Bought an Orvis vest. Don't remember the model but was all waxed cotton with lots of storage and a big, zippered mesh pouch in back. Knew as soon as I unwrapped it that it was heavy. Wore it twice and gave it to my grandson. Them young legs and back can handle it.

I never have but I've noticed a lot of old grills sitting around some of the dives I've stayed at. Always figured some guys grilled some pheasants and left the grill.

Not sure what you mean by shorter. Scoped means that they make a very small incision and run in a camera and Dremel (for lack of medical terms) and grind down the Cartlidge that's poking out the side. If you've ever seen two pieces of steel that have been rubbing hard on each other for years...

Possible. Many years ago, my buddy's young shorthair was a great dog with a soft mouth. One day he got spurred in the mouth enough to make to bleed. From that day on he made dammed sure they were dead before he brought them back. No attempt to eat them just a couple hard bone crushing chomps.

Hmmm. I've had both A.C.L.'S replaced and one meniscus repair. It's been about 35 and 25 years since. I'm just now having some pain oddly in the most recent one. The best braces will be the ones that hinge in the knee with solid braces on the sides, but I don't think that will solve it after...

Nothing is too tight for late season. Unless a guy is near pro level, you'll get some variances in pattern placement. I like the shoot the sheet method. Nail up an old sheet or big piece of paper with a dash of paint on it. Step back about 10 yards. Shoulder and shoot quick but not rushed until...

Probably all or most of us have seen that shot. It's as close as there is to a clean miss and still wind up with a bird in the vest.

Yeah, lets block the gas ports and make it a bolt action. :rolleyes:

A buddy of mine put a set of Sailun Teramax on his truck. He said they were 10 ply and quiet. I know nothing about them but they looked pretty good.

I had 1 pair of Danners. They leaked like a sieve 1st day. Sent them back. I like the Meindls. I wear the Euro lights for cold weather.

Looks like1625.00 well spent.

Yeah, my experience with CZ hasn't been very good either. It's hard to advise about a repair without seeing it. But I would think if it just cracked on its own, I wouldn't think it's too bad. Depending on where it's cracked, it may not even need fixing. Look on the bright side. Now you have that...

I remember a rare true double on rosters. Both dead. Different directions. Another that sticks in my mind was, my buddy and I had a covey of quail pointed in a tree line. I was shooting my Rizzini 16 o/u. I stepped through the tree line and a few steps latter a huge covey got up staggered. I...

I wear glasses, so it's a little harder to find the perfect lenses. Regular transitions barely get it done. Colors can be hard to distinguish. Also, cloudy or foggy days on the snow were ridicules. The snow would reflect the light, thus turning the lenses dark. I couldn't see crap! I would...

I'm afraid I'd have to get me a couple mongooses!
