Thank You God for my back yard range

Some years back my eye doc said that I was getting Glaucoma. He sent me to a specialist who put new lenses in my eyes, They had some type of holes in them to relieve the pressure. I am now 80 and can see the sights.

Never killed anything that I wasn't going to eat, rabbit, squirrel, racoon, grouse, woodcock, pheasant, woodchuck, muskrat, all kinds of birds with my BB gun went into the spaghetti sauce!

That's why I use paper cartridges, at 80 yrs. you can't expect me to remember everything.

I like to use my guns, and sometimes when out in the woods things happen. I have tripped, I have dropped it,and how mant have stood it up leaning against a tree? Plain stock is easier to patch and refinish.

Many years ago we had a beagle that would chase pheasants, her bark was different form chasing a rabbit. She would retrieve rabbits, birds, but she wanted to eat the squirrels. I had her up at my uncles place, and we were hunting near a fenced in reservoir. My cousin shot a pheasant that went...

I just buy a can of Repel from Wally World or Tractor supply.

If you want a dog for protection get a Karillion bear dog. I think they come from Finland where t6hey have brown bears. the dogs chase the bears some distance and then break off the chase. i don't know if is natural for them, or if they are trained.

If you practice and can hit what you aim at, a shot to the face or testicles will stop any man.

I remember an article by Phil Shoemaker where a client wounded a Brown bear. He sent the client back to the cabin with the Jr. guide and had the guide bring back ani-other guide. Any how they found the bear in the brush. The guide shot it with his 375 H & H magnum. his gun jammed, Phil shot the...

Like I told my wife when I die don't bury me just take me to the scrap yard, I must be worth something with all of the metal I've got in me!

My first flinter was a Pedersoli Kentucky 50 cal. I used Lehigh Valley Lube exclusively. I shot it during the early muzzleloader season and put it away and forgot to clean it. About a month later I took it out for squirrels, when you could still use a 50 for squirrels, and it fired first time ...

Count me in.

I believe that they are about the size of our snowshoe hares.

I recently talked to a fellow who loves bear hunting. He said that a full body mount is about $5,000.

I would rely on a semi-wadcutter. They penetrate and cause massive wound channels. Wide Flat Nose also perform admirably. Yoe don't have to worry about the hollow nose filling up with clothing.

I have to laugh at those who belittle 36' 31, 25, & 22 firearms. The worst I have been shot with is a Daisy BB gun as a kid. At 80 yrs. old I still remember it. thank God it was a Daisy I wouldn't want to get shot with a real gun no matter the caliber. If Anyone remembers the LA bank robbery...

Some years ago I put some seed out on a stump behind the house. The wife works from home, and I figured that she could watch the birds feed on the seeds. Well a squirrel came in and was feeding on the seeds for a while when some turkeys came in the yard. The turkeys started for the seed patch...

Being from an Italian family, everything we brought home went into the sauce. DELISHOUS

I have fat fingers. My Uberti 1858 seems to crowd my middle finger. Any way to get a little more room between the back of the trigger guard and the grip?
