Home Forums Hunting & Shooting General Big Game Anybody get a NEW good stuff?......

Well, not much new hear. My dear wife got me a book on moose, I believe the title is Moose ecology and management in North America. Anyhow, big ass book, and the line is, either I now have no excuses for not getting moose for the freezer, or I'll know exactly why I don't. Trouble is, I haven't had time to sit down and read it.<P>I'm supposed to finally get my 218 masburn barrel for the contender, my theory is 22 hornet rifle power from a 10" pistol, should be hear anyday, and I'll find out for sure. <P>Future stuff, I'm supposed to be getting a/the 416 Howell reamer, a 2.5" 404 based 416. I'm also looking at getting a lathe to do my own work. If that happens I'll be in serious deep cover mad scientist mode building all sorts of goodies, and catching all sorts of grief from the wife. Wish me luck.

458Lott to stay in good standing with the lady of the house you make her something FIRST!!!! Or you get her started on something that keeps her so busy she won't care what you are doing.....trust me

3 Marlin 1895G's in 45-70, trying to capture the market on these, a 500 AHR from American Hunting Rifles and a VZ24 in 8X57. That's it until next month. HeHeHe<P>------------------<BR>Allen

Paul.. a happy sweetheart has plenty of Alaskan Native crafts, and I'm willing to help you out, buddy! ;-) ~~~Suluuq

Toons,<P>Oh yeah, I know about keeping the boss happy! I made her a jewelery box to put the many pairs of earings I've gotten her for special occasions, or more often, just because. I also spent last night painting instead of being a troll in the garage.

Greetings,<P>I picked up a new 870 Super Mag a couple weeks ago. I finally replaced the one I foolishly sold last year. I'll never sell another gun again.<P>Mike

Do controlled hunts count?

This year I was somehow lucky enough to receive 2 controlled hunt tags in Idaho. One for Mule Deer bucks and one for either sex Elk (I’m hunting for a bull). Both in south-central Idaho, consecutive weeks, both muzzleloader, the first two weeks in December. My employer was gracious enough to let me take that time off, so I’m hunting both.

I figured I’d be in snow and needed someway to get around so I bought a brand new 2019 Yamaha Grizzly 700cc.

I needed something to haul the Griz in and somewhere to keep it at home so I bought a 7’x14’ Haulmark enclosed trailer.

And for the Griz, heated grips/thumb warmer, rear cargo box, tire chains, Kolpin rifle scabbard.

For the trailer, E-track w/ E-straps.

I’ve been spending money like a crazy man. I had a friend tell me if I don’t spend it, someone else will. That helped a little ...😁.

I bought a few new rifles, some 99’s, an old Sako L-61, a 700 C-grade. I’ve been bad!

Man, I miss some of those guys!
