.

My money does not go to the PAC.
About the only consolation I get, when they
“ Speak for tens of thousands of members”


Not sure how they know what we might want to say?
They sure as hell have never ask!



Often wish I was the type with the knowledge and ability to start a reform movement.
It would probably take off.
But then I’d commit suicide or get killed in a bungled robbery.

Denny is getting "elderly" he could probably use one of those mobility scooters.

Great looking pistol.

Someone will be very happy with it.

Just got 4 pounds of Perfect Pattern. Loaded up some 1180 fps 1oz reloads in 12 ga AAHS cases utilizing the Gray Claybuster 7/8 oz wad to get proper stack height. Soft shooting and breaks targets well so far on after a couple trips to the range. Not enough experience yet to make any further commentary.

I have canned trout and catfish. Makes good fish cakes

19 count, Buffalo Arms Co. factory loaded 45-90, black powder, loaded with 535gr. lead bullets. I took 1 round for my personal cartridge collection. Looking to sell these for $55.00 or best offer shipped.

^^^^ THIS ^^^^

Blowing it up was safest for them. I mean, it wasn’t their house. Why would you expect a government kocksucker to take one extra scintilla of risk in soaking that dynamite with diesel and rendering it safe?

Illumination is THE great equalizer and they do it well. Hint.

Just sayin'..............

More likely scenario is that this time the election won't be certified, so Trump is never allowed to take office. Therefore, no impeachment required. The repercussions from either scenario is difficult to contemplate.

Hunted one evening, one day, and a 13 minute morning...

evening:
Set up on the plowed field 2 days after a heavy rain because thats where I have permission to hunt..
Nothing came out. Some loud putting on the creek bottom 40 feet away on other persons land. I would never get causght, but thiught they may come out to mud to pick.
Nope... 2-3 birds loud putting in the creek... no luck.
Lesson learned... set up on the ambush trail and if you don't see turkey tracks in the mud... they are not coming.

Thursday:
Got in early on my public land spot. They didnt respond to my owl call.. so I went deeper to a utility line cut to draw from my targeted woods and next big woods block.
1/2 hour later... hear owl hoots and the birds go nuts where I suspected them... Then I see a red light set up 75 yards away. I'm set up in a fence blind tucked in a cedar bush that someone had previously hollowed out a blind. I keep it easy on the calling.
The birds flew down and and left both of us. I hear them start to come back later. Not sure if my neighbor was chasing them. No booms or birds come in.
Hear a gobbler coming in out of the big woods.. that was a new boy on the scene and he came right in.
I make the mistake of calling when hes too close and he's 30 feet out from the cedar bush and I can only see his head above the dead grass. Coming right to me and not my decoys... Not sure if jake or tom... Can't get my barrel through the cedar bush... Ugh.
He stops... sees my Jake decoy... does loud putts and slinks away. Jakey hurt me.
Jake decoy removed and other groups of birds evade me. Tough hunting.
Can you owl hoot too early? or do I suck? the birds responded to it later...

Saturday:

Go to my friend place 3 hours away... private property next too dairy farm and feild. He got his bird by 7:00 AM weds and says there are more.
Set up in blind... do a soft tree yelp and 3 different gorups sound off...
Decoys are a jake 20 yard to the left and a he 30 yard to the right on the plowed field where his trail camera saw them before.
Bursd coming in fast...
7 bird come out to the hen decoy... look like they were heading over to the dairy farmers silage pile... didnt stop.. unitl I called... I can't tell if they have toms with...
All of a sudden the hens turn back and start circling my hen decoy.
Thge two toms come back strutting...
Here the boss tom and more hens coming still... Over run with tuirkeys.
The circling hens get nervous and start to go back into the woods...
Luckily the toms kept coming...
I don't think any of them saw the jake decoy (note: my firends tom was shot as it came to the jake decoy...)
Light enough I can see we have towms...
3o ish yard... franchi affinity 20.. federal tss... burris FF4... one shot... drops... I've never shot a bird with TSS... It drops... hardly any floppig at all. I'm impressed.. thia may be my forever turkey gun.
13 minutes after legal shooting time.... 2 year old tom.

So lessons learned:
Jake decoy can help or hurt. I suspect my thursday tome was a satelite that couldn't deal with it. I think only one hen decoy used in the future. Not 100% on that, but it seems like the jake decoy may spook them 50% of the time. Its exciting the other 50% of the time.
20 gauge with TSS 9 shot is the real deal.

I had my mouth call with me and used it a little... but little confidence... still keep the pot and box around....
Fence blind is still my secutiry blanket... but I may go to a camo blanket next year.
My tactical sling pack works until you are bundled up for a cold MN morning.
Realized I used my bib pockets more than the pack... started to think a calling Bib / Apron may be a better deal over vests, messenger bags, and sling packs.... (anyone ever see a turkey apron???)

I was patterning my 12 gauge franchi and 20 gauge and really liked the less recoil between the 2 oz 12 ga load down to 1.5 oz 20 gauge..
Not sure what I will do with the 12 gauge now... leave it for predators? beaver shootig? I have a lot of 12 gauge turkey loads to use up.... especially 10 rounds of 12 gauge remington TSS I want to try.
I think I'm not buying the rem 870 compact now... just use the 26 inch barrel franch 20 and 28 inch barrel 12 in a pinch...
At least I'm saying this until the next time I go handle shotguns.
Some guys like pumps because you can close them quietly over my intertia autos that you sometimes worry about the benelli click... although I've never have a click occur. I notice people go "forward assist" on their auto's on in turkey hunting videos... not a bad idea.



Long read from the turkey grasshopper here. Lots of learning.

Did I miss any lessons or things you can point out?
