    Interesting article on bear spray vs. bear handgun defense

    Clickbait. Per the article, 300 million visitors per year at 423 parks. 330 deaths per year equals one per million. Over half are accidental, leaving 150 per year of which 95% are suicide. "A total of 73 people were murdered in the past 5 years." So 73 out of 1.5 billion visitors in 5 years. And...

    What is it with dweebs on YouTube?

    Don't knock it. My new .30-30 prc will be featured in a youtube vid in the Extreme Long Range Hunting (ELR) forum shortly. One mile easy, but you should see it kick!

    New info on Chronic Wasting Disease

    Actually, prions were initially considered to be a conspiracy theory in the scientific community: The word itself derives from 'proteinaceous infectious particle'; it refers to the initially heretical hypothesis that the infectious agent causing those diseases consists only of protein, with no...

    New info on Chronic Wasting Disease

    Didn't know the game biologists wanted to be informed and would actually go out and kill the animal and test it. Last fall I saw a deer that was walking very funny, as if it was a horse trotting. It was with a group of several dozen deer each day and occasionally a large herd of elk mixed in...

    Ever See Donkeys in with Livestock?

    We had a donkey and a german shepherd when I was a kid. There was a steep trail, maybe 100 feet long, between the driveway and the corral. The donkey would chase the shepherd up the hill to the driveway, where the dog felt it was her 'turf'. Then the dog would turn and chase the donkey down the...

    New info on Chronic Wasting Disease

    The real scientists are working on it. Lowering of prion protein (PrP) expression in the brain is a genetically validated therapeutic hypothesis in prion disease. Studies recently showed that antisense oligonucleotide (ASO)-mediated PrP suppression extends survival and delays disease onset in...

    How far out will you kill an elk by yourself?

    Was winching some large cut logs into the truck up a ramp once with about 50' of 5/8" twisted nylon rope. Had a heavy pulley on it and a log got hung up. Stretch on typical nylon is 30% before failure and was using a 2000 pound winch. Think 50' slingshot. When the rope broke (wasn't looking back...

    What would you do?

    I think a Ruger Amrican Gen II Predator in their newly added 7mm PRC would be great.

    Small Lady's Brother?

    Elsewhere as in spying on 'terrorist' moms attending PTA meetings to protest trans brainwashing and of course infiltrating Catholic churches - but 'we don't do that anymore'. Right.

    Last post I read she was piloting the boss's twin engine turboprop to get to another one of his properties.

    Barrel timing

    Nice pic for an amateur ;) How did you get it? It almost looks like the BBL is cut off just in front of the hole?

    Small Lady's Brother?

    Yeah I get around despite my weight and age. Ever notice though how pretty much every expert on youtube is an 'ex-navy seal' or 'green beret'? Buddy of mine at work was an actual ex-navy seal. Walked with a bit of a hitch. I never even knew it until somebody told me the story after a few years...
