Big Stick, How do you Plea... #85637 08/26/02

(Ie. .300 Super. Leupold, Elevation Turrets, .25-.284, Barnes X., etc. Would that be you? (Wonderful article by the way. Just in case the author is also a poster which is probably a safe bet!) <br> <br>I'm sure that this was brought up previously, so I apologize if it is a repeat for the regulars.

Now that I can put a couple of characters with it, it is even that much more enjoyable. It must truly be incredible to have that kind of hunting opportunities that close. <br> <br> <br> <br>

JJHack, Muley Stalker and I have all had articles published in it. Here's the website address if you'd like to check it out further. <br> <br>http://www.bear-hunting.com <br> <br> Is it Friday yet?

What do you think about Mule Deer's switch barrel rifle project? <br> <br>Sincerely, <br> <br>Bearrr264

It is very high quality, you just sometimes have to "hunt" to find who carries it. Guess I need to subscribe!!! <br> <br>PS. Big Sky, I really enjoyed the article.

It seems we've had a tougher August than usual,in regards to the weather and that throws a curve too. MUCH wind,today as another example(so I'm Mr. Mom,tending the home fire). <br> <br>My tit is always in the wringer,I wouldn't know how it felt,to be out of the Penalty Box(grin). I've not thought about that issue,since it's ending. I'm generally firm in my stance,but allow much leeway and seldom lock horns for real. That ordeal had nothing to do with the Outdoors,Rifles or Ammo. Water under the bridge and that page has been turned. I'm not one to dwell on trivial matters. <br> <br>I missed Mule Deer's project,I'll sniff around and see if I can find it...................... <br> <br> Brad says: "Can't fault Rick for his pity letting you back on the fire... but pity it was and remains. Nothing more, nothing less. A sad little man in a sad little dream."

Sure, but I sure as heck would not allow someone to take a picture. <br>You don't need that kind of evidence, especially around here. <br>Of course you have nothing on Dr, Howell, he did it with live grizzlies.
