Seconds if something falls through. Thanks

I give my dogs Wellness liquid in their food, seems to work. I run my GSP’s at least twice a day at my gun club down the road about a mile and bird hunt about 50 days/year.

When I moved to AK in 2006, I was told a 44 mag was the minimum for carry. I don't typically trust the minimum, so I went with a 460 S&W Mag. After carrying it 2 or 3 times I realized I didn't want to hike in fishing with what felt like the anchor for the USS Enterprise. I went to a S&W 329 PD 44 Mag and I got a Ruger Super Redhawk 454 Casull customized by Wild West Guns. The 429 was no fun at all even with light loads, but was a pleasure to carry. After customization, the Ruger was easy to carry and a pleasure to shoot with 45Colt or 454. My last year, I had a Glock 20 that I carried exclusively. What Phil said above is what made me switch.

I had a friend up there that has been on every kind of hunt you can imagine and he had me do the same thing Phil said, but with my rifle. I had to set up paper plates at 50, 25, 15, 10, 5 yards and see if I could put a round in each one in under 7 seconds. Doesn't sound that hard, but its pretty difficult with a big bolt action. I got to thinking about it and I set up some stuff at 10-20 yards and did it with my pistols. That 429 PD was useless after the 1st shot. I couldn't get it back on target very well. The Super Redhawk was more manageable with the porting. I was much better with the Glock. I wasn't going to get 17 rounds in a charging bear, but I was better with it than the heavy caliber revolvers. And I wanted to extra mag capacity because of the exact situation Phil was in. I might have to defend my wife and son and I wanted as many bullets as possible and felt like I might need them if the adrenaline was pumping. I carried spray when I was going to be around bunches of people and I didn't think shooting would be safe. Like at the confluence of the Russian and Kenai during the sockeye run. Way too many people for lead to fly but some days there were plenty of bears around. I did carry a .357 for possible 2 legged critters with the spray though.

I now live in AR. My woods carry guns include 9mm (Glock and CZ), 10mm (Glock), .327 Fed Mag (Ruger), and 357 Mag (Ruger Speed Six). With hardcast rounds, I'm confident in any of those calibers for the black bears we have around here.

Looking for the 22x and 30x eyepieces for the Bushnell Elite spotting scopes. I realize they have been out of production for a while, but I'm sure there are some out there...

Thanks for the offer sqweeler, but Torqued is sending me some brass.

'
Lower Deschutes mostly, big water where a staff helps a lot.
I use a converted ski pole.
I fancied it up with :
Stainless ring on the ski pole
1/8" black shock cord
Nail knotted and shrink tubed connections
Brass snap on my end
Grommet on a leather tab that is attached to my wading belt
Make the shock cord length slightly shorter than the staff so it will "keep" when walking the trail.

I made two in about '98 and still have both.

It's hard to find good donor ski poles with all the crazy bends and hook tips they use now.
Best bet is to sort through the bin at the used store and find an old school, straight shaft, straight (or cup) point pole.
Cross-country type ski poles are going to be more apt to have the wanted features.

We used to hunt chuckars during the mid-day hours of our rifle mule deer hunts on the Deschutes River in Oregon, we used to raft in and pretty much had the place to ourselves. One year 7 rafts of chuckar hunters and their dogs came in and pretty much messed up the deer hunting.

After that, we went deer hunting a week earlier because chuckar season was closed. Boy, I missed those days! Tough choice for mid-day activity, chuckar hunting or trout and steelhead fishing!

It looks like this one will just stay here.

Yes, form 3s are currently taking longer than form 4s.

No interest?

Up one last time before I stick it back in the closet.

if you have a Ruger #1 you don`t care for P.M. me maybe we can make a deal. thanks,Pete53
