Re: Camoing my gun?

Depending on how much you want to spend there are several options. Duracoat makes a firearm specific paint in camo colors. They are a bit on the expensive side but the few I have seen do in fact wear very well. I am going to do this to a Savage I am building right now- I will post pics later...........

Re: Hog Hunting

How much did that hog in the back of the red pickup weigh? I downed my first hog last season here in Florida with a Traditions black powder inline. I passed on a big boar I watched for over an hour since I wanted an eater. I hear some people saying they process and eat the boars if under 150lbs? Loo...

Re: A nanny pulled a 2-year-old girl from the jaws of a coyote

Just north of LA is where I was "turned on" to coyote hunting. I "tuned" quite a few in the Lancaster, Mojave area while working there on business. After doing some research I found there were regular incidents of people and coyotes. I remember one on the news that took one ladie...

Re: Anyone had experience with a Barska ???

I used a Barska SWAT 3.5-10X40IR for years and busted up quite a few dogs with it (and one cat). I was happy with it until I broke down and bought a Millet TSR-2 and it made the Barska look dim- almost like looking through a tinted window. On the Barska's good point is that it tracks well and return...

Hey David- I didn't know you guided too. The next time I get that way I would like to set something up. Hopefully this fall I will get to use the calls I picked up from you. They sound real good but the diamond wood looks just awesome.

I like the way you think. That would certainly be the most authentic distress call. On that same way of thinking has anyone ever seen the woodpecker decoy hat haphazardly flaps and looks injured? It is called the "whirling woodpecker" by outfoxed products? http://www.outfoxedproducts.com/ ...

Thanks for the replies! I must say you all must be good luck. Still feeling a bit wooped I thought I would try making a set this morning. I switched up calls to the first call I ever bought the ole KI-YI from Randy Anderson. A real deep pitch like a fawn bleat and low and behold I had started a race...

Distress call question?

I am still looking for my first kill in the varmint world. It's been hard as I end up going alone while working different jobs all over the US. I recently got a landowners permission as the lambs seem to be the food of choice here. After several attempts and no luck I am starting to question my call...
