Kinda like poking a sleeping bear with a stick... At least you should be able to outrun it. :p

Never sold a firearm... in fact I still have a Crosman BB gun from the mid 70s around here somewhere... probably with the cap gun I got on my 2nd birthday in a box in the attic. lol

I had a similar experience this past summer. I was working in a small cabin I use for a tool shop and went outside to relieve myself. I was in the middle of my business when I feel something move under my shoe. I glanced down to see I was standing on a small 4 ft grey ratsnake while at same...

Welcome from Stamping Ground, KY. Good to see so many fellow Kentuckians on here.

Putting down a pet is very difficult. It's every bit as painful as seeing a family member die. I have put down two of my own dogs when I had to, asked a neighbor to put down a horse of mine that had been hit by truck, and the last old dog I had the vet do the deed while I watched... Not sure...

If it's down to these two choices I'd go with the 6.5 CM simply because it will let you shoot a heavier bullet and may make a difference in a close encounter with a bear. I would not carry a bolt action in a scabbard personally. Much easier to pull a lever action and get on target quickly. I...

I'm just amazed y'all have internet. We're still struggling with that down here in Kentucky. 🙄

That's what I call living the dream life. You're one lucky lady!

Go down to the local hardware store and rent one these tunnel boring beasts and set yourself up with a nice subterrain range in the privacy of your very own yard! Should keep you nice and cool all summer. Or you can go look for some abandoned mine or train tunnel if you're on a tight budget. ;)

30-06 Weatherby if I am hunting the tree lines or meadows. Very accurate and a pleasure to shoot. If I am going to set up deep in the brush or the weather is foul, I prefer my Rem 783 in 6.5CM. It's cheap, reliable and can take the abuse and look none the worse for wear.

Another welcome from Kentucky.

Very Impressive! Congrats!

Check out the thread i the Hunting and Shooting forum posted a couple days ago. "James Eagleman tests the Athlon Cronus scope, tall target test and compared to NFNX8 and Trijicon 10 mile."

22 LR - plenty of ammo available, light, good survival gun -will do in a pinch 30-06 - plenty of ammo available, can take down just about anything then I'm torn between a 6.5 CM - in case there's an alien invasion and I need to be able to shoot lasers at orbiting spacecraft... or a 12 ga...

I went to using the Axil GS Extreme for the little bench shooting I do. I hate the wires but its more comfortable than the bulkier hearing protection which can interfere with a good cheek weld to the stock. The Axil setup still allows for hearing while hunting but often I feel like I miss some...
