Hey, here’s a couple visitors we get on a regular basis. Can’t let the dogs in the yard when they visit Take Care

Hey, I use one for my 22-250AI. The hydro formed cases shoot very close to the fully formed case. I haven’t had to change anything in my loads from hydro to fully formed in any of the three loads I’ve developed. Take Care

Hey, as a retired Army WO I use the military hospital that’s close to home a lot. This is another one the Doc’s there always ask, “Do you feel safe at home”? Me, “Sure, I have guns in the house”. Only did it one time, because I got the strange look. Take Care

Hey, sounds like a great trip, have fun and safe travels Take Care

Hey, I have two shots. First a Spruce Grouse with my 45 LC. It was around 40 yards away sitting on a tree branch about five foot off the ground. I was with a friend, I pulled the revolver out and started to aim at the bird. He said, “ No way you can hit that bird”. I aimed just above the breast...

Hey, very happy to hear that you’re done with the surgery. Best wishes for a healthy recovery. Take Care

Hey, having things shipped to AK is most of the time a pain. And I just live in Fairbanks, can’t imagine being out in a remote village. My favorites dealing with companies: “We don’t ship to AK”, I say why, we are a State, the USPS IS HERE? Actually had one place tell me, “We don’t ship to...

Hey LRNut, I got my hunt in an auction at the Anchorage SCI banquet from these people: https://www.ibexhuntespadella.com/es/. I had a great time, great people, the staff was great, food was fantastic. My wife and I enjoyed it. The Boc hunt was also thru them, but you have to fly to the...

Hey, not really my dream hunt; because that seems to change pretty regularly. But, I’m currently in Spain. A couple days ago I took a bucket list animal, an Ibex. Also hunted for Red Legged Partridge behind pointing dogs. Yesterday I took a Balarean Boc. Also culled a female Boc, guide has 20...

Hey Graintrader, you should hunt her as long as she can go. You just limit her hours. I have a 13 year old Brittany, she lives for Birds and cuddles. I plan on giving her both for as long as possible. When she can’t go at all, then it’ll be cuddles on the couch. Take Care

Hey, after a couple years of trying to get Army Dr’s to take my kids tonsils out, we finally found one that said yes. Oldest daughter said no way, think she was 13/14. Can’t force a kid that old, so she ended up having them out at 36. Amazing she admitted that she really should have listened to...

Hey, I had a friend introduce me to his books shortly after I joined the Army. He was very talented writer. I believe I have every book he wrote. For three or four years my FIL got me a signed copy of his latest. When we went camping I read them to my kids. Good times. Take Care

Hey, I also use the Tuffpac, I’ve had it for about 20 years. The great thing about it is that it doesn’t look like a gun case. I’ve packed two rifles and a shotgun gun in mine, guns were all in soft cases inside it on a trip to Africa. Going thru California one time it came out with the other...

Hey, my 300 Wby with a five port brake has tore the printer paper right out of my Olher 33 chrono. I’m currently trying out the Fat Tuna to see if it helps a bit with the direct blow back Take Care
