I've seen the deer so caught. Just because you never heard of something, it CAN'T BE, right? Like all the MD's who were SURE that ulcer's couldn't be the result of an infection?

Said he'd had to shoot about 40 in his carreer. Mostly young ones that got into people's homes and wouldn't leave. He used a single shot 22 rifle, shot them in the eye or the ear. So much for...

How about a report on what size target you can consistently hit with such arrows, along with a measurement of the distance to said target? That would be good to know.

yep, it's the knife the REAL pros favor, meaning butchers and meat packers. Funny how they don't bother with the $400+ hunting knives, aint it?

microfiching makes an entire library carryable in your pack. A manual aint much, if any help, really. The ability to create fiche is so helpful that it's a major deal. So handle it like you would...

There's no reason to starve. Just stop making the house payment, for a month or two, and that will buy well over a year's supply of food. you can live in a van, or have a small pull trailer, put your...

you'd think so, to read this forum! :-) Bears, bears, bears. Sheesh. I used to see bears daily when I ran a garbage truck, never had a problem, even tho I was taking their food. Occasionly one woujld...

when he and his guys confronted 280 of them in the midst of armed robberies, as part of NYPD'S Stakeout team, 1968. These guys were robbing the same liquor stores, 2x a day. They were and are a lot...

because 80+% don't make you hit them with any bullet at all, and half who won't just "bluff" will stop when solidly chest-hit with 1-2 rds of 22. If you get a .22 in your torso, you are quite...

Too bad you're wasting your money on a place to lay your head, but 99+% of people have bought into that baloney, so you've got a lot of company.

Anyone who can't be bothered to just look at the obvious facts, and instead cares about who the messenger was, is beyond help, anyway.

It's 2010. All you have to remember, ID and prep wise, is to have your info on microfiche, and have your magnifying glass so you can read up on what's what. Then you can spend your time doing more...

I have no camera, nor any desire to spend time enlightening people who can't envision things for themselves. If you'd read other segments of this board, you'd read how it's done. 3 threads suspend...

in a carbine, the 357 is a LOT more powerful than the 9mm carbine. The longer case lets you use a lot more powder, and the longer barrel lets you get more performance out of that powder.

Depends a lot upon barrel length. Put that 444 in a 4" barrel, and see what you get. Fire the 9mm in a 12" barrel, and load it for top performance in that length, and it will rifle the 22 hornet (in...

So somebody shot a bear a time or two, so what? It wasn't charging them. Assasination is not the same thing as combat. A 22 will eventually bleed one out, just put it into his lung, and he'll drown...

So what? The bears know better than to charge people. The ones who try never live to pass on their genes. It's been pretty well bred out of them over the last 100 years. All this "bear charge" stuff...

maybe I could get by with inferior gear, but why should I, or anyone else, take the risk? Guys have $30,000 in an SUV, thousands more in gear, and cry about an "extra" $100 or so for a fighting...

As I said, you can do anything with an auto that you can with a bolt, plus lots more things that the bolt can't touch. So why handicap yourself with the bolt action? Especially one that costs as much...

Stalingrad was 70 years ago, against others with just bolt actions. Today, it's against 1022's, AR.s, AK's. In Korea, 1972, I saw lots of dogs kept for eating purposes. My houseboy said he preferred...

none, same as everyone else. :-) More people die of insect stings than even get ATTACKED by bears. You'd be lying if you claimed any such experience, and you're for sure wrong if you try to claim...

ok, I only dealt with them on a daily basis for a year. How many have you walked up on in the dark, to within 10 ft, bud? :-) I'd have it happen quite frequently. they are sometimes not very happy...

What I've always used was hay, dunno if straw's worse or not. Just spread it around to suppress weed growth, retain moisture. What caused your fails, do you think?

serve as a "spare" knife (after being mounted inside a split-ended hunk of green wood, etc). So the SOG multi-tool is the only other bladed instrument that I carry.

I have the tubing in my pack, along with a single arrow head. Rocks don't fly straight, and I'd rather have the same size and wt of .22lr's, for the AR's conversion unit, than the ball bearings or...
